Data engineering scenarios

router

widy working ok. would want a backup if keeping widy in place permanently.

Website with database of embedded dev boards: board-db.org

The Banana Pi R2 is designed with built-in switch hardware, so it's intended to be used as a Raspberry Pi for home routers, of sorts. Long term, this would be a good hardware platform.

Short term, need to use jtag to reflash Dropbear

kali live usb

Kali/Persistent USB

  • question: how to persist e.g. keyboard preferences or installed software

kali networking

Network monitoring configuration setup:

Materials:

  • isp-provided router (internet-enabled port)
  • network tap device
  • security onion/network monitoring server on a separate management lan
  • "safe" gateway router for everybody

Set up the tap:

  • port 1 of the tap connects to isp
  • port 2 of the tap connects to safe router gateway, local wifi router
  • port 3 of the tap connects to the network monitor, which is receiving network traffic capture from the tap device

Bro:

  • Logs everything - but how to configure it? how to run it? what is the big picture?
  • How does it fit into the network architecture - is it analyzing the pile of packets that's coming in to the security onion server?

Network monitoring distros:

What this enables:

  • Now, instrumentation is in place to see what arp spoofing, MITM, honeypot, &c. look like

Next steps:

  • Networks: MITM, wifi, evil ap, honeypot
  • metasploit, sslstrip, certificate, frankencert
  • focus on communications and networking
  • pw credentials wall of sheep in a box

dotfiles

dotfiles:

  • jupiter/rojo, maya/cronus, basilisk/morpheus, thing1/thing2
  • lite/vanilla/docker

dotfile submodules/organization:

  • one repo per machine (or machine "class") - debian, mac, kali, raspberry pi
  • organization over convenience - not as much sharing because generally static/fixed

debian deployment:

  • rojo copy dotfile changes over to debian repo
  • rojo apply changes, ensure nothing broken
  • jupiter apply changes, ensure nothing broken

mac deployment:

  • copy dotfiles from debian
  • copy python from debian
  • apply changes, ensure nothing broken

install scripts:

Dotfiles

kali deployment and rpi deployment to be fixed later

kali

Jupiter:

  • 2 TB hard drive (ordered)
  • Debian (100 gb windows)
  • Kali via persistent live usb configured for Jupiter

VPN:

  • Charlesreid1 connection
  • Anonymous layer PIA on dropbear
  • Anonymous browsing notes, Privoxy, &c.
  • Tinc VPN

Instrumentation:

  • netdata
  • network traffic

Networking tools:

netdata

Netdata setup:

  • Install Netdata on jupiter, basilisk, morpheus (eventually, raspberry pis)
  • Netdata running on each, and Netdata instances accessible from on the network
  • Install Prometheus on jupiter
  • Connect Netdata on basilisk and morpheus to Prometheus on jupiter

VPN mesh network:

  • Tinc
  • Working okay on the home network.

Netdata security:

  • Set up vpn via tinc on rojo
  • Set up netdata on rojo
  • Bind netdata to vpn ip address only
  • Verify rojo netdata instance protected
