January 2014 Issue of Linux Journal: Security
Lapsang Souchong!
Back when we were kids, "security" meant little more than having a secret password to keep little siblings out of the treehouse. That's still the case in some situations. Take the title of this column, for instance. If you go to the #linuxjournal IRC channel on FreeNode, saying "Lapsang Souchong" will mark you as part of the inner circle. (Note, this does not make you one of the cool kids...possibly the exact opposite!)
When it comes to computer security, however, things are quite a bit more complex. Whether you want to encrypt your data or lock down network access, Linux provides a wide variety of security tools. This month, we focus on using those tools in our Security issue.
Reuven M. Lerner starts off the issue with instructions on how to integrate Twitter into your applications. Whether you need your app to tweet results, error messages or automatic cat photos, Reuven walks through implementing the API. Dave Taylor follows up with a tutorial on using the ImageMagick suite to watermark and copyright photos. Since I use ImageMagick extensively with my BirdCam project (which you'll hear more about in a month or so), I found his column particularly interesting. If you need to work with photos, especially if direct interaction isn't possible, Dave's column will be interesting for you too.
Kyle Rankin gets into the security mindset this month by approaching privacy. Specifically, he explains how to set up Tor in order to browse the Web in private. Tor is just as useful as it once was, but thankfully, it's gotten easier and easier to implement. I follow Kyle's column with The Open Source Classroom, and this month, I talk about file encryption. Many people are intimidated by the notion of encryption, but it doesn't have to be scary. This month, we'll do just enough encryption to wet your whistle, and hopefully get you interested in learning more.
Although I may have introduced encryption in my column, Subhendu Bera takes things to a whole new level with Quantum Cryptography. Mathematics-based encryption is complex, for sure, but will it be enough as technology advances? Subhendu gives an explanation of Quantum Cryptography and a quick lesson in Quantum Mechanics as well. If you're interested in the future of cryptography, you'll love his article.
Remember Telnet? Telnet has been replaced in almost every situation by the much more secure SSH protocol. Granted, there still are a few situations that warrant the use of Telnet, but those generally are inside your network and never over the Internet. Just switching to SSH, however, isn't enough to ensure that you're secure. Sure, the connection itself is encrypted, but what if you have a user with a simplistic password? Or a script kiddie scanning for vulnerabilities? Federico Kereki describes how to harden SSH this month, making the wonderful and flexible SSH protocol a little safer to use. Whether you want to limit your allowed users or disable password connections altogether, Federico's article will guide you down the path of better SSH.
I may have started this issue with the basics of file and disk encryption, but if you are looking for more, Tim Cordova is about to be your favorite person. Going far beyond single file or even removable drive encryption, Tim shows how to encrypt your entire hard drive. Then, Tim goes even further and explains how to configure TrueCrypt in conjunction with SpiderOak to make sure your data is not only encrypted, but backed up as well! If you're interested in privacy and encryption, don't miss this article.
We finish off the security issue with Brian Trapp's article on solid-state drives. SSDs have been around for a number of years now, and we're finally to the point that we can provide some longevity statistics and reliability information. Have you been avoiding SSDs because you thought they would wear out? Did you think they had a significantly higher failure rate? Were you worried that you need Windows-specific drivers to make them work? Brian assuages many of those fears and validates those that are valid. SSDs are fast, and they can provide an incredible performance boost in most situations. You owe it to yourself to see if your scenario warrants an SSD. Brian's article will help.
This issue also contains tons of other Linux goodies. We have product announcements, opinion pieces and even fractals. You don't have to be one of the cool kids to enjoy this issue of Linux Journal, but it helps to be one of the smart kids. Thankfully, our readers tend to have that attribute in plentiful supply. We hope you enjoy this issue as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Well, I just accessed my full-disk-encryption password in plain, before decrypting the drive, before typing it.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

One of the most overlooked aspects of the iPhone is its ability to playback uncompressed, CD quality audio. Apple has managed to squeeze even more quality and volume out of the tiny speakers on the newer iPhone3GS. Also, most people are unaware of the 3D positional sound feature incorporated into the original iPhone and what it actually does. This feature allows the developer to simulate moving sounds and have them play anywhere in three-dimensional space around the listener. For example, if a game developer needs to have a jet fly by the left side of the player, they can use the positional sound feature to place it there. Other devices can do this, but Apple makes it a lot easier for the developer.

The Express-Star
NORMAN — The old adage that football is a game of two halves was played out in Norman Saturday night, but the Sooners escaped with a flawless record in their 20-17 win over TCU.
In a game where the offense sometimes didn't show, it was the defense that did the bulk of the work for Oklahoma (5-0), containing a Horned Frogs (2-3) attack that had a few tricks up its sleeve and somehow managed to hold on until the end. A late touchdown by run-and-gun quarterback Trevone Boykin, who ended the game with 18 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, added a few more nerves to the finale, but efficient running when it counted saw this game out for the Sooners.
