TightVNC Security Hole

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical desktop-sharing system that uses the Remote Frame Buffer protocol (RFB) to remotely control another computer. It transmits the keyboard and mouse input from one computer to another, relaying the graphical-screen updates, over a network.[1]

VNC servers work on a variety of platforms, allowing you to share screens and keyboards between Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi devices. RDP server is proprietary and only works with one operating system. VNC vs RDP performance. RDP provides a better and faster remote connection.

There are a number of reasons why people use it.

 RDP requires licenses and VNC does not.
 You can also have multiple sessions on a user
 You can set it so it will connect to an existing session (which is what a lot folks use it for)
 It can be used on multiple OS’s including linux; while RDP is just for windows

There are a few VNC tools out there.

RealVNC

 They have enterprise version
 Requires Licenses
 Has no AD authentication
 Has decent Encryption

UltraVNC – Best one to use.

 Has AD authentication
 Has good Encryption
 AD authentication
 File transfer inside the VNC connection
 Multiuser connections and Existing
 Loads of features the others don’t have
 Is considered the most secure
 Free for personal and commercial use
 Available through chocolatey package manager

Tight-VNC – Security Hole

 Free
 Has encryption but its DES with an 8 character limit
 Available through chocolatey package manager

.

Tight-VNC has their encryption algorithm hardcoded into its software and appears they have NOT updated its encryption standards in years.

.

.

DES Encryption used

# This is hardcoded in VNC applications like TightVNC.

    $magicKey = [byte[]]@(0xE8, 0x4A, 0xD6, 0x60, 0xC4, 0x72, 0x1A, 0xE0)

    $ansi = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding(

        [System.Globalization.CultureInfo]::CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ANSICodePage)

.

    $pass = [System.Net.NetworkCredential]::new(, $Password).Password    

    $byteCount = $ansi.GetByteCount($pass)

    if ($byteCount gt 8) {

        $err = [System.Management.Automation.ErrorRecord]::new(

            [ArgumentException]‘Password must not exceed 8 characters’,

            PasswordTooLong,

            [System.Management.Automation.ErrorCategory]::InvalidArgument,

            $null)

        $PSCmdlet.WriteError($err)

        return

    }

.

    $toEncrypt = [byte[]]::new(8)

    $null = $ansi.GetBytes($pass, 0, $pass.Length, $toEncrypt, 0)

    

    $des = $encryptor = $null

    try {

        $des = [System.Security.Cryptography.DES]::Create()

        $des.Padding = ‘None’

        $encryptor = $des.CreateEncryptor($magicKey, [byte[]]::new(8))

.

        $data = [byte[]]::new(8)

        $null = $encryptor.TransformBlock($toEncrypt, 0, $toEncrypt.Length, $data, 0)

.

        , $data

    }

    finally {

        if ($encryptor) { $encryptor.Dispose() }

        if ($des) { $des.Dispose() }

    }

}

.

What this means is…IF you are using admin credentials on your machine while using Tight-VNC a hacker that is way better than I… Could gain access to your infrastructure by simply glimpsing the windows registry. Im sure there ways to exploit it.

I will demonstrate:

Now you can install Tight-vnc manually or via chocolatey. I used chocolatey and this from a public available repo.

.

.

Now lets set the password by right clicking tightvnc icon in the bottom corner and setting the password to an 8 character password, by clicking on change primary password and typing in whatever you like

‘Suck3r00’

Now lets open powershell without administrator privileges. Lets say I got in remotely and chocolatey is there and I want to check to see if tight-vnc is there.

As you can see I find this without administrator privilege.

.

Now lets say I was able to view the registry and get the encrypted value for tight-vnc; all I need to do is see for a few seconds.

.

.

Now there are tools online where you can convert that hexadecimal to binary decimal values long before AI was around. But since I love GPT im going to ask it to convert that for me

.

.

I have script that didn’t take long to put together from digging around for about an hour online. Which im obviously not going to share, BUT if I can do it……someone with skills could do pretty easy. A professional hacker NO SWEAT.

.

.As you can see if you have rolled this out how dangerous it is.

Having said that I have also written an Ansible Role which will purge tightvnc from your infrastructure and deploy ultravnc which will use encryption and AD authentication. Which the other two currently do NOT do.

.

Hope you enjoyed getting P0WNed.

