Accidental Network Outage? Here’s How You Can Regain Access to Your Google Cloud Windows Instance
By: Avi Keinan
Tags: Featured, Network, DevOps, Google Cloud Platform, Windows

You are performing some kind of configuration on a Google cloud-based Windows server and then it suddenly disconnects from the internet. I’m sure you have already encountered such issues before. This guide will show you how to recover quickly with minimal fuss.

This problem can arise due to errors in network, routing, and VPN client settings, not to mention Windows Firewall configuration issues.

While using Google Cloud (using the console), you can access the instance SAC (Special Administration console) interface via the serial console port. Through SAC, you can initiate and access the command-line interface with administrator privileges to resolve the problem.

The console is similar to a terminal window. The input and output are in text mode. There is also no graphical interface or mouse support.

Keep in mind that you will require the server or domain administrator password for the server to perform the following steps.

Let’s Simulate This Scenario

In order to create a demonstration for this article, I simulated a server that is disconnected from the Internet. I connected to the server and intentionally changed the instance IP address from Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP) to a static setting with the IP 1.2.3.4.

As you can see, the server stopped responding to pings immediately. After a few seconds, the RDP (remote desktop) connection was also lost.
The Work From Home Debate
By: Axon Networks
Tags: Managed Service Provider, Network, Work From Home, Sd Wan, Workfromhome2020

Not long ago, a request for work from home was looked upon with tons of skepticism, doubts, discouragement and a certain judgmental entitlement not only by your manager but even by your colleagues and by the corporate ecosystem. In some of the corporate cultures and countries, this was not a very welcome or encouraged situation.

I think this has totally changed, not necessarily by choice but for survival owing to the Covid 19 pandemic the world over. Increasing number of large organisations are announcing their willingness to allow employees to work from home for perpetuity!

Indeed, work from home has led to some comical and debatable situations as well. The social media is full of incidents where video meetings or news broadcast are bombed by children, parents, partners and inquisitive pets sniffing laptops or making their presence felt in the background by the occasional barks or meows. Some situations are truly hilarious!

The debatable ones are like my son walking to me and my wife the other day and announcing that his boss finds our household full of commotion and questioning his right to judge our home. Other interesting debate I read was about how the privacy of families are invaded while working from home. The author went on to say as to how corporates have rules of conduct while families visit the work places of the employee, when they can come, which areas they can visit or not visit, how loud or feeble they can be while they talk whereas during the work from home regime, the corporates conduct their business with certain amount of entitlement and right to violate the privacy of homes and families.

These are interesting times and industry pandits are already calling this to be the ‘NEW NORMAL’

Work from Home is no more asking the employee to have a laptop, a phone that is working and an acceptable internet connection, it is much more now. A work from home employee has to worry about having a work desk, a private space, enough illumination, safe and healthy seating, isolation while the corporate has to worry about secured network when the employee has to access critical and sensitive applications from the Enterprise resources, inability to monitor the remote employee, inconsistent network performance, quality of service etc.

While there are pros and cons on both sides of the coin here, one side being the corporate and the other side being the employee, these are times which are unique, overwhelming, intense and ever evolving!

While I sit back, observe, learn and feel amused with childlike orientation, I often wonder in the changing times as to how wonderful is the DNA and spirit of corporates and employees not only to survive but look at excellence even during the global pandemic which is threatening the essence of life itself.

Be safe with your loved ones, while I do look forward to connect with you again!

Create a Network Topology Setup in such a way so that System A can ping to two Systems System B and System C but both these systems should not be pinging each other without using any security rule e.g. firewall etc. Sheetal Agarwal Jun 8·3 min read

❗️ Task Description❗️

🔰 14.1 Create a network Topology Setup in such a way so that System A can ping to two Systems System B and System C but both these systems should not be pinging each other without using any security rule e.g. firewall etc.

Step 1: Create 3 systems and the find the IP addresses of the 3 systems.

In my case -

System_A IP=192.168.43.180 System_B IP=192.168.43.159 System_C IP=192.168.43.60

Step 2: First of all change the IP address of the system A and add a Manual IP as 192.168.43.1.

ifconfig enp0s3

ifconfig enp0s3 192.168.43.1/24

Now check the IP address of System_A.

ifconfig enp0s3

Step 3: Now add the Manual IP to the routing table in System_A.

route -n

route add -net 192.168.43.0/30 enp0s3

Step 4: Now add Manual IP to the System_B as 192.168.43.2.

ifconfig enp0s3

ifconfig enp0s3 192.168.43.2/24

Now Check the IP address of System_B.

