Determine process listening port(s) by name

~$ sudo netstat -tupln
Active Internet connections (only servers)

determine the location of the process using the PID

~$ sudo ls -la /proc/374/exe
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2020-01-27 00:38 /proc/374/exe -> /usr/lib/apache2/mpm-prefork/apache2

process activity

top

~$ top

LoadAvg Load average over 1, 5, and 15 minutes. divide by number of cores to determine load.

ps

ps -AlH

This shows all the processes running, in long format, with the extra full format output

Network Throughput

iperf

requires a server/client setup that communicates over port 5001. generally server/client placement is dependent on network accessibility, ie. server would be placed outside of the network, client within. You may need to open 5001 on both sides however, in case established/related is not implicitly accepted from the client side > out.

Server side

~$ sudo yum install -y iperf
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5001 -j ACCEPT -m comment --comment "iperf - 5001"
~$ iperf -s

Example:

$ iperf -s
------------------------------------------------------------
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[  4] local 10.0.0.1 port 5001 connected with 10.0.0.2 port 47552
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  4]  0.0-10.0 sec  76.6 MBytes  64.1 Mbits/sec
[  5] local 10.0.0.1 port 5001 connected with 10.0.0.2 port 39914
[  5]  0.0-10.0 sec  84.5 MBytes  70.6 Mbits/sec

Client side

~$ iperf -c target.ip -p port.number
Example
$ iperf -c 10.0.0.1 -p 5001
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to 10.0.0.1, TCP port 5001
TCP window size:  466 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[  3] local 10.0.0.1 port 39914 connected with 10.0.0.2 port 5001

Testing

Storage Device Burn-In
Spinning disk hard drives have moving parts, by definition. These parts are highly-sensitive to shock and vibration, and will eventually wear out with use. Consider pre-flighting every storage device before putting it into production, paying attention to:

Start a long HDD self test (smartctl -t long /dev/)
After the test is done (could take 12+ hours), check the results (smartctl -a /dev/)
Pending sector reallocations (smartctl -a /dev/ | grep Current_Pending_Sector)
Reallocated sector count (smartctl -a /dev/ | grep Reallocated_Sector_Ct)
UDMA CRC errors (smartctl -a /dev/ | grep UDMA_CRC_Error_Count)
HDD and SSD write latency consistency (diskinfo -wS ) Unformatted drives only!
HDD and SSD hours (smartctl -a /dev/ | grep Power_On_Hours)
NVMe percentage used (nvmecontrol logpage -p 2 nvme0 | grep “Percentage used”)
Take time before deploying the system to create a pool and subject it to as close to the real-world workload as possible. This can reveal individual drive issues but also can help determine if an alternative pool layout is better suited to that workload. Be cautious of used drives as vendors may not be honest or informed about the age and health of any given drive. Check the number of hours on all “new” drives using smartctl(8) as they may in fact be “recertified” or simply untruthfully advertised. A drive vendor may also zero the hours of a drive during recertification, masking its true age. All storage devices sold by iXsystems are tested for a minimum of 48 hours prior to shipment.

javascript sop

Same-Origin Policy (SOP)

common when using javascript to integrated with external resources, like an API.
there are security measures within browsers that restrict interaction between documents (or scripts) that have different origins.

decrypt ssl

client

use pre-master key captured by the client side using an environment variable populated when a browser visits a SSL site. Afterwards used in wireshark to decrypt SSL traffic sent to/from the client.

server

from the server side it can be a bit more complicated depending on the type of encryption.
SSL decryption works only if the key exchange was of type RSA or static DH; with "DHE" and "ECDHE" cipher suites, you won't be able to decrypt such a session, even with knowledge of the server private key. In that case, you will need either the negotiated "master secret", or to use the server private key to actively intercept the connection (in a Man-in-the-Middle setup).

Akamai (CDN)

Akamai is a CDN like Cloudflare. They serve website content to clients using their network of endpoints located all around the world. From the host server perspective though, incoming connections come from the CDN and not directly from the client IP, which can make management a challenge unless the CDN offers tools on their end, like geo restrictions, blacklists, etc.

Elasticsearch

JSON based document-oriented database designed to store, retrieve, and manage document-oriented or semi-structured data. it is schema-less and natively is designed in a distributed fashion, making it extremely easy to expand upon.
Elasticsearch is extremely efficient at handling queries against big data, commonly with a response time of less than a second.
Elasticsearch can also be used as a front end for a traditional relational database using logstash to copy and synchronize records between elasticsearch and the rdbms.

Apache Cassasndra

Leading NoSQL Database solution, offers schema-less non-relational database based on a document rather than a table. Primarily used for big data needs as it was built to scale and offers exceptional response time when compared to a RDMS. NoSQL does have a lack of community support vs mySQL. Cassandra supports a multi-master model, so it is possible to have 100% uptime and it supports CDL, which is similar to SQL query language, but with limitations.

Representational State Transfer (REST API)

REST is a way for two computer systems to communicate over HTTP. Generally the REST API daemon will return a JSON response that the receiving server will parse. REST APIs are generally used programmatically, in other words they are not used directly by people, but by applications and scripts. REST APIs can return just about any data that an application will need, such as user preferences, counts, url strings, etc.

XML vs JSON

JSON

Javascript object notation

JSON is fairly common today, widely used by many REST API implementations. It is fast, easy to read and parse, and has lots of community support and tools, like Postman. It natively is not secure (but can be used with HTTPS) nor supports any encoding other than UTF-8

XML

Older than JSON, XML is more of a extensible markup language (like HTML) designed to store data. You can define markup elements and create a custom markup language based on XML. XML can support more than just text or numbers (like JSON), it can also support images, charts, graphs, etc. Retrieving data is a bit more difficult than JSON, but XML support multiple types of encodings.

AJAX

Asynchronous JavaScript And XML

AJAX is a technique for accessing web servers from a web page. Essentially its a way to use XML within Javascript to send/receive data between a client and server. The biggest advantage is the ability to update webpages asynchronously so that parts of a webpage are updated without refreshing the entire page.

http cookie

http cookies are used for a large variety of purposes, but the most common is stateful or arbitrary pieces of information about a user's interaction with a website. Generally you have a separate cookie generated for each website a user accesses, which could even include authentication details, such as a username and whether they are logged in or not.
Cookies have also been used for tracking and dynamic advertising purposes, so a ad generation site, like google ad works, can tailor or customize ads to products you've recently viewed online.
