    What is Webmin?

    If you have ever involved in Web Hosting field then you might have heard about CPanel, CPanel is a full featured easy to use most popular Web Control Panel for web Administrators, so you might be thinking why are we using Webmin instead of CPanel, well that’s because Webmin is absolutely free and Open Source and on the other hand Cpanel costs about $400 for a standard license. in short, Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely.

     

    How to install Webmin on Raspberry Pi?

    Requirements:

    • Raspberry Pi Running with an OS (We are using Raspbian Jessie for this tutorial)
    • Connection to the Internet on your Pi
    • SSH Access

     

    Video tutorial:

     

     

    Installation:

    Step 1: Boot up your Raspberry Pi and use SSH to connect to it.

    Step 2: Make sure your pi is up to date with the latest version. Use the below commands to do so.

    sudo su
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade

     

    Step 3: Next install the necessary packages that are required by webmin, these are Apache Server, MySQL Server, PHP, Samba File Server, Bind9 DNS Server etc.

    sudo apt-get -y install apache2 apache2-suexec-custom libnet-ssleay-perl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions samba bind9 webalizer locate mysql-server

     

    Step 4: Wait till the installation of above items complete, you can check you Apache installation by opening hostname or IP address of your Pi in your browser, it will display default Apache Server page. Now we will create a directory in Raspberry Pi for downloading the Webmin Debian installation package.

    cd
    
    mkdir installed-packages
    
    cd installed-packages

     

     

    Step 5: Now download the latest version of Webmin using the wget command, Update the version number of Webmin with the latest one, you can find the latest version number on Webmin’s official website. Look on the top let side after the menu for the latest version and update it in the below line of code in place of webmin_1.840_all.deb.

    wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.840_all.deb
    
    
    dpkg -i webmin_1.840_all.deb

     

    Step 6: Wait till the installation completes. It will display the Webmin Panel URL in your terminal windows. You access you Webmin panel by opening https://IP-Address-of-your-Pi:10000. Make sure the port 10000 is allowed by your router or as Webmin uses this port to listen to the browser requests.

     

    That’s it, you will be able to access Webmin Panel from your browser, use the same id and password that you used for ssh to login into Webmin panel.

     

    Optional: Change default public_html directory for your Webmin Virtual Servers:

    sudo nano /etc/apache2/suexec/www-data

     

    Change the first line from /var/www to /home to change your default public_html directory to /home.

     

    a2enmod suexec
    
    a2enmod actions
    
    service apache2 restart

    How to Speed up your SSL Encrypted Networks

    Online security has gained a lot of significance in the security threat-ridden digital world that we live in today. That day is not far away when internet users will be trusting and visiting only SSL certificate signed websites; or in other words, websites which use encryption for securely transmitting the data. So naturally, more and more online businesses or enterprises – not only those concerned with online transactions but almost all of them – are deploying SSL encryption technology, as online transactions as well as various web-enabled endpoints like mobiles, tablets etc., increase, making SSL encryption technology a must-have for online security.

    But as with all good things, there is a drawback to enterprises using SSL encryption technology as well. It slows down the network’s performance. So, although SSL certificates have their benefits, they are also associated with slowing down of the network’s performance. To counter this issue, network administrators use what is known as “load balancers”, for evenly distributing (and handling) the burden on the network caused because of the use of encryption technology.

    So how do these load balancers take some load off the network or, more specifically, off the backend server? By performing what is known as ‘SSL Termination’, which to explain in simple words, is the task of decrypting the encrypted data before it is passed to the backend servers so that they are spared the task of ‘decrypting the data’. Therefore the workload of the backend server is greatly reduced which in turn improves the network’s performance.

    There are a number of strategies being deployed for handling SSL encryption using load balancers. Let’s take a look at some of the prominent strategies that are in use.

     

    1. Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS):

    SSL handshake involves a number of sessions between the browser and a web server. Previously all of these sessions were protected by the same unique private key. So if this private key of the web server was compromised, information relating to all the previous as well as subsequent sessions could be easily be unlocked. To solve this issue, the ‘Perfect Forward Secrecy’ load balancing technique was introduced. As the name suggests, this technique maintains a ‘forward secrecy’, by providing ephemeral (short-lived) private keys for each session, so that even if a private key is compromised, information relating to only that session will get exposed while others will still remain encrypted.

     

    2. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC):

    ECC uses short encryption keys and therefore places a lesser load on the web server. These keys are faster and require less computing power thereby reducing the network load greatly. So this is an SSL encryption handling strategy which organizations can use to improve or speed up their SSL performance.

     

    3. Per-app Load Balancing:

    Enterprises usually keep replacing their load balancers for bigger and better-performing ones every few years. This can be a tedious, time and money consuming process. So now they are shifting their focus towards per-app load balancing these days. When implemented using the right methodology, per-app load balancing enables enterprises to save costs and reduce the burden on the network greatly.

     

    4. Real-time Security:

    Since load balancers are placed in the path of the data transmission, the data collected from them can be used to alert administrators in real-time against SSL vulnerabilities such as DDoS attacks, expired certificates etc., They can also be helpful in providing data for formulating security policies to effectively address these security vulnerabilities. So load balancers should essentially be viewed as another tool to strengthen your security and protect your enterprise from malicious hackers.

