Hack the Hack Week toolan invention by hennevogel This project is about advancing the tool you're currently browsing. It got started back in Hack Week 9 to retire all the weird tools we've used in the past to track ideas. As you can see it has gone far but is still far from done. There are lots of features missing and bugs to be fixed on github. Get going! |
crash-pythona project by jeff_mahoney New Development In previous hack weeks, the first few days ended up being wasted on just getting it working. I'm pleased to share that the code quality has improved dramatically since the last hack week and there are now extensive test cases for both unit testing and testing against real vmcores, and we'll use both mypy and pylint (if installed) to perform static analysis. Packages for those are available in openSUSE or as part of the crash-python OBS repo for SLE15. It has been tested with kernels from 3.0 to 5.1. |

virtio-serial in OpenStacka project by e_bischoff Currently, the usual way to communicate with VM instances in the cloud from outside is ssh. This is okay for most uses, but a) does not work when you mess up with the guest's ability to network and b) requires a free floating IP. I wonder if, for qemu/kvm instances, it would be possible to use virtio-serial possibilities : from the guest, it is seen as a serial port, and from the outside, it is seen as a UNIX socket, or as something else. It is fast, as it does not go through virtualization and device drivers. |
x86 instructions decodera project by bpetkov This is the tool I've been working on since HW11 and it needs more work. Actually, there's always something which could be done on it. It is basically an x86 instruction decoder with special emphasis on the kernel and decoding interesting pieces of it in order to help in the development of low-level patching techniques, among others. git repo: https://gitlab.suse.de/bp/x86d |
Google Hangouts killer: WebRTC-based video conferencing systema project by ancorgs We have some internal systems for videoconferencing like Big Blue Button or OpenMeetings. But in my experience none of them can compare to Google Hangouts, which is still the best free (as in free beer) alternative for videoconferencing with integrated screen sharing. While implementing an alternative to Sqwiggle on previous hackweek, I discovered Janus, a lightweight WebRTC gateway that proved to be a quite capable tool to implement video applications. |

UI for the Docker registrya project by flavio_castelli One of the winning factors of Docker is the Docker Hub. This the a place where the Docker community shares their images. Thanks to Docker's integrated build system it is possible to create new Docker images by just extending an existing one. That's why the Docker Hub is so useful. |
Test openQA in openQA with openQA using openQA for openQAa project by RBrownSUSE Occasionally, new versions of openQA break things. How do you stop that? MORE TESTING! Testing openQA by using openQA to ensure the new versions don't break should be a good example of how openQA can test everything and anything, even itself. |

Brand new UI for deploying OpenStack in Crowbaran idea by vuntz Right now, Crowbar exposes a barclamp UI for each OpenStack component. This is not really optimal, imho. I think a better approach would be to have a single barclamp UI where we can configure everything, before deploying OpenStack. |
Release DAPS 2.0a project by fsundermeyer DAPS, the "DocBook Authoring and Publishing Suite" provides a tool set for easy creation and publication of DocBook sources on Linux. DAPS lets you create HTML (incl. webhelp), PDF, EPUB, man pages, and other formats with a single command. DAPS is used and developed by teh SUSE documentation team. The official DAPS release is 1.1.7. SUSE internally DAPS 2.0 rc2 has been released. A few issues need to be fixed (mainly closing open bugs and adding missing test cases). The goal of this project is to fix these issues, so DAPS 2.0 can be publicly released. |

Bootstrap openSUSE for MIPSa project by a_faerber While in the past MIPS boards were either low-end PIC32 or found in routers running OpenWRT at most, Imagination themselves have recently released the Creator CI20 board (Ingenic, MIPS32) running Debian. And the Shield Pro (previously iGuardian) kickstarter project (Octeon-III, MIPS64) promises to become a playground for testing KVM hardware virtualization. Porting openSUSE to MIPS will involve setting up an OBS instance linked to Factory (update: done) and cross-compiling a set of packages for an initial bootstrap (update: in progress). Maybe this can be scripted to some degree, as there will be some overlap with the ARM ILP32 port project. |

