I am going to start writing more about some of the stuff that I build in my
|
|
homelab. So with the first post of 2019 here is a post about the latest vm, a
|
|
squid proxy.
|
|
|
|
I use centos 7 as a template for most of the virtual machines I make. I work with centos
|
|
because its the most comfortable for me, and using rpm, yum, and dnf as the package
|
|
managers is straight forward. It really does not make a difference though to me personally. I just
|
|
want to be able to spin vms up quick and I am most familiar with this type
|
|
of os from my days working in system administration at various web hosts.
|
|
|
|
Squid was always something that I wanted to setup but have never done before,
|
|
so I started light and just configured a basic proxy. Here are the links to the
|
|
files so if you want a basic libvirtd based squid setup, this can be used. You
|
|
may have to modify the Vagrantfile slightly if you want to use virtualbox or
|
|
not use a bridge as a second network interface. I leave that to you. Proxy all
|
|
the HTTP connections for science.
|
|
|
|
Also, for a fun bonus read that inspired me to read up and learn more about
|
|
squid in particular is this really interesting write-up by Anthony Ferrara on how he hacked stackoverflow. I won't spoil how he gains admin acces
|
|
That writeup can be read [here](https://blog.ircmaxell.com/2012/11/anatomy-of-attack-how-i-hacked.html).
