Top 50 Linux System Administrator Interview Questions



Fox Solutions: Today, the job opportunities for Linux experts are more than ever. The Linux SysAdmin interview questions range from basic Linux questions to networking, DevOps, and MySQL questions. So, one needs to prepare adequately to ensure success in the Linux system administrator interview process. 


According to a report, the open source and Linux job market is full of new opportunities. Due to the increasing adoption of open source technologies by the technology giants (Microsoft says HELLO!), there are ample job opportunities for system administrators and DevOps professionals.
While a huge demand continues to exist, just like any other job in the technology world, SysAdmins have to go through a rigorous hiring process that consists of preparing a professional resume, technical exams, and interview questions. Out of these, cracking a job interview is often the most critical test.
During an interview, a candidate’s personal qualities are also checked and it’s evaluated if he/she is a right fit for the company. Apart from being calm and composed, being well-prepared for an interview is the best thing one can do in order to crack a Linux SysAdmin interview.

Linux Filesystems Explained — EXT2/3/4, XFS, Btrfs, ZFS


 

Fox Solutions: Linux is known for supporting the most filesystems out of all operating systems. There are many retro ones, there are the tried and true, and then there are the next generation filesystems with amazing features. There are so many, in fact, that it can be extremely daunting to the average user.
 
 The first time I installed Ubuntu on my computer, when I was sixteen, I was astonished by the number of filesystems that were available for the system installation. There were so many that I was left overwhelmed and confused. I was worried that if I picked the wrong one my system might run too slow or that it might be more problematic than another. I wanted to know which was the best.
Since then, things have changed quite a bit. Many Linux distributions offer a ‘standard’ filesystem that an installation will default to unless otherwise specified. I think this was a very good move because it assists newcomers in making a decision and being comfortable with it. But, for those that are still unsure of some of the contemporary offerings, we’ll be going through them today.

EXT2/3/4:

Extended Filesystem is by far the most popular filesystem among Linux desktop installations. It has been tried and tested, it is no doubt a solid and stable filesystem. It supports all of the standard features of the Linux kernel like quotas, POSIX attributes, and ACLs, so it still a viable solution for a desktop or server. However, there are no plans to create a new iteration of the EXT4 filesystem. The authors have decided to let it go praising Btrfs as the next defacto for Linux.

XFS:

XFS is the recommended solution for Red Hat Enterprise Linux since release 7. It has a rich history in supercomputing and server use dating back to its introduction in IRIX OS in 1994, which is probably part of why Red Hat is advocating its use. There are, however, some key disadvantages to using XFS. The most notable of the disadvantages is the lack of data checksums or ECC leaving it susceptible to silent data corruption, otherwise known as “bit rot,” making the lack of transparent compression, the ability to shrink a volume, or the inability to snapshot the volume without external tools and freezing I/O the least of your concerns.
Despite these shortcomings, XFS is known for being very stable and very fast due to its optimized parallel I/O, and if you can compensate for the demerits, it makes a very solid solution. But if you’re only running on commodity hardware, I’d recommend something that will ensure your data’s integrity like any of the others on this list.

Btrfs:

Btrfs is the new kid on the block with a cool jacket and fancy shoes. Btrfs really blows away the competition with a repertoire of features. Btrfs is a filesystem that does not need administration once it has been implemented, that is, you should never have to run an fsck on it. Whenever any errors or inconsistencies arise, it should just handle them on its own and be on its way. That’s a very big value for many, especially those that are not technically able enough to unmount the volume and run a full filesystem check.
In addition to not needing human intervention, it also plays the roles of volume manager and RAID controller. That means that you don’t have to rely on three separate facilities to accomplish robust redundant (or performance) storage anymore, which is a large value to even those that are technically inclined. Btrfs is hailed as the next generation filesystem for Linux users, and it’s easy to see why, though, it does not lend itself to all applications equally without first tweaking the defaults, but it’s surely a good choice for a desktop solution.

ZFS:

ZFS is like the very intimidating nemesis of Btrfs, complete with neck beard. While ZFS predates Btrfs by four or five years, conceptually, they share a lot. ZFS has a very strong track record of reliability and robustness. Although, due to conflicting licenses, it cannot be shipped with Linux, something which Canonical is currently challenging with Ubuntu. As of now, in order to run ZFS, you must install software from third party repositories, and having a ZFS root volume can be very tricky or simply impossible with some distributions. While ZFS is a world-class heavyweight in the domain of filesystems, it is likely that it will always be a foreign resident on Linux systems.
These are just the contemporary filesystems, there are many other filesystems that Linux supports that have either died out or faded away into obscurity like ReiserFS. According to Wiki, there are 36 filesystems supported directly by the Linux kernel including those of Windows and OS X and at least a couple dozen more through FUSE.
So, I think the one thing that really hasn’t changed since the first time I installed Ubuntu on my computer is the amount of choice. The amount of choice is daunting, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
What filesystems do fossBytes readers use? Did we miss any big ones? Let us know in the comments below.

All the Terms Of Hacking World You Should Know

Terms Of Hacking World 


Today we will discuss most common terms used in the hacker community. These definitions are a must to a wanna be ethical hacker and helps a lot for a programming enthusiast.

