Some Interesting Facts About GNU/Linux :

Linux is a land of excavation, the more you excavate the more you find treasure lies within it. This article tries to uncover some of the lesser known facts about Linux. To keep things simple, easy to read, easy to remember and easy to refer this article will be presented in point-wise fashion.

# Linux is not an OS, but it is the kernel, GNU Linux is the OS and it comes in several hundred flavours.

# Linux Kernel was written by a 21 year finnish college student as a part of his hobby. Yup! His name is Linus Torvalds.

# Torvalds created Linux based on GNU General Public License (GPL). Perhaps Torvalds would have never written his own kernel if GPL would be having it’s own kernel and driver.

# Major part of today’s Linux kernel is written in C programming language and assembly language and only 2% of today’s kernel contains code written by Torvalds.

# A Standard Linux Kernel of today has over 10 Million lines of code and it grows at the rate of 10% every year. About 4500 lines of codes are added and 1500 lines of code are changed everyday. Initially in 1991, Linux kernel version 0.01 was released with 10239 lines of code.

# A guy named William Della Croce Jr. registered the name Linux and demanded royalty for using its name and mark. However he agreed to handover the trademark to Linus, later.

# The Linux kernel’s official mascot is a penguin named Tux, abbreviation of tuxedo. The idea that Linux had a pet penguin comes from Linus Torvalds himself.

# Linux Torvalds has been honoured by naming an astroid after his name.

# OK, Now the area of application of Linux – U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Navy Submarine Fleet, Federal Aviation Administration, Tamil Nadu for education purpose, Japan’s bullet trains, traffic control of San Francisco, the New York Stock Exchange, CERN, many air traffic control systems or control of nuclear reactors of submarines and ships, Russia, Brazil and Venezuela for interoperable management , cost efficient and technologically independence, Google, Cisco, Facebook, Twitter, Linked in, Toyota, TiVo, etc, server hosting the website of the White House (Drupal), federal government of Brazil favours Linux operating systems over all others in its PCs. Is Not Linux kernel the most widely ported operating system, running on a great variety of operating systems.

# For those who think Linux can’t do Animation – Oscar-winning visual effects of the Titanic by James Cameron came from machines with Linux and Avatar was the last movie completely developed in 3D Applications on Linux platform using Foss Software. Exclaimed!

# Believe it or not – In 2002, Microsoft had accumulated a $ 421 million cost of fighting the spread of Linux, according to The Register.

# According to a study funded by the European Union, the estimated cost to redevelop the most recent kernel versions would be at $1.14 billion USD – Amazed.

# Microsoft Windows and the Linux kernel can run simultaneously in parallel on the same machine using a software called Cooperative Linux (coLinux).

# IBM choose Linux for what is expected to be the world’s most powerful supercomputer, Sequoia, due in 2011.

Best Programming Quotations

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 09 Dec 2013 17:00:00 +0000

Best Programming Quotations :

A good programmer is someone who looks both ways before crossing a one-way street.   -- Doug Linder, systems administrator

A most important, but also most elusive, aspect of any tool is its influence on the habits of those who train themselves in its use. If the tool is a programming language this influence is, whether we like it or not, an influence on our thinking habits.   -- Edsger Dijkstra, computer scientist

Being abstract is something profoundly different from being vague... The purpose of abstraction is not to be vague, but to create a new semantic level in which one can be absolutely precise.   -- Edsger Dijkstra

Besides a mathematical inclination, an exceptionally good mastery of one's native tongue is the most vital asset of a competent programmer.   -- Edsger Dijkstra

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg.   -- Bjarne Stroustrup, developer of the C++ programming language

Commentary: most debugging problems are fixed easily; identifying the location of the problem is hard.   -- unknown

Considering the current sad state of our computer programs, software development is clearly still a black art, and cannot yet be called an engineering discipline.   -- Bill Clinton, former President of the United States

Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow (e.g., given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone).   -- Eric S. Raymond, programmer and advocate of open source software, from The Cathedral and the Bazaar

Good code is its own best documentation. As you're about to add a comment, ask yourself, 'How can I improve the code so that this comment isn't needed?' Improve the code and then document it to make it even clearer.   -- Steve McConnell, software engineer and author, from Code Complete

Hey! It compiles! Ship it!   -- unknown

Inside every well-written large program is a well-written small program.   -- Charles Antony Richard Hoare, computer scientist

