Rust Notes: Arrays
An array is a sequence of values, of the same type. A tuple is defined with square brackets []. Array Considerations Arrays live on the stack by default and have a fixed size. Traits are only implemented on an array with a size of 32 or less. Arrays with a size greater than 32 lose...continue reading
Rust Notes: Tuples
A tuple is a sequence of values, which can be of different types. A tuple is defined with circle brackets (). Tuple Considerations The number of elements in a tuple is known as its arity. Traits are only implemented on a tuple with an arity of 12 or less. Tuples with an arity...continue reading
Rust Notes: Chars
A char in Rust represents a single unicode scalar value. A char is defined as a single character within single quotes eg: ('a'). Char Considerations A char is not the same as a single str character. Strings DO NOT use chars internally. A char is always 4-bytes in length. continue reading
Rust Notes: If Conditionals
The if conditional block in Rust behaves similarly to other languages. In Rust, if blocks act as an expression and the resulting branch can be assigned to a variable. The resulting expression of an if branch can be assigned to a variable with the let keyword. If...continue reading
Rust Notes: Booleans
The boolean type in Rust is defined with the bool type annotation and can be either a true or false literal. Boolean Considerations false has a bit battern of 0x00 true has a bit battern of 0x01 Booleans cannot be used in arithmatic unless they are cast to a u8 continue reading
Rust Notes: Integers and Floats
Integers Integers represent whole numbers. Rust has both unsigned integers and signed integers. unsigned integers cannot be negative, and have a higher positive range than signed integers, that can be negative, but have a lower postive range. The following table lists the integer...continue reading
Rust Notes: Functions
Rust is a functional language, it may or may not be shocking to discover that functions are a big part of the language. A function is defined with the fn keyword. fn is pronounced: fun 🥳 // Function with parameters that returns an i32 fn add(i: i32, j: i32) -> i32 // The `main`...continue reading
Rust Notes: Variables
Variables in Rust are defined with the let keyword and values are assigned with the = operator. Constants have a similar syntax except they are defined with the const keyword. Considerations Variables are defined in snake_case by convention. Constants are defined in...continue reading

Go: A Summary
This post has been in my drafts for a while, and its time to finish it off. Over the last couple of years I have been learning Go off and on. It was one of my goals for 2021 to learn Go well and I spent a fair amount of time digging into Go at the first half of this year. I have...continue reading
Proxmox Certificate Error Fix After Node Replacement
Recently, I had to replace one of the nodes in my 3 node Proxmox cluster. Once I replaced it, I found that I had certificate (both HTTP and SSH) errors between the hosts In this post, I will show you how to resolve that issue. The following software was used in this post. Proxmox -...continue reading
Proxmox Provision Guests With Terraform
Recently, I have started using Proxmox as a hypervisor in my home lab. In this post I will show you how to provision Proxmox guest VMs using Terraform. I use this method to deploy about 20 VMs across 3 Proxmox hosts in my home lab. The following software was used in this post. Proxmox...continue reading
Proxmox Hook Script Port Mirror
In a previous post I showed you how to configure a port mirror in Proxmox. In that post, I used a bit of a dirty hack (bash scripts and crontab) to ensure the port mirror is activated if the host or the VM reboots. Luckily for me, I have some really smart colleagues who mentioned ...continue reading

Proxmox Enable Port Mirror
In a couple of previous posts I covered how to configure Open vSwitch and Import Extrahop Appliances on Proxmox. The Extrahop Discovery Appliance (EDA) can ingest network traffic on its capture port for analysis. In my lab, I am hosting the EDA as a VM on a Proxmox host...continue reading

Proxmox Import Extrahop Appliances
In this post I will show you how to import the Extrahop Discovery Appliance (EDA) and the Extrahop Explore Appliance (EXA) into Proxmox. The following software was used as part of this post.
