Well, not really. Actually I.tar.gz. In the gzip’d tar there are 3 files; little IPMI/BMC configuration file sucker, a suggested set of security recommendations that could be checked, and an even smaller program to parse the first program’s output. Because… well, no good reason, actually, one is in python3 and the other in python2. I guess I’m testing your readiness. The programs are pretty heavily commented, especially ipmifreely.py, so […]
I’ve waited for a over a decade, but finally – per process packet tracing on the mac (mountain lion.) For example, finding out the traffic that a python script sends via UDP and the return (both python programs on the same machine); the first sends “foo”, the server sends what it got plus “bar”: # dtrace -n ‘syscall::sendto*:entry /execname == "Python"/ { printf("%s sock=%d sockadd=%x buffer[%d]=%s",execname, arg0, arg4, arg2, […]
I guess if you import enough libraries just about anything can be made into a one liner… if you have imported BeautifulSoup, re, requests, and sys, in python3 you can simply do: print(re.sub(r’^.*imgurl=([^&]+)&.*$’, r’\1′, str(BeautifulSoup(requests.get("http://images.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&safe=off&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1744&bih=1279&q=%s&oq=" % sys.argv[1]).text).find(href=re.compile("imgurl"))))) To find the first hit on a google image search with argv[1]. Google will probably change their URL images later today and it’ll stop working, but I wanted this for a random […]
After mounting a bunch of filesystems I thought I’d just whip up a little shell script to help me out when working with jffs2 images, mtd, and linux (only tested on centos 6.) I won’t go over how to get kernel support and all that crap – there are many guides, and while many won’t work eventually something will for you too ;( This one is fairly simple to […]
Since I didn’t find it anywhere else… Avocent, who makes a heck of a lot of BMCs, and at times (like with Dell’s iDRAC, at least version 6) keeps encrypted passwords in (well, quite possible/probable OEM dependent) “/flash/data0/etc/avctpasswd” (don’t be fooled by the /etc/passwd file) using SHA1 hashed passwords converted into Base64. I surmise this file is used to protect the real passwords that are stored in clear text […]
