Today I spent some time to write an automatic audit tool to
crosscheck various configuration parameters within F5’s
Application Security Manager on their BigIP Loadbalancer.

In addition to daily config change diffs which are monitored in subversion, now IPv6 typos will be reported, missing iRules for certain services detected, assigned ASM policies per vServer and assigned certificates checked.

Also expiration times of SSL certificates reported, amongst a few other things.

Very useful now.
This should have been done within the box itself.

FreeNAS, Thingiverse

FreeNAS 9.1.1 Upgrade

November 7, 2013 kobaan Leave a comment

Today I upgraded my FreeNAS storage from 8.3.1 to 9.1.1 with all RAIDZ pools still alive, all new ZFS features available, no problems so far.

Further I printed lots of 90 degree makerbeam brackets, and uploaded all my design files to Thingiverse.

Head, Mechanics

New head mount plate

November 5, 2013 kobaan Leave a comment

To put the robot head on top of the maker beam chassis I needed a quick and dirty solution, so I simply cut off a CD jewel case, and used the plate for mounting.

Unfortunately the material, some kind of polystyrol I guess, isn’t very robust, easily to be scratched and simple to break.

Back to the 3D printer and I quickly designed a new head servo mount plate:

Makerbeam

OpenSCAD designs for makerbeam spare parts

Only a few days after the maker beam starter kit arrived and I screwed together the robot chassis, already a lot of connector parts are gone.

Especially the 90 degree corners and the 90 degree flat angles.

Instead of ordering the next batch, I decided to 3D print them later, but first the design files:

Base Platform, Makerbeam

Makerbeam teddy robot chassis

My makerbeam starterkit arrived, so I migrated the whole robot chassis from 3D printed parts to the more practical extruded aluminium profile beams. This way I can mount additional stuff everywhere and change minor things faster without the need for reprinting.
