Fix weird flux menu
Some distro’s just add all the items under single menu and thus the menu itself becomes unusable because of the number of items in the submenu and this I did not like and hence ceated this simply python script to fix that. For using the script, back up you “menu” file, redirect the output of this script to ‘menu’ file again.
#!/bin/python
F = open("~/.fluxbox/menu", "r")
count=0
mkc=1
started=0
for line in F:
print line.rstrip()
if '[submenu]' in line.lower() and started == 1:
print '[end]'
if '[end]' in line.lower():
count=0
mkc=1
if started > 0:
started=0
# print "Count is {}".format(count)
# print "Started is {}".format(started)
print '[end]'
if '[exec]' in line.lower():
if count > 15 :
if started > 0:
started=0
print '[end]'
# print "Count is {}".format(count)
# print "Started is {}".format(started)
print '[submenu] ({})'.format(mkc)
started=1
mkc+=1
count=0
# print count
count+=1

scapy packet dump to packet
First you need to have scapy installed. And if you don’t know about scapy, then
Scapy is a powerful interactive packet manipulation program. It is able to forge or decode packets of a wide number of protocols, send them on the wire, capture them, match requests and replies, and much more. It can easily handle most classical tasks like scanning, tracerouting, probing, unit tests, attacks or network discovery (it can replace hping, 85% of nmap, arpspoof, arp-sk, arping, tcpdump, tethereal, p0f, etc.). It also performs very well at a lot of other specific tasks that most other tools can’t handle, like sending invalid frames, injecting your own 802.11 frames, combining technics (VLAN hopping+ARP cache poisoning, VOIP decoding on WEP encrypted channel, …), etc

Windows Vs Linux – One more time
One of the most written and commented articles has to be Linux vs Windows (of course there are competitors like vim vs emacs) but none has been covered so much as Linux vs Windows. So, what am I going to write here which is not covered earlier in so many other posts. Well a little different perspective 🙂
Continue readingCelebrating 25 Years of Linux Kernel Development
Linux is now 25 years old, but it’s no hipster. It’s not chasing around Pokemon, and it’s not moving back in with its parents due to crippling student debt. In fact, Linux is still growing and evolving, but the core ideas of the Linux State of Mind remain the same.
You see, Linux is much more than an operating system, it’s a mindset. Even if you don’t agree with its philosophy, you can’t afford to ignore it.