"If we weren't playing that strong of a defense, it would have been tough," head coach Bob Stoops said. "It shows character. It's still a young season, but it feels great to win close games."
The Oklahoma defense left no doubts they wanted to come out strong. Defensive end Charles Tapper fought his way around the corner early on to sack an under-pressure Trevone Boykin, forcing a punt. But the Horned Frog defense also held firm, and it looked like the first quarter may end in stalemate.
Sooners quarterback Blake Bell stepped up to deliver more. A trademark Belldozer run on fourth and one kept the OU drive going. He was later sacked, but managed another run, this time for eight yards, to get the Sooners back in field goal range. Michael Hunnicutt took the 39 yard field goal to give OU the 3-0 lead with just under three minutes left in the opening frame.
Midway through the second quarter, the Sooner offense opened up a little more. An 11 yard pass to Jalen Saunders was followed up by a Bell run of 12 yards while avoiding three tacklers. The up-tempo drive even included another fourth down conversion before Trey Millard ran eight yards for the touchdown and put Oklahoma up 10-0.
The Sooner defense once again held firm, forcing a punt in time for one last up-tempo drive before halftime. Bell, who had 54 rushing yards by the midway point, stretched his legs in open field for a 15 yard gain to set up another Hunnicutt field goal as the clock expired.
To put in perspective just how totally dominant the Sooner defense was in the first half, the Horned Frogs had six possessions with not a single first down. That was extended to seven in the third quarter, but the eighth time was the charm with Waymon James waking from a quiet night to run eight yards for the first down. It led to TCU's first points of the night with a 25 yard field goal by Jaden Oberkrom.
If that didn't wake up the traveling purple faithful, the ensuing kickoff did. A pooch kick to about the OU 30 yard line careened off a Sooner leg and was pounced on by the TCU coverage team. That set the Horned Frogs up on the 35 yard line.
"It was big," Stoops said. "They put the defense right back out there in positive field position, and then we have a few penalties to get them down there closer. That was it; it put them right back in the game."
A pass interference call got TCU inside the red zone where Boykin did the honors, running two yards for the touchdown to make the score 13-10 at the end of three.
After racking up 200 yards of offense in the first half, Oklahoma only had four in the third, demonstrating a shift in momentum in the third frame. With 11 minutes left in the game, Oklahoma had the ball on their own 13 yard line and an important drive ahead. They managed to get the ball down to the opposition's 44, but the drive stalled there, forcing a punt.
What shaped up to be a comfortable ending turned into a tense affair, with TCU taking over on their own 17 with seven minutes left in the game, down by just three. The Sooner defense held firm to force a punt, and it was down to running back Brennan Clay to make the big difference.
Two plays into that late drive, Clay broke away into open field for a huge 76-yard touchdown to put the Sooners up 20-10 with just three minutes left.
"He's done a great job of taking care of the football," offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said about Clay. "You trust him in critical situations."
The run, Clay's longest in his OU career, seemed to take the wind out of the sails of the Horned Frogs, although Boykin showed agility and pace in the red zone to score the late touchdown and keep it close. Boykin ended the game with 166 passing yards, connecting with seven different receivers.
Bell broke off a big run in the end, bulldozing over a tackler on his way to a first down that sealed the win. Bell ended with 61 yards on the ground while completing 20 of 31 passes.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — NORTH ANDOVER – A sellout crowd was in place for the showdown, but the Merrimack hockey team couldn't get the job done, falling to No. 11 Boston University, 3-1, at Lawler Arena.
Tonight, the Warriors, now 4-4-1, look to get back on track as UConn comes to town with a 7 p.m. faceoff.
Senior John Heffernan was the lone Warrior to score, picking up a power play goal just 14 seconds into the final period after a nice pass from leading scorer, Mike Collins. Kyle Bigos also assisted.
Merrimack held the 35-25 advantage in shots on goal including outshooting the Terriers 13-7 in the final period.
The Terriers got on the board early in the second period as Ahti Oksanen beat Sam Marotta on the blocker side after a great centering pass from Cason Hohmann.
The Boston University lead was extended to 2-0 just over seven minutes later as Wade Megan scored his fifth goal of the season, beating Marotta five hole after a pass off the boards from Matt Grzelcyk.
After Heffernan connected on the first goal for Merrimack, junior Shawn Bates had his tying effort goal disallowed as the referee ruled he kicked the puck into the net, keeping the score 2-1 in favor of the Terriers.
Just over two minutes later the Terriers sealed the game as Evan Rodrigues found the back of the net, making the score 3-1 with seven minutes remaining in the game. Rodrigues took the long rebound off of the point shot and buried the puck behind Marotta.
Merrimack finished the game 1-4 on the power play while the Terriers went 0-3 including only three shots on goal.
