[16:05:09] <halfak>	 tos: Sorry I'm a little late.
[16:05:13] <halfak>	 Still interested in hacking?
[16:06:04] <tos>	 Doesnt harm :3
[16:06:30] <tos>	 Fair warning, I didnt/cudnt do any background reading apart from what you told me last time
[16:07:01] <halfak>	 No worries.  I figured as much.
[16:07:05] <halfak>	 People are busy :)
[16:08:15] <halfak>	 Have you played around at all with running ubuntu from VirtualBox?
[16:08:23] <tos>	 Nope
[16:08:27] <halfak>	 If not, we can always work with putty
[16:08:42] <halfak>	 Putty is just an "SSH client" for windows.
[16:08:55] <halfak>	 I'll send a link in a sec.
[16:09:09] * halfak  is loading browser

[16:09:31] <halfak>	 http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
[16:09:36] <halfak>	 Or more specifically: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
[16:10:08] <halfak>	 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] <halfak>	 Ok.  Looks like you can go it with puttygen.exe
[16:12:07] <tos>	 Err?
[16:12:24] <halfak>	 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] <halfak>	 Sorry.  puttygen.exe is downloadable from he first link I sent you.
[16:13:13] <halfak>	 so you'll need two programs from there:  putty.exe & puttygen.exe
[16:13:40] <halfak>	 OK.  Yeah.  Conversion is solid.
[16:14:03] <tos>	 Want to switch to vid-call instead?
[16:14:05] <halfak>	 I think I know enough now that we can switch to voice.  Want to get on a a hangout?
[16:14:08] <halfak>	 Perfect
[16:34:46] <halfak>	 Lame google hangouts.
[16:34:50] <halfak>	 I just did a speed test.
[16:35:18] <halfak>	 I'm getting 40/15 Mbits @ 42 ping to Chicago.
[16:35:24] <halfak>	 Bah
[16:35:26] <halfak>	 ANyway.
[16:35:52] <halfak>	 So I want you to copy paste "bastion.wmflabs.org" in the text box right under "Saved sessions"
[16:35:58] <halfak>	 Then hit "save"
[16:35:59] <tos>	 Done
[16:36:32] <tos>	 then?
[16:36:41] <halfak>	 OK.  Now I want you to click on the "+" next to "SSH".  On the left.
[16:36:47] <halfak>	 It's at the bottom of the list
[16:37:01] <halfak>	 There should be in option for "Auth" or "Authentication"
[16:37:53] <tos>	 One sec, what was the host name again?
[16:38:00] <tos>	 I messed something up, so I reopened
[16:38:13] <halfak>	 Hostname is "bastion.wmflabs.org"
[16:38:22] <halfak>	 Also the "Session name"
[16:38:56] <tos>	 Ok what about Auth
[16:39:10] <halfak>	 This is where you are going to select the private key you just made.
[16:39:30] <tos>	 done\
[16:39:31] <halfak>	 Putty is going to use it to do some math to demonstrate that you have the private key without sending it.
[16:39:51] <halfak>	 OK.  No click back on "Session" in the upper left.
[16:40:10] <halfak>	 I actually made you save the session too early before.  You'll need to save it again.
[16:40:31] <tos>	 now?
[16:40:34] <halfak>	 ... by typing "bastion.wmflabs.org" under Saved Sessions and clicking "Save"
[16:40:39] <halfak>	 Yes
[16:40:49] <tos>	 i mean done
[16:40:53] <halfak>	 k.
[16:41:01] <halfak>	 Now click "Open" on the bottom"
[16:41:13] <halfak>	 It should try to connect to "bastion.wmflabs.org"
[16:41:23] <halfak>	 Then ask for your username.
[16:41:40] <halfak>	 If it asks for your password, we messed something up.
[16:41:49] <tos>	 login as: TheOriginalSoni
[16:41:49] <tos>	 If you are having access problems, please see:https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Access#Accessing_public_and_private_instances
[16:41:49] <tos>	 Server refused our key
[16:41:53] <tos>	 Disconnected
[16:42:06] <halfak>	 One sec.
[16:43:16] <halfak>	 OK.  On wikitech.wikimedia.org
[16:43:19] <tos>	 I logged in as soni and this time it didnt give an error
[16:43:20] <halfak>	 Go to preferences
[16:43:25] <halfak>	 Oh good.
[16:43:32] <halfak>	 So "soni" is your "Shell username"
[16:43:35] <tos>	 Yes
[16:43:51] <halfak>	 Excellent.  So now you should be on the command prompt for bastion.
[16:43:54] <halfak>	 Type "ls"
[16:44:12] <tos>	 No command prompt I can see.
[16:44:24] <tos>	 It just vanished. Minimised or closed :|
[16:44:45] <halfak>	 No black-background/while text window?
[16:44:50] <tos>	 no
[16:44:56] <tos>	 It was and it closed
[16:45:08] <tos>	 Or minimised but I cant find it
[16:45:18] <halfak>	 Hmm..  Let's try starting again.
[16:45:26] <halfak>	 I wish we could screenshare.
[16:45:26] <tos>	 on it
[16:45:29] <halfak>	 We could try skype
[16:46:31] <tos>	 Same problem. It closed after the last line of "authenticating as rsa-..."
[16:46:39] <tos>	 There was some number after that
[16:47:33] <halfak>	 Hmmm.  I think i might have you sshing to the wrong bastion.  Let me try doing that directly.
[16:47:55] <halfak>	 Hmm...  I had no problem logging into bastion.
