We got cracking on booting up a router, with more information on the [[user:jcavalu3:portfolio:hpciiexperiment1|portfolio page]].

I am continuing work on my home server. I plan on using it to help out with sudoreboot stuff from my house since I can't make it to Corning frequently. I am installing debian onto it because crunchbang was giving me issues. More information on the project on the [[user:jcavalu3:portfolio:hpciiexperiment2|Home Server Configuration]] page.

I attended another CIST meeting up at the main campus and learned how to use Kali Linux and exploit other systems on the local network, which is nice. I also set up my router to port forward ssh to my server so I can access it from anywhere and continue working on it.

I'm starting back up on the VPN server at my house, which should be fun! I am going to use openVPN to start. All documentation can be found on the [[user:jcavalu3:portfolio:server:openVPN|openVPN]] portfolio page!

We did some DNS config on the router we set up earlier in the day, I haven't updated the [[user:jcavalu3:portfolio:hpciiexperiment1|project page]] yet, but it will be updated very soon!

More progress toward taking a dump! I set up my vm to automatically connect to the backup02 vm without requiring a password, which is not what you want when taking a scheduled dump.

I created a public and private key to bypass a required password to take a dump on the vm **backup02**. 

I also set up the dump and dumped to the backup02 vm

Important things:

cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys - appended my public key to the file that is on backup02
scp id_rsa.pub root@backup02:jawsh - sent my public key to backup02

dump -0uan -f - / |gzip -9| ssh root@backup02 "dd of=pancake.dump.gz"
