Another wave of cyber attacks against Kenya?
by Brian Munyao Longwe 06 Apr '13

06 Apr '13

Yesterday the website of a legal firm specializing in intellectual property that belongs to a friend was hacked and defaced. I discovered when going to look up some materials on copyright and immediately alerted him, he has since mobilized his web designer/hosting company to deal with the issue. I managed to take a screenshot of the homepage in it's "hacked" state. As you can see the "hackers" claim to be from Saudi Arabia and (as can be expected) are very proud that they have compromised this site. In the background is the logo of Backtrack, which could is a linux distribution designed for information security that consists of a wide range of "hacker" tools. [image: Inline image 1] This incident could be evidence of the beginning of another wave of attacks against Kenyan systems on the Internet. We desperately need an awareness campaign that will alert website owners/operators to the dangers and prompt them to get themselves checked (like the HIV campaign). Best regards, Brian

CodeIgniter ActiveRecord question
by Peter Karunyu 06 Apr '13

06 Apr '13

Suppose I have a tasks table which contains tasks created by several people and where each task can be assigned to any other user, with columns like these: status - A string value, can be Open, In Progress or Closed created_by - int value, stores the id of the user who created the task assigned_to - int value, stores the id of the user assigned to a task And I want to see only open tasks created by or assigned to me, i.e. the query: SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE status = 'Open' AND (created_by = 3 OR assigned_to = 3) How can I do this using CodeIgniter ActiveRecord? -- Regards, Peter Karunyu -------------------

Skunks I have over the weekend been running trials on connectify dispatch http://www.connectify.me/dispatch/ This is an easy-to-use Windows software that lets you combine multiple Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G, and Ethernet connections into one super-fast connection. Was able to combine my Orange modem and accesskenya at home link ( it has been pathetic for months) to achieve consistent speeds of 1.9 to 2.4 mbps. Whats more, it allows you to share this super link using its inbuilt connectify wifi hotspot. Would highly recommend it.

PIVOT East 2013: Call for Applications.
by Moses Kemibaro 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

*PIVOT East 2013: East Africa's Mobile Start-ups Competition & Conference.* m:Lab East Africa will be holding the finalists conference of the third PIVOT East on 25th - 26th June 2013 in Kampala, Uganda. PIVOT East is East Africa’s premier mobile start-ups pitching competition and conference held annually since 2011. PIVOT East aims to catalyse the growth of mobile start-ups, so as to amplify and consolidate the gains of East Africa’s Mobile developer and entrepreneurship ecosystem. The key objective for this year's event is “to facilitate the discovery of the next wave of high potential mobile start-ups”. The main difference between this year's competition and the previous years’ is its focus on start-ups becoming sustainable enterprises as opposed to merely showcasing mobile applications and their mobile developers. PIVOT East 2013 has five competitive categories for Mobile Finance, Mobile Enterprise, Mobile Entertainment, Mobile Society and Mobile Utilities. Each category will feature five finalists who will pitch to Investors, Development Partners, Government Representatives, Telecom Operators and other key industry players from East Africa and beyond. Finalists will also secure business incubation for their start-ups, virtually or physically at m:lab East Africa. Applications to the competition are being received at entries.pivoteast.com . *Applications close on the 15th April 2013.* For more information on PIVOT East 2013, please visit our website at www.pivoteast.com, follow us on Twitter @PivotEast, find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/PivotEast or visit us on Google+ at PivotEast.

Re: [Skunkworks] Technology, transparency, and the Kenyan general election of 2013
by jaredkoyier＠gmail.com 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Good Article, captures well, the issues. Overall the articles gives the impression that technology was secondary in the election, an assertion that forms the basis for arguments in supreme court. I would probably hold that thought as judgement is still out there. Whereas the role of technology could be argued either way, primary or secondary, it is almost agreeable that it was meant to bring about checks and balances in the whole process,thus its complete failure as was witnessed, brings to question the integrity of the process at least in the absence of the checks. I think besides the court process ,regardless of the ruling. It would be necessary to dissect more what really happened so as to improve.

