Siempre hemos tenido visitas de robots en nuestros sitios. Normalmente, son inofensivos, como los rastreadores, que mantienen actualizados los motores de búsqueda. Esos robots comienzan por revisar nuestros archivos robots.txt, antes de hacer nada y respetan las restricciones contenidas en esos archivos.

Pero las cosas han cambiado, al igual que otros sitios, hemos sido visitados cada vez más frecuentemente por escarbadores IA, robots que indagan en el internet por cualquier cosa que puedan encontrar para entrenar aplicaciones IA. Estos son extremadamente hambrientos de información, así que descargan mucho más de lo que cualquier usuario podría hacer. Peor aún, muchos de ellos son mal educados y no respetan las reglas de nuestros archivos robots.txt, esconden su identidad, y no hacen pausas entre peticiones – al contrario, golpean nuestros servidores con peticiones desde montones de direcciones IP diferentes al mismo tiempo. Como resultado, partes de mageia.org, como Bugzilla, Wiki y Foros, se hacen inaccesibles.

A continuación, pueden ver la carga de la CPU de uno de nuestros servidores más importantes, donde se encuentran, entre otros, nuestros foros y wiki:

Incluso si nuestra actualización de infraestructura ya hubiera terminado, esto sería realmente difícil de mitigar.

Bloquear las direcciones IP es inútil, ya que constantemente están cambiando por otras. Uno de nuestros administradores apunta a un gran problema: “proxis móviles”, los robots dirigen sus peticiones desde teléfonos sin que los usuarios sospechen. Esto hace que las peticiones parezcan legítimas y las hace difíciles de bloquear sin bloquear al usuario real. Mucho de esto pasa sin que los usuarios sepan que sus teléfonos son usados de esta forma, algunos proxis son incluidos en juegos u otras aplicaciones y lo ocultan en las letras pequeñas de los términos de servicio. El año anterior, se reportó que Google elimino montones de este tipo de aplicaciones de su tienda.

Además de los teléfonos, están todos esos dispositivos IoT y computadoras que terminan formando parte de botnets, debido a su mala protección. Ahora quizas esten siendo utilizados por escarbadores IA.

Nuestros administradores de sistemas tienen éxito en mitigar el problema , pero es el «juego del gato y el ratón», así que es un problema recurrente.

Si conocen a personas que estén trabajando en entrenar aplicaciones IA, por favor pídales que se aseguren de que sus robots lean y respeten los archivos robots.txt que encuentren.

Y desde luego, cuando crea necesario, incentive a sus amigos y familiares a asegurarse de que sus computadoras y otros dispositivos inteligentes tengan todas las actualizaciones de seguridad tan pronto como se publiquen.

In Mageia/cauldron/x86_64: Rachota is a portable application for timetracking different projects. It runs everywhere. It displays time data in diagram form, creates customized reports and invoices or analyses measured data and suggests hints to improve user's time usage. The totally portable yet personal timetracker.

In Mageia/cauldron/i586: A program to convert images from PPM format into the control language for the Alps Micro-Dry printers, at various times sold by Citizen, Alps and Okidata. This program drives the Alps Micro-Dry series of printers, including the Citizen Printiva series, Alps MD series, and Oki DP series (but not yet the DP-7000). In the current release, the program drives the standard mode fairly well; the dye sublimation mode very well; and the VPhoto mode reasonably well. It supports all the colours available up to the DP-5000, including the foil colours.

In Mageia/cauldron/x86_64: Rdfind is a program that finds duplicate files. It is useful for compressing backup directories or just finding duplicate files. It compares files based on their content, NOT on their file names.

In Mageia/cauldron/i586: RANCID monitors a router's (or more generally a device's) configuration, including software and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc) and uses CVS (Concurrent Version System) or Subversion to maintain history of changes. RANCID does this by the very simple process summarized here: * login to each device in the router table (router.db), * run various commands to get the information that will be saved, * cook the output; re-format, remove oscillating or incrementing data, * email any differences (sample) from the previous collection to a mail list, * and finally commit those changes to the revision control system RANCID also includes looking glass software. It is based on Ed Kern's looking glass which was once used for http://nitrous.digex.net/, for the old-school folks who remember it. Our version has added functions, supports Cisco, Juniper, and Foundry and uses the login scripts that come with rancid; so it can use telnet or ssh to connect to your devices(s). Rancid currently supports Cisco routers, Juniper routers, Catalyst switches, Foundry switches, Redback NASs, ADC EZT3 muxes, MRTd (and thus likely IRRd), Alteon switches, and HP Procurve switches and a host of others. Rancid is known to be used at: AOL, Global Crossing, MFN, NTT America, Certainty Solutions Inc.

In Mageia/cauldron/x86_64: Redis is an advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets. You can run atomic operations on these types, like appending to a string; incrementing the value in a hash; pushing to a list; computing set intersection, union and difference; or getting the member with highest ranking in a sorted set. In order to achieve its outstanding performance, Redis works with an in-memory dataset. Depending on your use case, you can persist it either by dumping the dataset to disk every once in a while, or by appending each command to a log. Redis also supports trivial-to-setup master-slave replication, with very fast non-blocking first synchronization, auto-reconnection on net split and so forth. Other features include Transactions, Pub/Sub, Lua scripting, Keys with a limited time-to-live, and configuration settings to make Redis behave like a cache. You can use Redis from most programming languages also.
