Package Authaus is an authentication and authorization system. Authaus brings together the following pluggable components: Any of these five components can be swapped out, and in fact the fourth, and fifth ones (Role Groups and User Store) are entirely optional. A typical setup is to use LDAP as an Authenticator, and Postgres as a Session, Permit, and Role Groups database. Your session database does not need to be particularly performant, since Authaus maintains an in-process cache of session keys and their associated tokens. Authaus was NOT designed to be a "Facebook Scale" system. The target audience is a system of perhaps 100,000 users. There is nothing fundamentally limiting about the API of Authaus, but the internals certainly have not been built with millions of users in mind. The intended usage model is this: Authaus is intended to be embedded inside your security system, and run as a standalone HTTP service (aka a REST service). This HTTP service CAN be open to the wide world, but it's also completely OK to let it listen only to servers inside your DMZ. Authaus only gives you the skeleton and some examples of HTTP responders. It's up to you to flesh out the details of your authentication HTTP interface, and whether you'd like that to face the world, or whether it should only be accessible via other services that you control. At startup, your services open an HTTP connection to the Authaus service. This connection will typically live for the duration of the service. For every incoming request, you peel off whatever authentication information is associated with that request. This is either a session key, or a username/password combination. Let's call it the authorization information. You then ask Authaus to tell you WHO this authorization information belongs to, as well as WHAT this authorization information allows the requester to do (ie Authentication and Authorization). Authaus responds either with a 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden), or a 200 (OK) and a JSON object that tells you the identity of the agent submitting this request, as well the permissions that this agent posesses. It's up to your individual services to decide what to do with that information. It should be very easy to expose Authaus over a protocol other than HTTP, since Authaus is intended to be easy to embed. The HTTP API is merely an illustrative example. A `Session Key` is the long random number that is typically stored as a cookie. A `Permit` is a set of roles that has been granted to a user. Authaus knows nothing about the contents of a permit. It simply treats it as a binary blob, and when writing it to an SQL database, encodes it as base64. The interpretation of the permit is application dependent. Typically, a Permit will hold information such as "Allowed to view billing information", or "Allowed to paint your bathroom yellow". Authaus does have a built-in module called RoleGroupDB, which has its own interpretation of what a Permit is, but you do not need to use this. A `Token` is the result of a successful authentication. It stores the identity of a user, an expiry date, and a Permit. A token will usually be retrieved by a session key. However, you can also perform a once-off authentication, which also yields you a token, which you will typically throw away when you are finished with it. All public methods of the `Central` object are callable from multiple threads. Reader-Writer locks are used in all of the caching systems. The number of concurrent connections is limited only by the limits of the Go runtime, and the performance limits that are inherent to the simple reader-writer locks used to protect shared state. Authaus must be deployed as a single process (which implies running on a single logical machine). The sole reason why it must run on only one process and not more, is because of the state that lives inside the various Authaus caches. Were it not for these caches, then there would be nothing preventing you from running Authaus on as many machines as necessary. The cached state stored inside the Authaus server is: If you wanted to make Authaus runnable across multiple processes, then you would need to implement a cache invalidation system for these caches. Authaus makes no attempt to mitigate DOS attacks. The most sane approach in this domain seems to be this (http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/12101/prevent-denial-of-service-attacks-against-slow-hashing-functions). The password database (created via NewAuthenticationDB_SQL) stores password hashes using the scrypt key derivation system (http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt.html). Internally, we store our hash in a format that can later be extended, should we wish to double-hash the passwords, etc. The hash is 65 bytes and looks like this: The first byte of the hash is a version number of the hash. The remaining 64 bytes are the salt and the hash itself. At present, only one version is supported, which is version 1. It consists of 32 bytes of salt, and 32 bytes of scrypt'ed hash, with scrypt parameters N=256 r=8 p=1. Note that the parameter N=256 is quite low, meaning that it is possible to compute this in approximately 1 millisecond (1,000,000 nanoseconds) on a 2009-era Intel Core i7. This is a deliberate tradeoff. On the same CPU, a SHA256 hash takes about 500 nanoseconds to compute, so we are still making it 2000 times harder to brute force the passwords than an equivalent system storing only a SHA256 salted hash. This discussion is only of relevance in the event that the password table is compromised. No cookie signing mechanism is implemented. Cookies are not presently transmitted with Secure:true. This must change. The LDAP Authenticator is extremely simple, and provides only one function: Authenticate a user against an LDAP system (often this means Active Directory, AKA a Windows Domain). It calls the LDAP "Bind" method, and if that succeeds for the given identity/password, then the user is considered authenticated. We take care not to allow an "anonymous bind", which many LDAP servers allow when the password is blank. The Session Database runs on Postgres. It stores a table of sessions, where each row contains the following information: