ret-sync plugin binary for Ghidra 10.3.2

By Lux, on August 22nd, 2023 Generic

I was looking for the updated ret-sync plugin, to keep a debugging session in sync between x64dbg (the debugger) and Ghidra (used as disassembler/decompiler).
Sadly I found that the binary Ghidra plugin is not updated. So I built it for the current Ghidra version, 10.3.2. You can find it here. It was

The Asterisk and FreePBX packages used on the current version of Casa (and on some of my Linux servers) have undergone a major upgrade. They are available in the Lux repository for CentOS 8 (Almalinux 9 is coming soon).

In-place upgrade from CentOS 8 Stream to Almalinux 9

By Lux, on October 21st, 2022 Linux

Today I’m trying to switch a server system (dns, mail, web and other fairly generic services) from CentOS 8 Stream to Alma 9 doing an in-place upgrade. The goal of this activity is not making an upgrade while maintaining business continuity (although if you are in a virtual environment and/or can clone your server, the

Frank 8: SaMBa rpm packages with AD DC support

By Lux, on February 17th, 2021 Linux

I had to upgrade some old CentOS 6 servers with even older SaMBa NT4 DC on it. I went to CentOS 8.
Since AD DC functionality is not included in the C8 rpms, I recompiled the SaMBa rpm packages from Rawhide. All went smooth. I did the upgrade and after some trial/error/google cases (it

Cloning an Atmosphere microSD using basic Linux tools

By Lux, on December 21st, 2020 Generic

This time something completely different!

Cloning my Atmosphere-NX SD with one emuMMC partition on it to a larger one. Obviously with simple, cli linux tools.

First insert the old SD. In my case it is 200GB large. In the log I find:

Atahualpa lives!

By Lux, on September 18th, 2020 Linux

The blog you are reading is (was, until yesterday) based on the popular Wordpress CMS. The theme is Atahualpa. Given my inexpertise in the field, I don’t even know why I chose it about ten years ago. But over time I realized that for me it is a gem.
Unfortunately for some years now,

RP-PPPoE on CentOS 8

By Lux, on September 17th, 2020 Linux

As part of the new implementation of Casa, I needed RP-PPPoE for CentOS 8. As it is no longer, or still, available in Epel, I recompiled the RPM. You can find it in my Lux repo, along with my version of PPP with the network-scripts-ppp package re-enabled. Nice for people like me who

Accessing a Dell DRAC5 from Windows 10

By Lux, on February 10th, 2020 Windows

The DRAC5 is an old remote access card, found on servers such as the PowerEdge 300, 2950, 1950 etc. I have one built in about 2007.
Trying to use it today with modern browsers and JREs will lead to errors, mainly due to added security improvements/checks which have been implemented since then.

Fortunately, there
