How add a Tenable Vulnerability Management (formerly Tenable.io) Scanner to Tenable Security Center

https://docs.tenable.com/security-center/6_2/Content/AddTenableioScanner.htm?Highlight=Add%20Tenable%20Scanner

 *Note: By default, Tenable Vulnerability Management selects the regional scanner that corresponds with the location of your Tenable Vulnerability Management user account. For example, if you run a scan from a user account located in the United States, Tenable Vulnerability Management selects the United States scanner. If you run a scan from a user account in Germany, Tenable Vulnerability Management selects the Germany scanner.

How to send a command line mail by mutt with a gmail account?

Mutt is an open-source, text-based email client used in command-line interfaces. Known for its simplicity, flexibility, and powerful features, it supports various email protocols like IMAP and POP3.

Sending emails is an indispensable requirement for an application developer or system administrator. After Google disabled the less secure mail setting, the scripts I used to send emails using Gmail accounts stopped working.

By activating the 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) feature in your Gmail account and defining an App, you can still use your scripts to send emails by using the password you set for this app.

The steps you need to follow for this solution are outlined below.

Steps:

--

1. Enable MFA

2. Define App Password

3. Install Mutt

4. Example Config:

set from = "aliokan@gmail.com"
set realname = "KALE - Server"
#set imap_user = "aliokan@gmail.com"
#set imap_pass = "myverysecretpassword"

set smtp_url = "smtp://aliokan@smtp.gmail.com:587/"
set smtp_pass = "myverysecretpassword"
set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com:993"
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
set ssl_starttls = yes
set ssl_force_tls = yes

## Opsiyonel: E-postaları yerel olarak saklamak için
#set header_cache = ~/.mutt/cache/headers
#set message_cachedir = ~/.mutt/cache/bodies
#set certificate_file = ~/.mutt/certificates 

Test:

# echo "Bu bir test mesajıdır." | mutt -s "Test Konusu" targetmail@gmail.com

Possible error message:

No authenticators available
Could not send the message.

Solution:

# yum -y install cyrus-sasl-plain

AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam notes

Before attending AWS Cloud Practitioner courses, I was thinking that this program is just for newbies. But after taking the course and passing the exam. I can clearly say that the content is really useful to start to learn and discover AWS services.

Quick notes after exam:

Amazon Inspector is an automated vulnerability management service that continually scans AWS workloads for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure.

AWS Transit Gateway connects your Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and on-premises networks through a central hub.

Difference between reserved instance and on-demand instance

 

Reserved instance, spot instance and on-demand instance use-cases

Reserved Instances provide you with a significant discount compared to On-Demand instance pricing. In addition, when Reserved Instances are assigned to a specific Availability Zone, they provide a capacity reservation, giving you additional confidence in your ability to launch instances when you need them.

Standard Reserved Instances provide you with a significant discount compared to On-Demand instance pricing and can be purchased for a 1-year or 3-year term. The average discount off On-Demand instances varies based on your term and chosen payment options (up to 40% for 1-year and 60% for a 3-year term). Customers have the flexibility to change the Availability Zone, the instance size, and networking type of their Standard Reserved Instances.

Convertible Reserved Instances provide you with a significant discount compared to On-Demand Instances and can be purchased for a 1-year or 3-year term. Purchase Convertible Reserved Instances if you need additional flexibility, such as the ability to use different instance families, operating systems, or tenancies over the Reserved Instance term.

Amazon EC2 On-Demand Instances Although it is suitable to run non-interruptible workloads for a period of three years, it entails a higher running cost compared to Reserved or Spot instances. In fact, this is actually the most expensive type of EC2 instance and not the cheapest one.