Marotta finished the game with 22 saves in the loss while Matt O'Connor improved to 5-0 on the season, making 34 saves.

Update: Fri., Nov. 2:
Donations for Relethford's family are being accepted at U.S. Bank now, through an account set up by family friend Christi Trujillo. You can make your donation to help offset funeral and memorial costs by stopping in to any U.S. Bank location. Just make sure you clearly state you want to donate to the Justin Relethford Memorial Fund.
Update: 11:30 p.m.: Friends of Justin Relethford have set up a memorial page on Facebook.
Update: 4:10 p.m.: Washington State Patrol Trooper Julie Judson confirmed that Wednesday's accident occurred at about 7:55 p.m.
Two pedestrians, one identified as 16-year-old Justin Relethford by the King County Medical Examiner's Office (see 3:45 p.m. update below), were reportedly walking westbound on the westbound shoulder of State Route 410 near Warner when a vehicle that was also headed westbound veered toward them and struck Relethford.

As Hurricane Sandy batters the East Coast, power outages in Northern Virginia have been tame. But Gov. Bob McDonnell urged Virginians Monday to prepare for widespread power outages over the next 24 hours.
"For most of the state, the worst part of the storm is still ahead," McDonnell said during a press briefing in Richmond on Monday. "Prepare now for power outages."
About 57,000 Virginians have been affected so far by the storm, but response has been rapid and only 6,000 residents were without power as of 1:15 p.m.
"We'd be shocked if those numbers don't go up dramatically, especially in Northern Virginia, as the storm approaches," McDonnell said.
"We've been holding our own, but we expect the weather to become a challenge," said Rodney Blevins, vice president of Dominion Distribution Operations.
Dominion has 5,500 crew members responding to outages in Virginia, including 2,600 from other companies, Blevins said. To report a Dominion outage call 1-866-366-4357.
The governor also said approximately 615 members of the National Guard have been deployed to the Hampton Roads area, which has seen major flooding.
Many of those guardsmen will be sent to Northern Virginia to help with the recovery efforts after the worst effects come through late Monday night, McDonnell said. The governor added he has informed Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova of this.
"We're concerned about Northern Virginia, where the wind gusts could be anywhere from 70 miles per hour or more at the peak of the storm," McDonnell said. "It's still a very dangerous weather situation throughout the entire state."
Michael Cline, state coordinator for the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, said no fatalities have been reported in the commonwealth yet.
Restrictions have been taken off of the High Occupancy Vehicle lanes on major roadways, McDonnell said, and approximately 30 secondary roads have been closed statewide, though many are in other parts of the state.
Officials encouraged Virginians to dial 511 for transportation information and concerns.
But McDonnell ultimately urged Virginians to stay off the roads if possible.
"Don't go out," he said, asking residents to use common sense and not get behind the wheel.
McDonnell also asked residents to contribute to the Virginia Disaster Relief Fund.
"Virginians are going to need help," he said in a statement. "That's why I'm asking individual Virginians, and local businesses, to pitch in to voluntarily help one another in the days and weeks ahead ... We will get through this storm and recover from it. And we will do that by working together."

We're in the era of wearable computing, when high-tech wizardry is both productivity tool and fashion statement. Market researcher IDC just announced that smartphones are out-shipping their less powerful mobile cousins for the first time, while Apple is said to be readying a "smart" watch. And Google is now distributing prototypes of its Google Glass computerized eyewear.
Google Glass is a headset that looks more or less like a conventional pair of glasses except a touchpad extends part way around one side. The spoken command "OK Glass" alerts the device to perform functions like taking a photo or even a video, or letting you participate in social gatherings online through Google+ and its Hangouts feature. Audio output feeds to the right ear and you can read email and other text by glancing up at the message display.
It's going to be a while before Google Glass is available for the rest of us, for the Google Glass Explorer Edition is so far circulating only among developers and costs a cool $1,500. But just wait. If you've ever been startled by someone walking down the street talking into space while conversing over a Bluetooth-enabled headset, be aware that you're soon going to be seeing even stranger things when bespectacled Glass users walk by talking to their eyeglasses and, for all we know, snapping a photo or video of whatever's in front of them, perhaps you.
Already making the rounds on the Internet are questions about where you can and cannot wear your Google Glass equipment, as there are some settings where privacy is, let's hope, assumed. Google itself is aware of this issue, with the company's Eric Schmidt saying there are places where usage would be inappropriate. On a broader front, the company is being cautious about 'apps' that may be made for the device. While The New York Times has already released an app that does breaking news updates, apps will all have to be pre-approved by Google.
I can see why because the company is playing with dynamite. Yes, it would be absurdly useful to have quick access to a search engine or a display of maps just by giving a voice command. But let's assume we don't want an app to appear that allows people to send and receive text messages through their eyeglasses while they're driving. The state of West Virginia has gotten ahead of the curve on this issue by debating a bill that prohibits driving while wearing a wearable computer with head-mounted display. Not all concerns about Glass are based on privacy.
