How to Code in Python 3 metaprogramming!

Some of the most significant changes in Python 3 are related to metaprogramming. In this tutorial, I'll cover decorators, class decorators, descriptors, and metaclasses. However, the focus will be on idioms and examples that are only....

Raspberry Pi Wireless Attack Toolkit

Raspberry Pi Wireless Attack Toolkit

A collection of pre-configured or automatically-configured tools that automate and ease the process of creating robust Man-in-the-middle attacks. The toolkit allows your to easily select between several attack modes and is specifically designed to be easily extendable with custom payloads, tools, and attacks.
The cornerstone of this project is the ability to inject Browser Exploitation Framework Hooks into a web browser without any warnings, alarms, or alerts to the user. 

We accomplish this objective mainly through wireless attacks, but also have a limpet mine mode with ettercap and a few other tricks.

Limpet Mine Mode:
Poisons a network with ettercap + runs MITM Attacks

Passive Wireless Mode:
Free Wifi anyone?

Agressive Wireless Mode:
Become every access point with hostapd-karma

Once the RaspberryPi becomes the gateway, it fires up a MITM DNS server, metasploit, BEEF, and an injection proxy server for HTTP which injects the BEEF hook. From there, you log into the beef console and start popping shell.

It's in Alpha, so complain about things you want to see in it now.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How to Upgrade Wine from the Older version to Wine1.5 on uBuntu

I am new to Wine and anything like it. I want to run the application "ATCS Monitor". When I installed ATCS Monitor I received an error message:

C:\windows\system32\wshom.ocx

Unable to register the DLL/OCX: RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x1

-From Terminal-

err:typelib:sltg_get_typelib_ref Unable to find reference
err:module:import_dll Library ScrRun.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\wshom.ocx") not found

I can get through it by just ignoring it but I then have errors in ATCS Monitor.

First, upgrade to Wine 1.3.35. Wine 1.2.3 is almost a year old and is 
missing some very important updates. 

Second, do a search for the file in the directory $HOME/.wine I suspect 
that either it is not there or it is in the same directory as where the 
program installed. ...

Ubuntu and Ubuntu derivatives (such as Kubuntu) obtain software from packages which are stored in repositories. Ubuntu's default repository includes Wine, however if you want to stay up to date with the latest Wine package you can use WineHQ's by following these instructions.

Adding the WineHQ PPA Repository:

Open the Software Sources menu by launching the Ubuntu Software Center and selecting Edit->Software Sources. Choose the Other Software tab and click Add.

Then, copy and paste the line below.

ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

Warning: Beta packages

The 1.5 packages here are beta packages. This means they will periodically suffer from regressions, and as a result an update may break functionality in Wine. If the stable 1.4 Wine version works for you, then you may not want to use these beta packages.

Installing Wine:

Once you have added the WineHQ PPA Repository, you are ready to install.

To get the most recent Wine 1.5 beta, click this link to install the wine1.5 package.

To install the older, stable Wine 1.4 version, click this link to install the wine1.4 package.

Upgrading to a new version of Ubuntu

If you are upgrading the entire system, such as going from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04, you will need to come back to this page and add the repository again. The built in update manager will not switch the Wine repository automatically.

Alternative Command Line Instructions for Installing Wine:

It is also possible to add the Wine PPA and install via the terminal. This may be useful on Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and other Ubuntu derivatives.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

Then update APT package information by running 'sudo apt-get update'. You can now install Wine by typing 'sudo apt-get install wine1.5'.

If you'd like to browse the PPA manually, you can visit its Launchpad page.

HOW TO Solve issue Nvidia & X.org Server Problems on Linux or BackTrack5

1. I spent a week trying to resolve the error generated by X.org Server and Nvidia drivers, and I think I've finally solved.
   This is the solution for my Nvidia GT540M & Intel i7-2670QM (ASUS X53SV-SX598V)
   1. Download NVIDIA driver from here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html.
   I use Linux x86_64/AMD64/EM64T (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-285.05.09.run) for my system at 64bit
   2. Install system updates
   

   Code:

   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

   3. Install linux-header to the upgraded kernel
   

   Code:

   sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

   4. If dkms and build essential haven't been installed
   

   Code:

   sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential

   5. Open blacklist.conf file to add some lines (I use vi command)
   

   Code:

   vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

   6. Press i and after others “blacklist” list add this list
   

   Code:

   blacklist vga16fb
   blacklist nouveau
   blacklist rivafb
   blacklist nvidiafb
   blacklist rivatv

