For years, IPv4 was the only proxy type that really mattered for anyone running automation off a Linux box. IPv6 was the protocol everyone said they’d migrate to, but almost nobody actually did. In 2026, that’s finally starting to shift. . The problem is that most admins stick with IPv4 out of habit. They know it; it’s what their tooling defaults to, and they don’t see a reason to change. Some are overpaying for addresses they don’t need. Others would quietly break their scrapers, scripts, or...

Researchers recently identified another wave of malicious packages on PyPI linked to the broader Mini Shai-Hulud campaign, a worm-like supply chain attack that spread through trusted software packages. On the surface, the packages looked no different from thousands of others published to the repository each week. . Instead of trying to break into a target network directly, the attackers hid malicious code inside software that developers were already using. A few downloads are all it takes....

IronWorm steals credentials and uses them to spread beyond the original victim, turning developer access into a supply chain risk. . A new campaign targeting npm has evolved past simple credential theft. Researchers identified IronWorm, a self-spreading threat. It harvests high-value Linux development secrets—SSH keys, cloud tokens, package publishing credentials. One compromised workstation becomes a launchpad for downstream supply chain attacks. This is not a get-in-and-get-out operation....

The romanticized image of the digital nomad – a laptop on a sun-drenched balcony – rarely accounts for the actual friction of maintaining a professional development environment on the move. . The friction is amplified with Linux. We are looking for a setup that respects our kernel configurations, handles volatile network handovers, and maintains a strict security posture without the hand-holding of a consumer-grade OS – so, put simply, more than just a laptop and a sunny deck. The hardware is...

Cron has existed in Unix and Linux environments for decades, handling backups, cleanup scripts, patching jobs, log rotation, monitoring tasks, and other maintenance work that administrators do not want to run manually. Most Linux servers rely on it constantly, which is exactly why attackers continue abusing it for persistence after a system has already been compromised. . Persistence through cron is not complicated. Attackers do not need a rootkit or advanced malware framework to maintain...

PIKT 1.18.0: A Multifunctional Toolkit for Linux Administration

PIKT, Problem Informant/Killer Tool, v1.18.0 has been released. PIKT is a cross-categorical, multi-purpose toolkit to monitor and configure computer systems, organize system security, format documents, assist command-line work, and perform other common systems administration tasks. . PIKT's primary purpose is to report and fix problems, but its flexibility and extendibility evoke many other uses limited only by your imagination. One reviewer said of PIKT, "this is by far one of the most interesting/powerful tools I have seen for Linux administration." Another wrote that PIKT "excels at handling a diverse collection of machines, saves time and eliminates repetition, and gives you a global view of your site." PIKT has been compared favorably to commercial software costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yet PIKT is free! Highlights of the latest release: --piktc_svc can now bind to a specific system port, facilitating PIKT's use in firewalled environments. --Implemented the new piktc -w & -W vieW-file options. --Implemented the new piktc ±E option to set/unset environment variables. --Implemented #unset & #unsetenv directives, and new #set & #setenv variants. --Implemented new #setdef and defines.cfg variants. --Added optional alarm message sorting by syslog level. --Fixed several bugs, added a few minor extensions, and made other code improvements. For further details, see the PIKT News page: PIKT is available for Linux and many other flavors of Unix, including AIX, Digital UNIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, OpenBSD, SCO OpenServer, and Solaris. PIKT is Open Source software distributed under the GNU GPL. To download PIKT, visit the Software page: /pikt/software.html For more info, please visit the PIKT Web site at: Thank you for your time.

PIKT's primary purpose is to report and fix problems, but its flexibility and extendibility evoke ma. problem, informant/killer, released, cross-categorical, multi-p. . LinuxSecurity.com Team
