    RSA Keys Generator

    That tutorial generates a really weak key though. But yeah you can use it and just generate one with a higher number of bits instead. But in total, this is an issue you can solve by googling once. It takes you 2min to google and at least 2 hours until someone answeres here with a half way...

    Server Hosting Assistance / Help me to figure this out

    I see lots of issues with this idea of offering a hosting service. 1: You seem to have very little experience with virtualizing and handling a complicated infrastructure. How can you provide a stable and secure environment if you don't even know how you will approach the hosting? 2: Where is...

    The LINYE (Linux Is Not Your Enemy) Q&A Thread - Ask away

    Well, Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu are a pain in the ass, like many things are in this field. I eventually gave up. Though I don't really need it, which is why I didn't bother too much. There are basically 3 ways to go with it. 1: You actually manage to always update it in a good way and have it...

    AAC [MyACC] [POSTFIX] [SquirrelMail] Problem with configuring the mail system

    Mailservers like Postfix and Dovecot are a pain in the ass to set up and to maintain. There are always different errors on different servers even if there is technically not much of a difference. They always find something to complain about. Since this is not a OT specific problem, I would...

    Programmer Hacking, coding, OTCV8 bots -- SecurizeMe

    Okay maybe I should have led with this: I honestly don't want to insult you. But when it comes to IT-Sec on this forum, I will criticize mistakes. I'm happy people here start finally looking into the topic a little bit more (even though they are 10 years late....) I do applaud when someone wants...

    Programmer Hacking, coding, OTCV8 bots -- SecurizeMe

    Don't take every criticism as hate. You really need to work on handling that... The reason I want you to do it is not to make my server more secure or find vulnerabilities, it is because I want to see your abilities. This also gives you the opportunity to prove yourself. I don't really mind if...

    Programmer Hacking, coding, OTCV8 bots -- SecurizeMe

    Being a student does definetely not mean that you are a beginner or somehow bad at what you do... It's also about the principle... Besides, you are logging in to your database using the root account from an external ip? First of all you should need root privileges to use the root database...

    Programmer Hacking, coding, OTCV8 bots -- SecurizeMe

    I'm actually really interested in that profile 😂 Looking at your previous postings where you asked (just some examples) - Why your SSL Cert. was shown as invalid (Which obviously shows that you have no idea how those certificates work, really basic stuff btw) - Why you get an error when trying...

    Linux Restarter TFS on crash and reboot

    Since there have been many questions on how to make a restarter, I thought I might just make a quick tutorial on how to write a service in linux. A service always restarts itself when crashed and automatically starts when the server booted. First make a script that automatically restarts tfs...

    Screen ./tfs.sh

    A bash script doesn't execute itself just like that when rebooting the server. You might also want to consider giving the full path of TFS in the script. Now to making a script automatically restarting: First make a script that automatically restarts tfs, here you can get creative (for example...

    TFS 1.2 Memory leek? Linux

    Watch your resources, your RAM, your CPU, your current traffic, etc. One of the reasons why you should also monitor the traffic is the following: A problem might also be that, for some stupid reason, Tibia OTs use the TCP protocol instead of UDP. Generally in games UDP is used because it...

    TFS 1.2 Memory leek? Linux

    The ping doesn't have much to do with a memory leak. You can do some monitoring of your server's resources to find out what the server is doing exactly while this is happening. Errors never happen randomly, they are always triggered by something, you just gotta figure out what it is triggered...

    Attacks on the server

    Also a few basic best practice rules: Disable the root login on your server completely (of course add a new user with sudo privileges before you do so) Disable password login on your server and only allow SSH-Key logins. Close port 3306. You only need access from localhost anyway so no need to...

    AAC HTTPS - SSL problems

    Not all browsers trust the same CAs (Certificate Authorities). That can result in some browsers showing the certificate as untrusted. In my browser your certificate is being trusted. I see your certificate was issued by AVG. You can google if that is a general problem is only happens in rare...

    How to encrypt your website traffic - Free SSL Cert

    Well you could do that. That would be the lazy solution, but definitely not the most reliable one. It is really easy to install your own TLS Cert. So why not do it? Why rely on a third party? Using CF means trusting their every step and there have been huge issues in the past where it was really...

    How to encrypt your website traffic - Free SSL Cert

    A small addition worth mentioning, which I will also use to bump the thread now since it is important after all: Since the GDPR in Europe, you are obligated to encrypt your website traffic if you are transferring any kind of personal data. That includes not just your users name or date of birth...

    [Tutorial] Domain Name, how to connect it

    I'm sorry but if you cannot handle simple stuff like domains and if you don't know how Domains, DNS and resolvers work, you will not be able to administrate a server. Any tutorial can tell you how to do it in general. You just have to use that knowledge on OT.