   7. After that, press ESC and type :wq (this write the file)
   8. Make grub.cfg writable
   

   Code:

   chmod +w /boot/grub/grub.cfg

   9. Open grub.cfg file
   

   Code:

   vi /boot/grub/grub.cfg

   10. Find text splash text inside the document and add nouveau.modeset=0 text like this
   

   Code:

   text splash nouveau.modeset=0 vga=791

   11. After that, press ESC and type :wq (this write the file)
   12. Disable writable mode to grub.cfg file
   

   Code:

   chmod -w /boot/grub/grub.cfg

   13. Update grub.cfg file
   

   Code:

   update-grub‎

   14. Reboot
   15. Login and don’t write startx
   16. Remove all previous Nvidia drivers
   

   Code:

   sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*

   17. Remove default drivers
   

   Code:

   sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

   18. Chmod the nvidia driver file
   

   Code:

   chmod a+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-285.05.09.run

   19. Run the nvidia driver*
   

   Code:

   sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-285.05.09.run

   *If you use a 64bit system don’t install the OpenGL 32bit
   20. Reboot
   
   If you have a problem like this:
   

   Code:

    
   X.Org X Server 1.7.6
   Release Date: 2010-03-17
   X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
   Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.24-28-server x86_64 Ubuntu
   [...]
   Fatal server error:
   no screens found

   
   

   It means that the automatic writing of xorg.conf (nvidia-xconfig command) during installation is not successful., but the driver has been installed correctly.
   To solve this problem just delete the xorg.conf file:

   
   

   Code:

   rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

   When you restart the PC the file xorg.conf file will be created automatically.
   Reebot and type
   

   Code:

The Ultimate Tar Command Tutorial with 10 Practical Examples

by SATHIYAMOORTHY on APRIL 26, 2010

On Unix platform, tar command is the primary archiving utility. Understanding various tar command options will help you master the archive file manipulation.

In this article, let us review various tar examples including how to create tar archives (with gzip and bzip compression), extract a single file or directory, view tar archive contents, validate the integrity of tar archives, finding out the difference between tar archive and file system, estimate the size of the tar archives before creating it etc.,

1. Creating an archive using tar command

Creating an uncompressed tar archive using option cvf

This is the basic command to create a tar archive.

$ tar cvf archive_name.tar dirname/

In the above command:

• c – create a new archive
• v – verbosely list files which are processed.
• f – following is the archive file name

Creating a tar gzipped archive using option cvzf

The above tar cvf option, does not provide any compression. To use a gzip compression on the tar archive, use the z option as shown below.

$ tar cvzf archive_name.tar.gz dirname/

• z – filter the archive through gzip

Note: .tgz is same as .tar.gz

Note: I like to keep the ‘cvf’ (or tvf, or xvf) option unchanged for all archive creation (or view, or extract) and add additional option at the end, which is easier to remember. i.e cvf for archive creation, cvfz for compressed gzip archive creation, cvfj for compressed bzip2 archive creation etc., For this method to work properly, don’t give – in front of the options.

Creating a bzipped tar archive using option cvjf

Create a bzip2 tar archive as shown below:

$ tar cvfj archive_name.tar.bz2 dirname/

• j – filter the archive through bzip2

gzip vs bzip2: bzip2 takes more time to compress and decompress than gzip. bzip2 archival size is less than gzip.

Note: .tbz and .tb2 is same as .tar.bz2

2. Extracting (untar) an archive using tar command

Extract a *.tar file using option xvf

Extract a tar file using option x as shown below:

$ tar xvf archive_name.tar

• x – extract files from archive

Extract a gzipped tar archive ( *.tar.gz ) using option xvzf

Use the option z for uncompressing a gzip tar archive.

$ tar xvfz archive_name.tar.gz

Extracting a bzipped tar archive ( *.tar.bz2 ) using option xvjf

Use the option j for uncompressing a bzip2 tar archive.

$ tar xvfj archive_name.tar.bz2

Note: In all the above commands v is optional, which lists the file being processed.

3. Listing an archive using tar command

View the tar archive file content without extracting using option tvf

You can view the *.tar file content before extracting as shown below.

$ tar tvf archive_name.tar

View the *.tar.gz file content without extracting using option tvzf

You can view the *.tar.gz file content before extracting as shown below.

$ tar tvfz archive_name.tar.gz

View the *.tar.bz2 file content without extracting using option tvjf

You can view the *.tar.bz2 file content before extracting as shown below.

