			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this tutorial we will be showing you how to spoof your speedtest.net results. You will require a httpd server to do this, in this tutorial I used lighttpd running on debian.</p>
<p><object classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,115,0' width='500' height='345'><param name='movie' value='http://screenr.com/Content/assets/screenr_1116090935.swf' ></param><param name='flashvars' value='i=66454' ></param><param name='allowFullScreen' value='true' ></param><embed src='http://screenr.com/Content/assets/screenr_1116090935.swf' flashvars='i=66454' allowFullScreen='true' width='500' height='345' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' ></embed></object></p>
<p>To install lighttpd on debian just simply run</p>
<pre class="brush: plain;">apt-get install lighttpd php5-cgi php5-mhash</pre>
<p>and edit your php.ini to change cgi.force_redirect to 0</p>
<pre class="brush: plain;">nano /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini</pre>
<p>Come down and you'll find ;cgi.force_redirect = 1 and change it to cgi.force_redirect = 0<br />
replace your lighttpd.conf</p>
<pre class="brush: plain;">mv /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.bak</pre>
<p>download and move in my lighttpd config</p>
<pre class="brush: plain;">
wget http://tuts4tech.net/files/lighttpd.speed.conf
mv lighttpd.speed.conf /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
</pre>
<p>and then finally restart your httpd</p>
<pre class="brush: plain;">/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart</pre>
<p>To spoof your speedtest.net result you'll need to grab speedtest.net mini you can download this from their website at http://speedtest.net/mini.php or you can just use wget to download it straight onto your server like I did in the tutorial</p>
<pre class="brush: plain;">wget http://files.speedtest.ookla.com/releases/mini.zip</pre>
<p>Extract mini.zip to your html dir, by default this is /var/www</p>
<pre class="brush: plain;">mv mini.zip /var/www;cd /var/www; unzip mini.zip</pre>
<p>Find out the IP address of the speedtest.net server to do this just simply run a speedtest and you will see it say something like Transferring data from host<br />
for me the host was speedtest.airwire.ie and to get the IP address we just ping the host. After finding the IP address you need to add a virtual interface on your httpd server with this IP to do so run the following, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of the speedtest.net server</p>
<pre class="brush: plain;">ifconfig eth0:0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0</pre>
<p>Then lastly we need to add a secondary IP address on your windows workstation so it can access the httpd server to do so go into your network connections right click on your networking interface click on properties select internet protocol version 4 and press properties click advanced and under IP addresses click add. Add an IP address that is in the same range as the speedtest.net server.</p>
<p>You should now be able to go to speedtest.net select the server you spoofed and get high speeds.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all know IPTables can be difficult. By adding the following lines to your ~/.bashrc you can simplify the tasks of blocking packets from a certian ip.</p>
<p>First your going to need to install IPTables:<br />
Gentoo: emerge iptables   (Must be  Root to use/install iptables)<br />
Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install iptables</p>
<p>Then edit your .bashrc file and add the following</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">alias blockedips=&quot;iptables -L&quot;
alias blockip=&quot;iptables -I INPUT -j DROP -s &quot;
alias unblockip=&quot;iptables -D INPUT -j DROP -s &quot;</pre>
<p>Reload your .bashrc by running source .bashrc and you should then be able to run the commands below</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">blockedips - Will Show all Blocked hosts
blockip IP-HERE - Will Block that ip
unblockip IP-HERE - Unblocks that ip</pre>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am going to show you a way that I use to set the local time on my Linux servers. It really isn't that hard either.</p>
<p>First, you should get NTP installed.</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">apt-get install ntp ntpdate</pre>
<p>Next, just in case, make a backup of your already configured time.</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime-backup</pre>
<p>Then we start to go into the process of getting the new local time file. We do this by going to /usr/share/zoneinfo.</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">cd /usr/share/zoneinfo</pre>
<p>Once you reach this folder, there should be a list of folders of different countries. Go to the directory that you are located in. In this case, I am going to choose America.</p>
<p>Once you are in the folder of your country, there should be a bunch of cities that are in your country. Pick the closest city in your timezone. For example, I would choose Chicago. Then run the following command, changing, of course what needs to be changed to fit your needs.</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago /etc/localtime</pre>
<p>Once you execute that command, the local time should be all set! To see the time on the machine, simply type "date" in the command line.</p>
<p>I hope this tutorial can be useful for you!</p>
