[16:05:09] tos: Sorry I'm a little late. [16:05:13] Still interested in hacking? [16:06:04] Doesnt harm :3 [16:06:30] Fair warning, I didnt/cudnt do any background reading apart from what you told me last time [16:07:01] No worries. I figured as much. [16:07:05] People are busy :) [16:08:15] Have you played around at all with running ubuntu from VirtualBox? [16:08:23] Nope [16:08:27] If not, we can always work with putty [16:08:42] Putty is just an "SSH client" for windows. [16:08:55] I'll send a link in a sec. [16:09:09] * halfak is loading browser [16:09:31] http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html [16:09:36] Or more specifically: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe [16:10:08] One of these programs will also let us generate an SSH Key. I'll have to do some googling to figure out how that works on windows, though. [16:11:48] Ok. Looks like you can go it with puttygen.exe [16:12:07] Err? [16:12:24] It has a special format for working with putty. I'm checking how difficult it will be to convert these keys to the OpenSSH format later. [16:12:43] Sorry. puttygen.exe is downloadable from he first link I sent you. [16:13:13] so you'll need two programs from there: putty.exe & puttygen.exe [16:13:40] OK. Yeah. Conversion is solid. [16:14:03] Want to switch to vid-call instead? [16:14:05] I think I know enough now that we can switch to voice. Want to get on a a hangout? [16:14:08] Perfect [16:34:46] Lame google hangouts. [16:34:50] I just did a speed test. [16:35:18] I'm getting 40/15 Mbits @ 42 ping to Chicago. [16:35:24] Bah [16:35:26] ANyway. [16:35:52] So I want you to copy paste "bastion.wmflabs.org" in the text box right under "Saved sessions" [16:35:58] Then hit "save" [16:35:59] Done [16:36:32] then? [16:36:41] OK. Now I want you to click on the "+" next to "SSH". On the left. [16:36:47] It's at the bottom of the list [16:37:01] There should be in option for "Auth" or "Authentication" [16:37:53] One sec, what was the host name again? [16:38:00] I messed something up, so I reopened [16:38:13] Hostname is "bastion.wmflabs.org" [16:38:22] Also the "Session name" [16:38:56] Ok what about Auth [16:39:10] This is where you are going to select the private key you just made. [16:39:30] done\ [16:39:31] Putty is going to use it to do some math to demonstrate that you have the private key without sending it. [16:39:51] OK. No click back on "Session" in the upper left. [16:40:10] I actually made you save the session too early before. You'll need to save it again. [16:40:31] now? [16:40:34] ... by typing "bastion.wmflabs.org" under Saved Sessions and clicking "Save" [16:40:39] Yes [16:40:49] i mean done [16:40:53] k. [16:41:01] Now click "Open" on the bottom" [16:41:13] It should try to connect to "bastion.wmflabs.org" [16:41:23] Then ask for your username. [16:41:40] If it asks for your password, we messed something up. [16:41:49] login as: TheOriginalSoni [16:41:49] If you are having access problems, please see:https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Access#Accessing_public_and_private_instances [16:41:49] Server refused our key [16:41:53] Disconnected [16:42:06] One sec. [16:43:16] OK. On wikitech.wikimedia.org [16:43:19] I logged in as soni and this time it didnt give an error [16:43:20] Go to preferences [16:43:25] Oh good. [16:43:32] So "soni" is your "Shell username" [16:43:35] Yes [16:43:51] Excellent. So now you should be on the command prompt for bastion. [16:43:54] Type "ls" [16:44:12] No command prompt I can see. [16:44:24] It just vanished. Minimised or closed :| [16:44:45] No black-background/while text window? [16:44:50] no [16:44:56] It was and it closed [16:45:08] Or minimised but I cant find it [16:45:18] Hmm.. Let's try starting again. [16:45:26] I wish we could screenshare. [16:45:26] on it [16:45:29] We could try skype [16:46:31] Same problem. It closed after the last line of "authenticating as rsa-..." [16:46:39] There was some number after that [16:47:33] Hmmm. I think i might have you sshing to the wrong bastion. Let me try doing that directly. [16:47:55] Hmm... I had no problem logging into bastion.
