Maximal protection against SSH attacks. If your server has to stay with open SSH (Secure Shell) port open to the world

Hi Matt,

Reason is fail2ban could cause you sometimes troubles in case of DoS, where simply filtering the main IPs might work and the article’s goal is to show
the principle fail2ban makes it.

I’ve seen servers where when fail2ban is enabled causes big troubles especially if it is enabled for some non SSH protocol, so if you can do it without fail2ban in my opionion its better.

But yeah you’re right sometimes you just need fail2ban.

Regards,

Georgi

Task     Display a list of all your backups in the current directory.
         Use the detail option to display the last modification date and
         the last access date of each file.

          dsmc q backup -detail "*"

Task     Display a list of files that were backed up from the /home/proj
         directory with file names that begin with proj.

          dsmc q b "/home/proj/proj*"

Task     Display a list of active and inactive backup file versions in
         the /home file system.

          dsmc q b -ina -su=yes /home/

Task     Query file system images from the nas2 NAS file server.

          dsmc query backup -nasnodename=nas2 -class=nas

Query NAS file system images

You can use the query backup command to display information about file
system images backed up for a NAS file server. Tivoli Storage Manager
prompts you for an administrator ID.

Where supported, use the nasnodename option to identify the NAS file
server to query. Place the nasnodename option in your client
system-options file (dsm.sys). The value in the client system-options
file is the default, but this value can be overridden on the command
line.

Use the class option to specify the class of the file space to query. To
display a list of images belonging to a NAS node, use the -class=nas
option.

DSMC Commands

Query Backup

The query backup command displays a list of backup versions of your

files that are stored on the Tivoli Storage Manager, or that are inside

a backup set from the server when the backupsetname option is specified.

The command displays the following file information:

*  File specification

*  File size

*  Backup date

*  Whether the file is active or inactive

*  The management class that is assigned to the file. Only the first 10

   characters of the management class name are displayed.

If you use the detail option with the query backup command, the client

displays the following extra information:

*  Last modification date

*  Last file attributes (inode) change date

*  Compression

*  Encryption type

*  Client-side data deduplication

*  Whether the file is migrated or premigrated. A value of Yes means

   that the file is migrated or premigrated. A value of No means that

   the file is not migrated or premigrated.

What Tinyproxy Does Keep in Memory:

While it doesn’t cache, it does use in-memory buffers to temporarily hold data during transmission (standard for any proxy). This is not caching in the HTTP sense — it's transient and discarded immediately after serving the request.

Hello,

Tinyproxy is caching in the server’s memory, so your statement is incorrect and the swear word doesn’t make it look intelligent.