Free Solar Powered Laptops Per Child is it a Myth or will it be a reality?
by Barrack Otieno 02 Apr '13

Listers, Now that the dust has settled its time to get back to work, as a country we have had numerous interventions to bring computers to schools, most of this have been based on public private partnerships. However we have had mixed outcomes with regards to the success and failure of the initiatives, i am not sure whether we have an information resource on the success stories or failure that we can learn from, none the less: 1. Is this a timely idea? What are the chances of success considering the digital villages and Nepad e-schools project experience? 2. How will the program be sustained? 3. What is the overall goal of the project and what does it mean to a child in Moyale? Thank you Amicus Sirkal -- Barrack O.

Basic IT Jobs overseas
by Humphrey Kirui 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

HI Guys, Hope you've all been keeping well and counting well. A friend is relocating to Ontario, Canada and is looking for job opportunities related to IT, as he buys time there (1year) for his own major plans. He plans on taking a professional course here in Nairobi - like A + N+ etc during the next 2 months before departure. The certificates will then serve as formal papers albeit the fact that he isn't a novice in IT. Just that he's in a different career line and wouldn't like to do dishes, loans or wait on tables.. :-) So, the question is: What short course can land him a basic IT job out there in the West? I'm sure those who have worked in similar regions can share their experiences.. Ideas would help. Regards, Hum4

Iphone security question
by Brian L 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

So I'm tinkering around with a 3gs it has cydia so I am assuming it has been jailbroken trying to side load apps and I come across this information, quoted verbatim *Step 1:* Open your SSH program (Winscp/Cyberduck etc.) *Step 2:* Enter the IP address of your iPhone/iDevice into the “host” field (Settings -> Wifi -> Tap the blue icon next to the network you are on and you will get your IP address) *Step 3:* Now, enter ‘root’ for username and ‘alpine’ for password (if alpine does not work, use ‘dottie’) And it worked. Now in my mind I think, I am on a private wifi network. 1. People have access to my phone on a public network? 2. In a security lapse over a 3G, LTE network, would it be possible to access this phone from anywhere? 3. Is there a way to change this password? 4. If this is a loophole, where did it begin?

New Voip Capability in facebook messenger
by Kevin Omondi 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Skunks, Im sure you have been following the news in regards to facebook rolling out voice capability in its fb messenger platform first in the US and as of today in the UK ( i presume it is a matter of weeks before it goes global. This move sees it not only going up against Skype, but mobile network operators too. Facebook has somewhere in the region of one billion users, and letting them call each other directly through Facebook may be a game changer. Is this the beginning of the end for voice or are we likely to see a reversal where if a consumer buys specific data bundles he gets free voice minutes..just thinking. Cheers Kevin

Managed Hosted Services - Kenya

Skunks, I have been in the managed Hosted Services for the last couple of months now, but one thing I have noted Kenyans(IT) are more reactive in DR rather than proactive( this can be evident by the number of recovery services companies which seems to crop up lately). Is it an issue of finance or we all tend not to value our data much, I have just raised this as a concern because one of my friends whom refused to pick DR services, currently he has been working tirelesly for the last 72 hours trying to retrieve data, of which again he shall require atleast 2 weeks and 10 manpower to re-enter the data back, dont mind the work that Customer care has of telling lies why the system is down and they can't service clients till further notice. Kindly make me understand the Kenyan DR market. Antony..............

