1. Eztables: Simple Yet Powerful Firewall Configuration for Linux

    Sat 16 November 2013

    I've created and released Eztables on Github. Anyone who ever has a need to setup a firewall on Linux may be interested in this project.

    It doesn't matter if you need to protect a laptop, server or want to setup a network firewall. Eztables supports it all.

    If you're not afraid to touch the command line and edit a text file, you may be quite pleased with Eztables.

    Go check it out!

  2. Script That Shows Smart Values of All Disks'

    Sat 05 October 2013

    Please use this tool on github instead of this ancient script.


    So you have a Linux system with a lot of hard drives. If you want to quickly check on some key SMART values to determine the health of individual disks, you might be interested in this script.

    I wrote a small Python script called 'showsmart' that displays key SMART values for all disks that support SMART. This has been tested on Ubuntu and Debian.

    showsmart

    • REALLOC. = Reallocated Sector Count
    • PENDING = Current Pending Sector
    • CRC ERR. = UDMA CRC ERROR

    This script only requires python and smartctl (smartmontools).

    I hope someone will find it useful.