Common Terms Of Hacking World:

1#DDoS: DDoS  means Distributed Denial of Service. This is a type of DOS attack in which multiple compromised systems are used and these systems are often infected with a Trojan. All these infected systems select a target and cause a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

2# VPS: It stands for Virtual private server (VPS) . It is a virtual machine that is sold as a service by an Internet hosting service. A VPS generally runs its own copy of an operating system, and the customers have superuser-level access to that operating system instance, so they can install almost any software that runs on that OS.

3# SE: Social engineering is an attack vector that relies heavily on human interaction and often involves tricking people into breaking normal security procedures.

4# HTTP: The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for  collaborative, distributed, hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the basis of data communication for the World Wide Web. The part  Hypertext is a structured text that makes use of logical links (hyperlinks) between nodes containing text.

5# SSH: Secure Shell( SSH)  is a cryptographic i.e, encrypted network protocol that operates at layer 7 of the OSI Model. It allows remote login and other network services to operate in a secure way over an unsecured network. In simple words, SSH is used to connect with Virtual Private Servers.

6# FTP: The FTP or File Transfer Protocol is a standard network protocol that is used to transfer files between a client and server using a computer network.

7# XSS (CSS): Cross-site scripting or XSS is a type of computer security vulnerability usually found in web applications. This vulnerability allows hackers to inject client-side script into web pages which are viewed by other users.

8# Script Kiddie: A Skiddie or Script Kiddie is an unskilled individual who uses programs or scripts developed by other hackers to attack networks and computer systems even to deface websites.

8# VPN: A Virtual Private Network or VPN helps in extending a private network across a public network, such as Internet. It allows the users to send and receive data across public or shared networks just like their computing devices are directly connected to the private network. Hence this benefit from the security, functionality and management policies of the private network.

10# Nix: Nix is a very powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix based systems that make package management reproducible and reliable. It provides side-by-side installation of multiple versions of a package, atomic upgrades and rollbacks,  easy setup of build environments and multi-user package management.

11# SQL:  Structured Query Language or SQL is a special-purpose programming language designed for managing data contained in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or even for stream processing in a relational data stream management system or RDSMS.

12# FUD: Fully undetectable or FUD in short, can stand for data that had been encrypted, making it appear to be random noise. This term is used in hacker circles to refer something as a clean software to many anti-viruses but still contain some kind  of hacking tool inside it.

13# LOIC/HOIC: The Low Orbit /High Orbit Ion Cannon, often abbreviated to LOIC/HOIC. It is an open source denial-of-service attack and network stress testing application written in BASIC and is designed to attack as many as 256 URLs at a time.

14# Trojan: A Trojan or Trojan horse is a type of malware that disguises itself as a legitimate software. these Trojans can be employed by hackers and cyber-thieves trying to gain access to users’ systems. Users are typically tricked  into loading and executing Trojans on their systems.

15# Botnet: A botnet (also known as a zombie army) is a number of Internet computers that, although their owners are unaware of it, have been set up to forward transmissions (including spam or viruses) to other computers on the Internet.

16# SQL Injection: SQL injection is a famous code injection technique, commonly to attack data-driven applications.In this attack, malicious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution.

17# Root: Root is the Highest permission level on a computer that allows the user to modify anything on the system without a  single restriction.

18# Warez: Warez is copyrighted works distributed without fees or royalties, and may be traded, in general, violation of copyright law. Warez are generally unauthorized releases by organized groups, as opposed to file sharing between friends or large groups of people with similar interest using a darknet. Warez are not usually commercial software counterfeiting.

19# White Hat Hacker: A white hat hacker is a computer security specialist ( ethical hacker ) who breaks into secured systems and networks to test and assess their level of security. These are the good guys in the hacking community and use their skills and knowledge to to improve security by exposing vulnerabilities before a malicious hacker (also known as black hat hackers) detects and exploits them.

20# Black Hat Hacker: A black hat hacker is an individual with very good computer knowledge and with a sole purpose to bypass or breach internet security for malicious reasons. Black hat hackers are also known as dark-side hackers or crackers. These are the guys with whom White hat hackers have to fight all the time.

21# Grey Hat Hacker: The term Grey Hat hacker refers to a computer hacker or computer security expert who sometimes violate laws or typical ethical standards, for personal purposes but don’t have the malicious intentions like a typical black hat hacker.

22# Rootkit: A rootkit is a clandestine computer program designed to provide continued privileged access to a computer while actively hiding its presence. The term rootkit is a connection of the two words “root” and “kit”. This kind of virus can be easily removed by booting the computer in safe mode.

23# Ring0: Very hard to remove and very rare in the wild, these can require you to format, it’s very hard to remove certain ring0 rootkits without safe mode.

24# IP Grabber: IP Grabber is a link that grabs victim’s IP when they visit it the particular web address.

25# Malware: ‘Malware’ is an umbrella term used to refer to a variety of forms of hostile or intrusive software, including computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, scareware, and other malicious programs. It can take the form of executable code, scripts, active content, and other software.