When a permit is altered with Authaus, then all existing sessions have their permits altered transparently. For example, imagine User X is logged in, and his administrator grants him a new permission. User X does not need to log out and log back in again in order for his new permissions to be reflected. His new permissions will be available immediately. Similarly, if a password is changed with Authaus, then all sessions are invalidated. Do take note though, that if a password is changed through an external mechanism (such as with LDAP), then Authaus will have no way of knowing this, and will continue to serve up sessions that were authenticated with the old password. This is a problem that needs addressing. You can limit the number of concurrent sessions per user to 1, by setting MaxActiveSessions.ConfigSessionDB to 1. This setting may only be zero or one. Zero, which is the default, means an unlimited number of concurrent sessions per user. Authaus will always place your Session Database behind its own Session Cache. This session cache is a very simple single-process in-memory cache of recent sessions. The limit on the number of entries in this cache is hard-coded, and that should probably change. The Permit database runs on Postgres. It stores a table of permits, which is simply a 1:1 mapping from Identity -> Permit. The Permit is just an array of bytes, which we store base64 encoded, inside a text field. This part of the system doesn't care how you interpret that blob. The Role Group Database is an entirely optional component of Authaus. The other components of Authaus (Authenticator, PermitDB, SessionDB) do not understand your Permits. To them, a Permit is simply an arbitrary array of bytes. The Role Group Database is a component that adds a specific meaning to a permit blob. Let's see what that specific meaning looks like... The built-in Role Group Database interprets a permit blob as a string of 32-bit integer IDs: These 32-bit integer IDs refer to "role groups" inside a database table. The "role groups" table might look like this: The Role Group IDs use 32-bit indices, because we assume that you are not going to create more than 2^32 different role groups. The worst case we assume here is that of an automated system that creates 100,000 roles per day. Such a system would run for more than 100 years, given a 32-bit ID. These constraints are extraordinary, suggesting that we do not even need 32 bits, but could even get away with just a 16-bit group ID. However, we expect the number of groups to be relatively small. Our aim here, arbitrary though it may be, is to fit the permit and identity into a single ethernet packet, which one can reasonably peg at 1500 bytes. 1500 / 4 = 375. We assume that no sane human administrator will assign 375 security groups to any individual. We expect the number of groups assigned to any individual to be in the range of 1 to 20. This makes 375 a gigantic buffer. OAuth support in Authaus is limited to a very simple scenario: * You wish to allow your users to login using an OAuth service - thereby outsourcing the Authentication to that external service, and using it to populate the email address of your users. OAuth was developed in order to work with Microsoft Azure Active Directory, however it should be fairly easy to extend the code to be able to handle other OAuth providers. Inside the database are two tables related to OAuth: oauthchallenge: The challenge table holds OAuth sessions which have been started, and which are expected to either succeed or fail within the next few minutes. The default timeout for a challenge is 5 minutes. A challenge record is usually created the moment the user clicks on the "Sign in with Microsoft" button on your site, and it tracks that authentication attempt. oauthsession: The session table holds OAuth sessions which have successfully authenticated, and also the token that was retrieved by a successful authorization. If a token has expired, then it is refreshed and updated in-place, inside the oauthsession table. An OAuth login follows this sequence of events: 1. User clicks on a "Signin with X" button on your login page 2. A record is created in the oauthchallenge table, with a unique ID. This ID is a secret known only to the authaus server and the OAuth server. It is used as the `state` parameter in the OAuth login mechanism. 3. The HTTP call which prompts #2 return a redirect URL (eg via an HTTP 302 response), which redirects the user's browser to the OAuth website, so that the user can either grant or refuse access. If the user refuses, or fails to login, then the login sequence ends here. 4. Upon successful authorization with the OAuth system, the OAuth website redirects the user back to your website, to a URL such as example.com/auth/oauth/finish, and you'll typically want Authaus to handle this request directly (via HttpHandlerOAuthFinish). Authaus will extract the secrets from the URL, perform any validations necessary, and then move the record from the oauthchallenge table, into the oauthsession table. While 'moving' the record over, it will also add any additional information that was provided by the successful authentication, such as the token provided by the OAuth provider. 5. Authaus makes an API call to the OAuth system, to retrieve the email address and name of the person that just logged in, using the token just received. 6. If that email address does not exist inside authuserstore, then create a new user record for this identity. 7. Log the user into Authaus, by creating a record inside authsession, for the relevant identity. Inside the authsession table, store a link to the oauthsession record, so that there is a 1:1 link from the authsession table, to the oauthsession table (ie Authaus Session to OAuth Token). 8. Return an Authaus session cookie to the browser, thereby completing the login. Although we only use our OAuth token a single time, during login, to retrieve the user's email address and name, we retain the OAuth token, and so we maintain the ability to make other API calls on behalf of that user. This hasn't proven necessary yet, but it seems like a reasonable bit of future-proofing. See the guidelines at the top of all_test.go for testing instructions.