Postfix and SpamAssassin - SPAM mail filling server queues despite blacklisting rules
by ndungu stephen 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hi gurus; I am new to Postfix,Amavis,SpamAssassin ; spam mail have been filling up our server - filling up the hardisk, and queues with useless mail that seem to be from self spawning domains and email addresses. This is preventing genuine email from functioning properly. However, I followed instructions on the net to do "soft blacklisting" and "hard blacklisting" - but it does not seem to work. I am assuming soft blacklisting gives an email a maximum number of hits before the address is given low priority and eventually blocked out. I also assumed hard blacklisting totally prevents a domain from sending email and filling up the queues. What to do to stop these domains from sending emails permanently ? ---------- LOGS ---------- *Blacklisting Rules: *on /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf blacklist_from t.co hotmail.com jhdgsndhj.com sgnbxhfghd.com hjsnbfg.com snybfhf.com 265kt.com 10t1v.com q9cho.com d10vx_.com jhdgsn dhj.com snybfhf.com djsnhdh.com hjndgsycfs.com jhgsnvdgh.com dhjgnsghfs.com sgnghfsg.com sgnhscgfs.com ucidgsnhcvds.com jhcgsngfdgh. com hydgsnhcvdsngh.com jhgsnhsxffg.com hycgndsgjfdg.com eungfyuds.com 2udfwnw.com blacklist_to t.co hotmail.com jhdgsndhj.com snybfhf.com sgnbxhfghd.com hjsnbfg.com djsnhdh.com hjndgsycfs.com jhgsnvdgh.com dhjgnsgh fs.com sgnghfsg.com sgnhscgfs.com ucidgsnhcvds.com jhcgsngfdgh.com hydgsnhcvdsngh.com jhgsnhsxffg.com hycgndsgjfdg.com eungfyuds.com 2udfwnw.com *Blacklisting Rules Global:* /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf @score_sender_maps = ({ # a by-recipient hash lookup table, [ # the _first_ matching sender determines the score boost new_RE( # regexp-type lookup table, just happens to be all soft-blacklist [qr'^(bulkmail|offers|cheapbenefits|earnmoney|foryou)@'i => 5.0], [qr'^(greatcasino|investments|lose_weight_today|market\.alert)@'i => 5.0], [qr'^(money2you|MyGreenCard|new\.tld\.registry|opt-out|opt-in)@'i => 5.0], [qr'^(optin|saveonlsmoking2002k|specialoffer|specialoffers)@'i => 5.0], [qr'^(stockalert|stopsnoring|wantsome|workathome|yesitsfree)@'i => 5.0], [qr'^(your_friend|greatoffers)@'i => 5.0], [qr'^(inkjetplanet|marketopt|MakeMoney)\d*@'i => 5.0], [qr'^(sex|fck)\d*@'i => -5.0], [qr'.*(a)\.*\.hotmail\.com$'i => -10.0], [qr'.*(a)\.*\.yahoo\.com$'i => -10.0], ), This does not seem to work (see active queues) - always close to 20000 (saturation) with useless domains.

