Check speed of ssh cipher(s) on your system
#!/bin/bash
# ssh-cipher-benchmark.sh - Assesses speed of SSH encryption between specific hosts.
# Usage:
# ssh-cipher-benchmark.sh <remotehost> [ciphers]
# Default ciphers: all we can find...
#
# Note: In some cases, the first cipher tested runs faster than the others, regardless of order.
# Cause of this is not known, but changing the order of testing shows it to be true. Run the
# first one twice if you suspect this. Perhaps it is due to buffering?

Delete all archives in an AWS Vault

AWS Glacier: Delete vault

Follow these steps to remove all archives from an AWS vault. After this is finished, you will be able to delete the vault itself through the browser console.

Step 1 / Retrieve inventory

This will create a job that collects required information about the vault.

$ aws glacier initiate-job --job-parameters '{"Type": "inventory-retrieval"}' --account-id YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID --region YOUR_REGION --vault-name YOUR_VAULT_NAME

Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs
