Today is the day I shut it down. I shut down my server in order for me to continue packing and prepare for an upcoming move. The video will be uploaded in a few weeks as I do have a few other videos recorded that I would like to upload before signing off.
With that being said for anyone that does follow the channel, I will be back! I have a lot of plans already down on paper that I am looking to do when I get back up and running. I am also going to be doing a lot of upgrades which I will document both here and on YouTube. While YouTube channel is offline, I do plan to post here. Mainly because I will still have my laptop with me and everything else will be in storage for a few months while I get situated in a more permanent situation. The content on the blog for the next few months will strictly be Linux. Within Linux I will either perform administration tasks, hack or even do some scripting with Python.
My current project that I started today was to upgrade a password vault I developed a few months back with Python. The original idea used a hashed value of password input and stored it on a MySQL database. In order to get the plaintext value I had to enter the password to match the two hashes and print to screen. I figured I can make my life even easier with using asymmetric key-pair. The public key will be used to encrypt the password and the private key which will be stored offline will be used to decrypt. This way if I ever do forget the password I can load the private key and get all the passwords. Instead of having to remember the password just to get the hash value. I know there a lot of vaults out there but I like to be unique and learn along the way. Maybe one day I will give bit warden a shot but until then I will do my own thing.
Another project I want to take on soon with the down time is organizing my GitHub. Although it is not crazy yet, I know over time as I continue to contribute it will be. I want to have better naming conventions and folders to ensure later on down the road anyone including myself can find a script or configuration to use. I also have some private repositories that need to be cleaned up which have some older configuration files I used.
Well that will close out todays post. I will be back! As always, Never Stop Learning!