To: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> Disclaimer: All the opinions expressed herein are my own. #140friday <http://140friday.com> » Business <http://140friday.com/?cat=3>» Politics <http://140friday.com/?cat=6> » Technology<http://140friday.com/?cat=8>» Kenya’s PKI Destined for Failure? March 20, 2013 Kenya’s PKI Destined for Failure? Today I had the opportunity to attend a seminar organized by the Ministry of Information & Communications and Samsung SDS as part of the implementation of Kenya’s National Public Key Infrastructure (NPKI). The project is undertaken within the framework of the Kenya Transparency & Communications Infrastructure Project (KTCIP), a World Bank funded initiative that will help Kenya achieve a number of the goals under the ICT pillar of Vision 2030. The presentations from the team from Korea consisted of representatives of Samsung SDS (who won the International tender for Kenya’s NPKI implementation) as well as representatives from some of the key actors in Korea’s own NPKI. The Korean presentations were interesting, informative and very well prepared. Over the period of a few hours they were able to take the relatively complex subject of National Public Kenya Infrastructure and unpack it in a way that was both easy to understand as well as clear and straightforward. They left no shadow of doubt as to whether Samsung SDS can successfully implement this project. They also shared the organizational structure for the project, which is as follows: [image: CAM00454]<http://140friday.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/CAM00454.jpg> During the course of their presentations the team from Korea shared the high level plan for the implementation of Kenya’s SDS. They made it clear that they had spent a good deal of time working closely with Government officials responsible from the Kenyan side. In describing the structure and hierarchy that has proven successful in Korea for the implementation and operation of their NPKI, the team shared the following diagram. [image: CAM00455]<http://140friday.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/CAM00455.jpg> At the very top, there is the Ministry responsible for the NPKI, they provide the legal and regulatory framework, national authentication plan and other high level functions. Below them is the “Root Certification Authority” an organization known as the Korea Internet Security Agency (KISA), which provides operation of the National Authentication system, licensing/accreditation of certificate authorities (CA) to provide service to the public as well as development of technical standards. Below them are the accredited CAs of which Korea has 5 who provide certificate issuance and management services to the public. In a presentation which came later, the Korean team shared the proposed structure for the Kenyan implementation which had been arrived at after consultations with Government. The diagram is as follows. [image: CAM00457]<http://140friday.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/CAM00457.jpg> In this structure, Government who will be responsible for legal and regulatory framework, national authentication plan, other high level functions as well as licensing and auditing are to be represented by the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK). Below them and responsible for operation of the Root Certification Authority is CCK. Below that are a proposed “Government CA” which will issue certificates for Government agencies and employees and a proposed “Private Sector CA” which will issue certificates to the rest of the country. I have a big problem with this structure. First and foremost because CCK is being proposed as BOTH the licensing authority as well as the licensed operator of the Root Certification Authority. The potential for conflict of interest is immediately evident, not to mention the fact that the end-to-end integrity of a structure that ensures top-down accountability is rendered completely void. Even worse was the mumbled suggestions by some of the government participants at the seminar that CCK might also act as the Government CA. In addition that is the fact that a project as crucial as this has not gone through a proper stakeholder consultative process and is seemingly being shoved down our throats. In his closing remarks a director a the E-Government directorate asked the ICT Board to engage stakeholders further and receive input before moving too far. I raised this point as a question during the Q & A session at the end of the seminar and would like to emphasise that it would be *very wrong* for CCK to be the Root Certification Authority for a number of reasons: 1. *Conflict of Interest:* As per the proposed structure the representative of Government, CCK needs to serve as the top level entity that handles the legal and regulatory framework and the national authentication plan. Adding a subsidiary role would not only compromise their integrity but would also expose them to all manner of challenges with regards to operation of an infrastructure that is supposed to be based on trust. 2. *Procurement Issues:* In sharing to a certain level of detail the complexity of the Root Authority setup, it became evident that there would be a continuous need for procurement of various goods and services. As a government agency, CCK is subject to public procurement regulations, this means that even very basic, small and simple items could take months if not years to procure. The problems with our public procurement are well known. Subjecting the Root Authority to this kind of environment is in itself a major risk for successful implementation and operation. 3. *Human Resource Issues:* Several times in their presentations the Koreans complained that they had observed a critical lack of human resources. They emphasized that they were not referring to *skilled*human resources but simply to *enough people* for the project requirements. Shock of shocks! With the incredible numbers of well educated Kenyans who are unemployed or underemployed? They could obviously have only been referring to what they had seen as far as the people available for the project from the Ministry and CCK. It is no secret that CCK has extremely limited human resources in their ICT division and those few are oveworked, stretched beyond measure and juggling multipe roles. Isn’t adding additional responsibilities into this mix a formula for disaster? 4. *Inertia*: CCK has proven to be very poor at the timely execution of functions that fall outside their core mandate of licensing, regulation and resource management. A perfect example is the implementation of the Universal Service Fund, which CCK insisted on handling as an inhouse function instead of facilitating the setup of a dedicated entity to handle the task. It has been over 6 years since regulation and legislation regarding the USF came into place and there is still nothing to speak of. I will reserve this as a subject for another day (it is a long and detailed one!) *Recommendations* The Government should immediately consider adopting a *Public Private Partnership* approach for the implementation of Kenya’s NPKI. This is especially timely because we now have a fully ratified Public Private Partnership Policy that provides a variety of models for project implementation. This will not only ensure involvement from crucial stakeholders but also free the Root Authority from the problems highlighted above (and probably many others) while at the same time ensuring that enough private sector energy and enthusiasm is infused into the project so that it moves with speed and determination. Success stories such as KENIC and TEAMS show that it is not only possible but that it can be done with ease.