We've been facing many of the issues Glass raises as computers have continued to get smaller and become extensions of our network-based lives, but Glass produces a display that only you can see and can be considered in some ways an amplification of your senses. And I think a GPS app, for example, that produced a visual display superimposed upon the actual roads I was driving on would be a useful thing indeed, an instance of the so-called "augmented reality" which allows our devices to tap into knowledge of our location to extract the information we need.
So Glass offers outrageous promise at the same time it poses real questions about safety and privacy that we'll only have begun to address before the product is released to the public next year. I'm going to want to try out the product to see whether the ease of Net access it implies can be delivered without causing me to walk into buildings while I'm searching Google for new column topics. And those etiquette questions? A person born in 1900 would think people walking around talking into thin air were lunatics. We're now going to learn whether we can distinguish between true lunacy and the inspired creativity of Google's designers.

Researchers speculate on the strange case of a missing island on Titan that disappeared from photographs over just a few days.
An icy object causing a commotion in Saturn's rings may give astronomers insight into how Saturn's moons form.
Headlines described the sighting of waves on Titan this week, but it's really still smooth sailing on the impressively deep lakes of the Earth-ish moon.
NASA has released a new image of the superstorm at the top of the ringed planet. Imagine what this thing could do to traffic in Atlanta.
Spanning 20,000 miles and whipping up winds of 200 miles per hour, this massive six-sided storm clustered around the planet's north pole is a sight to behold.
The most recent trove of images sent back by NASA's Cassini spacecraft offers stunning new shots of Saturn and its rings.
Researchers believe diamond rain and hail are present on Jupiter and Saturn, and that future generations could send robots to harvest such precious precipitation.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Oscar Slights, Slip-ups and Oddities
As with any document dump, the details of a thing can sometimes can be found in what is missing.
In the case of the Oscar nominations, that means:
*No love for "The Wrestler." Mickey Rourke was nominated for best actor, but the film failed to get a nomination as best picture nomination, for director Darren Aronofksy, or screenwriter Robert Siegel, a former Madison resident.
*No love for Woody Allen: "Vicky Christina Barcelona" was his funniest and best film in years, but Allen a perennial screenplay nominee, did not get one here. The film's only nomination was for Penelope Cruz previously nominated for "Volver." Allen's film's often result in actress nominations.
*No love for "Rachel Getting Married": Perhaps my favorite film of last year was snubbed, more or less. The only nomination was Anne Hathaway as best actress. Director Jonathan Demme, screenwriter Jenny Lumet, the verite work of cinematographer Declan Quinn, and supporting actress Rosemarie DeWitt, were all ignored.
*That only two nominated documentaries have played in Milwaukee and none of the foreign language films, speaks of the disarray in the independent, art house and foreign film exhibition scene.
*The live action and animated short film nominees will be shown at the Times Cinema, 5906 W. Vliet St., on Feb. 6.
*For only the fifth time since 1944 the five best picture and all five of their directors were nominated.
*They did not make Clint Eastwood's day: The actor-director's tour de force in "Gran Torino," was shut out. But Angelina Jolie was nominated as best actress for "Changeling," which Eastwood directed.
*Power couples: Jolie and Brad Pitt, nominated as best actor in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," join an elite group of couples, married or otherwise, who have earned nominations in the same year. Others that come to mind are Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, nominated for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" (she won, he didn't); Woody Allen and Diane Keaton for "Annie Hall" (both won); and Keaton and Warren Beatty for "Reds" (he won, she didn't).
*Also overlooked were Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, the adult versions of the love struck kids in "Slumdog Millionaire."
*My second favorite performance of last year, Sally Hawkins in Mike Leigh's "Happy Go Lucky," was not nominated, although she won a Golden Globe. However, my favorite performance, by Melissa Leo in "Frozen River," was nominated.
*Except for a nomination for supporting actor Michael Shannon, the much hyped "Revolutionary Road," failed to get nominated as best picture, for best director Sam Mendes, or actor Leonardo DiCaprio. The film's co-star Kate Winslet was nominated as best actress for "The Reader."
*Only two African-Americans received Oscar nominations - Taraji P. Henson, for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and Viola Davis for "Doubt." Weird then that the white actor Robert Downey Jr., was nominated for playing a white man playing a black man in "Tropic Thunder."
*The best performance in "Tropic Thunder," the knuckle dragging gargoyle played by Tom Cruise, was ignored. He was nominated for a Golden Globe.
*Superheroes: "Hellboy II: The Golden Army," "The Dark Knight" and "Iron Man" each received one or more technical nominations, and Heath Ledger was nominated for "The Dark Knight." The action film "Wanted" with Angelina Jolie, also received technical nominations.