How to Deploy VM’s in Hyper-V with Ansible

Thought it would be fun to do…..

If you can find another public repo that has it working online. Please send me a message so I can kick myself.

 This role will allow you to use a vhdx image to deploy vm’s in hyperv
 It will use the vm name to create a sub-folder to place the new vm image in
 It will configure the network switch
 It will setup the vlan tag/id and enable it
 It will also set the smart-paging file location to the destination path of the vm
 It will configure the OS network configuration
 It will power on the machine and wait for response successfully
 It can also remove vms
 You can also call the role with tags if you want…

.

How to use this role:

1.You must first download the git repository into your roles directory usually ansible/role/
2.Now you want edit the hosts.client file name file or create it if it doesn’t exist under your “ansible/inventory/dev:staging:prod” directory. This is a good way to separate environments with ansible, inside each environment you should have a hosts.file like indicated below.

Example file: hosts.dev, hosts.staging, hosts.prod

b.Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save
i.testmachine1.nicktailor.com ansible_host=192.168.1.101 (the ip is pointed to the hypervisor)

Note: If there is no group simply list the server outside grouping, the –limit flag will pick it

up.

3.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

c.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)
d.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.
e.Group_varsAre how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

4.Move inside host_var
f.cd host_var
g.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its testmachine1.nicktailor.com

.

5.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

h.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)
i.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.
j.Group_varsAre how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

6.Move inside host_var
k.cd host_var
l.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its testmachine1.nicktailor.com
m.add the following parameters to your inventory file and save.

passed parameters: example: inventory/host_vars/testmachine.nicktailor.com

vms:

  – type: testserver

    name: nicktest

.

    cpu: 2   

    memory: 4096MB

.

    network:

      ip: 192.168.23.26

      netmask: 255.255.255.0

      gateway: 192.168.23.254

      dns: 192.168.0.17,192.168.0.18

      

#    network_switch: ‘External Virtual Switch’

    network_switch: ‘Cisco VIC Ethernet Interface #6 – Virtual Switch’

    vlanid: 1113

.

#   source-image

    src_vhd: ‘Z:\volumes\devops\devopssysprep\devopssysprep.vhdx

.

#   destination will be created in Z:\\volumes\servername\servername.vhdx by default

#   to change the paths you need to update the prov_vm.yml’s first three task paths

.

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent directory always “ansible
2.Now there is a playbook called createvm.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the ansible-hyperv role inside the roles directory.

Example: of ansible/createvm.yml

name: Provision VM

  hosts: hypervdev.nicktailor.com

  gather_facts: no

.

  tasks:

    – import_tasks: roles/ansible-hyperv/tasks/prov_vm.yml

.

Command:

ansible-playbook –i inventory/dev/hosts createvm.ymllimit=’testmachine1.nicktailor.com

 -i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by environment like hosts.dev or hosts.staging
 -u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with
 -Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks
 -ask-beocme : is saying become root
 -limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

.

Successful example run of the book:

.

[ntailor@ansible-home ~]$ ansible-playbook –i inventory/hosts createvm.yml –limit=’testmachine1.nicktailor.com

How to Configure Redhat 7 & 8 Network Interfaces using Ansible

 This role will configure redhat 7 and up interfaces for virtual and physical.
(bonded nics, gateways, routes, interface names)

How to use this role:

1.You must first download the git repository into your roles directory usually ansible/role/
2.Now you want edit the hosts.client file name file or create it if it doesn’t exist under your “ansible/inventory/dev:staging:prod” directory. This is a good way to separate environments with ansible, inside each environment you should have a hosts.file like indicated below.

Example file: hosts.dev, hosts.staging, hosts.prod

c.Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save
d.testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.1.101

.

Cool Stuff: If you deployed a virtual-machine using the ansible-vmware modules it will set the hostname of the host using the same shortname of the vm. If you require the fqdn vs the shortname on the host. To solve this I added some code to set the fdqn as the new_hostname if you define it under you hosts.file as shown below.

e.testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.1.101 new_hostname=testmachine1.nicktailor.com

.

Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

f.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)
g.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.
h.Group_varsAre how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

3.Move inside host_var
i.cd host_var
j.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its testmachine1.nicktailor.com

.

