Quick and easy, how to get the fingerprint of your SSH RSA key.
# syntax:
openssl pkey -in PATH/PRIVATE_RSA_KEY -pubout -outform DER | openssl md5 -c
# example:
$ openssl pkey -in ~/.ssh/id_rsa -pubout -outform DER | openssl md5 -c
MD5(stdin)= a6:26:23:d9:c1:d3:d5:e5:c0:38:ab:3c:c1:6a:3f:eaNothing else than what the title says. Simple PowerShell script for dumping the IP address:
wsl -- ip -o -4 -json addr list eth0 `
| ConvertFrom-Json `
| %{ $_.addr_info.local } `
| ?{ $_ }From the Windows box using the CLI console (cmd):
ssh USER@HOST "tcpdump -s 0 -U -n -w - -i NETIF FILTER" | "c:\Program Files\Wireshark\Wireshark.exe" -k -i -
# USER - remote user of the linux box
# HOST - host address of the remote linux box
# NETIF - network interface to snif in the remote linux box
# FILTER - (optional) rules for filtering traffic to capture
Use case:
C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH>ssh root@192.168.4.74 "tcpdump -s 0 -U -n -w - -i eno2 udp and not port 53" | "c:\Program Files\Wireshark\Wireshark.exe" -k -i -Let me present a rare use case of this useful trick. I use a QNAP NAS as a gateway in my home network, where I have 5 NICs. So it’s really useful to snif traffic remotly but I have no tcpdump packet in the system. What I did is use tcpdump as Docker container and finally the commands is like that.
# sniffing SIP traffic (port 5060) on interface eth0
# remote linux host (QNAP NAS) use SSH port 55222
# docker container is created and when work is done is removed
C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH>ssh -p 55222 admin@10.2.0.1 "cd /share/Container/tcpdump && docker run --rm --net=host corfr/tcpdump -s 0 -U -n -w - -i eth0 not port 22 and port 5060" | "c:\Program Files\Wireshark\Wireshark.exe" -k -i -
When you are playing with Windows Hyper-V and you want to create a completely virtual internal network with private virtual machines inside your Windows 10 machine virtual switch are mandatory.
Then it’s the time to connect that virtual switch with the host machine using a virtual network interface. All those steps can be done using Hyper-V manager user interface, but you cannot control 100% of parameters like enable, or not, the NAT of the virtual internal network.
Using PowerShell the steps are:
New-VMSwitch -SwitchName NATSwitch -SwitchType Internal
New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 10.46.1.1 -PrefixLength 24 -InterfaceAlias "vEthernet (NATSwitch)"
New-NetNAT -Name NATNetwork -InternalIPInterfaceAddressPrefix 10.46.1.0/24Of course, change “NATSwitch” for your switch name and “10.46.1.1” for the IP address of the host virtual network card. Finally “NATNetwork” is another arbitrary name for referring to the NAT rule, and “10.46.1.0/24” is the network address of the virtual internal host network.
Running the commands looks like:
For removing what you did:
Remove-VMSwitch -Name "NATSwitch"
Remove-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias "vEthernet (NATSwitch)"
Remove-NetNAT -Name NATNetworkIn Windows 10 IP forwarding is not enabled and packets between interfaces are not routed. According to the Microsoft forums, you can enable IP forwarding (routing) using the following steps:
Go to Start and search on cmd or command. Right click on either cmd or command then select Run as administrator. At the command prompt type regedit. Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Services\Tcpip\Parameters\IPEnableRouter setting, right click and select Modify. Change 0 to 1 and exit the editor.
When your back at the command prompt type services.msc and navigate to the Routing and Remote Access service. Right click and select Properties. Change to Automatic and click on Start to start the service.
I had to research a long time until I found all this information, but in my case leverage my proofs of concepts to another level.
No words just a simple an powerful .ps1 script:
while (1) { Start-Process -NoNewWindow -FilePath 'C:\ProgramData\ZeroTier\One\zerotier-one_x64.exe' -ArgumentList "-q","peers"; sleep 5; cls }Or just a command, even equally useful.

Usually, simple things are the best, in the case I want to recommend an FTP server for Windows. This is a really simple but super useful FTP server for Windows. I’m using in Windows 10 and it works perfectly. Configuration is done in less than 10″ and installation is not required, I love that. Super portable.
Don’t expect sophisticated options but the most useful and advanced ones are there. If you need something like that my recommendation is:
Quick’n Easy FTP Server Lite by Pablo Software Solutions
Just a summary and extracted from the product webpage this is a summary of features:
Screenshots are always lovely, some of them are:

Finally just say THANKS Pablo for such good job and so useful stuff.

I imagine you are used to using curl for many command line scripts, tests, and much more things. I did the same but some weeks ago I discovered HTTPie which is the best substitute that I’ve ever found for curl. Of course, it’s also available for a lot of Linux distributions, Windows, and Mac. But I used it with docker which is much more transparent for the operative system and easy to update. To be more precise I use next alias trick for using this tool:
alias http='sudo docker run -it --rm --net=host clue/httpie'
Official website: httpie.org
Let me paste some highlights about HTTPie:
From the tool webpage a nice comparison about how HTTPie looks like versus curl.
Reading time: < 1 minute This is another short entry, in this case for recommending a service which we solve typical problem solved using a DNAT. Once we have a service on our laptop, or on a private server and we have to expose that service on the internet for some time or permanently usually we have to go the firewall, or router and create a NAT rule forwarding a port. This is a simple and powerful service which is going to solve that for you. There is a free account for understanding and testing the service, other plans are available and especially affordable for professional requirements.
I was frogetting to say it’s compatible with Linux, Windows and Mac.

This is a super useful and simple tool, first of all, let me say thanks to Dani because I found the tool thanks to him. Very often I have the requirement to set up small virtual, real or hybrid networks using my laptop as a server and I had to boot a VM for getting a DHCP server simple to manage and powerful. Now, this is not required anymore because thanks to this tool I found a super small and flexible tool, I can set up all that I need using an INI file or just a wizard. It’s a pleasure and I don’t have to install anything if I don’t want, just a tray icon application is running for allowing me to give the service to my experimental networks.
Those projects that gain my commitment in a second: DHCP Server for Windows
Reading time: < 1 minute Assuming we're running a Windows shell with administrator privileges, using next commands is possible to enable, or disable, Hyper-V. In my case this is needed because when Hyper-V is running Virtualbox only can run 32bit virtual machines. I require Microsoft VM manager Hyper-V because I also run Docker for Windows and it's a requirement.
#enable Hyper-V dism.exe /Online /Enable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V /All #disable Hyper-V dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V
