Linux On Windows Server: Linux Admin Scripts Will Now Run On Windows

Last week, at its developer conference Build 2017, Microsoft announced that it’s bringing Windows Subsystem for Linux to Windows Server. Apart from this, Windows Server will also be joining Windows Insider program. The other new features of Windows Server will be aligned with the next release of Windows 10.

I am pleased to share that we are also bringing the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), commonly known as Bash on Windows, to Windows Server. This unique combination allows developer and application administrators to use the same scripts, tools, procedures and container images they have been using for Linux containers on their Windows Server container host. These containers use our Hyper-V isolation technology combined with your choice of Linux kernel to host the workload while the management scripts and tools on the host use WSL.

Headlines

FreeBSD quarterly status report

  • The FreeBSD team has posted an updated on some of their activities between October and December of 2014
  • They put a big focus on compatibility with other systems: the Linux emulation layer, bhyve, WINE and Xen all got some nice improvements
  • As always, the report has lots of updates from the various teams working on different parts of the OS and ports infrastructure
  • The release engineering team got 10.1 out the door, the ports team shuffled a few members in and out and continued working on closing more PRs
  • FreeBSD’s forums underwent a huge change, and discussion about the new support model for release cycles continues (hopefully taking effect after 11.0 is released)
  • Git was promoted from beta to an officially-supported version control system (Kris is happy)
  • The core team is also assembling a new QA team to ensure better code quality in critical areas, such as security and release engineering, after getting a number of complaints
  • Other notable entries include: lots of bhyve fixes, Clang/LLVM being updated to 3.5.0, ongoing work to the external toolchain, adding FreeBSD support to more “cloud” services, pkgng updates, work on SecureBoot, more ARM support and graphics stack improvements
  • Check out the full report for all the details that we didn’t cover

OpenBSD package signature audit

  • “Linux Audit” is a website focused on auditing and hardening systems, as well as educating people about securing their boxes
  • They recently did an article about OpenBSD, specifically their ports and package system and signing infrastructure
  • The author gives a little background on the difference between ports and binary packages, then goes through the technical details of how releases and packages are cryptographically signed
  • Package signature formats and public key distribution methods are also touched on
  • After some heckling, the author of the post said he plans to write more BSD security articles, so look forward to them in the future
  • If you haven’t seen our episode about signify with Ted Unangst, that would be a great one to check out after reading this

Replacing a Linux router with BSD

  • There was recently a Slashdot discussion about migrating a Linux-based router to a BSD-based one
  • The poster begins with “I’m in the camp that doesn’t trust systemd. You can discuss the technical merits of all init solutions all you want, but if I wanted to run Windows NT I’d run Windows NT, not Linux. So I’ve decided to migrate my homebrew router/firewall/samba server to one of the BSDs.”
  • A lot of people were quick to recommend OPNsense and pfSense, being that they’re very easy to administer (requiring basically no BSD knowledge at all)
  • Other commenters suggested a more hands-on approach, setting one up yourself with FreeBSD or OpenBSD
  • If you’ve been thinking about moving some routers over from Linux or other commercial solution, this might be a good discussion to read through
  • Unfortunately, a lot of the comments are just Linux users bickering about systemd, so you’ll have to wade through some of that to get to the good information

LibreSSL in FreeBSD and OPNsense

  • A FreeBSD sysadmin has started documenting his experience replacing OpenSSL in the base system with the one from ports (and also experimenting with LibreSSL)
  • The reasoning being that updates in base tend to lag behind, whereas the port can be updated for security very quickly
  • OPNsense developers are looking into switching away from OpenSSL to LibreSSL’s portable version, for both their ports and base system, which would be a pretty huge differentiator for their project
  • Some ports still need fixing to be compatible though, particularly a few python-related ones
  • If you’re a FreeBSD ports person, get involved and help squash some of the last remaining bugs
  • A lot of the work has already been done in OpenBSD’s ports tree – some patches just need to be adopted
  • More and more upstream projects are incorporating LibreSSL patches in their code – let your favorite software vendor know that you’re using it