Chromium/Chrome extension for SSL pinningan idea by thardeck Most browsers have more than 100 CA certificates (for example Firefox ~176) and everyone of them can sign certificates for any website. So if anyone of them is hacked, forced by law or just corrupt a man-in-the-middle attack is possible on any SSL connection. |
Support for WiFi-enabled Canon cameras in gphotoa project by michal-m I have a Canon PowerShot S120, which allows for browsing / copying photos over WiFi. There are apps for Android, iOS, and Windows to do that. The protocol uses upnp to discover the camera and the smartphone/computer and them some HTTP-based protocol. I have some code using libupnp for the discovery and a perl script that is capable of transfering one file, but it's far from complete. Plus, I need to refresh my memory, because the last commit is from January :-(. Now, there seems to be some support for such cameras in gphoto already. So the plan is to dive into gphoto and use what I learned about the protocol to fix the gphoto support. If you own some other WiFi-enabled Canon camera supported by the CameraWindow software, let me know. |

Integrate e1000e into the Linux Kernel Backports projecta project by benjamin_poirier The current approach to having new hardware support and features in SLE kernels it to integrate changes to individual drivers from the mainline kernel back into the SLE kernel. The Linux Kernel Backports project (https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/) in comparison has an approach which consists in adding a shim layer between unmodified mainline drivers and older kernel interfaces. This project has its roots in wireless drivers. It currently supports only a handful of old ethernet adapters. The goal of this hackweek project is to integrate support for the Intel 1Gb pci-express ethernet driver e1000e into the Backports project. This particular driver was chosen because it is widely used and modern while not being exotic. |
Nailing Products to a Dashboarda project by m_meister Nailed is a Sinatra app which currently shows Bugzilla, Github and Jenkins [WIP] data. The data gets fetched/refreshed by a ruby command line tool in the background. you can have a look at a running instance on http://nailed.cloud.suse.de |

Automate OMVF/shim/MOK testsa project by gary_lin I previously created a semi-auto test script() for MOK. The script controls the QEMU virtual machine a pre-setup image and performs two simple test cases. It's tedious to setup the images for every SLE and openSUSE. My goal is to write a script to automatically set up the virtual machines and images and do a full test. I would also like to set up a test for weekly-built OVMF. openQA might be a good reference.

write mkcloudcloud - a nested cloud setup softwarea project by bmwiedemann In https://github.com/SUSE-Cloud/automation/ we already have mkcloud, which can setup a whole SUSE Cloud on a single host for testing. However, it would be cool, if (instead of a single machine) we could use cloud.suse.de with its capability to add extra networks as requested. This can be pretty easy, as much of the mkcloud code is about making libvirt do the right thing |
openQA webVTT subtitlesa project by bmwiedemann The webVTT standard (nearly the same as the older SRT subtitles) allows to add subtitles to a video. We could use this in openQA to show which keys were pressed at that point in the video, in which line of code we were or on what event we waited. This could make debugging easier and might be instructive to users, too. |

Multiqueue ramdiska project by hreinecke There is a ramdisk block device (brd), and there is a null multiqueue device (nullblk). The one can do I/O, but doesn't use multiqueue, and the other does multiqueue but cannot do I/O. So the idea is to have a new multiqueue ramdisk block device (ramblk?), which can do both. Would be most useful for testing multiqueue. |
Tumbleweed as a Server OS?a project by RBrownSUSE My home server, and my other box hosting https://sysrich.co.uk are both in need of a bit of a refresh While I could be nice and conservative and pick an openSUSE regular release, I'm actually considering using openSUSE Tumbleweed, and fully embracing the 'Servers as Cattle' concept |
Search in internal wikia project by yosun Now we are lack of using internal wiki page to solve problem. One of the reason is that we don't know if it contain the solution we need, and it's not convenient to search it manually in wiki page. It's much more slower than using google. In one group, we are most likely facing the same problem during work. So keeping the best solution, which we got from searching engine, in internal wiki is an efficiency way to collect standard workflow. |

Tool to update images in an OpenStack Cloudan idea by tbechtold Currently there is an internal OpenStack instance (cloud.suse.de). Most of the images there are outdated so it's common that everybody just uploads a new image. Would be nice to have a tool which updates at least the most common images (SLE11&12, openSUSE, CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora) automatically once a day. So ater spawning a new VM, there would be no need to first update (and maybe reboot) the machine or upload a new image before you can start to work. |

