According to the Skype forum there’s an open source version of Linux client being developed. It will be a part of larger offering, but don’t communicate much information about it as of now. The version also seems to be limited to an open source UI, which it means that it will help Skype to get adopted in the land of Linux distributions, as well as on other platforms, but the protocol related stuff will remain proprietary.

OpenSSL is quite a complex application, however it is quite easy to get it to show you details or a given x509 SSL certificate using this command:


$ openssl x509 -in filename.crt -noout -text


Where filename corresponds to the X.509 certificate file, which typically would end in .crt, .cert or .pem.

The private key contains a series of numbers. Two of those numbers form the “public key”, the others are part of your “private key”. The “public key” bits are also embedded in your Certificate (we get them from your CSR). To check that the public key in your cert matches the public portion of your private key, you need to view the cert and the key and compare the numbers.

Normally it requires some manual number matching to match a given private key with a given certificate, however with this command you are able to do a comparison automatic:


$ (openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in server.pem | openssl md5 ;\
openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in server.key | openssl md5) | uniq


(If more than one hash is displayed, they don’t match)

This howto demonstrates how to convert an OpenSSL key to a public/private OpenSSH key-pair.

The motivation for converting this is simple — dual use. That is to say, any user or application that has been issued a certificate can now use their SSL-based credentials for both SSL- and SSH-based authentication.

Requirements
You’ll need a valid certificate and private key — actually only the key is required. This recipe assumes that your certificate and key will have the names user-crt.pem and user-key.pem, respectively. If your key is encrypted (which it should be), you’ll also need to have it’s passphrase handy.

You’ll need a shell account on a system that supports OpenSSH logins using public/private key authentication.

Solution
The solution is to extract the public key from the private key using ssh-keygen, copy the new key-pair into place, and test them out.

1. Copy the private SSL key to ~/.ssh/id_ssl.
$ cp user-key.pem ~/.ssh/id_ssl
$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_ssl

2. Extract the public SSH key using ssh-keygen.
$ ssh-keygen -y -f ~/.ssh/id_ssl > ~/.ssh/id_ssl.pub
$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_ssl.pub

3. Add the public key to your authorized_keys
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_ssl.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

4. Test the new key by attempting to SSH to localhost.
$ ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ssl localhost

At this point, you’ll need to enter your passphrase (assuming you had one), and if all goes well, you’ll be sitting at a new shell prompt.

5. Remove the test key from your authorized_keys file.

In theory, a single certificate and key issued to an employee would be sufficient to access all participating SSL- and SSH-based resources in a given environment (or perhaps the entire company).

This post is based on an original recipe by Klayton Monroe.

Finally the Debian Project announced the official release of Debian GNU/Linux version 5.0 (codenamed “Lenny”) after 22 months of development. Debian GNU/Linux is a free operating system which supports a total of twelve processor architectures and includes the KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and LXDE desktop environments. It also features compatibility with the FHS v2.3 and software developed for version 3.2 of the LSB.

Debian GNU/Linux runs on computers ranging from palmtops and handheld systems to supercomputers, and on nearly everything in between. A total of twelve architectures are supported: Sun SPARC (sparc), HP Alpha (alpha), Motorola/IBM PowerPC (powerpc), Intel IA-32 (i386), IA-64 (ia64), HP PA-RISC (hppa), MIPS (mips, mipsel), ARM (arm, armel), IBM S/390 (s390), and AMD64 and Intel EM64T (amd64).

Today I was trying to scan my home network for different kinds vulnerabilities. It is ages since I last did that kind of stuff. It was back in the days where Nessus was version 2.0.

Well, well, I was surprised to found out that Nessus 3.0 was released and as closed source (the biggest surprise). Because of the closed source approach – it wasn’t easy to get it up and running on my Ubuntu 8.04 installation (read: aptitude install nessus3 was not an option), but finally I got it in – and I got signet up for a “home-user license” crap crap.

I then later today found out that a new and interesting project is underway, OpenVAS – it might become the new Nessus.

Dansk hospital flirter med open source-patientjournaler

Efter at have brugt milliarder af kroner på at forsøge at indføre elektroniske patientjournaler på de danske hospitaler, er der stadig ikke en løsning i udsigt. Nu går en afdeling på Bispebjerg hospital nye veje med et amerikansk open source-EPJ, der er klar til brug i januar.
