DB integrity checker instructions

Hi friend! So I just put up an alpha of my data analyzer that can scan any mongodb or couchdb server you can access from your laptop (including your local dev ones). It works by ssh tunneling and the "UI" is all ssh.

Could you give it a try and see what it says about your data?

Here's how to run it:

  1. ssh [email protected]
  • use password "password" when prompted
  1. Answer the questions about your db server it asks you
  • it will print another longer ssh command
  1. Copy/paste the 2nd ssh command it prints for you to run the scan (password is again "password")

Should I be worried about any of this?

  • All communications are encrypted courtesy of ssh
  • All commands are a read-only scan of your database
  • No data whatsoever is stored on our server

How can I score even more bonus points?

  • Let Pete watch you try it over google hangout or skype screenshare
  • Record a screencast of you trying it

Let me know if you have any questions or have any problems running the analyzer.

Thanks!

Pete
