Picked up an interesting new scanner with a (possible troll) UA: "apache 0day by @hxmonsegur" coming from 185.130.5.224. Update: So far I've tested the 'exploit' against my Apache installation - doesn't appear to be doing anything. Update: Confirmed, it's fake.

CentOS 7.2 is out, but took a day or two before it turned up on local mirror. Good thing I mirror everything, mass-updates of multi-VMs in progress. While I'm there, I'd upgrade Wordpress, and any other CMS's around. Busy day!

Just a MAJOR warning that if you are running any servers with Xen-hypervisor. DO NOT UPGRADE to FC-22!! There is a bug with GCC 5 that the package is compiled with and when installed will FAIL TO BOOT. This will result in any server you run Xen on to NOT…

CentOS7 is out, with shiny new features of LXC, and stuff.. but the one feature that stands out is "in place upgrade". Guess what? it's hidden inside a RHEL page that requires registration. So much for 'useful'. So far: * CentOS 7 installs on XenServer 6.2, but fails to boot…