Kate Winslet wasn't nominated for Revolutionary Road; she was nominated for The Reader
The majority of the nominations were pretty predictable. Despite its massive success and across the board critical acclaim, I didnt really think The Dark Knight stood a chance against all of the dramas and indies, even thought it more than deserved a best picture nomination as well as a nod for director Chris Nolan. Wall-e being placed in that ever so convenient best animated feature was expected as well. There were a few shockers however. No nominations for Gran Torino?? I expected at the very least that Eastwood would be nominated for his performance and maybe his score. And why no nomination for Springsteen's song, "The Wrestler"? It won the golden globe and should have at LEAST garnered a nomination. Also...why were only three songs nominated this year? Havent there always been 5? And Michael Shannon's nomination really came out of left field. I had no idea that his performance was considered that good, or to be honest...that he was in the movie at all. Im glad "Button" got the attention that it deserved. And its really starting to look like Slumdog is the film to beat this year. It was a very good movie, but I'd hardly call it the best of the year. All in all I think it was a great year for movies...and it will be interesting to see who takes home the statues this year.
Yeah, I overlooked Springsteen. Though the song is a lot like the theme from "Philadelphia." It is weird that there were only three best song nominees I'll have to check that out. And the best picture battle is a choice between two radically different films and styles; the hand held verite sensibility of "Slumdog" and effects driven and big budget "Button." My heart says the former, but my head says the latter will win.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
In the eyes of the pitcher, Tommy John surgery normally marks a significant change in ones career - on any level - whether good or bad.
This week's KAKE Sports Athlete of the Week is a prime example of making the best out of a potentially bad situation.
"When you've played baseball since you were 4 years old and have to take a year off, you don't know what to do with yourself. It's very frustrating," says Kapaun Mt. Carmel junior Ben Lippold.
Early in his sophomore season, Lippold suffered an injury just as he was showing the most promise in his pitching. But the time off may have been a blessing in disguise, in more ways than one.
"There are a lot of other things in life other than baseball. I had to keep my grades up, I worked with my family a lot and kept my friendships up. Also on the diamond, it was my mechanics that caused my injury so I had to work on my mechanics and I changed a lot. I changed a lot as a ball player and changed a lot as a person," Lippold said.
Last Saturday, Lippold closed out the Crusaders' contest against Bishop Carroll in a 3-inning, 3-strikout performance to win 10-9. But as his pitching mojo returned to form, other areas of his game began to falter.
"I've got to start hitting. I've got to. And what's the way to get there other than just getting reps in the cages?" he said.
"I think that once he went through Tommy John surgery, he spent more time concentrating on his mechanics and trying to stay healthy. But he also worked hard in rehabbing, and in the weight room. And he's a lot stronger than he was," his coach Steve Lienhard says of his versatile junior.
Kapuan will take on Bishop Carroll again on Thursday, April 27th at 6:30 pm at Westurban.

UPDATE 12/18/12 @ 10:25 p.m.
CLAY COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The fire at Clay County High School was contained to the corner of a computer lab in the school's career and tech wing, firefighters at the scene say.

How to Set Up and Use Tripwire
Immediately after any system change, be it due to installation, update or removal of software or configuration files, it is mandatory to update the plain-text policy file and regenerate the binary database. Any successive Tripwire check would be meaningless otherwise. Therefore, run this command whenever it's necessary:
tripwire -update-policy -twrfile ↪a_previous_integrity_report.twr
Because it is so critical, this operation requires both your local and site passphrases. When launched in this way, Tripwire detects as violations any changes that happened after the specified integrity check. In such a case, an actual update of the policy, ignoring such violations, is possible only if the user explicitly tells the program to run in low security mode. The corresponding option is -Z low and is explained in detail in the Tripwire man page.
Reading the twfiles and twintro man pages, which contain short and up-to-date overviews of all the files and programs that compose the Tripwire suite, is highly recommended before starting the installation. The actual Tripwire binary, if called with the -help option, lists all the available options. Like many FOSS programs, all the utilities of this package accept both short and long forms of their command-line options.
For example, tripwire -check also can be written as tripwire -m c. The second form is faster when one already knows Tripwire and has to use it interactively, but the explicit command is recommended in scripts, for documentation or didactical purposes. The -v option puts any Tripwire command in verbose mode. Common wisdom also suggests that both the binary and text versions of the Tripwire system files be stored on a separate computer, write-protected floppy disk or USB drive.
