  • Update vulnerability databases through proxy with authentication

    By now I've set up the offline updates part and ran straight into https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/issues/20573 when I also tried to enable the Ubuntu checks. FML.

    I've found https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/issues/1112 which suggested to basically include the "http_proxy" and "https_proxy" environment variable definitions in "/lib/systemd/system/wazuh-manager.service" (updated path compared to the github issue).

    Seems like something that should be documented somewhere more official than a random reddit post for sure. Added it to https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/issues/1112 for good measure.
  • Risks of hosting a website out of my house

    Monitoring & Active Measures - Exporting firewall events to an external time-series database like I describe above is good to see who is touching your firewall or accessing your web site. Using an Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS) such as open-source Suricata, which is a free package on pfSense, and deploying file system integrity monitoring, such as the open-source Wazuh on the exposed server are also good approaches to protecting yourself.

    If you can provide us with the following information, we will be able to better assess the problem and confirm that these warnings are caused by issue #15160:

    On another note, as mentioned in my response to the question of this post, we are working on a complete rework of the Vulnerability Detection engine. This rework will provide a sanitized CVEs feed from wazuh.com and a completely new scanner engine. It will also include a new UI for global queries.

    Yes I'm aware that Grafana is open source but the method I used to find the API endpoints is far quicker than digging through hundreds of files in a codebase I'm not familiar with.

    So, you will add one last container to allow us to visualize this data: Grafana, an open-source analytics and visualization platform that allows us to see traces and metrics simply. You can set Grafana to read data from both Tempo and Prometheus by setting them as datastores with the following grafana.datasource.yaml config file:

    I completely agree but do feel it needs qualifying. The problems beginners run into aren't usually the same as the problems experienced devs run into when adopting a language new to them, but where I see the two overlap I know something is a serious hazard in a language.

    Java as a first language: won't like the boilerplate but won't have any point of comparison anyway, will get a few NPEs, might use threads and get data races but won't experience memory unsafety.

    Go as a first language: much less boilerplate, but will still get nil panics, will be encouraged to use goroutines because every tutorial shows off how "easy" they are, will get data races with full blown memory unsafety immediately.

    Rust as a first language: `None` // no examples found

    I think Go as a beginner language would be better if people were discouraged from using goroutines instead of actively encouraged (the myth of "CSP solves everything"), otherwise I think it needs much better tooling to save people from walking off a cliff with their goroutines. And no, -race clearly isn't it, especially not for a beginner.

    And in one respect I've found Go more of a hazard for experienced devs than beginners: the function signature of append() gives you the intuition of a functional programming append that never modifies the original slice. This has literally resulted in CVEs[1] even by experienced devs, especially combined with goroutines. Beginners won't have an intuition for this and will hopefully check the documentation instead of assuming.

  • Start your server remotely
    2 projects | /r/selfhosted | 11 Dec 2023
    I build the Tasmota firmware for the S31's nightly, and expose the Prometheus endpoint so I can also monitor the current used by these devices in real time with the data pushed to Grafana. I have ~30 of them in my home/homelab, and servers, appliances, sump pump, fans, etc. are all monitored by my S31 fleet.

    In most cases, applications use the combination of Prometheus + Grafana, which allows collect data and display it in the form of graphs and also to set up alerts for changes in any metrics.