4.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

k.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)
l.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.
m.Group_varsAre how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

5.Move inside host_var
n.cd host_var
o.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its testmachine1.nicktailor.com
p.add the following parameters to your inventory file and save.

passed parameters: example: var/testmachine1

#Configure network can be used on physical and virtual-machines

nic_devices:

    – device: ens192

      ip: 192.168.10.100

      nm: 255.255.255.0

      gw: 192.168.10.254

      uuid:

      mac:

..

Note: you do not need to specify the UUID, you can if you wish. You do need the MAC. if you are doing bonded nics on the hosts. If you are using physical machines with satellite deployments. Then its probably a good to idea to use the mac of the nic you want the dhcp request to hit to avoid accidently deploying to the wrong host. When dealing with physical machines you don’t really have the same forgiveness of snapshots or quickly rebuilding as a vm. You can do more complicated configurations as indicated below….You can always email or contact me via linkedin, top right of the blog if you need assistance.

More Advanced configurations: bonded nics, routes, multiple nics and gateways

bond_devices:

    – device: ens1

      mac: ec:0d:9a:05:3b:f0

      master: mgt

      eth_opts: ‘-C ${DEVICE} adaptive-rx off rx-usecs 0 rx-frames 0; -K ${DEVICE} lro off’

      master: mgt

      eth_opts: ‘-C ${DEVICE} adaptive-rx off rx-usecs 0 rx-frames 0; -K ${DEVICE} lro off’

    – device: mgt

      ip: 10.100.1.2

      nm: 255.255.255.0

      gw: 10.100.1.254

      master: app

    – device: app

      ip: 10.101.1.3

      nm: 255.255.255.0

      pr: ens6

routes:

    – device: app

      route:

        – 100.240.136.0/24

        – 100.240.138.0/24

.

    – device: app

      gw: 10.156.177.1

      route:

        – 10.156.148.0/24

.

.

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent directory always “ansible
2.Now there is a playbook called setup-networkonly.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the setup-redhat-interfaces role inside the roles directory.

Example: of ansible/ setup-networkonly.yml

hosts: all

  gather_facts: no

  roles:

   – role: setup-redhat-interfaces

.

Command:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/dev/hosts setup-networkonly.yml–limit=’testmachine1.nicktailor.com’

.

 -i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by environment like hosts.dev or hosts.staging
 -u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with
 -Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks
 -ask-beocme : is saying become root
 -limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

.

How to Join Windows Servers to your DC with Ansible

 This role will simply join a new windows server to the domain
 You simply need to define the passed parameters in defaults/main.yml indicated below
 This role will ask you for the domain admin password at runtime so you will need to know it. Don’t need to worry about vaulting the admin AD password in the code
 This role assume your windows host is already configured to use winrm

How to use this role:

1.You must first download the git repository into your roles directory usually ansible/role/
2.Now you want edit the hosts.client file name file or create it if it doesn’t exist under your “ansible/inventory/dev:staging:prod” directory. This is a good way to separate environments with ansible, inside each environment you should have a hosts.file like indicated below.

Example file: hosts.dev, hosts.staging, hosts.prod

c.Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save
i.Testmachine1.nicktailor.coml ansible_host=192.168.1.101

Note: If there is no group simply list the server outside grouping, the –limit flag will pick it

up.

3.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

d.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)
e.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.
f.Group_varsAre how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

4.Move inside host_var
g.cd host_var
h.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its testmachine1.nicktailor.com

.

5.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

i.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)
j.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.
k.Group_varsAre how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

6.Move inside host_var
l.cd host_var
m.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its testmachine1.nicktailor.com
n.add the following parameters to your inventory file and save.

passed parameters: example: roles/add-server-to-dc/default/main.yml

dns_domain_name: ad.nicktailor.com

computer_name: testmachine1

domain_ou_path: “OU=Admin,DC=nicktailor,DC=local”

domain_admin_user: adminuser@nicktailor.com

state: domain

.

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent directory always “ansible
2.Now there is a playbook called joinservertodomain.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the add-servers-to-dc role inside the roles directory.

Example: of ansible/joinservertodomain.yml

hosts: all

  gather_facts: no

  vars_prompt:

  – name: domain_pass

    prompt: Enter Admin Domain Password

  roles:

    – role: addservers-todc

.