Remember that one of the first things a determined cracker will do is to replace just those files with her own copies, to hide any trace of attack. The periodical reports placed by Tripwire in /var/lib/tripwire are in binary, optionally signed format. Consequently, they can't be read straight from the prompt, and they also can't even be processed directly by a shell script for automatic comparison or other purposes. The solution is to use the twprint command, which comes with its own complete man page, as in this example (note that you must pass the binary configuration file for it to work):
twprint --print-report --cfgfile twcfg.enc --twrfile ↪/var/lib/tripwire/report/my_tripwire_report
The digital signatures of each binary file can be checked directly with the siggen utility, which also has its own man page:
/usr/sbin/siggen /etc/tripwire/twcfg.enc --------------------------------------------- Signatures for file: /etc/tripwire/twcfg.enc CRC32 Dmjk1z MD5 DTn311w6Wx3+7TXv7SHPjA SHA D5N1Pv4biCnd14igf/anGM3pvVH HAVAL BEJmfzpcA/Txq5nf9kgsVb
Tripwire Competitors
Tripwire certainly isn't the only IDS solution for GNU/Linux systems. Its more popular competitors are briefly described below. Other similar packages in the same category are listed on a Purdue University Web page (see the on-line Resources).
AIDE: the Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment is proposed as a free software replacement for everything Tripwire does and then some. The integrity database is defined by writing regular expressions in the configuration file. Besides MD5, several other algorithms can be added to verify file the integrity. Today, AIDE already supports sha1, tormd160, tiger, haval and some others.
Tripwire for Servers: this is a proprietary product by Tripwire, Inc., the company created by the original Tripwire developers. It is targeted at centralized monitoring of groups of Linux, UNIX or Windows servers.
Tripwire Enterprise: the flagship product of Tripwire, Inc., is for automated monitoring of mixed networks of up to thousands of servers, desktops, directory servers and network devices. Starting with version 5.2, Tripwire Enterprise includes centralized management through a Web interface, as well as customizable reporting and control.
The Open Source Tripwire Project had been quiescent for some time. Luckily, just a few days before the deadline of this article, version 18.104.22.168 was released on SourceForge, and it is the one you'll likely find packaged for your distribution by the time you read this. Besides the source tarball, it is also possible to download x86 static binaries built on a Gentoo 2005 distribution. There are no remarkable changes in functionality, so everything explained in this article should still apply as is. The other good news is that this is the first release in which the old build system has been replaced by a standard autoconf/configure environment. Unfortunately, due to some gcc 4 compatibility problems on Fedora Core 4, it wasn't possible to test this version in time. However, as soon as this porting is completed, it should be much easier to add new features and package Open Source Tripwire for all modern GNU/Linux distributions. You're welcome to join the effort and report bugs on the developers mailing list (see Resources). Thanks to Paul Herman and Ron Forrester for releasing this new version and the time they spent to answer my questions.

Londonderry man charged in aggravated assaultBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | April 19,2013BRATTLEBORO A 21-year-old Londonderry man pleaded innocent Thursday to charges of aggravated assault on a housemate after he came home Wednesday upset about something his sister had posted on Facebook, according to court records.
Timothy Slade also pleaded innocent to a related charge of simple assault by menacing.
Judge John Wesley released Slade on conditions, including that he not have any contact with Jacob Johnson, 21, the man he allegedly tried to choke, as well as not to harass family members who witnessed the attack.
According to police, Slade grabbed Johnson around the neck and went nose to nose with him, and pushed him into a couch and started attacking him.
Johnson told police that Slade kept on telling him he wanted to fight him, but he refused.
Police said they saw scratches and red marks on Johnsons neck.
According to court records, Slade and Johnson, and other people, including Slades sister and young son, all live with Slades father in South Londonderry.
Slade had been ordered held without bail by another judge Wednesday afternoon after he was arrested at his familys home. At least two family members said that Slade was in a rage when he came home Wednesday, upset about a comment posted on Facebook by his sister Kimberly.
But his anger at his sister later turned to Johnson, according to court records. Slade told police that he was upset with Johnson not doing any work and not contributing any money to the expenses of the household.
Windham County Deputy States Attorney Ashley Harriman said that Slade was ordered by the judge to stay 300 feet away from Johnson and his vehicle. Slade was given permission to return to the home once in order to retrieve some possessions and his vehicle from the home on Thompsonburg Road. Harriman said that Slade will live somewhere else.
Slades father tried to break up the fight, at which point Kimberly Slade called 911 to report a fight.
Terrance Slade told police that he was trying to hold his son down and pull him off Johnson. He told police he didnt know what the argument was about.
But I feel that he needs emotional counseling and help, the father wrote in his affidavit.

'Olympus Has Fallen' Review: Fetishizing a National Nightmare
Gerard Butler plays a secret service agent who must save the president--and the country.
Gerard Butler as Agent Mike Banning in "Olympus Has Fallen."
The 13 minutes it takes for terrorists to decapitate the Washington Monument, rain bullets on the National Mall, blow up Pennsylvania avenue, invade the White House and take the president and his national security team hostage depict a national nightmare in fetish-level violence not often seen in cinema this side of 9/11.
[TAKE THE QUIZ: Should You See 'Spring Breakers'?]