Does anybody know what the best colocation data centers in Nairobi are? I see that KDN, AccessKenya, Safaricom all have data centers where one can colocate half a rack with room for expansion. Are there others? Do people know if some are better or worse than others? I'm investigating the establishment of an OpenStack cloud-based hosting service physically co-located in Nairobi.

Innovate Kenya (a tech challenge for kids)

http://www.innovatekenya.org I'm a big fan of getting people started younger in the tech space. We don't do enough as a community in high schools locally, and so when I heard about the "Innovate <country name>" project (some history here) and talked to the founder and president of it at MIT (David Sengeh's from Sierra Leone), I thought it might be a great platform for us to do here as well. They're planning an Innovate Kenya, and I think some local guys like Morris Mbetsa are already involved. Two ways to get involved: Help out as a mentor Tell local techie-type kids you know about it and get them to apply Cheers, Erik Hersman www.ushahidi.com | www.iHub.co.ke www.whiteafrican.com | @whiteafrican

Defrauding listers!

Hello Skunks! I hope you are all well. With regards to the subject of this Email, I have fallen victim to a lister here and I was wondering whether there was a blacklist somewhere so that another lister doesn't go that way in future. They promised to deliver after I made a down-payment and then what followed was the usual am busy call later, in a meeting can't talk, and then no longer picking my calls but when I use another line the lister cant wait for it to even ring once .... blah blah blah bleh bleh. I had assumed good faith but seems the brief case office(s) have found there way to this mailing list. I am not that name and shame guy but I certainly feel this is good faith on trial :) Have a good day folks. cheers, Stephen

System to facilitate running of a small factory
by Stephen 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

Hi everyone, I hope this finds you all well. I am looking for a computing systemfor afactory that deals with milling. May I first begin by briefly describing what happens at the milling plant. The lorries delivers maize which is measured for moisture content, whether GMO or not and for Aflatoxin. Once all the aforementioned tests are passed, the maize is weighed on a digital weigh bridge then the consignment is offloaded for storage before milling is done. The milling plant can produce flour as the primary product and bran as theby product. Thesetwo products are temporarily stored and later stashed in lorries to ferry to wholesale customers and other institutions while there will be a shop at the factory that shall be doing retailsales which should also be captured in the system. Some of the things I would like to capture are; when raw material is delivered, the weight of product, vehicle registration number and the name and contacts of supplier, the moisture content of the maize etc The system am thinking of should be able to give the state of the business at a given time. That could include, the inventory which includes the products (flour and bran) and the raw materials (primarily maize), pending payables, pending receivables, etc The system should also be capable of generating daily, weekly or monthly reports or for a period I wish to generate a report. The report could be having details about sales, tonnes of product sold,tonnes of by product sold in a given period, list of suppliers with their contacts. A module for processing salaries should also be included. Anyone with contacts of who I should contact regarding this is kindly requested to refer them to me and in case anything is not as clear from my explanation above, then feel free to ask for more info. best regards, Stephen

LPI applauds UN Organization Report
by Evans Ikua 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