Step 5: Now add the Manual IP to the routing table in System_B.

route -n

route add -net 192.168.43.0/31 enp0s3

Step 6: Now add the Manual IP to the System_C as 192.168.43.3.

ifconfig enp0s3

ifconfig enp0s3 192.168.43.3/24

Now Check the IP address of System_C.

Step 7: Now add the Manual IP to the routing table in System_C.

route -n

route add -net 192.168.43.0/31 enp0s3

Step 8: Now ping the System_A to System_B and System_C.

Here, we can see that System_A is pinging to both System_B and System_C.

Step 9: Now Ping the System_B to System_A and System_C.

Here, we can see that System_B is pinging to System_A and not pinging to System_C.

Step 10: Now ping the System_C to System_A and System_C to System_B.

Here, we can see that System_C is pinging to System_A and not pinging to System_B.

That’s it. Task Completed !!

TCP session control
By: Geeky Much
Tags: Data Transmission, Tcp, Network

A TCP session consists of 3 stages which make it connection-oriented and reliable protocol:

Session Starting

Data Transmission

Session Ending

Session Starting

Before a web server can attend to the requests made by a client, TCP uses a 3-way handshake to establish a session between the web server and the web client.

STEP 1

The client sends a single SYN packet(synchronize) to the server. The purpose of this is to ask the server if it is available for connecting.

STEP 2

The server sends a single SYN/ACK packet(acknowledge). This step tells the client that the server is available to talk and wants a message.

STEP 3

The client sends a single ACK packet to the server. This step is the client telling the server: “ok, let’s talk”.

Data Transmission

Now that the connection is established, the data can be transmitted. TCP also ensures that the data packets are successfully transmitted and reassembled in the correct order at the receiver side.

Session Ending

There is a 4-step procedure before the session is terminated.

STEP 1

The server sends the client a FIN packet which means “I am done, can you hear me?”

STEP 2

The receiver sends an ACK packet stating “Yes, I can hear you”.

STEP 3

When the client is done downloading the webpage, it sends a FIN packet to the server saying “I am done, can you hear me?”

STEP 4

The server responds with a final ACK, after which the session can be successfully closed.

Hot take on the New York City Council District 26 circus
By: Faustus Trollypop
Tags: City Council, Nyc Politics, Nyccouncil, NYC

Won claims she doesn’t take real estate donations, except received several individual $1,000 donations from real estate. They were refunded, but if you’re genuinely running as a candidate who’s not taking money from real estate, why are they donating that amount of money in the first place? There’s something off about that.

How can somebody who has received more than 20 individual donations of $1,000 — that’s more than any other candidate, even after refunds — claim to be a grassroots candidate?

More than 35% of her donations have come from outside of the city.

Is wifi the most detached perception of the most pressing need of the community?

Between her conflicting real estate stuff, and the way she’s pushing for public-private partnerships, she’s right up there with Young as the candidate most likely to sell us out, but at least Young isn’t pretending to be progressive.

Her responses when she didn’t get the 21 in ’21 or WFP endorsements were petty. Her response to the postering thing was petty. Allegedly, her team put up posters on businesses without going inside to ask first. Maybe her posters were taken down by the businesses because of how obnoxious that is?

She’s positioned herself as the cycling candidate, but the box car she hired for early voting was spotted parked in a cycle lane.

She says she wants to defund the police, but some people somewhere are picking up on her being a pro-cop candidate for some reason.

I can’t guess the outcome of this election, but I know Won has contested it before it’s even happened.
How to Pass Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Certifications
By: Siddharth Jhanji
Tags: Oracle Cloud, Oci Certifications, Oracle Cloud Training, Oracle Certification, Oracle

Now the aim of the game is not to just pass the certification exam but to actually build up your skill in Oracle Cloud.

Below are the list of Courses provided by the Oracle university for free:

Just create an account and you will be able to access the video training for free.

But do remember the training videos are not enough to pass the exam.

Below are the exam preparation guide for each of the certification:

Now for each of the topics in the preparation guide do visit the official Oracle documentation. You will find a lot of questions in the exam on topics which are not covered in the videos of Oracle University training.

