How Companies Communicated Being Hacked

Evernote

It’s probably a pretty bad idea to have your site go down, when people are supposed to read the blog post explaining the hack.

Twitter

Notice how another site reporting the hack received more attention than Twitter’s own announcement. Why was that?

## Install a necessary packages
$ sudo apt-get install kvm cloud-utils genisoimage

## URL to most recent cloud image of 12.04
$ img_url="http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/server/releases/12.04/release"
$ img_url="${img_url}/ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img"
## download the image
$ wget $img_url -O disk.img.dist

## Create a file with some user-data in it

So, to get something like /etc/rc.local you can use the custom SMF import facility. (See the source for more information about how this actually works.)

/opt is mounted out of zones/opt by default. You can create a directory /opt/custom/smf and populate it with SMF manifests. Any manifests you put in there will be imported by SmartOS when it boots. Below is an example SMF manifest that simply starts /opt/custom/bin/postboot, a self-explanatory shell script that you can use like /etc/rc.local.

Note that it would likely be better to customise and respin your own images, as putting a bunch of platform state in the zones pool undoes some of the benefits of the ramdisk platform architecture that SmartOS has.