Command:

ansible-playbook –i inventory/dev/hosts joinservertodomain.ymllimit=’testmachine1.nicktailor.com

 -i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by environment like hosts.dev or hosts.staging
 -u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with
 -Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks
 -ask-beocme : is saying become root
 -limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

.

How to deploy OpenNebula Frontends via Ansible

Frontend: This role deploys the OpenNebula Cloud platform frontends via Ansible

Ansible Operational Documentation – OpenNebula Frontend Deployments

https://opennebula.io/ – OpenNebula is basically a opensource inhouse cloud platform that you can deploy and manage virtual machines using a kvm backend on the host which is scalable. OpenNebula support give you a document to run manual commands, and would not provide the opensource playbook they use to deploy frontends.

So I reverse engineered one for others to use and edit as needed. As nobody runs commands manually anymore. If you are not automating then you are basically a dinosaur

Note: You will still need to buy your own enterprise license to get access to the apt source. You can find that below and you can plug those into defaults/main.yml before you run the book.

This role handles the following when deploying OpenNebula Frontends in standalone or HA using groups to distinguish how to deploy in scale using apache.

 Apache.yml – separate task that independently deploys apache and the configutation. This is so if you simply if wanted to run rerun the apache configuration with a new domain, you don’t need to rerun the whole book.
 Mysql.yml – this task uses a custom python library that is not apart of native ansible, located in side the library folder and handles the following
It deploys mysql
It changes the root password
Removes_anonymous_user
Disables_root_login_remotely
Removes the testdb
It will create the database, user, and grantpermission for new the new database
 Main.yml – This is the primary task that deploys the ON frontend
Install depenancies for ON
Imports the keys for Ubuntu, phusionpassenger, ON
Install and configures mysql (using custom python library)
Install and configures apache for ON
Configures sunstone.conf
Configures oned.conf
Is able to distinguish between standalone and HA setup
Copies ssh keys for ON to secondary FE’s
Copies rafthook scripts to secondary FE’s
Adds primary server to ON zone
Updates zone endpoint
Backups up primary mysql db and copies to secondary nodes in HA
Setups up federation configuration if defined
Stop and starts services at specific times during the installation for everything to work correctly. (super important) do not change the order without reviewing

How to use this role:

1.You must first download the git repository
b.git clone git@github.com:Perfect10NickTailor/opennebula-frontends.git
2.Under your user you will see a directory called opennebula-frontends cd into this directory
c.cd opennebula-frontends
3.Move inside the inventory directory to the appropriate client directory
a.Create a file called hosts.opennebula
4.Now you want edit the {{ hosts.opennebula }} file name file or create it if it doesn’t exist

Example file: hosts.opennebula

d.Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save

Example: This is how you would list out 3 frontend hosts

[all:children]

frontend_server_primary # this is where you list ON server number 1

mysql_servers – you list any server that will require mysql install for ON

apache_servers – you list any server that will be running ON apache

frontend_HA – you list any additional front ends that will be used in HA here for OpenNebula

.

[frontend_server_primary]

Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.86.61

.

[mysql_servers]

Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.86.61

Testmachine2 ansible_host=192.168.86.62

#Testmachine3 ansibel_host=192.168.86.63

[apache_servers]

Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.86.61

Testmachine2 ansible_host=192.168.86.62

#Testmachine3 ansibel_host=192.168.86.63

.

[frontend_HA]

Testmachine2 ansible_host=192.168.86.62

#Testmachine3 ansible_host=192.168.86.63

.

Note: For a standalone setup you simply list the same host under the following 3 groups listed below and then in your command under –limt=”testmachine1” instead of ‘testmachine1,testmachine2′. The playbook is smart enough to know what to do from there.

[frontend_server_primary]

Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.86.63

[mysql_servers]

Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.86.63

[apache_servers]

Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.86.63

Special Notes: This playbook is designed so you can choose deploy ON in standalone, in classic centralised mysql(HA), or OpenNebula HA(with mysql deploy individually with rafthook configuration.

We will be deploying the OpenNebula officially supported way.
Although no senior architect would usually choose this approach over classic mysql HA(active/passive), we followed it anyway.

Important things to know:

Group variables for this role that are passed and need to be defined below. If you want to change certificates and configure mysql it has to be done in these group vars for this role to work. You will need to create opennebula ssl keys for the vnc console stuff to work, they are not provided by this playbook.