    So if your customers want you to serve them over social media, then you must engage and give timely response to their entire queries quickly. Otherwise, you might miss a great opportunity to satisfy your customers in the right manner.

    • Add People to Group

    If you add people to different groups without notification, then you might lose them from your business page as well. Every Facebook user wants full control over their profile activities.

    Therefore never pressurize your customers to join or leave a group. In addition, you should never tag any user on a new post without consent. It’s a brilliant idea to expand your post, but it also irritates followers. So, avoid tactics that can do negative marketing of your brand especially over social media.

    • Too Much Advertisement

    Surely Facebook is the best platform to tell the audience more about a brand but in an interesting and engaging way. Remember it’s not all about advertising but to entertain the audience in a way that persuades them to choose you over the list of competitors.

    For this, you will need to come up with impressive marketing ideas on a daily basis. Else you will not only make your audience bore but also miss a great opportunity to drive more leads.

    Internet – and the Industry : Case Study

    0

    Who can deny the fact that our convictions are intrinsically determined by our experiences of the world, and not merely by abstract academic or theoretical sessions of reasoning out-of-tune with reality? In certain circumstances, particularly in the case of amateurs starting out with any new venture, we may imagine that we might make do with the provision of simple amenities in both our private and commercial lives – like a basic and moderately-paced Internet connection to handle all of our ever-escalating workloads. But our de facto encounters with the day-to-day tasks that encumber our professional lives soon shift our opinions in the favor of m

     

    Internet – and the Industry

    ore dynamic, flexible and time-saving solutions; those that offer both increased productivity and greater value (by-the-buck). In such a context, it is not difficult to determine exactly where high-speed Internet factors into this conversation. Or to be more specific, Charter Spectrum Internet, which has gained industry and consumer-wide recognition as one of the fastest and most reliable Internet services on offer to all web users out there in the country – irrespective of their geographical setting(s).

    After all, are not efficiency and accuracy, those coveted harbingers of rapid progress and growth since time immemorial, the very cornerstones that determine the potential of (and impetus for) virtually every profit-based commercial entity that exists in the world? Of course, they are. The success and prosperity of mankind as a whole is inextricably tied to the advancement of the industry.

    It is in industrial and profit-maximizing commercial settings that all innovations made by certain demographic segments of intellectuals from academic and R&D research units are capitalized upon, and subsequently marketed; thereby increasing the opportunities and scopes for all people as a whole. For this progress to be made possible, it is therefore absolutely imperative that such frontier-driven organizations be provided with the best tools available in the field to facilitate continual growth and expansion – such as lightning-fast internet speeds. Charter Spectrum Internet plans, which feature up to 300 Mbps of Internet speeds designed to satisfy even the most grueling connectivity and downloading requirements of industry specialists, certainly fall into this category. The said service provider, in addition to providing unprecedented data transfer rates to its customers, is also completely changing our perceptions of Internet speed and consistency – as we may have been led to conceive of these metrics up till now.

    Affordability of service plans always comes up as a key determinant for the success of any market-driven venture, and not just the provision of Internet services by organizations engaged in achieving that end. Even if the commodity or service being sold by a vendor is of pristine quality, and may also be deemed to be a necessity by those targeted; if it is perceived to be expensive by the end user, its scope for greater sales and popular acceptance will be severely limited. Consumer-oriented corporations, therefore, must succeed at achieving a fine ‘balancing act’ for the sake of remaining viable commercial enterprises – by identifying a kind of break-even point between quality and cost. It is not uncommon for Internet users, even entire businesses, to forestall the use of high-speed and reliable Internet services due to the exorbitant package costs that accompany them. Charter Internet prices, with the provider’s premier Internet plan starting from only $29.99 per month, ensure that the company continues to remain far ahead of all its competitors in the field – and continues to provide high-speed internet without any failings in service quality.

    The reliability of an Internet service is intimately linked to the degree and strength of the digital safeguards which may or may not accompany it (or be incorporated in it as a default option). Contending with all manner of virulent and targeted Internet-based attacks (launched by hackers, spammers, and infiltrating virus programs) has become a sort of existential occupation for most organizations – particularly in the public sector. So it is now increasingly crucial for Internet service vendors to fortify their connection plans with antivirus and anti-hacking defenses; so as to ensure safety both for their own services, as well as their beleaguered customers. In this respect, Charter Spectrum Internet plans come equipped with FREE Virus, Hacker & Spam ware protection software. So if you are a charter user, you no longer have to be concerned about any of these (otherwise significant) threats to your digital world.

    In addition to blazing connection speeds, highly affordable packages and virus-protection services, Charter also offers FREE Modems with their Internet plans, so that you (the consumer) can avail great value for your hard-earned money – without spending a dime on added accessories or gadgetry. Charter is interested in consumer-retention and making zero compromises in terms of customer satisfaction. Their service plans may be ordered instantly through cableninternet.com, and indulged in with the guarantee of unbeatable connection quality.