Pipecut, text processing, commandline wizardry


News Roundup

Jetpack, a new jail container system

  • A new project was launched to adapt FreeBSD jails to the “app container specification”
  • While still pretty experimental in terms of the development phase, this might be something to show your Linux friends who are in love with docker
  • It’s a similar project to iocage or bsdploy, which we haven’t talked a whole lot about
  • There was also some discussion about it on Hacker News

Separating base and package binaries

  • All of the main BSDs make a strong separation between the base system and third party software
  • This is in contrast to Linux where there’s no real concept of a “base system” – more recently, some distros have even merged all the binaries into a single directory
  • A user asks the community about the BSD way of doing it, trying to find out the advantages and disadvantages of both hierarchies
  • Read the comments for the full explanation, but having things separated really helps keep things organized

Updated i915kms driver for FreeBSD

  • This update brings the FreeBSD code closer inline with the Linux code, to make it easier to update going forward
  • This update does not introduce Haswell support just yet, but was required before the Haswell bits can be added

Year of the OpenBSD desktop

  • Here we have an article about using OpenBSD as a daily driver for regular desktop usage
  • The author says he “ran fifty thousand different distributions, never being satisfied”
  • After dealing with the problems of Linux and fragmentation, he eventually gave up and bought a Macbook
  • He also used FreeBSD between versions 7 and 9, finding a “a mostly harmonious environment,” but regressions lead him to give up on desktop *nix once again
  • Starting with 2015, he’s back and is using OpenBSD on a Thinkpad x201
  • The rest of the article covers some of his configuration tweaks and gives an overall conclusion on his current setup
  • He apparently used our desktop tutorial – thanks for watching!

Unattended FreeBSD installation

  • A new BSD user was looking to get some more experience, so he documented how to install FreeBSD over PXE
  • His goal was to have a setup similar to Redhat’s “kickstart” or OpenBSD’s autoinstall
  • The article shows you how to set up DHCP and TFTP, with no NFS share setup required
  • He also gives a mention to mfsbsd, showing how you can customize its startup script to do most of the work for you

Headlines

PIE and ASLR in FreeBSD update

  • A status update for Shawn Webb’s ASLR and PIE work for FreeBSD
  • One major part of the code, position-independent executable support, has finally been merged into the -CURRENT tree
  • “FreeBSD has supported loading PIEs for a while now, but the applications in base weren’t compiled as PIEs. Given that ASLR is useless without PIE, getting base compiled with PIE support is a mandatory first step in proper ASLR support”
  • If you’re running -CURRENT, just add “WITH_PIE=1” to your /etc/src.conf and /etc/make.conf
  • The next step is working on the ASLR coding style and getting more developers to look through it
  • Shawn will also be at EuroBSDCon (in September) giving an updated version of his BSDCan talk about ASLR

Misc. pfSense news

  • Couple of pfSense news items this week, including some hardware news
  • Someone’s gotta test the pfSense hardware devices before they’re sold, which involves powering them all on at least once
  • To make that process faster, they’re building a controllable power board (and include some cool pics)
  • There will be more info on that device a bit later on
  • On Friday, June 27th, there will be another video session (for paying customers only…) about virtualized firewalls
  • pfSense University, a new paid training course, was also announced
  • A single two-day class costs $2000, ouch

ZFS stripe width

  • A new blog post from Matt Ahrens about ZFS stripe width
  • “The popularity of OpenZFS has spawned a great community of users, sysadmins, architects and developers, contributing a wealth of advice, tips and tricks, and rules of thumb on how to configure ZFS. In general, this is a great aspect of the ZFS community, but I’d like to take the opportunity to address one piece of misinformed advice”
  • Matt goes through different situations where you would set up your zpool differently, each with their own advantages and disadvantages
  • He covers best performance on random IOPS, best reliability, and best space efficiency use cases
  • It includes a lot of detail on each one, including graphs, and addresses some misconceptions about different RAID-Z levels’ overhead factor

FreeBSD 9.3-BETA3 released

  • The third BETA in the 9.3 release cycle is out, we’re slowly getting closer to the release
  • This is expected to be the final BETA, next will come the RCs
  • There have mostly just been small bug fixes since BETA2, but OpenSSL was also updated and the arc4random code was updated to match what’s in -CURRENT (but still isn’t using ChaCha20)
  • The FreeBSD foundation has a blog post about it too
  • There’s a list of changes between 9.2 and 9.3 as well, but we’ll be sure to cover it when the -RELEASE hits

