✔️ Getting StartedThe Deepfence Management Console is first installed on a separate system. The Deepfence agents are then installed onto bare-metal servers, Virtual Machines, or Kubernetes clusters where the application workloads are deployed, so that the host systems, or the application workloads, can be scanned for vulnerabilities.

A pictorial depiction of the Deepfence security platform is as follows: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pfIlgUgOn3M/YGvWW2AzGXI/AAAAAAAAVxs/hasGHDhcsW83HLh96-DGhW6eheNKi9MZgCNcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/DF_DeploymentDiagram_New.png Deepfence Management ConsolePre-Requisites for Management ConsoleFeature Requirements CPU: No of cores 4 RAM 16 GB Disk space At-least 120 GB Port range to be opened for receiving data from Deepfence agents 8000 - 8010 Port to be opened for web browsers to be able to communicate with the Management console to view the UI 443 Docker binaries At-least version 18.03 Docker-compose binary Version 1.20.1

res 16 GB RAM 500 nodes 8 cores 32 GB RAM 1000 nodes 16 cores 32 GB RAM 1400-1500 nodes
In order to support higher numbers of nodes (i.e. hosts as number of containers can be unlimited theoretically based on their life times) ThreatMapper needs to be deployed as a 3 node k8s cluster to scale up to 10000 nodes, instructions to follow. Installation of Deepfence Management ConsoleInstalling the Management Console is as easy as:

1. Download the file docker-compose.yml to the desired system.
2. Execute the following command docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d3. Open management console ip address / domain in the browser (https://x.x.x.x) and register a new account. Steps: Register a User
4. Get Deepfence api key from UI: Goto Settings-> User Management, copy api key. In the following docker run command, replace C8TtyEtNB0gBo1wGhpeAZICNSAaGWw71BSdS2kLELY0with api Key. Steps: Deepfence API Key docker run -dit --cpus=".2" --name=deepfence-agent --restart on-failure --pid=host --net=host --privileged=true -v /sys/kernel/debug:/sys/kernel/debug:rw -v /var/log/fenced -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /:/fenced/mnt/host/:ro -e USER_DEFINED_TAGS="" -e DF_BACKEND_IP="127.0.0.1" -e DEEPFENCE_KEY="C8TtyEtNB0gBo1wGhpeAZICNSAaGWw71BSdS2kLELY0" deepfenceio/deepfence_agent_ce:latestThis is the minimal installation required to quickly get started on scanning various container images. The necessary images may now be downloaded onto this Management Console and scanned for vulnerabilities. Terraform* Terraform module to provision Deepfence ThreatMapper on GCP Compute Engine Installation with custom TLS certificatesCustom TLS certificates are supported for the web application hosted on the console machine. On the console machine users have to place the certificate and private key on /etc/deepfence/certs folder. Deepfence looks for the file with .key and .crt extentions on the specified location on the host. Deepfence AgentIn order to check a host for vulnerabilities, or if docker images or containers that have to be checked for vulnerabilities are saved on different hosts, then the Deepfence agent needs to be installed on those hosts. Pre-Requisites for Deepfence AgentFeature Requirements CPU: No of cores 2 RAM 1 GB Disk space At-least 30 GB Connectivity The host on which the Deepfence Agent is to be installed, is able to communicate with the Management Console on port range 8000-8010. Linux kernel version >= 4.4 Docker binaries At-least version 18.03 Deepfence Management Console Installed on a host with IP Address x.x.x.xInstallation of Deepfence AgentInstallation procedure for the Deepfence agent depends on the environment that is being used. Instructions for installing Deepfence agent on some of the common platforms are given in detail below: Deepfence Agent on Standalone VM or HostInstalling the Deepfence Agent is now as easy as:

1. Get Deepfence api key from UI: Goto Settings-> User Management, copy api key
2. In the following docker run command, replace x.x.x.xwith the IP address of the Management Console and replace C8TtyEtNB0gBo1wGhpeAZICNSAaGWw71BSdS2kLELY0with api Key docker run -dit --cpus=".2" --name=deepfence-agent --restart on-failure --pid=host --net=host --privileged=true -v /sys/kernel/debug:/sys/kernel/debug:rw -v /var/log/fenced -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /:/fenced/mnt/host/:ro -e USER_DEFINED_TAGS="" -e DF_BACKEND_IP="x.x.x.x" -e DEEPFENCE_KEY="C8TtyEtNB0gBo1wGhpeAZICNSAaGWw71BSdS2kLELY0" deepfenceio/deepfence_agent_ce:latest3.

hacking: security in practice
From web applications to games.

Are there any communities or forums specifically directed at game hacking that you recommend? My natural curiosity for hacking has lead me towards what seems to mainly be web related hacking and knowledge, but I'm more interested in deconstructing games. I should say that I'm a complete beginner and I'm curious what sort of base knowledge would be expected from somebody wishing to deconstruct modern games. Game development and coding seems to be such a vast sea, but I wish to have a clear goal and study something that might lay the ground floor for such a curiosity.

What would you consider invaluable to know before tinkering with games, and is there anything particularily transferable from web based hacking?

I should say that what sparked my curiosity for game hacking was hearing about buffer overflow, the practice of sending packets to the game client to break the games limits. I imagine that these things are tougher to do today, and I would like to know what steps are put in place to prevent such practices and how.

I know I'm a bit all over the place, but hopefully I made some sense. I'm entirely green on most of these things, I just need a nudge towards the right direction.

Let me add a hypothetical that might clarify what I mean. Say I download and set up a custom server in an open source mmorpg like Boundel, just as an example. If I wanted to deconstruct the game, by stripping it down and experimenting with the game. What sort of knowledge would most likely help me out in this task? Knowledge that would stand independent despite things like what engine the game runs on, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Use a Verifone terminal's printer

Hi, I have a Verifone VX690 terminal that should've been picked up when my contract ended but it didn't. So I have a useless brick and I figured the printer could be useful.

​

The terminal seems to run on a OS called "Verix", and tinkering around with some menus I found that it does have a "download" option, which I assume could be used to install firmware.

​

So, does anyone know if there is some kind of modded version of Verix that'll allow me to use the printer with a USB connection? I know it *might* be possible, because a local McDonald's uses the same terminal but with what seems to be a custom-made OS.

​

Also sorry if this doesn't fit the sub, feel free to delete the post.
