Fedora 25: First test with clamav antivirus.

This is a short tutorial about how to use ClamAV antivirus on Fedora 25.
First, you need to install it with this commands:

[root@localhost mythcat]# dnf install clamav.x86_64 
...

[root@localhost mythcat]# dnf install clamav-update.x86_64
...

Make settings into your /etc/freshclam.conf file. I used awk tool to show you my settings from /etc/freshclam.conf:

[root@localhost mythcat]# awk -F: '/^[^#]/ { print $1 }' /etc/freshclam.conf | uniq

DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
UpdateLogFile /var/log/freshclam.log
LogFileMaxSize 2M
LogTime yes
LogVerbose yes
LogSyslog yes
LogFacility LOG_MAIL
LogRotate yes
DatabaseOwner clamupdate
DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
MaxAttempts 5
ScriptedUpdates yes
DetectionStatsCountry country-code
SafeBrowsing yes

Update the ClamAV antivirus with :

[root@localhost mythcat]# /usr/bin/freshclam

Now you can run it on Fedora 25 folder with this.

[root@localhost mythcat]# clamscan

This tool comes with many options and features for Fedora workstations and server. Just read the documentation and make your changes. To check all files on the computer, but only display infected files and ring a bell when found:

clamscan -r --bell -i /

To check files in the all users home directories:

clamscan -r /home

If you got this error:

LibClamAV Warning: fmap_readpage: pread fail: ...

Then this comes from sysfs and is a virtual file system provided by the Linux kernel and need to be excluded with this arg:

--exclude-dir="^/sys"

--exclude-dir=^/sys  --exclude-dir=^/dev --exclude-dir=^/proc

My result of scan ( the file FOUND is not a virus) :

QEMU - Devil Linux on Fedora 25.

QEMU (short for Quick Emulator) is a free and open-source hosted hypervisor that performs hardware virtualization QEMU is a hosted virtual machine monitor. You can install this software using dnf tool.

dnf install qemu.x86_64

You can use any iso image from internet to run and test your distro linux. Just use this command:
I tested with Devil Linux iso without network ( the main reason was the settings of Devil Linux distro).

qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -cdrom ~/devil-linux-1.8.0-rc2-x86_64/bootcd.iso --enable-kvm -m 2048
 -netdev user,id=user.0

Some args of qemu tool:
- qemu-system-x86_64 is the option for x86 architecture (64 bit);
- boot and -d set options for booting and debug;
- the -cdrom option set the iso file path and file;
- the --enable-kvm enable Kernel Virtual Machine;
- the -m 2048 set memory;
- the -netdev user,id=user.0 that tells us about qemu to use the user mode network stack which requires no administrator privilege to run;
About QEMU VLAN.
QEMU networking uses a networking technology that is like VLAN. The QEMU forward packets to guest operating systems that are on the same VLAN. Examples with qemu-kvm options:

-net nic,model=virtio,vlan=0,macaddr=00:16:3e:00:01:01 
-net tap,vlan=0,script=/root/ifup-br0,downscript=/root/ifdown-br0 
-net nic,model=virtio,vlan=1,macaddr=00:16:3e:00:01:02 
-net tap,vlan=1,script=/root/ifup-br1,downscript=/root/ifdown-br1

- net nic command defines a network adapter in the guest operating system. - net tap command defines how QEMU configures the host. You can disabling networking entirely:

-net none

The ScreenFetch tool with Fedora 25 .

ScreenFetch is a System Information Tool designed primarily for Bash Shell but function with other shell environment as well. The tool is smart enough to auto-detect the Linux distribution you are using and generate the ASCII logo of the distribution with certain valuable information to the right of logo.
Let's see my ScreenFetch:

Fedora: telnet game - BatMUD.

This is a good game if you have a telnet and internet connection.
Just open your terminal, run the telnet command and type o to open this: batmud.bat.org 23.
The game has an official website.
The team tells us about this game:

What is BatMUD - scratching the surface

One could go on and rant for hours and hours about the Game. If you're not familiar with BatMUD, don't worry - you won't even be after the first week of playing. The game's not easy, it was never intended to be. The first eyeful can be deceiving, especially as we live in the fully graphical world of commercially produced, hundred-million dollar budget behemoths. Our game, it's nothing like that; even though we tend to boast that it is more, and trust us - it is. A problem with the modern day games is that, eventually they become very dull or simply uninspiring. However, BatMUD's text-based approach it is different, somewhat to as reading a good book - it's all about your imagination. Hundreds of volunteer developers through the Decades have brought a special uniqueness to the Game, and new ones continue the Legacy to this day. We cater to almost everyone: the available options and playstyles are basically endless. It's Your Realm.

Fedora 25: The perf linux tool.