Scalability improvement for running tiedot database on SMP systemsan invention by guohouzuo tiedot is a general purpose, document database engine designed for both embeddable usage and running stand-alone DB server, implemented in Go. Despite the effort of partitioning collection data and indexes, a single tiedot process still cannot scale beyond 4 CPU cores due to limitations of both data structure and Go runtime. Last year, an attempt began to partition data across multiple tiedot processes, and use IPC for communication and database logics. Initial benchmarks show promising scalability improvement using the new implementation. So let us complete the new implementation together, to bring the most scalable & embeddable DB engine for Go programs! |

SMBIOS 3.0 support in dmidecodean invention by jdelvare On February 12th, 2015, the DMTF released version 3.0.0 of the System Management BIOS Reference Specification. This update isn't just adding enumerated values to existing structures, as previous updates did. It is also introducing a new entry point format which allows for larger tables and structures. Support for this needs to be added to dmidecode. Additionally, reading the entry point and the table from /dev/mem is no longer possible on all systems, so some work is in progress to offer an alternative interface through sysfs. It would be great to finalize this and release a new version of dmidecode that would support both SMBIOS version 3.0 and this new kernel interface. |
Porting SHA1 codes to EFI stub environmenta project by joeyli For Hibernate Signature Verification - HMAC version, I need a hash algorithm in EFI stub environment before ExitBootServices() to mix / mess random seed from different sources (rdtsc, rdrand...) for generating the HMAC key to sign the hibernate image in runtime environment. There have no any hash functions provides by EFI services, so need implement it in EFI stub.

VNC keyboard layout test toola project by michalsrb VNC protocol transfers key symbols (= basically characters), not key codes (= "coordinates" on keyboard). Therefore pressing the same keys may result in sending different commands over VNC depending on the keyboard layout and state of modifiers on the client side. The server however can not directly send the key symbol to the application, it must instead find or create key code that will translate to that symbol and send that. This is hard to implement correctly and there was already several bugs about it. |

Try to model check gfp_flags with cbmca project by vbabka Paul McKenney's blog article inspired me to try apply his approach to kernel's memory allocation flags (gfp_flags) and how their combinations affect the decisions and actions taken during page allocation. Recent upstream development around these flags leads me to believe that the complexity is too high for me to reason about them and change the code without unintended changes in semantics. So it might be worth to let the computer do the hard work. If it works out, the approach should allow to verify that changing the code doesn't result in corner cases where some flag combinations don't work as intended. Then we can attempt to e.g. reduce the number of flags and perform other cleanups without fear of breaking everything. |

Set up a PXEboot service for installation in Developlent Networks in the SUSE Nuernberg Officea project by eeich <p>PXE boot is a quick and easy way to install any SUSE/openSUSE product on a machine. It doesn't require any boot media and today virtually any system is capable of booting using PXE. </p> <p>The architecture team maintains a tftp server with boot loaders, boot loader configurations and installation images for a variety of architectures and products. Currently in the Nuernberg office this PXE boot service is only available in the network of the architecture team. Since tftp is unicast, the server should be reachable from anywhere in the internal network. What is missing is the information about the address of the tftp server and the image to boot from this server. |
Bootstrap Maven in OBSa project by a_faerber Apache Maven is a build tool used by many Java projects, which is incompatible with OBS in that it tries to download binary dependencies from the Internet. Several people have in the past years tried to somehow bootstrap Maven and failed. My new proposed approach is a Maven, patched to obtain packages from a filesystem location, and packages with .jar based -bootstrap.spec variant plus source-based build for properly modeling dependencies in OBS. Unlike the SUSE Manager team's work I am trying to rebuild those .jars from sources. Where necessary I am patching dependency versions to the latest sources/jars packaged. |

The Xen community decided, rightly so, that this functionality is best provided by a higher-level management tool, e.g. libvirt. This project aims to provide integration between libvirt's lock manager and the libxl hypervisor driver, essentially reintroducing support for disk device protection in the Xen management stack. |
Experience with SLERT11 SP3 and try build SLERT11 SP4 Alpha 2 imagea project by Jeffreycheung Due to the newly appointed PM of SLERT 11 SP4, I would like to try out the SLERT 11 SP3 to experience the REAL TIME features so that I can talk and share the knowledge to team and other people Due to SLERT11 Alpha 2 image set at 28 April, I would like to take a chance at hackweek to try build the image because I never did any similar before. |

[ARM] Bootstrap ILP32 on AArch64a project by algraf Some customers are still stuck in a world of 32bit. On ARM64, we have two options for those poor folks: 1) Run applications in the legacy ARMv7 instruction set |
YaST module for smarmontoolsan idea by sbrabec smartmontools has a number of options that fine tune disk checking, periodic tests, short tests, values to monitor, values to ignore. It would be nice to have a tool to easily configure it. |
Improve posixovl to support fully featured POSIX file system on top of any limited file system (e. g. vfat)a project by sbrabec posixovl is a FUSE based successor of the old UMSDOS. It has a goal to provide POSIX file system functionality on top of vfat. Its code is nice and well written, but its feature set is not complete yet. It just supports: POSIX modes and user/group, hard and symbolic links, device nodes and named pipes. Much more can be done: |
Simple user interface for head mounted displaysa project by chuller Create a user interface useable with a see through head mounted display. The display was created from some Chinese video glasses and has a low resolution (320x240) which requires a optimized user interface that also is useful when using it hands free. The existing Head mounted display: https://jamballa.wordpress.com/2015/01/26/steampunked-hmd-1st-iteration/ |
Chromium/Chrome extension to always allow saving passwordsa record by thardeck Chromium/Chrome is - unlike Firefox - not able to save the password for many sites. There is already one extension which should fix this but doesn't work and there is also the Chrome Lastpass extension which is not supposed to have this problem but since I don't really need the other features it is no option. |
Research about existing Google Drive Linux clientsan invention by sndirsch Get an overview about the unofficial Google Drive clients, which exist for Linux. Give them a broader testing. Figure out which one is usable. * grive: With using that client I've seen fatal issues, e.g. I've created a folder upstream and uploaded some files to it. When running |
Simplify packaging our booksa project by keichwa Our books are also available as regular software packages such as 'sles-manuals_en'. There is a semi-private script that I use to generate the requisites (fetch the old version from the BS, tar the XML sources with daps, update .spec and .changes, etc.) and to submit the results to the BS. |
Dive into drbd8.4.x and drbd9a project by wanghaisu DRBD refers to block devices designed as a building block to form high availability (HA) clusters.Also possible to combine multiple devices driver for Linux(MD) and the network block device(NBD) to achieve similar functionality. DRBD is done by mirroring a whole block device via an assigned network. DRBD can be understood as network based raid-1. Only two nodes are supported in 8.4.x. For the drbd9(dev in RC phase), multiple nodes can be supported as well. Diving into it and do hacks. |
Port a fake signal optimization to kGrafta project by mbenes We currently work on a consistency model for upstream livepatching infrastructure. We use something called a fake signal to speed up a finalization of the patching process. I'll port the implementation to kGraft in SLES which should allow to remove immediate patching since it has recently proved to be problematic... |
Fix a focus stealing bug in pidgin in openSUSEa project by moskyto I have an IRC tab open in pidgin and an adjacent XMPP tab; the latter one displayed with focus. When a new XMPP tab opens in background (with a message incoming), the IRC tab steals the focus but not the display. It brings annoying situations when I sometimes send something accidentally to the IRC instead of XMPP, not noticing that I don't have focus. Wanna hunt and fix this bug. |
gocloud - uploader framework for the public clouda project by sax2 We from the public cloud dev team regularly upload generic and product images to be available in public cloud systems like Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine or Microsoft Azure. The task of uploading stuff there is not only about having the tools it's also about having the right environment which provides account credentials as well as access to the image when they are built in the buildservice. Also the location from where the upload happens can make a difference in performance. Therefore a framework to combine all this into a more clean process should be developed. The basic parts of the project consists of: |
package upstream test suite for 'bind'an idea by hrommel1 Upstream (ISC) has a rich test suite for their name service daemon 'bind' (aka 'named'). It covers both different configurations as well as different topologies for DNS. Since we perform maintenance updates of this (probably most crucial) part of the Internet every now and then we should invest into making this test suite easy to use both for packagers and QA. |
VI for XML/DocBookan idea by tbazant Explore the VI(M) editor environment (scripts, settings, plugins) that ease writing XML/DocBook documents, possibly DTD-driven. |
gdb - better disassemblya project by alnovak The disassembly in gdb is not ideal. The binding with source code lines is weird (even crash, which does use gdb beneath, does that better), I don't see the jump targets; furthermore, there's a lot more informations hidden in the DWARF2 which may be of some interest - like which code is inlined, or which register/stack address should contain some variable. My goal is to search for a way how to improve that. |
QA Data Analysis Tool(Framework)a project by lzwang A frame work for automatically analysis the result of the performance test. The tool can be used manully as well as used throught openAPI. |
Rewrite zypprepo puppet modulea project by tampakrap The zypprepo was written around 3 years ago, and was based on the yumrepo built-in type/provider. Nowadays zypprepo misses a lot of functionality, which will be automatically inherited if it gets rewritten to be in sync with the current code of yumrepo (as also discussed in its issues #5 and #9). If time permits, solving issue #4 would be also really useful. |

Update cpan modules in OBSan invention by coolo devel:languages:perl has 2662 packages, but many of them are outdated because it's just a fight no man can win to update them. So we update them whenver we hit a problem. But this is evil: I count 2662 packages in devel:languages:perl and 1188 of them are outdated. So I'll write a script... just as we did with gems |

Explore Clojure with Project Eulera project by bkutil As a part of this hackweek, I'd like to take a look at Clojure and use it to solve as many problems as possible from the project euler. |
AppArmor utils: rewrite more rule types into classesan invention by cboltz While the python-based AppArmor utils (aa-logprof etc.) are much easier to understand and maintain than the old perl code, there are still some terribly long functions like parseprofiledata() in aa.py that are not too easy to understand. Also, using hasher() (a recursive array) as storage can have some strange side effects. Another problem is that test coverage isn't too good, especially for the bigger functions. I already wrote the CapabilityRule and CapabilityRuleset classes (and also the BaseRule and BaseRuleset classes) some months ago, and changed the code to use those classes. This code is already in upstream bzr. |

Create evdev Event Recorder & Playback Drivera project by eeich <p> The user space interface of evdev is pretty generic. All hardware abstraction is done in the kernel driver, device properties are mapped to a set of generic properties. The properties can be queried thru a generic interface only very few parameters are set from user space. In user space the evdev API is used by Xorg's evdev driver and libinput. |
Wireshark hacking & miscellanous funan idea by npower I have no one vision of a project just some mish-mash random things I would like to explore for some hacking fun + would like to continue previous work from hackweek11 on the Windows Protocol dissector, some messages are still incomplete, also there are some known bugs (well at least I know about them) that I would like to address |
Create working AppArmor profile for Chromium on openSUSE 13.2a project by thardeck I think AppArmor is a great tool to add an additional layer of security without much effort. While it is normally easy to create a profile for a simple server program it is much more complex in case of desktop applications. The most vulnerable desktop application is the browser so it would be great to have an AppArmor profile for it. |
updating rpms in docker containersa project by jordimassaguerpla The docker way of updating containers is to build a new image with the updated binaries and files, which creates a security concern. The docker way is not anymore running "zypper update" in the containment but to update the whole image in the image registry (hub docker if we are talking about public registry) and then pull the image update from there, stop the outdated containments and replace them by starting new containments based on the new image. |
Build Time Source Service supporta project by adrianSuSE OBS source services can currenlty run on the developer workstation and some of them also on the OBS server side. The goal of this project is to allow everybody running source services as part of their build job. Therefore we will introduce a new "buildtime" mode. The OBS server will pull in the needed service packages and run them before calling rpmbuild or friends. |
Hack Week 12 Lightning Talksa project by cschum We will have a series of short lightning talks to present what we have accomplished at Hack Week 12. In Nürnberg this will happen on Friday 17th Apr at 12:30 as part of the lunch session in the all-hands area. Lunch is served at 12:00, so you have a bit of time to settle in and satisfy your immediate needs before we go into presentation mode.
