Run top in batch mode

2012-08-18T07:17:00.000-07:00

Run top in batch mode
top is a handy utility for monitoring the utilization of your system. It is invoked from the command line and it works by displaying lots of useful information, including CPU and memory usage, the number of running processes, load, the top resource hitters, and other useful bits. By default, top refreshes its report every 3 seconds.

Most of us use top in this fashion; we run it inside the terminal, look on the statistics for a few seconds and then graciously quit and continue our work.

But what if you wanted to monitor the usage of your system resources unattended? In other words, let some system administration utility run and collect system information and write it to a log file every once in a while. Better yet, what if you wanted to run such a utility only for a given period of time, again without any user interaction?

There are many possible answers:
You could schedule a job via cron.
You could run a shell script that runs ps every X seconds or so in a loop, incrementing a counter until the desired number of interactions elapsed. But you would also need uptime to check the load and several other commands to monitor disk utilization and what not.

Instead of going wild about trying to patch a script, there's a much, much simpler solution: top in batch mode.

top can be run non-interactively, in batch mode. Time delay and the number of iterations can be configured, giving you the ability to dictate the data collection as you see fit. Here's an example:

top -b -d 10 -n 3 >> top-file

We have top running in batch mode (-b). It's going to refresh every 10 seconds, as specified by the delay (-d) flag, for a total count of 3 iterations (-n). The output will be sent to a file. A few screenshots:

And that does the trick. Speaking of writing to files ...

Use Websites Without Signing Up for New Accounts

2012-08-06T00:24:00.005-07:00

Use Websites Without Signing Up for New Accounts

Registering for websites is a pain in the neck, even if you use a dedicated spam email address to cut down on ads. Sometimes you just want to watch a cat video and be done with it. Here's a quick, easy workaround to having to register each time you end up at a new website: Turn to BugMeNot.

BugMeNot has a database of legitimate usernames and passwords for various sites that require you to register in order to access content. You can use BugMeNot in several ways.

The simplest approach is to go to the BugMeNot website and enter the name of the site where you want to log in. BugMeNot will produce a list of usernames and passwords that you can use instead of registering yourself.

If you'd rather not go all the way over to the website each time, you can download an extension for Firefox (BugMeNot Firefox) or Chrome. On other browsers you can use a bookmarklet (located in the menu of the BugMeNot website; just drag the bookmarklet into your browser's bookmark toolbar) to get instant BugMeNot login credentials.

BugMeNot does not give out credentials for sites that are behind a paywall, however, so you can't avoid paying for content by using this service.

2012-08-06T00:17:00.003-07:00

Find a Missing URL Bar (or Other Toolbars)

Maybe you clicked a bunch of things you shouldn't have, or maybe your cat jumped on your keyboard, because now you can't seem to find your URL bar.
In Internet Explorer, right-click any toolbar and check Address bar. If you're using Internet Explorer 9, you'll always see the address/search bar, but older versions of IE have the option of hiding it.
In Firefox, go to View, Toolbars and check Navigation Toolbar. You can also right-click any toolbars you do see, and check Navigation Toolbar in the drop-down menu.
In Safari, hold down the Command (Ctrl if you're on Windows) button, the Shift button, and the Backslash (\) button. The URL bar will reappear

Temporary Internet Files

2012-08-04T08:04:00.000-07:00

Temporary Internet Files
The Temporary Internet Files folder contains a copy of the files that constituted the web pages the suspect visited. The next time the web page is requested, only the sections of the page that have changed would be downloaded. In the cache directory, an index.dat maps the pages on the websites to files and directories in the cache. In Windows XP, the files are stored in the following locations:
C:\Documents and Settings\profile_name\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\index.dat
C:\Documents and Settings\profile_name\UserData\index.dat

The index.dat in the UserData folder holds information about automatic Windows accesses to the Internet such as Windows updates. Each of these facilities contains an important file called index.dat which is primarily a catalog file for the saved information. The index.dat files can catalog the URLs visited, the cookies accepted by the browser and locally cached files linked to the visited URLs.

Cookies

2012-08-04T07:55:00.003-07:00

Cookies
Cookies are small text files that the suspect’s browser accepted while browsing the web. The information held in these files can be invaluable to forensics. In Windows XP, the files are stored in the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\profile_name\Cookies\index.dat
This audit trail in the index.dat is useful in locating cookies that are intentionally misnamed or obfuscated.

History of visited URLs

2012-08-04T07:54:00.003-07:00

History of visited URLs
The browser history creates an audit trail that shows the user’s browsing patterns on the web. In Windows XP, the files are stored in the following locations:
C:\Documents and Settings\profile_name\Local Settings\History\History.IE5\index.dat
C:\Documents and Settings\profile_name\Local Settings\History\History.IE5\MSHist01XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\index.dat. The MSHist files are of two types:
Daily MSHist files (ie, MSHist011998100819981009index.dat — one day between yyyymmddyyyymmdd dates)
Weekly MSHist files (ie, MSHist011998092819981005\index.dat — one week between yyyymmddyyyymmdd dates)

Breaking Administrator’s Password!!

Administrator password can be broken by replacing sam file in system32\config by the sam file in repair folder of windows. it can be easily done on a machine with dual operating systems, simply log on to os other then the one whoes password is to be cracked the way is exactly same as written above but if there is a single os on a machine then there is only one way i.e to use ms dos start up disk or some other boot disk and replace the sam file in config folder with the one in repair folder

note:- this method works only if hard drive is FAT32 formatted because NTFS drive does’nt take boot from Ms DOS

This way you can remove the old administratOr password as if the windows is newly installed and the password was’nt set

How to find the “real” IP address of a web site?

2012-08-01T17:34:00.006-07:00

How to find the “real” IP address of a web site?

You can use the PING utility included with Windows to determine the “real” IP address of a web site. Before using this utility, make sure you are not mapping a host name to some IP address with HostName Commander, because if you do, the PING utility will show the address you’ve set up with HostName Commander, instead of the “real” IP address.

To run the PING utility, click on the Windows Start button, and choose Run from the Start Menu. If you use Windows 95,98, or Me, enter “command” (without the quotes) as the command line to run. If you use Windows XP,2000, or NT, enter “cmd” (again, without the quotes). Click OK and the command prompt window should appear on the screen.

Now enter the word “ping” (without the quotes) followed by a space, followed by the host name you want to determine the IP address of, and press Enter:

In this example, the IP address of the host name www.rkgit.edu.in is 74.52.201.2 & IP Address of the host name www.kiet.edu is 220.225.19.55 . (Keep in mind that the IP address may change in the future!). If the PING utility reports an error, make sure your computer is connected to the Internet when you are running it.

r(read-only)=>4

e.g. chmod 754 text will change the ownership of owner to read, write and executable, that of group to read and executable and that of others to read only of the text file.
