Building Hanlon Micro-Kernel (MK)

I am posting a quick cookbook on creating hanlon microkernel for easy reference. Detailed information on how the microkernel organized and build along with details on each of the command listed here can be found on git hanlon microkernel wiki

1. Install dependencies

sudo apt-get install squashfs-tools -y
sudo apt-get install -y fakeroot
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full -y
sudo apt-get install curl -y

2. Install Ruby (I prefer using rvm)

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
source /home/user/.rvm/scripts/rvm

3. Clone hanlon micro-kernel project into your working directory (my directory ~/wspace/hanlon/hanlon-mk)

cd
mkdir wspace
mkdir hanlon
git clone hanlon-mk
cd hanlon-mk

4. Clone hanlon micro-kernel project into your working directory (my directory ~/wspace/hanlon/hanlon-mk)

cd
mkdir wspace
mkdir hanlon
git clone hanlon-mk

5. Create bundle file: This would create a temporary tar file containing all necessary files to complete iso creation process

cd hanlon-mk
./build-bundle-file.sh -d -t test1234 -b additional-build-files/builtin-extensions.lst -m additional-build-files/mirror-extensions.lst

This would create hanlon-microkernal-bundle-<mode>.tar.gz. Mode of the file depends on dev/debug/prod switch selected with build-bundle-file.sh

6. Create iso file structure with tar file

cd bundle_files
tar zxvf hanlon-microkernel-bundle-debug.tar.gz
fakeroot ./build_initial_directories.sh

This would create a directory structure to be used for the microkernel iso file. build_initial_directories.sh should be run as root. Because I do not prefer installing ruby at root, I am using fakeroot to work around the issue.

7. Create final iso file

./rebuild_iso.sh

Build the mk iso (in my case it is hnl_mk_debug-image.2.0.0+2-g99e078f.iso). File is naming follows the convention hnl_mk_<mode>-image.<version>-<git-stamp>.iso

Just Buzz... Where is AI?

Speaking to Recode’s Kara Swisher and MSNBC’s Ari Melber, Pichai said AI is “one of the most important things that humanity is working on. It’s more profound than, I don’t know, electricity or fire,” adding that people learned to harness fire for the benefits of humanity, but also needed to overcome its downsides, too. Pichai also said that AI could be used to help solve climate change issues, or to cure cancer. We are seeing some exciting things in the industry, Samsung’s massive 8K TVs apparently use AI to upscale lower resolution images for the big screen. Sony has created a new version of the Aibo robot dog, which this time promises more artificial intelligence. Travelmate’s robot suitcase will use AI to drive around and follow its owner wherever they go. Kohler has invented Numi, a toilet that has Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant built in etc., But despite all this, it does leave me wondering: is artificial intelligence really what we should be calling this revolution?...

Feasting your programming appetite with microservices

I have been coding for more than 25 years and have used more than 18 different programming languages (and their associated frameworks), spanning every programming style from simple scripting to procedural, to objected-oriented, to dynamic and functional — which is more attractive to the software engineering community these days. Let me confess, every time I switch to a new language or style I always think, “Oh, hope I can also do that .” Trust me, no language is complete; no style is perfect. So, the only way to feast your programming appetite is to try something different which gives more flexibility. I honestly think the microservices style of application is the one that best delivers that needed flexibility…and the fun that most of us are seeking.

Effective Pattern Identification Model for DDoS Attack Detection

Abstract: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are one of the major challenges to Internet community. Attackers send legitimate packets with often changing information from various compromised systems at random and at a very high frequency, rendering the target non-responsive for normal traffic. DDoS attacks are difficult to detect with traditional detection methods and standard Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Standard IDS tries to analyze the network traffic or system logs trying to identify emerging patterns on the network traffic. But due to randomness of the package origins it is difficult segregate true, false positive and normal traffic. This paper proposes a model based on Artificial Neural Networks to identify anomalies and detect DDoS patterns. In the proposed system sets of known characteristic features, which can separate attacks from normal traffic, are fed to the system to train the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). This self learn system improves with each n...