The assault comes not in a climax, but early in "Olympus Has Fallen." So the rest of the film will have to labor to sustain the adrenaline rush, and to rescue its characters (and its audience) from the sense of helplessness such a ghastly attack renders. But "Olympus Has Fallen" keeps the action pumping–not slacking for a second—as the fate of the nation depends on one Achilles-sized warrior.
Eighteen month prior to the attack, a car crash kills the president's wife (Ashley Judd, in a role too insignificant to affect the potential for a Senate run, though that won't stop such speculation), prompting Secret Service Agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) to leave the White House guard for letting it happen under his watch. He now is depressed at his post at Treasury, bored pushing papers and coldly pushing away his wife.
[READ: How Ashley Judd Can Overcome Sexist Hollywood Stigma]
But when terrorists tied to a North Korean paramilitary group subvert every aspect of security at the White House (code name: Olympus) and threaten to assassinate President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) in his own bunker, Banning—with his insider know-how, his outsider status and his devotion to the president—is the only man who can save the day.
From the number of explosions in the trailer (11), you should know already whether or not this is your kind of film. If it's not, you will balk at the start-to-finish violence, the all-too-tidy resolution and, if you are of a particularly culturally sensitive attitude, the dash of Orientalism.
But if pyrotechnics and gun fights and Bruce Willis wannabees are your thing, then "Olympus Has Fallen" is wildly entertaining. The setup moves quickly to give you all the necessary ingredients, and once the action starts it never stops. Gerald Butler is fine as your standard issue, smart-alecky tough guy and Eckhart's President Asher is a valiant victim. Angela Bassett as the secret service director and Melissa Leo as the secretary of defense also put on brave faces in the disaster, though their courage is worthless without Banning's heroics. Morgan Freeman as Speaker of the House Ian Trumbull, who is elevated to the presidency during Asher's capture, radiates the humble righteousness that is expected of any Morgan Freeman character; but Trumbull is never so competent as to steal Banning's thunder.
[PHOTOS: 2013 SXSW Music, Film + Interactive Festival]
While "Olympus Has Fallen" makes it easy to root for the good guys, the bad guys are disappointing straw men. That North Korean propaganda video aside, actual geopolitics plays a limited role in the film. "Olympus Has Fallen" could have worked all the same with any state hostile to America undertaking the attack—North Korea is merely the malice of the moment.
The feasibility of their demands is laughable, and that's to say nothing of the canyon-sized plausibility hole in the attack itself. Particularly discouraging is the reasons a key character says drive him to betray the president: "globalization" and "Wall Street"…seriously, that's all he gives us.
But no matter. You don't watch these kind of films because you care about an enemy. And because the enemy in "Olympus Has Fallen" is so one-dimensional, its hero is all the bigger.

The Forum: Grading The Lakers' Offseason
Is Kobe This Generation's 'Jordan'?
Nick Young, Ryan Kelly sign with L.A.
The Los Angeles Lakers took care of some unfinished business on Monday, officially signing both Nick Young and Ryan Kelly to contract extensions.
The signings were merely a formality, as the team had already reached agreements with both Young and Kelly in the last several weeks while general manager Mitch Kupchak attempted to fill out the roster for next season through free agency.
"When Nick became a free agent in June, I expressed hope that we would be able to bring him back on a contract that was in the best interest of both the Lakers and himself, and I am proud to say we were able to do so," Kupchak said in a statement. "Nick was a bright spot for us last season, and we are happy to retain such a skilled player who is committed to being a part of what we are building as a franchise."
Young signed a four-year, $21.5 million deal with a player option on the fourth year. The Lakers used part of their "room exception" to sign Kelly to a two-year deal worth approximately $3.5 million. The new contracts represent a nice raise for both Young and Kelly who made approximately $1.2 million and $500,000, respectively, while with the Lakers last season.
No Offseason For The Lakers?
Jamal Crawford calls Kobe Bryant 'this generation's Michael Jordan.' Is he right?
Michael Cooper has tongue cancer
ATLANTA -- Atlanta Dream coach Michael Cooper has early-stage tongue cancer and has taken a leave from the WNBA team.
Cooper will have surgery this week at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta, and a full recovery is expected, the Dream said Monday.
The 58-year-old coach is expected to miss about two weeks, with assistant coach Karleen Thompson filling in. Atlanta plays at Minnesota on Tuesday.
"I'm fortunate that my condition was diagnosed early, and this episode illustrates the importance of screening and early detection," Cooper said. "I know the team will be in good hands with Coach Thompson at the helm during my absence, and I look forward to returning to the court soon."
Cooper is in his first season with Atlanta. His team leads the Eastern Conference with a 15-6 record. He coached the East to a 125-124 overtime victory at the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday.
Cooper won five NBA titles as a shooting guard with the Los Angeles Lakers during the "Showtime" era from 1978-90. As a coach, he won two WNBA titles with the Los Angeles Sparks and one NBA Development League championship with Albuquerque.