26# Phreak: Phreak is a slang term coined to describe the activity of a culture of people who  experiment with, explore, or study, telecommunication systems. Phreaker, phreak, or phone phreak are names commonly for and by individuals who participate in phreaking.

27# DOX: Doxing or doxxing, is the Internet-based practice of researching and broadcasting personally identifiable information about an individual. The methods employed to acquire this information include searching publicly available databases and social media websites (like Facebook), hacking, and social engineering. It is closely related to internet vigilantism and hacktivism. Doxing may be carried out for various reasons, including to aid law enforcement, business analysis, extortion, coercion, harassment, online shaming and vigilante justice.

28# Worm: A computer worm is a standalone malware computer program that replicates itself in order to spread to other computers. Often, it uses a computer network to spread itself, relying on security failures on the target computer to access it. Unlike a computer virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program.

29# Deface: A website deface is an attack on a site that changes the appearance of the site or a certain web page or technically when a hacker replaces the index file with their own one.

30# Keylogger: Keylogger is a computer program that records every keystroke made by a computer user, especially in order to gain fraudulent access to passwords and other confidential information.

31# RAT: A remote administration tool (RAT) is a piece of software that allows a remote “operator” to control a system as if he has physical access to that system. While desktop sharing and remote administration have many legal uses, “RAT” software is usually associated with criminal or malicious activity.

10 Alternatives of TeamViewer

Ever since TeamViewer got hacked, security experts are warning users to ditch it or face problems. The reason is that TeamViewer is being used as a vector of attack. This has happened on other sites where they had no critical information and within 48 hours everyone’s logged in sessions were logged out, an email went around saying you had to click the link in the email (to verify ownership) and set up two factor auth as they knew they were being targeted. TeamViewer must know they are being targeted, and the stakes are high as the software allows complete access to a trusted machine – it’s basically a master key – and there hasn’t been a single response with teeth from TeamViewer.
However TeamViewer developers say that the fault lies with the users. Therefore it would be wise to search for alternatives to TeamViewer which we give here.
Remote Desktop Access is a great way to manage the files on your desktop as well as any other possible location, and also to help your associates with troubleshooting their problems remotely. In other words, remote desktop is a program or an operating system feature that allows the user to connect to a computer in another location, see that computer’s desktop and interact with it as if it were local.
Also, remote desktops are an excellent way to expedite the deployments for developers. Remote desktop applications are used to remotely configure data centers and are the standard in industrial applications.
While the advantages to remote desktop are too good to be overlooked, the right tools are needed to connect with your friends and family safe and secured. One of the most common and widely used Remote Desktop software is ‘TeamViewer’ and we will be looking at a few alternatives that better this tool.
Why the need for TeamViewer Alternative?
While TeamViewer is a useful tool for getting started on remote desktop, it doesn’t provide the simplicity and dependability expected from such a tool. Security is one primary concern that causes many users to flock away from TeamViewer, if not properly configured. If the average user doesn’t configure the settings on this tool correctly, your system is directly put at risk.
Although the personal license version is for free, TeamViewer charges a heavy fee for the business version. Even though TeamViewer features many useful functionality like file transfers, collaborations and mobile access, there are better TeamViewer alternatives should you decide to do away with it.
Here are the 10 best alternatives to TeamViewer that you can look for your remote desktop activities.

Li-Fi technology: Transfer rate up to 224 Gbps!

What is Li-Fi?

Li-fi is a new way of communication between mobile devices. It is based on the fact that intensity of a light emitted through an LED can be modulated. It can be increased or decreased in such a way which can be used to transfer data. This modulation is performed in such a way that it can’t be seen with a human eye.
Li-Fi technology was introduced by Professor Harald Haas of the University of Edinburgh. He demonstrated this technology in his TED talk in 2011 which has attracted more than 1.7 million viewers.

How does Li-Fi work?

LED are small diodes which emit photons when current is applied. If current is varied, the intensity of LED also varies. Photons are emitted from LED which can be received by a receiver unit. If this beam of photon is modulated, it can be used to send information at the speed of light which can later be demodulated. Because LED are semiconductor devices, this modulation can take place at much higher speed than what a human eye can perceive.
Such LED devices can be fixed in ceiling which will provide us light for daily use and a light fast internet connection as well.

Li-Fi


Features:

Li-Fi provides much better features than Wi-Fi technology.
High speed data transfer
Since light is the medium through which data is being sent, it is the fastest way of data transfer . It is so far measured to be about 100 times faster than some Wi-Fi implementations, reaching speeds of 224 gigabits per second. Parallel data transfer is also possible which makes it even more efficient and faster.
Low cost implementations
If costs lower than Wi-Fi and other radio devices. It uses fewer component to transfer data.
Efficiency and safety
LED are already efficient semiconductor devices and requires very low voltages to operate. Like Wi-Fi it doesn’t spread waves with signals and data everywhere in the environment which can be picked up by other devices and that makes it much more safer.

Conclusion:

Li-Fi will revolutionize the world by providing lightning fast data transfer speeds to a normal users. With this technology it is estimated that you will be able to download more than 20 movies of 1Gb size each in just 1 second. Wow!