Dev/group_vars:

Frontend_server_primary

session_memcache: memcache

vnc_proxy_support_wss: true

vnc_proxy_cert_path: /etc/ssl/certs/opennebula.pem

vnc_proxy_key_path: /etc/ssl/private/opennebula.key

vnc_proxy_ipv6: false

vnc_request_password: false

driver: qcow2

.

Frontend_HA

#If these are defined HA setup is pushed.

#It Adds VIP hooks for floating IP and federation server ID:

#these variables can be overidden at at the host_var level.

#If host is listed under frontend_HA group in your host

#then these defaults will be used

.

leader_interface_name: enp0s8

leader_ip: 192.168.50.132/24

follower_ip: 192.168.50.132/24

follower_interface_name: enp0s8

.

Mysql_servers

OpenNebula Mysql Installation

mysqlrootuser: root

mysqlnewinstallpassword: Swordfish123

mysql_admin_user: admin    

mysql_admin_password: admin

database_to_create: opennebula

.

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent directory of ansible”
2.There is a file called commands.txt with references to help you format your command quickly.
3.Now there is a playbook called ON-frontenddeploly.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the opennebula-frontends role inside the roles directory.

Example: of opennebula-frontend/ON-frontenddeploy.yml

hosts: all

  become: True

  become_user: root

  gather_facts: no

  roles:

    – role: opennebula-frontend

.

Command: Running – playbook to deploy OpenNebula in HA

ansible-playbook -i inventory/dev/hosts ON-frontenddeploy.yml -u brucewayne -Kkb –ask-become –limit=’testmachine1,testmachine2′

Command: Running – playbook to deploy OpenNebula in Standalone

ansible-playbook -i inventory/dev/hosts ON-frontenddeploy.yml -u brucewayne -Kkb –ask-become –limit=’testmachine1′

.

-i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by customer like hosts.opennebla2  
-u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with
-Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks
-ask-beocme : is saying become root
-limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

.

How to deploy windows firewall rules with Ansible

 This role enable the windows firewall for all 3 profiles (Domain, Private, Public)
 You can deploy rules via profile or globally using defaults, group_vars and host_vars
 You also can set outbound rules for windows programs

How to use this role:

1.You must first download the git repository into your roles directory usually ansible/role/
2.Now you want edit the hosts.client file name file or create it if it doesn’t exist under your “ansible/inventory/dev:staging:prod” directory. This is a good way to separate environments with ansible, inside each environment you should have a hosts.file like indicated below.

Example file: hosts.dev, hosts.staging, hosts.prod

b.Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save
i.devops.nicktailor.win ansible_host=192.168.90.10

Note: If there is no group simply list the server outside grouping, the –limit flag will pick it

up.

3.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Note: If you do not create a group_var/groupfile or host_var/server file. Then the default/main.yml rules are implemented by this role, you can update this file to have whichever defaults you like and they can be overridden at the group_var and host_var level, should you need to.

Descriptions:

c.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)
d.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.
e.Group_varsAre how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

4.Move inside host_var
f.cd host_var
g.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its devops.nicktailor.win

.

5.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

h.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)
i.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.
j.Group_varsAre how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

6.Move inside host_var
k.cd host_var
l.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its devops.nicktailor.win

Okay now here is where VSC is handy. You want to connect your visual studio code to the management server under your user. I have provided a link which shows you how to setup your keys and get VSC working with it.

.

Note: You don’t have to use VSC you can use good old nano or vim, but it’s a pain. Up to you.

.

defaults/main.yml – this file is the default rules it will apply if you do not add any other rules currently

# defaults file for windows_firewall

win_fw_prefix: “Ansible-Created-Rule”

.

win_fw_ports_allow_in:

  – localport: 53,

    profile: public

.

  – localport: 123,

    profile: public

.

win_fw_web_ports:

  – localport: 80,

    profile: public

.

  – localport: 443,

    profile: public

.

  – localport: 8080,

    profile: public

    

win_fw_program_allowed_web_out_public:

  – ‘microsoftupdate.exe’

..

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent directory always “ansible
2.Now there is a playbook called nickfirewall.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the windows-firewall role inside the roles directory.

Example: of ansible/ nickfirewall.yml

hosts: all

  gather_facts: yes

  any_errors_fatal: true

  roles:

    – role: ansible-windows-firewall

.

