Linux TCP/IP, GreenIT and more…
FTP and SMTP are simple text based protocols, I show you how to get some files without a graphical FTP-Client.
Connect with Telnet:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | id@acer:~$ telnet debianuser.org 21 Connected to debianuser.org. USER anonymous PASS anonymous PASV RETR deli-0.8.0-core.iso |
1 | echo 'you are a loser' | festival --tts |
1 | for count in $(seq 1 10) ; do espeak "Go Away" ; done |
Make speaker louder:
1 2 3 4 | amixer -c 0 sset Master,0 100%; amixer set Master 100% # or amixer set PCM 100% |
Another funny things:
1 2 | export DISPLAY=:0 xmessage 'YOU ARE BEING WATCHED. MUHAHAHAHahaha' |
PHP reveals its presence on the server in a variety of ways: It may send an HTTP header (X-Powered-By: PHP), or append its name and version to Apache’s signature. In addition, there are easter egg URLs that return the PHP logo or some PHP authors, one of them is:
http://www.host.com/index.php?=PHPB8B5F2A0-3C92-11d3-A3A9-4C7B08C10000
Obviously there is no reason to let end users know about the server’s PHP version. Luckily, there is a switch in php.ini that will disable all of the above:
1 | expose_php = Off |
1 | mysqladmin -u root -p -i 1 processlist |
-u username
-p you will be promted for a password
-i 1 interval one second
Output will see like this one:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | +--------+------+-------------------+-----+---------+------+-------+------------------+ | Id | User | Host | db | Command | Time | State | Info | +--------+------+-------------------+-----+---------+------+-------+------------------+ | 424111 | db4 | 192.168.2.1:58431 | db4 | Sleep | 15 | | | | 424195 | db4 | 192.168.2.1:50531 | db4 | Sleep | 1 | | | | 424483 | db3 | 192.168.2.1:41503 | db3 | Sleep | 464 | | | | 424490 | db3 | 192.168.2.1:41513 | db3 | Sleep | 443 | | | | 424551 | root | localhost | | Query | 0 | | show processlist | +--------+------+-------------------+-----+---------+------+-------+------------------+ |
After working some time with Dropbox I wrote this little python script to make my work with Dropbox more efficient and faster.
With a right click I can Upload my file to my Dropbox account:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding:utf-8 -*- import os, sys PUBDIR = '/home/id/Dropbox/Public/' USERID = 156881168 if len(sys.argv) > 1 and os.path.isfile(sys.argv[1]): os.popen('cp -f %s %s' % (sys.argv[1], PUBDIR)) dest = 'https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/%s/%s' % (USERID, sys.argv[1].split('/')[-1]) os.popen('kdialog --msgbox "Link was copied to the clipboard:\n%s"' % dest) os.system('dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.kde.klipper \ /klipper org.kde.klipper.klipper.setClipboardContents string:"%s"' % dest) else: os.popen('kdialog --error "Please choose file!"') |
Add a menu entry for right click:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | vim /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/dropbox.desktop cat /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/dropbox.desktop [Desktop Entry] Type=Service ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,all/allfiles Actions=DropboxURL X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel [Desktop Action DropboxURL] Name=Share on DropBox Icon=/home/id/Pictures/dropbox.png Exec=/home/id/drop_IT.py "%u" %d |
Update:
If you want to make it work only for special users on the system, put dropbox.desktop in your home directory: “~/.kde/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus”
Another bash based script:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | #!/bin/bash DROPDIR=/home/id/Dropbox/Public/ USERID=156881168 if [ -e "$1" ] then cp -f "$1" "$DROPDIR" file=`basename "$1"` link="http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/$USERID/$file" notify-send -i go-down "Dropbox" "Link to \"$file\" was copied to the clipboard" echo "$link" | xsel -bi else notify-send -i go-down "Dropbox" "Please choose file!!" fi |
Icon — Could be a pretty icon (16×16) 
Exec — path to you *.py script