Package gist is an unofficial toolkit for file uploads to GitHub gist. macOS (via Homebrew): Manual: Download the latest release for your platform (Darwin/macOS, Linux, Windows): https://github.com/TheTannerRyan/gist/releases/latest. Unpack the tar, and copy the binary to a directory that is in the PATH. Here is an example on macOS (Darwin): The /usr/local/bin directory will work with most variants of UNIX. For Windows, you will have to add the parent directory to the system path. To use gist, you need to create a Github personal access token. To create a token, go to https://github.com/settings/tokens. Click the "generate new token" button and enter any description. For the scope, just select "gist". Then click generate token. Once you have a token, you should set the "GIST_KEY" environment variable to the token value. If you do not want to use an environment variable, you will have to copy and paste the token each time you would like to upload content. Global usage: Upload usage (same for secret uploads): All of the commands have short and long versions: The flags also have short aliases: The interface behaves the way it looks: If single or multiple files are being provided, and there are no file name overrides, the original file names will be used. For stdin and the clipboard, if no name is provided, the file will be uploaded as gistfile1.txt. Copyright (c) 2019 Tanner Ryan. All rights reserved.

Extensible Go library for creating fast, SSR-first frontend avoiding vanilla templating downsides. Creating asynchronous and dynamic layout parts is a complex problem for larger projects using `html/template`. Library tries to simplify this process. Let's go straight into a simple example. Then, we will dig into details, step by step, how it works. Kyoto provides a simple net/http handlers and function wrappers to handle pages rendering and serving. See functions inside of nethttp.go file for details and advanced usage. Example: Kyoto provides a way to define components. It's a very common approach for modern libraries to manage frontend parts. In kyoto each component is a context receiver, which returns it's state. Each component becomes a part of the page or top-level component, which executes component asynchronously and gets a state future object. In that way your components are executing in a non-blocking way. Pages are just top-level components, where you can configure rendering and page related stuff. Example: As an option, you can wrap component with another function to accept additional paramenters from top-level page/component. Example: Kyoto provides a context, which holds common objects like http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request, etc. See kyoto.Context for details. Example: Kyoto provides a set of parameters and functions to provide a comfortable template building process. You can configure template building parameters with kyoto.TemplateConf configuration. See template.go for available functions and kyoto.TemplateConfiguration for configuration details. Example: Kyoto provides a way to simplify building dynamic UIs. For this purpose it has a feature named actions. Logic is pretty simple. Client calls an action (sends a request to the server). Action is executing on server side and server is sending updated component markup to the client which will be morphed into DOM. That's it. To use actions, you need to go through a few steps. You'll need to include a client into page (JS functions for communication) and register an actions handler for a needed component. Let's start from including a client. Then, let's register an actions handler for a needed component. That's all! Now we ready to use actions to provide a dynamic UI. Example: In this example you can see provided modifications to the quick start example. First, we've added a state and name into our components' markup. In this way we are saving our components' state between actions and find a component root. Unfortunately, we have to manually provide a component name for now, we haven't found a way to provide it dynamically. Second, we've added a reload button with onclick function call. We're using a function Action provided by a client. Action triggering will be described in details later. Third, we've added an action handler inside of our component. This handler will be executed when a client calls an action with a corresponding name. It's highly recommended to keep components' state as small as possible. It will be transmitted on each action call. Kyoto have multiple ways to trigger actions. Now we will check them one by one. This is the simplest way to trigger an action. It's just a function call with a referer (usually 'this', f.e. button) as a first argument (used to determine root), action name as a second argument and arguments as a rest. Arguments must to be JSON serializable. It's possible to trigger an action of another component. If you want to call an action of parent component, use $ prefix in action name. If you want to call an action of component by id, use <id:action> as an action name. This is a specific action which is triggered when a form is submitted. Usually called in onsubmit="..." attribute of a form. You'll need to implement 'Submit' action to handle this trigger. This is a special HTML attribute which will trigger an action on page load. This may be useful for components' lazy loading. With this special HTML attributes you can trigger an action with interval. Useful for components that must to be updated over time (f.e. charts, stats, etc). You can use this trigger with ssa:poll and ssa:poll.interval HTML attributes. This one attribute allows you to trigger an action when an element is visible on the screen. May be useful for lazy loading. Kyoto provides a way to control action flow. For now, it's possible to control display style on component call and push multiple UI updates to the client during a single action. Because kyoto makes a roundtrip to the server every time an action is triggered on the page, there are cases where the page may not react immediately to a user event (like a click). That's why the library provides a way to easily control display attributes on action call. You can use this HTML attribute to control display during action call. At the end of an action the layout will be restored. A small note. Don't forget to set a default display for loading elements like spinners and loaders. You can push multiple component UI updates during a single action call. Just call kyoto.ActionFlush(ctx, state) to initiate an update. Kyoto provides a way to control action rendering. Now there is at least 2 rendering options after an action call: morph (default) and replace. Morph will try to morph received markup to the current one with morphdom library. In case of an error, or explicit "replace" mode, markup will be replaced with x.outerHTML = '...'.