$ tar tvfj archive_name.tar.bz2

4. Listing out the tar file content with less command

When the number of files in an archive is more, you may pipe the output of tar to less. But, you can also use less command directly to view the tar archive output, as explained in one of our previous article Open & View 10 Different File Types with Linux Less Command — The Ultimate Power of Less.

5. Extract a single file from tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2 file

To extract a specific file from a tar archive, specify the file name at the end of the tar xvf command as shown below. The following command extracts only a specific file from a large tar file.

$ tar xvf archive_file.tar /path/to/file

Use the relevant option z or j according to the compression method gzip or bzip2 respectively as shown below.

$ tar xvfz archive_file.tar.gz /path/to/file

$ tar xvfj archive_file.tar.bz2 /path/to/file

6. Extract a single directory from tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2 file

To extract a single directory (along with it’s subdirectory and files) from a tar archive, specify the directory name at the end of the tar xvf command as shown below. The following extracts only a specific directory from a large tar file.

$ tar xvf archive_file.tar /path/to/dir/

To extract multiple directories from a tar archive, specify those individual directory names at the end of the tar xvf command as shown below.

$ tar xvf archive_file.tar /path/to/dir1/ /path/to/dir2/

Use the relevant option z or j according to the compression method gzip or bzip2 respectively as shown below.

$ tar xvfz archive_file.tar.gz /path/to/dir/

$ tar xvfj archive_file.tar.bz2 /path/to/dir/

7. Extract group of files from tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2 archives using regular expression

You can specify a regex, to extract files matching a specified pattern. For example, following tar command extracts all the files with pl extension.

$ tar xvf archive_file.tar --wildcards '*.pl'

Options explanation:

• –wildcards *.pl – files with pl extension

8. Adding a file or directory to an existing archive using option -r

You can add additional files to an existing tar archive as shown below. For example, to append a file to *.tar file do the following:

$ tar rvf archive_name.tar newfile

This newfile will be added to the existing archive_name.tar. Adding a directory to the tar is also similar,

$ tar rvf archive_name.tar newdir/

Note: You cannot add file or directory to a compressed archive. If you try to do so, you will get “tar: Cannot update compressed archives” error as shown below.

$ tar rvfz archive_name.tgz newfile
tar: Cannot update compressed archives
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.

9. Verify files available in tar using option -W

As part of creating a tar file, you can verify the archive file that got created using the option W as shown below.

$ tar cvfW file_name.tar dir/

If you are planning to remove a directory/file from an archive file or from the file system, you might want to verify the archive file before doing it as shown below.

$ tar tvfW file_name.tar
Verify 1/file1
1/file1: Mod time differs
1/file1: Size differs
Verify 1/file2
Verify 1/file3

If an output line starts with Verify, and there is no differs line then the file/directory is Ok. If not, you should investigate the issue.

Note: for a compressed archive file ( *.tar.gz, *.tar.bz2 ) you cannot do the verification.

Finding the difference between an archive and file system can be done even for a compressed archive. It also shows the same output as above excluding the lines with Verify.

Finding the difference between gzip archive file and file system

$ tar dfz file_name.tgz

Finding the difference between bzip2 archive file and file system

$ tar dfj file_name.tar.bz2

10. Estimate the tar archive size

The following command, estimates the tar file size ( in KB ) before you create the tar file.

$ tar -cf - /directory/to/archive/ | wc -c
20480

The following command, estimates the compressed tar file size ( in KB ) before you create the tar.gz, tar.bz2 files.

$ tar -czf - /directory/to/archive/ | wc -c
508

$ tar -cjf - /directory/to/archive/ | wc -c
428

XAMPP: Another web server daemon with SSL is already running

This is a peculiar error you will get if you run XAMPP in LINUX.

Assumption: XAMPP is unzipped @ /opt/ folder.

If you get the error "XAMPP: Another web server daemon with SSL is already running" when you run "./lampp start". Simply follow the steps below to get rid of this error:

1. Open the file /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf
2. Search the "Listen 80" and change it to some other port (e.g. Listen 2145)  (Line No. 40)
3. Open the file /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
4. Search the "Listen 443" and change it to some other port (e.g. Listen 16443) (Line No. 39)
5. Open the file "/opt/lampp/lampp"
6. Search for the port "testport 80" and replace it to "testport 2145". Also change the "testport 443" to "testport 16443". (Happens to be the Line No. 197, 214)
7. Now go and run "/opt/lampp/lampp start". (It should work now).

Hope this Helps :-)