LPI Applauds UN Organization Report (Sacramento, CA, USA: November 29, 2012) The Linux Professional Institute (LPI), the world's premier Linux certification organization (http://www.lpi.org) applauds the release of the flagship report "The Information Economy Report 2012: The Software Industry and Developing Countries" by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). The report provides specific recommendations on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for national policy makers and includes two examples of the value of LPI's training and certification programs for ICT development. "We are pleased to be included in this landmark study on the key drivers in the evolving global software landscape and how our program at LPI has played a role in the development of the IT industry within select geographies around the world," said Jim Lacey, president and CEO of LPI. "This report is also exemplary for the Free and Open Source Software community as it recognizes how FOSS solutions can offer both IT export opportunities and provide solutions for domestic software needs within national economies," added Mr.Lacey. LPI's programs are cited within the report as follows: * Within Chapter IV (Section B. FOSS and Local Software Industry Development, pg.66) is a case study entitled "Creating business and learning opportunities with FOSS in Africa: the case of ict@innovation". This example describes LPI's training and certification program with ict@innovation and goes on to state that the "provision of such courses can be a viable business opportunity. Moreover, by having certified staff, African IT enterprises involved in open source software can improve the quality of their services and win new clients." * In Chapter V: Policies To Enable National Software Systems, Section C: Securing Access to Relevant Skills (pg.93) the report describes LPI's joint program with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to support Linux certification and training within the 22 member countries of the League of Arab States. The case study notes this initiative followed a joint LPI/ITU pilot program in Afghanistan, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Occupied Palestinian Territory, Pakistan, Syrian Arab Republic and Yemen: "LPI's network of industry representatives, enterprise customers and Linux professionals recognize an economic interest in this training program as it connects to a community which speaks the local language. LPI’s mandate is to promote professional standards and global adoption of Linux and other open source software through training. It is expected that open source software will quickly become attractive for the majority of the region’s young ICT trainees as it has deep roots in community and collaborative work groups." FOSS related highlights include the following: * In "Chapter IV: The Role of Free and Open Source Software" (pg.62-63), the report describes the following values of FOSS to the development of national software industries: - Promotion of local learning - Lower costs and local value creation - Less dependence on specific technologies and vendors - Enable adaptation of software to local needs - Address concerns related to national security and long-term availability * The report's concluding policy recommendations (pg.108) also provides national governments with direction on enabling FOSS adoption and use: "Give adequate attention to FOSS, especially in public procurement:...FOSS can promote domestic market development and local innovation. Rather than purchasing software licences and services abroad, local FOSS development, sales and services can help keep resources within the local economy, avoid dependency on specific vendors and provide opportunities for income generation and employment. FOSS can also enable local software SMEs to establish new niche markets. Governments should seize the various advantages of relying on FOSS when this offers a competitive solution to their software needs. Technological trends, especially with regard to cloud computing, mobile applications and big data, are further accentuating the reliance on FOSS." The full report is available at:http://unctad.org/en/PublicationsLibrary/ier2012_en.pdf The Linux Professional Institute is globally supported by the IT industry, enterprise customers, community professionals, government entities and the educational community. LPI's certification program is supported by an affiliate network spanning five continents and is distributed worldwide in multiple languages at more than 5,000 testing locations. Since 1999, LPI has delivered over 350,000+ exams and 120,000+ LPIC certifications around the world. # # # About the Linux Professional Institute: The Linux Professional Institute provides a global framework, industry leadership and other services to enhance, develop and further lifelong professional careers in Linux and Open Source technologies.

cost of MPLS links within Nairobi ?
by ashok+skunkworks＠parliaments.info 15 Mar '13

Could anyone help me with ballpark costs for MPLS links between 2 locations in Nairobi (lets say between Westlands and CBD) ? I have been given figures like KSH 24,000 / MB ( including port charges and last mile ) / per month... is that a realistic figure ? It seemed unusually high to me given that there is fibre between Westlands and CBD .

Google Reader
by Brian L 15 Mar '13

I switched from firefox to chrome in late 2008. With that move came a change on how I accessed my RSS feeds content because of then there were no extensions on the browser. Google had a solution Google Reader which made life bearable then. However it is with great disappointment that it has been announced that google are killing off the reader. My question here is those of you who subscribe to RSS feeds on chrome, What do you use? Before you tell me to visit the chrome webstore, I am looking for opinions for RSS readers that will not consume precious time trying to configure. Just like I know your time is precious I end here.