News Roundup

My FreeBSD adventure

  • A Slackware user from the “linux questions” forum decides to try out BSD, and documents his initial impressions and findings
  • After ruling out PCBSD due to the demanding hardware requirements and NetBSD due to “politics” (whatever that means, his words) he decides to start off with FreeBSD 10, but also mentions trying OpenBSD later on
  • In his forum post, he covers the documentation (and how easy it makes it for a switcher), dual booting, packages vs ports, network configuration and some other little things
  • So far, he seems to really enjoy BSD and thinks that it makes a lot of sense compared to Linux
  • Might be an interesting, ongoing series we can follow up on later

Even more BSDCan trip reports

  • BSDCan may be over until next year, but trip reports are still pouring in
  • This time we have a summary from Li-Wen Hsu, who was paid for by the FreeBSD foundation
  • He’s part of the “Jenkins CI for FreeBSD” group and went to BSDCan mostly for that
  • Nice long post about all of his experiences at the event, definitely worth a read
  • He even talks about… the food

FreeBSD disk partitioning

  • For his latest book series on FreeBSD’s GEOM system, MWL asked the hackers mailing list for some clarification
  • This erupted into a very long discussion about fdisk vs gnop vs gpart
  • So you don’t have to read the tons of mailing list posts, he’s summarized the findings in a blog post
  • It covers MBR vs GPT, disk sector sizes and how to handle all of them with which tools

BSD Router Project version 1.51

  • A new version of the BSD Router Project has been released, 1.51
  • It’s now based on FreeBSD 10-STABLE instead of 10.0-RELEASE
  • Includes lots of bugfixes and small updates, as well as some patches from pfSense and elsewhere
  • Check the sourceforge page for the complete list of changes
  • The minimum disk size requirement has increased to 512MB

Feedback/Questions


  • All the tutorials are posted in their entirety at bsdnow.tv

Headlines

FreeBSD 10 as a firewall

  • Back in 2012, the author of this site wrote an article stating you should avoid FreeBSD 9 for a firewall and use OpenBSD instead
  • Now, with the release of 10.0, he\’s apparently changed his mind and switched back over
  • It mentions the SMP version of pf, general performance advantages and more modern features
  • The author is a regular listener of BSD Now, hi Joe!

Network Noise Reduction Using Free Tools

  • Really long blog post, based on a BSDCan presentation, about fighting spam with OpenBSD
  • Peter Hansteen, author of the book of PF, goes through how he uses OpenBSD\’s spamd and other security features to combat spam and malware
  • He goes through his experiences with content filtering and disappointment with a certain proprietary vendor
  • Not totally BSD-specific, lots of people can enjoy the article – lots of virus history as well

FreeBSD ASLR patches submitted

  • So far, FreeBSD hasn\’t had Address Space Layout Randomization
  • ASLR is a nice security feature, see wikipedia for more information
  • With a giant patch from Shawn Webb, it might be integrated into a future version (after a vicious review from the security team of course)
  • We might have Shawn on the show to talk about it, but he\’s also giving a presentation at BSDCan about his work with ASLR

Old-style pkg_ tools retired

  • At last the old pkg_add tools are being retired in FreeBSD
  • pkgng is a huge improvement, and now portmgr@ thinks it\’s time to cut the cord on the legacy toolset
  • Ports aren\’t going away, and probably never will, but for binary package fans and new users that are used to things like apt, pkgng is the way to go
  • All pkg_ tools will be considered unsupported on September 1, 2014 – even on older branches

FreeBSD on OpenStack

  • OpenStack is a cloud computing project
  • It consists of \”a series of interrelated projects that control pools of processing, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, able to be managed or provisioned through a web-based dashboard, command-line tools, or a RESTful API.\”
  • Until now, there wasn\’t a good way to run a full BSD instance on OpenStack

Hating on Gnome is the popular thing to do, and it’s fantastic link bait. We’ll come to the defense of this bold shell, and why 2014 could be big year for Gnome.

Plus: We’ll breakdown the major security issues plaguing X, the UK “porn” filter that’s blocking Fedora downloads, a little Enlightenment 18 talk…

AND SO MUCH MORE!