Do go through the Oracle Learning YouTube channel for the topics not covered in the Oracle training. As they are normally part of the paid subscription of Oracle University and can be viewed for free on the YouTube channel if you are lucky.

Most Important Part: PRACTICE

Nothing matches as compared to having hands on experience on the cloud. So if you have not worked on Oracle Cloud before, create a free account and practice. The video tutorial contains examples of how to provision and work with each service. So do practice.

Booking the exam: Just follow the steps mentioned in the Oracle university for booking the exam and you will get 100% discount on the final checkout page. The Offer is valid for one time per exam only.

About the Exam: Each exam is normally of about 100 to 120 minutes containing 60 to 66 questions. The passing marks for each exam is 65%.

Essential Tips:

The 100% discount voucher is only valid for one shot on a particular exam. So if you do not pass the exam in the first attempt, you cannot get discount on the same exam again. So ensure you are well prepared before you rush to give the exam. The exams are like any other cloud exams that test your ability on the cloud extensively. So do prepare well. There is no short path to success so work hard and party harder :D

I have currently passed 3 exams and have some more scheduled in the pipeline. Thought to share a brief summary so you can also benefit from the promotional offer and my recent experiences.

Wanchain and Kylin announce strategic partnership
By: Temujin Louie
Tags: Kylin Network, Partnerships, Polkadot, Wanchain, Oracle

Wanchain and Kylin Network are proud to announce a long term strategic partnership aimed at shaping and safeguarding the future of interoperable DeFi. This partnership brings together Wanchain’s industry-leading blockchain interoperability solution with Kylin Network’s innovative cross-chain data services.

Li Ni, Wanchain VP of Business Development and Operations notes:

“We are committed to connecting all the world’s siloed blockchains. The Kylin partnership marks an important step towards this goal and allows us to provide several key partners with competitive Polkadot data services to fuel the development of interoperable DeFi.”

The first phase of the partnership is threefold:

Wanchain and Kylin Network will complete a tokenswap; Kylin Network will launch and operate a Wanchain Storeman node; Wanchain will integrate $KYL into its decentralised cross-chain infrastructure, providing Kylians access to a suite of DeFi applications while they await the launch of the Kylin Network mainnet.

Wanchain and Kylin Network share a vision about the future of blockchain. Both believe that blockchain interoperability is of paramount importance and that without interoperability, the adoption of blockchain as a whole will be stunted. But blockchain interoperability isn’t limited only to the movement of tokens, it also encompasses the flow of data. As the variety and quantity of data sources increases, the need for a wide array of validated data resources also rises. High quality on- and off-chain data empowers Dapp developers to build more advanced decentralised cross-chain applications to power the future of DeFi.

Dylan Dewdney, Kylin Network CEO adds:

“Kylin Network is extremely pleased to offer the opportunity of our low-cost, high throughput oracle services on Kylin as well as working through a partnership that will see co-innovation and development on oracle scripting parameters that will support certain chain, certain contract, certain variable synchronous updates as per Wanchain's needs."

More specifics about this partnership will be shared in the coming weeks and months.

About Kylin Network

Kylin Network aims to build a cross-chain platform powering the data economy on Polkadot. It will be the data infrastructure for the future DeFi and Web 3.0 powered by Polkadot. Kylin Network hopes to provide valid, reliable, secure, cost-effective, and easily-coordinated data sources and data analytics.

About Wanchain

True DeFi is interoperable — Wanchain, the Wide Area Network chain, is the world’s premier decentralised blockchain interoperability solution. Our mission is to drive blockchain adoption through interoperability by building fully decentralised bridges that connect the world’s many siloed blockchain networks. This crosschain infrastructure empowers developers to build truly decentralised crosschain applications to power the future of DeFi.

Currently, this problem is being solved by something called an ‘Oracle’, which is an entity that reads real-world(external) data and feeds it to the blockchain. Current oracle solutions may work short term but are not suitable for long term applications, which is quite essential in decentralized applications

There is a clear need for an oracle that is both fast and secure. Razor Network fills that gap. Razor Network is a blockchain agnostic decentralized oracle network with a focus on maximum game-theoretical security, complete decentralization, and is fully permissionless. Razor achieves this while still being fast and practical for decentralized finance. The goal of the project is to provide a decentralized way to verify and provide data to a blockchain. Since entire economies are being built on blockchain which relies heavily on external data, it is extremely important that the data is provided and aggregated in a decentralized way to avoid many kinds of attacks. Such attacks include: Take over the attack by controlling the majority of the validators, bribing attack, providing invalid or compromised data source, making invalid queries to the oracle, censoring reports of honest validators, etc.

