After the system has installed a README file will be generated which contains passwords and some brief advice on using the installed systems. You can read this with the following commands:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="org-src-container">
|
|
|
|
<pre class="src src-bash">ssh username@domainname -p 2222
|
|
emacs ~/README
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You should transfer any passwords to a password manager such as <a href="http://www.keepassx.org/">KeepassX</a> and then delete them from the README file. To save the file after removing passwords use <b>CTRL-x CTRL-s</b>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To exit you can either just close the terminal or use <b>CTRL-x CTRL-c</b> followed by the <b>exit</b> command.

<h2 id="sec-2"><span class="section-number-2">2</span> Improving ssh security</h2>
|
|
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-2">
|
|
<p>
|
|
To improve ssh security you can generate an ssh key pair on your system and then upload the public key to the Freedombone.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
On your local machine:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="org-src-container">
|
|
|
|
<pre class="src src-bash">ssh-keygen
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For extra security you may also want to add a passphrase to the ssh private key. You can show the generated public key with:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="org-src-container">
|
|
|
|
<pre class="src src-bash">cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Copy the contents of <b>~/.ssh/id_rsa</b> and <b>~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub</b> to you password manager, together with the private key password if you created one.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
ssh to the Freedombone and edit the authorized keys:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="org-src-container">
|
|
|
|
<pre class="src src-bash">ssh username@domain -p 2222
|
|
emacs ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Now copy and paste the contents of <b>id_rsa.pub</b> into the authorized_keys file. Save the file and exit. Open another terminal window and try logging in again and you should notice that you are no longer asked for a password, because the ssh key is used instead.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are advantages and disadvantages to using ssh keys for logins. The advantage is that this is much more secure than a memorised password, but the disadvantage is that you need to carry your ssh keys around and be able to install them on any computer of mobile device that you use. In high security or hostile infosec environments it may not be possible to carry or use USB thumb drives containing your keys and so memorised passwords may be the only available choice.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you wish to only use ssh keys then log in to the Freedombone and edit <b>/etc/ssh/sshd_config</b>, then change <b>PasswordAuthentication</b> to "no", save and run <b>service ssh restart</b>. Any subsequent attempts to log in via a password will then be denied.

Port 465 is used for SMTP and this is supposedly deprecated for secure email. However, using TLS from the start of the communications seems far more secure than starting off with insecure communications and then trying to upgrade it with a command to begin TLS, as happens with STARTTLS. There are <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/11/starttls-downgrade-attacks">possible attacks against STARTTLS</a> in which the command to begin secure communications is removed or overwritten which could then result in email being transferred in plain text over the internet and be readable by third parties.

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-3-2">
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you didn't use existing GPG keys during the Freedombone installation then you'll need to add a password to your newly generated private key. This is highly recommended. Go through the following sequence of commands to ssh into the Freedombone and then change your GPG password.
|
|
</p>
|
|

|
<div class="org-src-container">

Having a password on your GPG key will prevent someone from reading your email <i>even if your server gets lost or stolen</i> or if someone else has physical access to it. Make the password something long and unlikely to be guessable or vulnerable to a brute force <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary_attack">dictionary attack</a>.

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-3-4">
|

<p>
|
|
Mutt is a terminal based email client which comes already installed onto the Freedombone. To access it you'll need to access it via ssh with:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="org-src-container">
|
|
|
|
<pre class="src src-bash">ssh username@domainname -p 2222
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you're using Windows there is an ssh client called putty, on Linux just open a terminal and enter the above command with your username and domain name. On Android you can use the ConnectBot app with the hostname <b>username@domain:2222</b>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once you have logged in via ssh then just type <b>mutt</b>. Like most terminal programs mutt is quite easy once you've learned the main keys.

To use the address book system open an email by pressing the enter key on it and then to add the sender to the address list press the A key. It will ask you for an alias which may be used the next time you want to send a mail. Alternatively you may just edit the <b>~/.mutt-alias</b> file directly to add email addresses.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
One of the most common things which you might wish to do is to send an email. To do this first press <i>m</i> to create a new message. Enter the address to send to and the subject, then after a few seconds the Emacs editor will appear with a blank document. Type your email then press <i>CTRL-x CTRL-s</i> to save it and <i>CTRL-x CTRL-c</i> to exit. You will then see a summary of the email to be sent out. Press <i>y</i> to send it and then enter your GPG key passphrase (the one you gave when creating a PGP/GPG key). The purpose of that is to add a signature which is a strong proof that the email was written by you and not by someone else.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When reading emails you will initially need to enter your GPG password. It will be retained in RAM for a while afterwards.

