How to SCP a path with spaces

Posted May 8, 2012 By Landis V

I’ve needed this a few times and been lazy about it.  Finally got around to looking it up.  Quote the path and double-escape the spaces… I’d have never just guessed it, though maybe would have figured it out if I had spent some time reading through the documentation.  Thanks, Nick.  Saved me a huge chunk of time there.

Memory string preceding per-session IPSec keys in an IOS core dump:  00 00 00 00 63 C0 60 0C 63 C0 60 1C 07 D0 00 19 00 00 00 00 63 C0 60 0C 63 C0 60 1C 07 D0 00 19

Exactly 16 bytes after B8 begins the inbound encryption key, which is 24 bytes long. Immediately after the encryption key is the 16 byte authentication key.  Once these are sussed out, they can be used to decode a wireshark capture for troubleshooting purposes.  These keys are not the pre-shared key; they are the derived session key that changes periodically based on time or bytes sent.

Shows how to find the address of the DHCP server that issued your current lease on a Mac.

Similar to ‘show ip dhcp lease’ on Cisco, ‘ipconfig /all’ on Windows, or one of… well, I guess I’m not sure how to tell with dhcpcd  OR dhclient under Linux.  Something else to figure out at some point.

There are a ton of new features in the 15.2 train.   This is another one I’d like to look into further if I can find the time.  Though I do have to say, I’d rather Cisco focus on fixing some bugs for a while over more “neat to have” features, so I can quit spending time on workarounds and have some free time to work on “neat” stuff.

Need to get back into this again as well, now that the network and systems are approaching a state of decent preparation for it.  Couple of good links off of this article.

I’ve been thinking about enrolling in some form of higher education program for several years.  I do have concerns about being able to devote the required time to the program, but I feel that I am in a much more “learning oriented” mindset than I was at age 18.  Not sure whether I would pursue a degree related to my current field; though it would make logical sense, I’ve already assembled a collection of domain experience that serves me well in what I do.  In some ways, I think it would be more logical to pursue other areas of interest where I haven’t had the same level of opportunity to learn it from the inside out.

Top Beers – Popular – BeerAdvocate

Posted April 29, 2012 By Landis V

Of this list, I can safely say I’ve probably sampled a single item – either 13 or 52 from Goose Island, and I can also safely say it was a distinct and unique beer, and very palatable.  The use of the bourbon casks in the aging of the beer allowed a dimension that would otherwise not have been possible.  I look forward to sampling a few more of these, given the opportunity.
