Some notes on Linux LUKS cracking 8th April 2025A few months ago, I found myself in the unfortunate position that I had to try to recover the password used to encrypt a Linux hard drive. Tonight a few friends of mine asked for details on this effort. I guess it is a good idea to expose the recipe I found to a wider ...

Many PCs with DDR4 RAM have started going cheap on ebay recently. I don’t know how much of that is due to Windows 11 hardware requirements and how much is people replacing DDR4 systems with DDR5 systems. I recently bought a z840 system on ebay, it’s much like the z640 that I recently made my workstation [1] but is d...

I needed this recently, so I took a trip into Ghidra and learned enough to pass it on: If you have an AireOS-based wireless controller (Cisco 2504, vWLC, etc.; basically any of the now-obsolete Cisco WLC series), and you need to pick out the password, you can go look in the XML files in /mnt/application/xml/aaaapiFi...

In May 2021 I bought a ML110 Gen9 to use as a deskside workstation [1]. I started writing this post in April 2022 when it had been my main workstation for almost a year. While this post was in a draft state in Feb 2023 I upgraded it to an 18 core E5-2696 v3 CPU [2]. It’s now March 2025 and I have replaced...

I got a new laptop (a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 12, more on that later) and as always with new pets, it needed a name. My naming scheme is roughly "short japanese words that somehow relate to the machine". The current (other) machines at home are (not all really in use): Thinkpad X1 Carbon G9 - tanso (炭素), means...

I’ve released qmpbackup 0.46 which now utilizes the image fleecing technique for backup. Usually, during backup, Qemu will use a so called copy-before-write filter so that data for new guest writes is sent to the backup target first, the guest write blocks until this operation is finished. If the backup target is fl...

I rebuilt (the top-50 popcon) Debian and Ubuntu packages, on amd and arm64, and compared the results a couple of months ago. Since then the Reproduce.Debian.net effort has been launched. Unlike my small experiment, that effort is a full-scale rebuild with more architectures. Their goal is to reproduce what is publis...

Ghostdrift is a science fiction adventure and the fourth (and possibly final) book of the Finder Chronicles. You should definitely read this series in order and not start here, even though the plot of this book would stand alone. Following The Scavenger Door, in which he made enemies even more dramatically than he h...

Berge Schwebs Bjørlo, aged 40, died on March 4th in an avalanche together with his friend Ulf, while on winter holiday. When writing about someone who recently died, it is common to make lists. Lists of education, of where they worked, on projects they did. But Berge wasn't common. Berge was an outlier. A paradox, e...
