Given a git commit hash, how to find out which kernel release contains it?

August 10, 2022 by Magenaut

Assume I have some issue that was fixed by a recent patch to the official Linux git repository. I have a work around, but I’d like to undo it when a release happens that contains my the fix. I know the exact git commit hash, e.g. f3a1ef9cee4812e2d08c855eb373f0d83433e34c.

How do I get the creation date of a file on an NTFS logical volume?

August 9, 2022 by Magenaut

I created an NTFS logical volume on my Linux system for Windows file storage because I want to retain the creation date of my files (I would probably zip them into an archive and then unzip them, though I have no idea if that would work). Does NTFS-3G save the creation date of files on Linux? If so, how do I access it?

How can a process appear to have different name in ps output?

August 9, 2022 by Magenaut

recently I had to clean up a hacked server. The malicious process would appear as “who” or “ifconfig eth0” or something like that in “ps aux” output, even tough the executable was just a jumble of letters, which was shown in /proc/[pid]/status .
