I've used them for a couple of years cool hardware they got performance wise it really does what it's supposed to do. I recommend it for people that wanted a more automated approach to DDoS Mitigation.

It's quite kind for riorey to publish their Taxonomy of DDoS Attacks. pretty nice read.

VirtualBox 4.1.10 on Solaris 10 Update 10

I've been building a cool lab using Virtualbox 4.1.10 and run it under a headless setup on Solaris 10 Update 10. I've been hitting a wall with a silly error

Installing Python bindings...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./vboxapisetup.py", line 14, in ?
from distutils.core import setup
ImportError: No module named distutils.core
- Installed: Bindings for Python 2.6

Installation of was successful.

VirtualBox installs fine but I want to find out why is that error creeping out whereas it should be just a smooth install. I hopped into the forums and found that it's an old error and was fixed by installing SUNWPython-devel.. but no dice I have the file installed but my issue still continues..

$ pkginfo | grep Python
GNOME2 SUNWPython The Python interpreter, libraries and utilities
GNOME2 SUNWPython-devel The Python interpreter, libraries and utilities - development files
GNOME2 SUNWPython-share The Python interperer, libraries and utilities - platform independent files, /usr/sfw/share
system SUNWlxml-python The XML library - Python bindings
system SUNWlxsl-python The XSLT library - Python bindings

I found the file that is breaking it's python hopping which is the reason why it breaks.

I checked the script and it's pointing to another script named vboxconfig.sh, Since it shows that it won't stay put on just one version of python I decided to just cut the code where it does auto-detection (more like auto-defect than detect here)

PYTHONBIN=`which python 2> /dev/null`

if test -f "$PYTHONBIN" || test -h "$PYTHONBIN"; then

infoprint "Installing Python bindings..."

# PYTHONBIN=`which python2.4 2>/dev/null`