After his second run with the Sparks, Cooper was hired as the women's coach at USC. He resigned in March after an 11-20 season, his first losing mark in four seasons.
Richard Sherman, Kobe Bryant Homer
Bucks get Kendall Marshall's contract
MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Bucks have been awarded the contract of Kendall Marshall, the second-year guard who was waived last week by the Los Angeles Lakers.
Marshall appeared in 54 games for the Lakers last season, averaging 8.0 points, 8.8 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game. He shot 39.9 percent from 3-point range.
He'll be reunited in Milwaukee with Bucks forward John Henson, his teammate at the University of North Carolina.
Phoenix drafted Marshall with the 13th pick in the 2012 draft.
He was traded to Washington with Marcin Gortat and two other players for Emeka Okafor and a draft pick. The Wizards waived him, and he played seven games in the NBA D-League before the Lakers called him up.
Kobe Bryant is documentary subject
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Kobe Bryant says he's "scared'' about his future after basketball, although he's embracing the challenge of finding something that he can be as passionate about as sports.
Bryant turns 36 next month and is under contract with the Los Angeles Lakers for two more years. He was limited to just six games last season because of two major leg injuries, leaving him with the kind of idle time he never had before in his career.
Bryant gives a peek into his life in a Showtime documentary airing in November. "Kobe Bryant's Muse'' covers much of last season, when Bryant was sidelined and the Lakers finished 27-55, the most losses in club history.
"It's a fascinating time to be around this guy,'' said Gotham Chopra, who directed the film. "There's this sort of looking forward to life after basketball. This is a guy that's asking a lot of questions.''
The unexpected time off last season forced Bryant to think about his post-basketball future.
"I'm afraid, too,'' he said Friday at the summer TV critics' meeting. "You really have to lean on muses and mentors going forward, just as I did as a kid. It's about having that next wave of things, which is scary as hell, but it's fun at the same time.''
Bryant said this film is different than the 2009 ESPN documentary "Kobe Doin' Work,'' which was directed by Spike Lee. The new film includes Magic Johnson and former Lakers coach and current Knicks president Phil Jackson.
"It's more introspective,'' he said. "It's about who or what has inspired me.''
Bryant is credited as an executive producer on the Showtime film, a vanity credit only.
"I'm not even quite sure what it is they do,'' he said.
He arrived 30 minutes late for his session with critics.
Thibs: Boozer good fit with Lakers
Boozer was claimed off waivers by the Lakers on Thursday. The final year of Boozer's deal was amnestied by the Bulls on Tuesday.
"When you look at four years and you win 200 games, he did a terrific job for us," Thibodeau said Friday. "Carlos has had a great career, he did his job here, and we wish him nothing but the best. I think the Lakers, I think that will be a good fit for him. But he did a great job for us."
Boozer averaged 13.7 points and 8.3 rebounds last season for the Bulls.
Pau Gasol: Kobe Bryant understood
Pau Gasol officially said goodbye to 6½ years with the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday as he was welcomed to the Chicago Bulls during his introductory news conference.
But before he could totally turn the page, Gasol reflected on what it was like to bid farewell to one certain former Lakers teammate: Kobe Bryant.
"It was difficult," Gasol told reporters when asked about informing Bryant of his decision to sign with the Bulls. "We have a close friendship. We've been through a lot together, and I'm sure I will miss him. But we talked to each other and our relationship goes beyond basketball and we'll always have a friendship.
"It was difficult to talk to him, but he was very supportive and he understood. He just said I had to do what was best for me and what felt right for me and he was going to support me no matter what. That's what friends and brothers do, and that's what we are."
Xavier Henry, Lakers have 1-year deal
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Lakers have reached an agreement to retain free-agent swingman Xavier Henry, a league source told ESPNLosAngeles.com on Friday.
Henry, 23, will sign a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum, worth $1,063,384, according to the source.
He took to Twitter to announce the news.
Prove em wrong again #LA pic.twitter.com/MsGCjSDxI0
- Xavier Henry (@XavierHenry) July 18, 2014
After being drafted No. 12 in 2010 by Memphis, Henry has played for three teams in his four seasons in the NBA.
The Lakers experimented a bit with their roster last season by bringing in several former lottery picks on one-year deals in hopes of realizing the potential they showed leading up to the draft, and Henry panned out.
He averaged career highs in points (10.0), rebounds (2.7), assists (1.2), steals (1.0) and minutes (21.1) per game -- all while shooting a career-best 41.7 percent from the field in 43 games (making five starts) -- before having his season cut short because of a torn ligament in his left wrist, and a bone bruise and abnormality of the meniscus in his right knee.
Henry underwent a pair of surgeries to correct both injuries, and he rehabbed in Los Angeles with the Lakers' training staff this offseason before being offered the new deal.