It should be noted that no ethically-trained software engineer would ever consent to write a DestroyBaghdad procedure. Basic professional ethics would instead require him to write a DestroyCity procedure, to which Baghdad could be given as a parameter.   -- Nathaniel S. Borenstein, computer scientist

Managing programmers is like herding cats.   -- unknown

Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.   -- unknown

Simplicity is prerequisite for reliability.   -- Edsger Dijkstra

The sooner you start to code, the longer the program will take.   -- Roy Carlson, University of Wisconsin

Weeks of programming can save you hours of planning.   -- unknown

There are only two kinds of programming languages: those people always bitch about and those nobody uses.   -- Bjarne Stroustrup

Hidden Messages in Your Web Browser

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 07 Dec 2013 09:37:00 +0000

Hidden Messages in Your Web Browser :

There is a hidden message in the Web browser you're using right now. Assuming it's Mozilla Firefox. If it isn't, then kindly open Firefox and read that sentence again. We will wait.

Every Mozilla browser includes a special "about" feature that allows you to configure certain sections just by typing "about:whatever" into the address bar. For example, if you type "about:about," you'll see a list of all the menus they offer. Some of the menus are actually cute Easter eggs, like "about:robots," which takes you to a page referencing things like Blade Runner, Futurama, and the eventual annihilation of all mankind.

However, if you type "about:mozilla," perhaps looking to learn a bit more about the browser, you'll come across a red screen with ominous Bible-like text written on it.

What the complete hell? What you've just read is an excerpt from the Book of Mozilla, an ongoing text of apocalyptic literature secretly inserted by Mozilla into each of its Web browsers dating back to when the company worked on AOL's Netscape in 1995. So if you typed "about:mozilla" 17 years ago, you'd see that.

Apparently, each verse is a metaphor for one of the updates Mozilla has released. Hidden developer commentary in the code of the 1998 page confirms that the beast "Mammon" is actually Mozilla's main competitor, Microsoft Internet Explorer. The first verse we showed you says that Mammon has become "naught but a follower," a reference to the fact that the latest editions of Internet Explorer straight up ripped off several features from Mozilla. Among them was the "about:mozilla" page -- if you type that in some versions of Explorer, it takes you to a blank blue screen.

Installing Lua and Luarocks in CentOS

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 28 Nov 2013 10:35:00 +0000

Installing Lua and Luarocks in CentOS:

     There seems to be something wrong with CentOS' lua package (version 5.1.4). After installing lua via yum, compiling luarocks in /usr/local/src/ and running the luarocks command, you will end up with the following error:

The issue seems to persist even in CentOS 6. So we suggest building lua and luarocks directly from the source after some OS library dependencies are met:

     # yum install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
     # yum install readline-dev
     # yum install ncurses-devel.i386

Proceed to download and compile lua:

     # wget http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.1.4.tar.gz
     # tar zxvf lua-5.1.4.tar.gz
     # cd lua-5.1.4
     # make linux

Download and install luarocks:

     # wget http://luarocks.org/releases/luarocks-2.0.6.tar.gz
     # tar zxvf luarocks-2.0.6.tar.gz
     # cd luarocks-2.0.6
     # ./configure
     # make
     # make install

This should help you have luarocks properly installed and ready to fetch lua modules from the repo. Have fun!

FireFox users can Hack Rapidshare NOW

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 18 Nov 2013 07:40:00 +0000

FireFox users can Hack Rapidshare NOW:

The hot new Firefox plug-in takes browser customization to a whole new level by letting users filter site content or change page behaviors. The glory of open-source software is that it allows anyone with the inclination and the scripting knowledge to get under the hood and hot-rod their computing environment. But most of the time, that advantage is available only to people with the programming skills to make the changes they want.

That's where Greasemonkey, a free plug-in for Firefox, comes in -- it simplifies hacking the browser.

Released at the end 2004, Greasemonkey is the latest in a growing arsenal of Firefox customization tools. It changes how Web pages look and act by altering the rendering process.

