Had quite the busy night tonight…
Somewhere in the wee-hours of the morning, in a Red Bull induced fit of system administration, I got fwknop working on one of my main boxes. I must say… it’s quite a nifty little tool.
Essentially, I send only one encrypted packet utilizing an asymmetrical cipher to my machine instructing it to do different stuff like run commands or change some netfilter policies. It’s way faster than port knocking, and it can do much more right out of the tarball.
In all, pretty useful for the tin foil hatters among us.
For friends and acquaintances of mine following along, I don’t really have anything going on this weekend. So, for those of you who would like to meet up for dinner or drinks sometime, let’s make it happen.
