In the past few weeks, I have been using Gemma4 as a Large Language Model (LLM) to see how useful it can be to analyze some of the malware hashes uploaded to the DShield sensor over the past 30 days and figure out how its recommendation can be considered useful about the activity my DShield sensor is collecting and tracking. The model I use for this testing is gemma4:e4b [2] using two sites to compare the data against VirusTotal and CyberGordon.
A couple of days ago, Xavier posted about Atuin to gain more insight into the command history. Atuin does a great job of better organizing what is usually handled by “bash&#;x26;#;x5f;history”&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;and collecting meaningful additional data. Our reader David commented that this can also be done quite well with Linux&#;x26;#;39;s kernel process accounting feature, and I think he is very right. I really like Linux process accounting for a number of reasons, so here is a quick introduction.

Solana is a crypto platform known for speed. Developers like it to develop distributed applications or to implement crypto payments. To interact with the blockchain, APIs are provided for developers. These APIs will either “speak” JSON or gRPC. One implementation often used for development is “surfpool,” which is used to test programs before deploying them to a Solana network.

UNIX systems (including Linux) are well-known to record a lot of activities in many different locations. But there is one domain where they definitely lack of “modern” logging: shells. Most shells provide an historization of the typed commands through a flat file in the $HOME directory (ex: $HOME/.bash_history). They suffer of multiple problems:
