Exposing your clipboard over SSH

I frequently administer remote servers over SSH, and need to copy data to my clipboard. If the text I want to copy all fits on one screen, then I simply select it with my mouse and press CMD-C, which asks relies on m y terminal emulator (xterm2) to throw it to the clipboard.

This isn't practical for larger texts, like when I want to copy the whole contents of a file.

If I had been editing large-file.txt locally, I could easily copy its contents by using the pbcopy command:

#Simple Firewall Script.
#Add "pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules" to /etc/network/interfaces

#Setting up default kernel tunings here (don't worry too much about these right now, they are acceptable defaults) #DROP ICMP echo-requests sent to broadcast/multi-cast addresses.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
#DROP source routed packets
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/accept_source_route
#Enable TCP SYN cookies
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies

This is a quick guide of the commands we use to sign someone's GPG key in a virtual key signing party.

Note: The steps cover only the technical aspects of signing someone's key. Before signing someone's key, you must verify their identity. This is usually done by showing government-issued ID and confirming the key's fingerprint

The commands will work for both GPG and GPG2.

I use Julian's key for the examples. His key id is 2AD3FAE3. You should substitute with the appropriate key id when running the commands.

Signing the key

1. List the keys currently in your keyring: gpg --list-keys.