Get into the habit of using email encryption and encourage others to do so.

If you want to set up a public mailing list then when installing the system remember to set the <b>PUBLIC_MAILING_LIST</b> variable within <b>freedombone.cfg</b> to the name of your list. The name should have no spaces in it. Public mailing lists are unencrypted so anyone will be able to read the contents, including non subscribers.
|

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To subscribe to your list send a cleartext email to:

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-6-1">

<p>
|
|
An easy way to play music on any mobile device in your home is to use the DLNA service. Copy your music into a directory called "<i>Music</i>" on a USB thumb drive and then insert it into from socket on the Beaglebone.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
ssh into the system with:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="org-src-container">
|
|
|
|
<pre class="src src-bash">ssh myusername@mydomain.com -p 2222
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then mount the USB drive with:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="org-src-container">
|
|
|
|
<pre class="src src-bash">su
|
|
attach-music
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The system will scan the Music directory, which could take a while if there are thousands of files, but you don't need to do anything further with the Beaglebone other than perhaps to log out by typing <b>exit</b> a couple of times.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you have an Android device then go to F-Droid (if you don't already have it installed then it can be <a href="https://f-droid.org/">downloaded here</a>) and search for <b>ControlDLNA</b>. On running the app you should see a red Debian icon which you can press on, then you may need to select "local". After a few seconds the list of albums or tracks should then appear and you can browse and play them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The DLNA service will only work within your local home network, and isn't remotely accessible from other locations via the internet. That can be both a good and a bad thing. Another consideration is that there are no access controls on DLNA services, so any music or videos on the USB drive will be playable by anyone within your home network. If you need to restrict access to certain files then it may be better to use the music player within Owncloud.

|

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-6-2">
|
|
<p>
|
|
The main advantage of playing music via Owncloud is that you can do that from anywhere - not only within your home network.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
By default a music player is installed into Owncloud, so all you need to do is to visit your Owncloud web site, select the <b>music</b> directory and then upload some music files. Afterwards you can select the <b>music icon</b> from the top left drop down menu and albums will then appear which can be played. If you want to share music with other users then you can select the <b>share</b> option from within the files view to make the tracks available.

You will need to have a non self-signed SSL certificate in order to use Red Matrix. Put the public certificate in <b>/etc/ssl/certs/yourredmatrixdomainname.crt</b> and the private certificate in <b>/etc/ssl/private/yourredmatrixdomainname.key</b>. If there is an intermediate certificate needed (such as with StartSSL) then this will need to be concatenated onto the end of the crt file, like this:

|
|
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-9-2-2">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Jitsi is the recommended communications client for desktop or laptop systems, since it includes the <i>off the record</i> (OTR) feature which provides some additional security beyond the usual SSL certificates.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Jitsi can be downloaded from <a href="https://jitsi.org">https://jitsi.org</a>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
On your desktop/laptop open Jitsi and select <b>Options</b> from the <b>Tools</b> menu.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Click <b>Add</b> to add a new user, then enter the Jabber ID which you previously specified with <i>prosodyctl</i> when setting up the XMPP server. Close and then you should notice that your status is "Online" (or if not then you should be able to set it to online).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
From the <b>File</b> menu you can add contacts, then select the chat icon to begin a chat. Click on the lock icon on the right hand side and this will initiate an authentication procedure in which you can specify a question and answer to verify the identity of the person you're communicating with. Once authentication is complete then you'll be chating using OTR, which provides an additional layer of security.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When opening Jitsi initially you will get a certificate warning for your domain name (assuming that you're using a self-signed certificate). If this happens then select <b>View Certificate</b> and enable the checkbox to trust the certificate, then select <b>Continue Anyway</b>. Once you've done this then the certificate warning will not appear again unless you reinstall Jitsi or use a different computer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can also <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgx7VSrDGjk">see this video</a> as an example of using OTR.

The default XMPP client in Ubuntu is Empathy. Using Empathy isn't as secure as using Jitsi, since it doesn't include the <i>off the record</i> feature, but since it's the default it's what many users will have easy access to.

Open <b>System Settings</b> and select <b>Online Accounts</b>, <b>Add account</b> and then <b>Jabber</b>.

Enter your username (username@domainname) and password.

</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Click on <b>Advanced</b> and make sure that <b>Encryption required</b> and <b>Ignore SSL certificate errors</b> are checked.

Go back to the initial screen and then using the menu you can add contacts and begin chatting. Both parties will need to go through the off-the-record question and answer verification before the chat can begin, but that only needs to be done once for each person you're chatting with.