Command:

ansible-playbook –i inventory/dev/hosts nickfirewall.yml limit=’devops.nicktailor.win

 -i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by environment like hosts.dev or hosts.staging
 -u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with
 -Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks
 -ask-beocme : is saying become root
 -limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

.

Successful example run of the book:

.

[aflred@batcave.ansible]$ ansible-playbook –i hosts/dev nickfirewall.yml –limit=’devops.nicktailor.win

How to deploy multiple sites in IIS with Ansible

This was fun and interesting little project. Looks like nobody ever really got it working properly, so I decided to do it.

 This role will install IIS if its not already installed
      It will also configure all the user permissions needed for IIS
 It will configure a default application pool
 This role will allow you to call the ansible role once and create multiple sites in IIS and attach the sites to the default application pool
 It will also configure the bindings
You can also remove, start, and stop sites

You can also upload your own custom web.config

Additions that are not in any public repo online currently. If you require these additions for your organisation, you may hire or pay for the additions:
  • Ability to create multiple application pools per site.
  • Set application pool identities
  • Update IIS site paths to use a NAS location vs physical paths only

Note: You will likely have to add the firewall rules depending on how your network setup. I have written a windows playbook to handle the firewall stuff, but that will be in another post. You will also need to ensure winrm is configured properly on the windows machine for ansible to talk to it.

Ansible Operational Documentation:

1.You must first download the git repository into your roles directory usually ansible/role/
2.Now you want to edit the hosts.client file name file or create it if it doesn’t exist under your “ansible/inventory/dev:staging:prod” directory. This is a good way to separate environments with ansible, inside each environment you should have a hosts.file like indicated below.

Example file: hosts.dev, hosts.staging, hosts.prod

b.Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save
i.devops.nicktailor.win ansible_host=192.168.90.10

Note: If there is no group simply list the server outside grouping, the –limit flag will pick it

up.

3.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

c.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)
d.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.
e.Group_varsAre how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

4.Move inside host_var
f.cd host_var
g.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its devops.nicktailor.win

.

5.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

h.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)
i.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.
j.Group_varsAre how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

6.Move inside host_var
k.cd host_var
l.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its devops.nicktailor.win

Okay now here is where VSC is handy. You want to connect your visual studio code to the management server under your user. 

.

Note: You don’t have to use VSC you can use good old nano or vim, but it’s a pain. Up to you.

.

Example files:

ansible/inventory/dev/host_vars/devops.nicktailor.win

Example Yaml Block :

.

domains:

  – name: “First website”

    host_header:

    ip: ‘*’

    iis_binding_port: ‘8082’

    protocol: ‘http’

    state: ‘absent’

    certificate_hash:

    certificate_store_name: ‘My’

    iis_site_name: ‘Default Web Site’

    iis_site_path: ‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot1′

    iis_acl_path:  ‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot1′

    iis_site_state: absent

    iis_site_port: ’80’

    iis_site_id:

    iis_site_ip: ‘*’

    iis_site_ssl: false

    iis_site_hostname: ‘*’

    iis_site_parameters:

    iis_site_state_start: stopped

    iis_site_web_config:

    iis_site_web_config_force: true

.

  – name: “Second website”

    host_header:

    ip: ‘*’

    iis_binding_port: ‘8081’

    protocol: ‘http’

    state: ‘present’

    certificate_hash:

    certificate_store_name: ‘My’

    iis_site_name: ‘site2’

    iis_acl_path: ‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot2′

    iis_site_path: ‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot2′

    iis_site_state: present

    iis_site_port: ’80’

    iis_site_id:

    iis_site_ip: ‘*’

    iis_site_ssl: false

    iis_site_hostname: ‘*’

    iis_site_parameters:

    iis_site_state_start: started

    iis_site_web_config:

    iis_site_web_config_force: true

.

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent directory always “ansible
2.Now there is a playbook called nickwiniis.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the ansible-role-win-iis role inside the roles directory.

Example: of ansible/nickwiniis.yml

hosts: all

  gather_facts: yes

  any_errors_fatal: true

  roles:

    – role: ansible-role-win-iis

.

Command:

ansible-playbook –i inventory/dev/hosts nickwiniis.yml -u nick –Kkb –limit=’devops.nicktailor.win

 -i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by environment like hosts.dev or hosts.staging
 -u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with
 -Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks
 -ask-beocme : is saying become root
 -limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

.