Steps :

1) Install the Greasemonkey extension>>
http://downloads.mozdev.org/greasemonkey/greasemonkey_0.2.6.xpi
2) Restart Firefox
3) Go to http://rapidshare.de/files/1034529/rapidshare.user.js.html
4) Right click on rapidshare.user.js and choose "Install User Script".
5) Run FireFox.
6) From 'File' Menu click on Open File then browse to whereever you saved the 'greasemonkey.xpi' plug-in.
Open it, wait a couple seconds for the install button becomes active.
7) Click on it to install this plug-in then CLOSE FIREFOX.
8) Run FireFox again.
From the File Menu click on Open File then browse to whereever you saved the 'rapidshare.user.js'.
9) Open it.
10) Click the Tools Menu then click on Install User Script then click OK.
11) Close FireFox.

that's it now enjoy multiple file downloads......!!

How To Hide Files in JPEG Images

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 13 Nov 2013 05:12:00 +0000

This post will help you to hide files in JPEG images :

In this example we will hide a text message inside a picture. We have choose for this tutorial a text file named foobar.txt and a picture linux.jpg.

1. Move your files you want to combine in a new folder, in our case C:\secret.

2. Add the file you want to hide into a new RAR archive like.Secret.txt .

3. WinRar created the archive in the folder where our files are located.

4. Open Command Prompt (Start -> Run..., type cmd and press Enter)

5. Go to the folder where your files are located, in this case C:\secret by using the cmd command.

6. Now type copy /b linux.jpg + foobar.txt.rar dummy.jpg where linux.jpg is the original picture, foobar.txt.rar is the file that will be hidden, and dummy.jpg is the file which contains both.

7. If you open dummy.jpg you will see the linux.jpg image.

8. Try opening the file with WinRar (select All files).

9. Now you can see the text file that is hidden in the picture.

DIG :

dig (domain information groper) is a flexible tool for interrogating DNS name servers. It performs DNS lookups and displays the answers that are returned from the name server(s) that were queried. Most DNS administrators use dig to troubleshoot DNS problems because of its flexibility, ease of use and clarity of output. Other lookup tools tend to have less functionality than dig.

Powerful VIM commands

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 27 Oct 2013 08:24:00 +0000

About Vim text editor :

Vim is initially as standard GUI text editors like Gedit or word processors like OpenOffice.org's Writer, over a longer term you can become more productive using Vim. If you're a touch-typist, you'll find that your speed will improve even more with Vim because your hands rarely need to leave the ^home^ keys, and you'll only need to use the mouse if you choose to do so.

If you're a programmer or working with structured markup languages like HTML, LaTeX, etc., Vim is the bee's knees. It offers a number of features that make working with programming and markup languages much easier.

Some of the useful VIM commands :

:e filename ---------------------------- OPen finename for edition

Anonymous OS version 0.1 released and detailed

Anonymous OS version 0.1 released and detailed :

its been quietly announced that members of the hacker group known as Anonymous are releasing their very own desktop operating system. This system is known at the moment as Anonymous-OS and is currently in as infant a stage as it possibly could be at version 0.1. That’s pre-pre-Alpha, for those of you counting, and we’re not even going to tell you to download it or do a search for it – keep your eyes off of it!

What this operating system represents is a full toolkit for those of you looking to join the dangerous and illicit world of hacking. Inside the operating system you can actually download today is a relatively vast list of applications that will allow you to crack, spoof, and rip your way into the mainframe just like your heroes from the 1990′s movie Hackers, just like you’ve always wanted to! Have a peek at the list here, and forever hold your keyboards in glee:

Pre-installed apps on Anonymous-OS:
- ParolaPass Password Generator
- Find Host IP
- Anonymous HOIC
- Ddosim
- Pyloris
- Slowloris
- TorsHammer
- Sqlmap
- Havij
- Sql Poison
- Admin Finder
- John the Ripper
- Hash Identifier
- Tor
- XChat IRC
- Pidgin
- Vidalia
- Polipo
- JonDo
- i2p
- Wireshark
- Zenmap
…and more

This OS runs under Ubunti 11.10 and uses Mate desktop – also you’ve got the ability to create the LiveUSB with Unetbootin – also just like you should expect. If you want to move forward with this OS for your soon-to-be-destroyed computer, head over to The Hacker News and have a look-see. Don’t say we didnt warn you though, especially since that source also notes the following: “Warning : It is not developed by any Genuine Source, can be backdoored OS by any Law enforcement Company or Hacker. You at your own Risk.” Strong words.

thanks to The Hacker News