All this week on, The Linux Action Show!

In Defense of Gnome 3:


System76

Brought to you by: System76


– Chris’ Full Disclosure –

  • The majority of my work week recently has been spent in KDE.
  • Chris’ desktop
  • The future for Qt looks bright, and like most geeks, I want to ride the wave and try to live in the future.
  • Gnome Extensions concern me in the long run. Some important functionality for me in Gnome 3 is provided via extensions. The long term viability of that is quesentonalbe.
  • Every time an extension works, it feels like a tiny and temporary merical.

– Summation of Common Gnome 3 Complaints –


– Gnome Developers Step Into the Spotlight –

William Jon McCann, Files developer:

Someone smart once said “Linux is just a kernel”. I couldn’t agree more. But in this age, it is going to take more than adding on a few tools to make a compelling operating system. It is going to take thinking seriously about the end result and making hard decisions to get there. A result that I believe the world needs more now than ever. A real choice for freedom. A choice for everyone. Time to step out of the dark ages. We, the technological elite, have been holding on to freedom too long. Effectively preventing others from enjoying it. Perpetuated by hostile dogma like the “unix way”. We need to be clear. Those days are over. And it is time to share.

Sri Ramkrishna, Tizen dev, long time Gnome Contributor:

Changes to Nautilus have been met with universal unhappiness – the changes that have been made have made a lot of people unhappy. There just hasn’t been anybody I’ve met both who are fans of GNOME 3 and critics alike who like what the current nautilus have become. People have either been silent or have encouraged the use of the 3.6 fork of Nautilus.

People have really been down on GNOME designers. While they have made some great community outreach, specifically Allen Day and Jakub Steiner have always been available to talk about their designs. Regardless, there is always this sense that whatever feedback is given will be ignored that everything is inevitable.

It’s very important that we are up front on regressions. The gnome-terminal incident is a good example of this. There is no doubt that transparency is a popular feature in terminals.

I will ask module maintainers to be upfront to the release team when there is a significant regression like this. In turn, release team needs to tell the engagement team as well so that we are also ready to talk about it when it comes up.

The conclusion is, we are creating a product. But we need to act like we are creating a product. That will require closer teamwork between the various teams that we have before. I’ll talk about this in another post. But we don’t have everything set up for that. We have gaps, and they should be addressed.

Ilja van Sprundel, Professional Pen Tester

  • Talk at 30th Chaos Communication Congress [30c3]

  • Spent a year researching X.org code and bugs.

  • Found trivial memory corruption bugs with many opportunities to insert random/malicious data.

  • Very awesome response from xsecuirty@xorg developer, 80 of the bugs fixed asap. He was very responsive and worked super hard.

  • Some of these bugs exist because hard drives were so tiny when X was created, they never thought about some of the interesting ways folks could load/inject data into memory.

  • LWN comment from OG X dev: https://youtu.be/2l7ixRE3OCw?t=11m29s – 12:41

  • X Client Summary: https://youtu.be/2l7ixRE3OCw?t=25m57s

  • One major issue on the X client side is so many X apps run with setuid to root. Making it trivial for a client side X application to abuse X flaws.

  • SUID (Set owner User ID up on execution) is a special type of file permissions given to a file.

  • Normally in Linux/Unix when a program runs, it inherits access permissions from the logged in user. SUID is defined as giving temporary permissions to a user to run a program/file with the permissions of the file owner rather that the user who runs it.

  • Users will get file owner’s permissions as well as owner UID and GID when executing a file/program/command.

  • X server is in good shape, and the X11 protocol.

  • GLX is broken “beyond repair”. (OpenGL Extension to the X Window System)

  • X extensions have quite a few bugs too, but not all systems have the same extensions. Trickier.

  • tl;dr: 80 bugs in xlib, most of them fixed. 120 bugs in the server, going to be fixed but not disclosed yet to avoid 0-day exploits. Tons of stinky code in extension modules, potentially full of bugs, but no investigations have been done, yet.

  • Aksed about Wayland: https://youtu.be/2l7ixRE3OCw?t=55m17s – 56:00

  • YaCyPi – Turnkey Raspberry Pi based Internet Search Engine by Obsidian Security Services — Kickstarter
