Question 2

How do I extend my disk space?

Accepted Answer

Overview

In some Ubuntu installations, you might notice that not all of your disk space is being utilized. This can happen if your system's logical volume isn't taking advantage of all the available space. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to extend your disk space using a few simple commands via SSH.

||| This guide is specifically for Ubuntu installations.

1. Log in via SSH

First, log in to your server using SSH. You can do this using an SSH client like ssh from your terminal:

ssh username@your-server-ip

Replace username with your actual username and your-server-ip with your server's IP address.

2. Extend the Logical Volume

To make all the free space available to your system, run the following command:

sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv

This command extends the logical volume to use all the remaining free space on the physical volume.

3. Resize the Filesystem

Next, resize the filesystem to ensure it can use the newly extended space:

sudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv

This command resizes the filesystem on the logical volume to fill the newly available space.

4. Reboot the Server

Finally, reboot your server to apply the changes:

sudo reboot

Conclusion

Your disk space should now be fully extended and available for use. If you encounter any issues or if anything is unclear, feel free to submit a support ticket, and we'll be

Question 6

How to create a packet capture for DDoS Traffic analysis

Accepted Answer

Introduction

This guide will help you create a pcap (packet capture) file using tcpdump, a powerful command-line packet analyzer. This file will be used by our support team to investigate potential DDoS attacks.

Prerequisites

Access to the Server during the attack: Depending on the type of attack you might not be able to access the server via SSH, ensure you can access the server via the console (on VPS services) or IPMI (on dedicated servers).

1. Install `tcpdump`

Most Linux distributions come with tcpdump pre-installed. If it's not installed, you can install it using your package manager.

For Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install tcpdump

For Alma/Rocky/RHEL:

sudo yum install tcpdump

2. Capture Traffic and Save to a `pcap` File

To capture traffic and save it to a file, use the -w option followed by the filename. For example:

sudo tcpdump -w capture.pcap

|| Ensure the tcpdump command is only running during an attack.

| To stop the packet capture simply press ctrl + c

3. Verify the Capture File

You can verify that the capture file was created and contains data using tcpdump itself:

tcpdump -r capture.pcap

4. Downloading the `pcap` File

To download the pcap file you can connect to the server using sFTP, once connected you will find the pcap file inside the same directory you ran the command.

5. Uploading the `pcap` File

Once you have the
