I’d been playing with them… and since I hadn’t seen this anywhere I’ll put it as a small hack o the day. The disks do what they say (e.g. … install firmware ;)) – basically you burn it to a cd, boot it up, and it has some sort of access to the system. Since I’ve been working with these sorts of things lately I was curious how they […]
Finally one that looks at a process and tells you what ports its listening to. WPCM450 /tmp]$ ps |grep ssh 1263 root 4532 S /sbin/sshd -g 60 9730 root 9412 S sshd: root@pts/0 10571 root 3556 R grep ssh [WPCM450 /tmp]$ ./lsof-net-pid.sh 1263 PID 1263 is listening on tcp6:22 PID 1263 is listening on tcp:22 […]
Here’s one that looks up processes that have a file open… well, actually, more like a file expression; “foo” would match “/bar/foo” and “/foo/bar” (by intent), so use full paths if you’re not feeling frisky. And yes… busybox really does have that many duplicate processes with that file open…. [WPCM450 /tmp]$ ./lsof-pid-on-file.sh NVRAM_PrivateStorage00.dat /bin/fullfw /flash/data0/BMC_Data/NVRAM_PrivateStorage00.dat /bin/fullfw /flash/data0/BMC_Data/NVRAM_PrivateStorage00.dat /bin/fullfw /flash/data0/BMC_Data/NVRAM_PrivateStorage00.dat /bin/fullfw /flash/data0/BMC_Data/NVRAM_PrivateStorage00.dat […]
After beating on some really anemic linux installations that had… well, just about nothing installed (one didn’t have “tr”, one didn’t have “df”, etc… come on, that’s pretty sad ;)), I decided to start writing some shell scripts in very, very basic shell (you can do a lot with shell, awk, and sed!) Here’s one that while not perfect, at least seems to work (so far!) – I
Butterfly flaps have interesting consequences. Apparently Edward Lorenz came up with the term butterfly effect; later he wrote a marvelous paper presented at the 1972 AAAS (speech below, and taken from another site which had the text), which explains the effect… in a way that may or may not align with how you view it. It’s a very easy read of a complex topic, and in it he talks […]
