Ghosting The Machine<\/p>\n

This is a short but potentially extremely handy guide to ghosting one Linux box to another (or simply making a full backup of a desktop\/server). Credit goes to ‘topdog’ for this.<\/p>\n

You might have a small office where you customise one desktop just how you like it and need to roll this out to N other PC’s or simply want a backup of a server or desktop to another machine or even to an image file.<\/p>\n

The main tool here is netcat which is extremely powerful and has a multitude of other great uses that won’t be covered here.<\/p>\n

Target Machine:<\/p>\n

** Boot to linux rescue mode with networking (CentOS works fine)<\/p>\n

Initiate netcat to listen on port 30 – # nc -l -p | dd of=\/dev\/sda (assuming the hard drive is sda and not hda):<\/p>\n

# nc -l -p 30 | dd of=\/dev\/sda<\/p>\n

Source Machine:<\/p>\n

Dump the contents of the disk to the target PC – #dd if=\/dev\/sda | nc \n

# dd if=\/dev\/sda | nc 192.168.0.20 30<\/p>\n

Then to check that traffic is flowing, on the source go to another terminal (ALT\/F2) and dump the tcp data on the NIC (assuming it’s eth0):<\/p>\n

tcpdump -tnli eth0 port 30<\/p>\n

If you just want a backup image you could change the above output on the taget to:<\/p>\n

# nc -l -p 30 | dd of=mybackup.img<\/p>\n

That’s it. Naturally the target PC\/disk cannot be smaller than the source:) I hope this saves someone a lot of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