Continuation of [byosh] and [SimpleSNIProxy] projects. To ensure that Sniproxy works correctly, it's important to have ports 80, 443, and 53 open. However, on Ubuntu, it's possible that port 53 may be in use by systemd-resolved. To disable systemd-resolved and free up the port, follow [these instructions]. If you prefer to keep systemd-resolved and just disable the built-in resolver, you can use the following command: The simplest way to install the software is by utilizing the pre-built binaries available on the releases page. Alternatively, there are other ways to install, which include: Using "go install" command: Using Docker or Podman: Using the installer script: sniproxy can be configured using a configuration file or environment variables The configuration file is a YAML file, and an example configuration file can be found under [Sample config file]. you can find the instructions for the environment variables there as well. In this tutorial, we will go over the steps to set up an SNI proxy using Vultr as a service provider. This will allow you to serve multiple SSL-enabled websites from a single IP address. - A Vultr account. If you don't have one, you can sign up for free using my [Vultr referal link] ## Step 1: Create a Vultr Server First, log in to your Vultr account and click on the "Instances" tab in the top menu. Then, click the "+" button to deploy a new server. On the "Deploy New Instance" page, select the following options: - Choose Server: Choose "Cloud Compute" - CPU & Storage Technology: Any of the choices should work perfectly fine - Server Location: Choose the location of the server. This will affect the latency of your website, so it's a good idea to choose a location that is close to your target audience. - Server Image: Any OS listed there is supported. If you're not sure what to choose, Ubuntu is a good option - Server Size: Choose a server size that is suitable for your needs. A small or medium-sized server should be sufficient for most SNI proxy setups. Pay attention to the monthly bandwidth usage as well - "Add Auto Backups": not strictly needed for sniproxy. - "SSH Keys": choose a SSH key to facilitate logging in later on. you can always use Vultr's builtin console as well. - Server Hostname: Choose a hostname for your server. This can be any name you like. After you have selected the appropriate options, click the "Deploy Now" button to create your server. ## Step 2: Install the SNI Proxy Once your server has been created, log in to the server using SSH or console. The root password is available under the "Overview" tab in instances list. Ensure the firewall (firewalld, ufw or iptables) is allowing connectivity to ports 80/TCP, 443/TCP and 53/UDP. For `ufw`, allow these ports with: once you have a shell in front of you, run the following (assuming you're on Ubuntu 22.04) above script is an interactive installer, it will ask you a few questions and then install sniproxy for you. it also installs sniproxy as a systemd servers, and enables it to start on boot. above wizard will set up execution arguments for sniproxy. you can edit them by running and edit parameters as you see fit. for example, you can add more domains to the list of domains to proxy, or change the port numbers.

GO Bindings for Csound This wrapper is still very experimental. It has been tested only on Linux. It needs a proper installation of Csound with header files in the include path in the csound directory (e.g. csound/csound.h). libcsound64 have to be in the PATH. You can install this package with go get: Or you can download a zip archive of the project using the 'Download ZIP' button on the right. You'll get a zip file named 'go-csnd-master.zip'. Decompressing it you'll get a directory named 'go-csnd-master'. Rename this directory to 'go-csnd' and move it to '$GOPATH/src/github/fggp'. Enter into the '$GOPATH/src/github/fggp/go-csnd' directory. You can eventually adapt the #cgo directives in csnd.go to your system. Finally install the package with `go install`. This wrapper is intended to be used with a double build of Csound. Use examples can be seen here: https://github.com/kunstmusik/csoundAPI_examples/tree/master/go
