Modify a SmartOS vmware platform image

Using OS X and vmware Fusion. Requires an actual Solarish system or VM to modify the boot_archive.

Why would you want to do this? Well, it's an easy way of modifying an excellent platform for your own nefarious ends. Maybe you want to inject some extra (or less) work into the install scripts. Or just add some extra default services. Or drop in some leet figlet into /etc/issue. Or more usefully: Drop your application bootstrapping code into the platform to create turnkey appliances.

Prep

Download and decompress the SmartOS VMware image.

Copy the boot image out of the VM directory and mount it.

This tool is used to compare microbenchmarks across two versions of code. It's
paranoid about nulling out timing error, so the numbers should be meaningful.
It runs the benchmarks many times, scaling the iterations up if the benchmark
is extremely short, and it nulls out its own timing overhead while doing so. It
reports results graphically with a text interface in the terminal.
You first run it with --record, which generates a JSON dotfile with runtimes
for each of your benchmarks. Then you change the code and run again with
--compare, which re-runs and generates comparison plots between your recorded
and current times. In the example output, I did a --record on the master

How to run http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/ / https://github.com/FiloSottile/Heartbleed yourself

http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/ is a great service to the community.

I wouldn’t recommend testing hosts againt an online tool. All you do is create a log for a security savvy person with vulnerable hosts. While not quite the same, this is similar to uploading private keys or passwords to a service to check if they are secure.

Luckily it is easy to run the software locally, as the author was so kind to provide the source. I don’t read go very well, but a cursory glance suggests that the software does what it says on the tin, so we don’t worry about it phoning home.

This is the first time I’m building a go project, so I have to install go first. brew install go is easily done. You can get binary distributions for your OS from the go homepage: https://code.google.com/p/go/downloads/list
