SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that enables secure remote access to servers (and other devices, but we will focus on servers) over an insecure network. SSH can be enabled on various Linux OS distributions; however, this blog post will focus on helping it on AlmaLinux 10 OS. However, the procedure is similar to that on any other Linux OS. SSH is an essential tool for system administrators, DevOps engineers, sysadmins, developers, and regular Linux users who need to remotely manage their servers. This post will cover how to install SSH on AlmaLinux 10, including configuration of basic rules, enabling SSH through the Firewall, and testing SSH connections. Understanding how to install and enable SSH on AlmaLinux 10 is a straightforward process that typically takes between 5 and 10 minutes to complete. Let’s get things working!

Coming a little over a month after GNOME 48.3, the GNOME 48.4 release promises to finally fix the update notification issue in the GNOME Software app, which gave me a lot of headaches in the past few months. The issue was that even if my system was up to date, GNOME Software sent a notification that it was out of date.

In this tutorial we are going to explain how to configure a static IP address on AlmaLinux 10 OS. A static IP address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to a server that remains constant over time. A machine uses an IP address to locate and communicate with other machines (servers or computers) over the Internet. IP addresses are numerical identifiers that enable packets to be sent and received between one network device and another. The tutorial will cover identifying the network interface on your server, editing, and restarting the network service. Configuring a static IP Address on AlmaLinux 10 is a straightforward process that takes a couple of minutes. Let’s get started!

Flow monitoring tools are useful for tracking traffic patterns, planning capacity, and spotting threats. But many off-the-shelf solutions come with steep licensing costs and hardware demands, especially if you want to process every packet. A research team at the University of Tübingen has built an alternative: an open-source, cost-effective, and distributed platform for collecting unsampled IPFIX data.

Their system, called SENSOR, uses open-source software and vendor-agnostic components to monitor traffic at multiple points in the university’s network. This setup captures internal flows that would otherwise go unnoticed if monitoring were only done at the perimeter.