Successful example run of the book:

.

[ntailor@ansible.nicktailor.com]$ ansibleplaybooki hosts/dev nickwiniis.ymllimit=devops.nicktailor.win

How to pass an API key with Ansible

https://chronosphere.io/ – Third Party Cloud Monitoring Solution

Chronocollector: – https://github.com/Perfect10NickTailor/chronocollector

This role deploys the chronocollector management service which sends the data to domain.chronosphere.io For those of you who don’t know what it is. Its basically a cloud monitoring tool that scrapes data on your instances and then you can create dashboards or even export the data to promethus to make it look pretty and easy to read. You will likely pay for subscription, they will give you a subdomain which becomes your gateway address (domain.chronosphere.io)

Special note: You then need to deploy the node_exporter to push to the hosts you want scraped. That is a separate playbook and stupid easy.

This role will download the latest collector
It will install the latest collector
It will check to see if the ‘service’ its added to systemd, if nots.. adds it, if the service is there, it will move on and simply start the service.

#nowthatsjustfunny: So its debatable on how to approach passing {{ api_keys }} in a scalable and secure way. A lot of people create an “ansible vault encrypted variable”. This is so that when they push their code to their git repos. The {{ api_key }} isn’t exposed to someone simply glancing by the code. The issue with this approach is now you have to remember a vault password to pass to ansible, so it can decrypt the {{ api_key }} to pass, inorder for it to work when you run the playbook.(LAME)

.

#nowthatsjustcool: So just for the purposes of this post and for fun. I wrote it so that you can simply pass the {{ api_key }} during runtime. This way instead of being prompted for the vault-pass, you are prompted for the api_key to pass as a variable when you run the book. This gets rid of the need to setup a encrypted variable in your code entirely. Everyone has their own way of doing things, but I tend to think outside the box, so it always way more fun to be different in how you think.

Ansible Operational Documentation

How to use this role:

1.You must first download the git repository
a.git clone git@github.com:Perfect10NickTailor/chronocollector.git
2.Under your user you will see a directory called chronocollector cd into this directory here you will see the defaults/main.yml where you can see what you can pass to groups_vars & host_vars
b.cd chronocollector

.

3.Next you want edit the hosts.client inside your ansible/inventory/dev/hosts.client

Example file: hosts.dev or hosts.staging

c.Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save
i.Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.60.10

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent ansible directory

.

2.Now there is a playbook called chronocollector.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the chronocollector role inside the ansible/roles/chronocollector directory, where the role should be living.

Example: of ansible/chronocollector.yml

hosts: all

  gather_facts: no

  vars_prompt:

  – name: api_key

    prompt: Enter the API key

  roles:

    – role: chronocollector

.

Command:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/dev/hosts.dev chronocollector.yml -u nickadmin -Kkb –ask-become –limit=’testmachine3′

-i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by customer like hosts.dev or hosts.staging
-u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with
-Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks
-ask-beocme : is saying become root
-limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

.

Successful run:

.

Notice: It asks you for the API key at runtime.

ntailor@jumphost:~/ansible2$ ansible-playbook -i ansible/inventory/dev/hosts.dev chronocollector.yml -u nicktadmin -Kkb –ask-become –limit=’testmachine3′

SSH password:

BECOME password[defaults to SSH password]:

Enter the API key:

How to deploy Netplan with Ansible

Ansible-Netplan: – https://github.com/Perfect10NickTailor/ansible-netplan

This role will push out the config to the designated host and apply it
It will make a backup of the previous config before applying the new config, this is just incase your config change had an yaml error and you need to quickly go in and revert back.
There is a defaults/main.yml file that all the flags and how to use them.

.

Netplan.io- what is it is? Basically yaml files to deploy network configurations in a scalable manner by Ubuntu

How to use this role:

1.You must first download the git repository into your roles directory usually ansible/role/

.

2.Now you want edit the hosts.client file name file or create it if it doesn’t exist under your “ansible/inventory/dev:staging:prod” directory. This is a good way to separate environments with ansible, inside each environment you should have a hosts.file like indicated below.

Example file: hosts.dev, hosts.staging, hosts.prod

Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save
i.Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.90.10

Note: If there is no group simply list the server outside grouping, the –limit flag will pick it

up.