If you want a good tool to test your performance under Fedora 25 distro or linux then the perf tool is great.
You can read a full tutorial from perf wiki and that will give a good impression on this utility.
The main problem come when you need to understand why we have to use this utility in linux.
Intro A trivial use the top command will show you the necessary information about your Linux.
If you look closely you will notice that : load average: 0.09, 0.05, 0.01
The three numbers represent averages over progressively longer periods of time (one, five, and fifteen minute averages). This means for us: that lower numbers are better and the higher numbers represent a problem or an overloaded machine. Now about multicore and multiprocessor the rule is simple: the total number of cores is what matters, regardless of how many physical processors those cores are spread across. Let's use this command: First I will record some data about my CPU:

[mythcat@localhost ~]$ perf record -e cpu-clock -ag 
Error:
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.

Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
which controls use of the performance events system by
unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

The current value is 2:

  -1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
>= 0: Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_IOC_LOCK
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
[mythcat@localhost ~]$ su 
Password: 
[root@localhost mythcat]# perf record -e cpu-clock -ag 
^C[ perf record: Woken up 17 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 5.409 MB perf.data (38518 samples) ]

[root@localhost mythcat]# ls -l perf.data
-rw-------. 1 mythcat mythcat 5683180 Feb 21 13:24 perf.data

You can see the perf tool working with root account and result is owned by deafult user. Let's show this data using the default user - mythcat and perf tool:
[mythcat@localhost ~]$ perf report
The result of this command:

You can use the full list events by using this command:

[mythcat@localhost ~]$ perf list 

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  branch-instructions OR branches                    [Hardware event]
  branch-misses                                      [Hardware event]
  bus-cycles                                         [Hardware event]
  cache-misses                                       [Hardware event]
  cache-references                                   [Hardware event]
  cpu-cycles OR cycles                               [Hardware event]
  instructions                                       [Hardware event]
  ref-cycles                                         [Hardware event]

  alignment-faults                                   [Software event]
  bpf-output                                         [Software event]
  context-switches OR cs                             [Software event]
  cpu-clock                                          [Software event]
  cpu-migrations OR migrations                       [Software event]
  dummy                                              [Software event]
  emulation-faults                                   [Software event]
  major-faults                                       [Software event]
  minor-faults                                       [Software event]
  page-faults OR faults                              [Software event]
  task-clock                                         [Software event]

Let's see one event from this list and that will told us how Fedora working:

[root@localhost mythcat]# perf top -e minor-faults -ns comm

Is use the comm (keys are available: pid, comm, dso, symbol, parent, cpu, socket, srcline, weight, local_weight) and the -ns args see the manual of perf command. The result of this command is:

This is most simple way to see how is start and close some pids and how they interact in real-time with the operating system. Another way to deal with the perf command is how to analyze most scheduler properties from within 'perf sched' alone using the perf sched with the five sub-commands currently:


perf sched record            # low-overhead recording of arbitrary workloads
perf sched latency           # output per task latency metrics
perf sched map               # show summary/map of context-switching
perf sched trace             # output finegrained trace
perf sched replay            # replay a captured workload using simlated threads

Try this example to see the to capture a trace and then to check latencies (which analyzes the trace in perf.data record file).

perf sched record sleep 10     # record full system activity for 10 seconds
perf sched latency --sort max  # report latencies sorted by max

You can also make a map of map of scheduling events by using this command:

[root@localhost mythcat]# perf sched record

This tutorial show you just only 1% of ways of using the perf command.

Fedora 25: running Geekbench.

You can test your CPU with this software and will see report online.
The official website told us about this tool:
Geekbench 4 measures your system's power and tells you whether your computer is ready to roar. How strong is your mobile device or desktop computer? How will it perform when push comes to crunch? These are the questions that Geekbench can answer.
You can use free or buy a license for this software and you can get it from here.
Let's see how is working and what is tested:

[mythcat@localhost Geekbench-4.0.4-Linux]$ ls
geekbench4  geekbench.plar  geekbench_x86_32  geekbench_x86_64
[mythcat@localhost Geekbench-4.0.4-Linux]$ ./geekbench4 
[0219/140337:INFO:src/base/archive_file.cpp(43)] Found archive at 
/home/mythcat/build.pulse/dist/Geekbench-4.0.4-Linux/geekbench.plar
Geekbench 4.0.4 Tryout : http://www.geekbench.com/

Geekbench 4 is in tryout mode.

Geekbench 4 requires an active Internet connection when in tryout mode, and 
automatically uploads test results to the Geekbench Browser. Other features 
are unavailable in tryout mode.

Buy a Geekbench 4 license to enable offline use and remove the limitations of 
tryout mode.

If you would like to purchase Geekbench you can do so online:

  https://store.primatelabs.com/v4

If you have already purchased Geekbench, enter your email address and license 
key from your email receipt with the following command line:

  ./geekbench4 -r email address="" license key=""
