Clearing IPTables rules

-
Occasionally I find it necessary to quickly clear out all the IPTables rules without accidentally losing access to the machine. I've found the below commands to be the quickest way to accomplish that goal (substitute ip6tables if you live in an IPv6 world) iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -t nat -F iptables -t mangle -F iptables -F iptables -X You can confirm afterward by running iptables -nvL , which should produce output similar to: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

SSH Private Keys - RSA vs. OpenSSH

-
It would seem that ssh-keygen on OS X Mojave generates OpenSSH Private Keys instead of the traditional RSA Private Keys. While on the surface this is not a problem at all, it recently created a problem for us in combination with our use of the net-ssh Ruby gem, specifically that only RSA Private Keys are supported by this particular version of the gem, unless other dependencies are explicitly installed. So there would appear to be two solutions to this problem. First, we could update the net-ssh gem or discover/install whatever other dependencies are required to support OpenSSH Private Keys. Option two is to convert the existing private key from OpenSSH to RSA. The man page for ssh-keygen is helpful, but not nearly clear enough for this use case, so I'm documenting it here because I'm sure it'll come back to bite me again in the future. Assuming ~/.ssh/id_rsa starts with: -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY----- Run ssh-keygen -p -m PEM -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa and you will ...
