When it comes to DBMS am pretty cool with MySQL, having used it for long (since I started programming though) I haven’t gone for another or tested another yet, so each language I move into I try to see if it incorporates MySQL. Back there in PHP I was pretty cool with it, now in […]
Back there in Windows I have Putty which is cool and works with no issues, but here in Linux I enjoy everything in CLI. I found out some user of Linux distro ain’t actually using it as servers, some use it as their primary OS and work on it which makes them not that good […]
First time I used this tool, I was amazed because it got my root and user password easily (it wasn’t that strong though). About John the Ripper John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix, Windows, DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix […]
Internet is cool but still security matters, if you jump into my network I can monitor your data (webpages you load) but if they are secure i.e. loading to SSL then I can’t read or access those. Now SSH is Secure Shell using SSL for communication between local and online server and we are gonna […]

Webmin is Web-based tool for making System Administration in Linux easier not editing those codes and config files all the time. I am a great fan of this tool because I’ve used it and it helped me alot especially in config files, this tool is also light and doesn’t need much RAM memory to run. […]
If you’ve got a VPS or your own private server, of course you won’t want to use it for a site only, you would want to add more sites because it’s a private server and you do your stuffs the way you want it. Apache offers this which is so easy, hosting multiple websites in […]
For sure Apache is a cool Web Server because of mods being available to tweak to anything you want as long as you provide it’s food which is memory! But the evolving of Nginx seem to start knocking of Apache because it’s less memory consuming and faster, what if your site already run Apache and […]
In the directory your Web Server is serving, you might need some permission on files and directories for security purposes. As www-data is the common user for Web Servers and it has to own a file for it to have access to it, sometimes we don’t create a file or directory with the www-data guy […]