Razor Network tackles the above-mentioned attacks, thus making it more secure than other Defi oracles. It has high economic security, a high degree of decentralization, protects stakeholders from various kinds of attack, Protects clients from malicious stakeholders, has censorship resistance, easy for developers to use, has collusion and bribing attack resistance, is permissionless, offers a high degree of decentralization and economic security. Razor Network uses a sliding court mechanism where any result of the oracle can be disputed iteratively. This can thwart any attack that can happen on the oracle.

Razor Network was developed to tackle the attacks on previous oracles. Its features make it the only oracle with the most secured security system as there has not been any record of an attack on the network since its launch.

Big News: Oracle EBS Premier Support for 12.2 Now Available Until At Least 2032! Mia Urman Apr 25·2 min read

At AuraPlayer, we pride ourselves on making sure the EBS community is always up-to-date with the latest innovations, including updates and product announcements. Today, we are thrilled to let you know that support for your E-Business Suite 12.2 will be extended for at least another decade. It is clear that Oracle is now providing an unwavering commitment to Oracle EBS organizations and their needs so that they can continue to modernize their existing systems. If you are considering modernizing your legacy Oracle system, there is no better time to do it than NOW.

To learn more about the EBS 12.2 Premier Support, you can read the whitepaper here.

This newest announcement is in conjunction with Oracle’s commitment to the continuous innovation of Oracle EBS 12.2 with Oracle’s Applications Unlimited program that helps customers maximize the potential of their Oracle investments by delivering ongoing applications and technology updates without the need for a major upgrade. This is a significant improvement to the stability of existing systems since with E-Business Suite 12.2, Oracle decouples the update of middleware technology from the update of applications functionality. Once running on 12.2, customers can make new application updates while retaining their current version of middleware technology. When there is an update of the middleware technology, they can apply the update while retaining their current applications code level. To read more about Oracle’s continuous innovation policy, check out this Oracle blog post.

RAZOR NETWORK IS VERY DECENTRALIZED AND SECURED

Most Oracles today are centralized systems, which suffer from the problem associated with having a single point of failure. Razor Network is a decentralized Defi oracle network with no centralized bottlenecks. The goal is to create a decentralized oracle that offers maximum game-theoretical security without compromising speed.

The oracle is arguably the most important piece of any Defi application. More importantly, the oracle needs to be fully permissionless to be secure. Oracle is anything that provides external data to a blockchain. There are many attacks on the oracle and if it is not very secure the validators will lose from the attack. Razor network was designed to tackle these attacks by dispute escalation and resolution mechanism. This method solves a trade-off between the speed and security of a fully decentralized system.

Razor Network is truly decentralized and decentralization is an important goal of the network. This is because centralization puts a high amount of power in a small group of entities, which makes a lot of attacks feasible and, jeopardizes the trustworthiness of the protocol. The network encourages decentralization through; a fair and wide distribution of tokens, a permissionless protocol that does not give anyone the power to decide who is allowed to participate or not in the network. Also by relying on the decentralized, censorship-resistant underlying blockchain, assigning queries pseudorandomly to the validators, making collusion and bribing difficult.

Razor’s end-to-end decentralized Oracle network avoids any weakness associated with centralized networks and is secured by a highly efficient Proof of Stake network which punishes misbehaving nodes through a strict Slashing mechanism. This protects the clients from malicious stakeholders who may try to report incorrect or inaccurate data points in order to influence the result. Razor Network also provides security through the disputed resolution mechanism. The dispute resolution system in Razor protects honest stakeholders from selective misinformation and collusion attacks.

With the configuration of the Razor Network, it has proven to have an upper hand over all other Defi oracles. It is truly decentralized and permits anyone to run a node in the network provided they have enough RAZORS, the utility token. The network is recently the most secured oracle as it has recorded no attack since its launch. The network grackles the attacks on previous oracles and the many attacks oracles face, therefore making it very secure.
