How to configure a static IP address on Linux

IP addresses on Linux systems are often assigned automatically by Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers. These are referred to as "dynamic addresses" and may change any time the system is rebooted. When a system is a server or will be remotely administered, however, it is generally more convenient for these systems to have static addresses, providing stable and consistent connections with users and applications.Fortunately, the steps required to change a Linux system's IP address from dynamic to static are fairly easy, though they will be a little different depending on the distribution you are using. In this post, we'll look at how this task is managed on both Red Hat (RHEL) and Ubuntu systems.To read this article in full, please click here

While there are substantial discussions and write-ups around the topic of AI-driven analytics, our VP of Blue Planet Solutions & Engineering, Kailem Anderson, made a very important point in one of his recent blog posts—namely, that the term “AI” must avoid becoming a cliché.To read this article in full, please click here

Cryptocurrency miners exploit Docker flaw

According to Imperva research, a container flaw reported last month (CVE-2019-5736) in Docker's remote API has already been taken advantage of by hundreds of attackers.Imperva claims that they were able to locate 3,822 Docker hosts with the remote API (port 2735) publicly exposed. Of these, approximately 400 were accessible, and most of these were running a cryptocurrency miner for a lesser-known form of cryptocurrency called Monero. [ Two-Minute Linux Tips: Learn how to master a host of Linux commands in these 2-minute video tutorials ] Monero (ticker symbol XMR) is an open-source cryptocurrency that was created in April 2014. It focuses on fungibility (individual units are essentially interchangeable), privacy, and decentralization. It also takes advantage of an obfuscated public ledger. That means anyone can broadcast or send transactions, but outside observers cannot tell the source, amount, or destination of the funds.To read this article in full, please click here