3.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)
Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.
Group_vars – Are how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

4.Move inside host_var
cd host_var
create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its testmachine1

Okay now here is where VSC is handy. You want to connect your visual studio code to the management server under your user. I have provided a link which shows you how to setup your keys and get VSC working with it.

.

Note: You don’t have to use VSC you can use good old nano or vim, but it’s a pain. Up to you.

https://medium.com/@sujaypillai/connect-to-your-remote-servers-from-visual-studio-code-eb5a5875e348

.

.

5.Now Netplans can be simple or very complicated. Ansible-netplan is broken up into segments that look for these variables to pass.
Network, vlans, ethernets, bridges & bonds

.

6.Now my advice is not to copy the block from this document and to copy download the repo open in visual studio and copy it there.

.

Example files:

ansible/inventory/dev/host_var$ testmachine1 (with Bonding)

 

.

Example Yaml Block :

# testmachine1 netplan config

# This is the network for testmachine1 with network bonding

netplan_configuration:

    network:

      bonds:

        bond0:

          interfaces:

          – ens1f0

          – ens1f1

          parameters:

            mode: balance-rr

      ethernets:

        eno1:

          dhcp4: false

        eno2:

          dhcp4: false

        ens1f0: {}

        ens1f1: {}

      version: 2

.

      vlans:

        vlan.180:

          id: 180

          link: bond0

        #  dhcp4: false

        #  dhcp6: false

        vlan.3200:

          id: 3200

          link: bond0

        #  dhcp4: false

        #  dhcp6: false

        vlan.3300:

          id: 3300

          link: bond0

        #  dhcp4: false

        #  dhcp6: false

.

      bridges:

        br200:

          interfaces: [ vlan.200 ]

          addresses: [ 192.168.50.9/24 ]

          gateway4: 192.168.50.1

          nameservers:

                  addresses: [ 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.8 ]

                  search: [ nicktailor.com ]        

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

        br3000:

          interfaces: [ vlan.3000 ]

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

        br3200:

          interfaces: [ vlan.3200 ]

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

.

Example files:
ansible/inventory/dev/host_var$ testmachine1 (without Bonding)

.

Example Yaml Block :

#testmachine1

netplan_configuration:

    network:

      version: 2

      renderer: networkd

      ethernets:

        eno1:

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

        eno2:

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

.

      bridges:

        br0:

          interfaces: [ eno1 ]

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

        br1:

          interfaces: [ eno2 ]

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

        br1110:

          interfaces: [ vlan1110 ]

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

          addresses: [ 172.16.52.10/26 ]

          gateway4: 172.17.52.1

          nameservers:

                  addresses: [ 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.8 ]

.

        br600:

          interfaces: [ vlan600 ]

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

          addresses: [ 192.168.0.34/24 ]

        br800:

          interfaces: [ vlan800 ]

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

        br802:

          interfaces: [ vlan802 ]

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

        br801:

          interfaces: [ vlan801 ]

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

.

      vlans:

        vlan600:

          id: 600

          link: br0

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

        vlan800:

          id: 800

          link: br1

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false

        vlan801:

          id: 801

          link: br1

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false          

        vlan802:

          id: 802

          link: br1

          dhcp4: false

          dhcp6: false  

          

.

.

8.You must now edit the the appropriate lines and save the file
vlans, ethernets, blond, addresses, & bridges

.

9.Once saved you want to run the playbook against a test server before you push the code into the git repository. So it good to have a test vm to run your code against first.

.

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent directory always “ansible
2.Now create a playbook called deploynetplan.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the ansible-netplan role inside the roles directory.

Example: of ansible/deploynetplan.yml

hosts: all

  gather_facts: yes

  any_errors_fatal: true

  roles:

    – role: ansible-netplan

      netplan_enabled: true

.

Command:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/dev/hosts deploynetplan.yml -u nickadmin -Kkb –ask-become –limit=’testmachine1′

-i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by environment like hosts.dev or hosts.staging  
-u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with
-Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks
-ask-beocme : is saying become root
-limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

.

Successful example run with bonding:

.

ntailor@KVMtestbox:~/ansible$ ansibleplaybooki inventory/dev/hosts deploynetplan.ymlu nickadminKkbaskbecomelimit=‘testmachine1’

SSH password:

BECOME password[defaults to SSH password]:
