other than the Workstation, VMware ESXi does not has the functionality to “NATting” virtual machines network traffic into a public network.
My approach to implement NAT is a virtual machine with a slimmed-down (Debian) Linux.
These virtual machine has two network interfaces. The first interface is connected to a vSwitch called “Public LAN” with access to the public LAN, the second interface is connected to a vSwitch which has no physical adapter attached to and is called “NAT Network”. On the NAT interface a DHCP server is assigning IP Addresses. Continue reading VMware ESXi: Setting up NAT with a linux virtual machine→
here is a short tutorial to check a webserver with nmap.
Update to the latest version of nmap. Otherwise nmap would not work (Error message:/usr/bin/../share/nmap/scripts/ssl-heartbleed.nse:40: This script requires the tls.lua library….). For example debian wheezy. Add the backport repository “deb http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/debian/ wheezy-backports main” to /etc/apt/sources.list.
a long time ago I wrote a Menu function for quickly choose predefined options in a script. An example
Source the menu.ps1 in your script and call fShowMenu. This will show the menu. The function needs 2 parameters:
Parameter 1: The menu title as string
Parameter 2: A hashtable with the Menuentries. The key of an Menuitem is returned by the function the corresponding value is shown at the menu.
# Source the file
. .\menu.ps1
# Call Menu funtion
fShowMenu "Choose your favorite Band" @{"sl"="Slayer";"me"="Metallica";"ex"="Exodus";"an"="Anthrax"}
sometimes it make sense to change the default ports of an OpenVPN installation, because these are those which are in case of an vulnerability scan attacked first or some company firewall rules makes it necessary.
With the
port 1194
directive in your config file the source and destination port for connections is always 1194.
