Stay in the loop…

Follow the Tweets.

Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Scan your LAN for unauthorized IPs

populate the auth.hosts file with a list of IP addresses that are authorized to be in use and when you run this command it will return the addresses that are pingable and not in the authorized list.

Can be combined with the "Command line Twitter" command to tweet unauthorized access.

What others think

Running it shows: "diff: auth.hosts: No such file or directory". So I must give it a thumbs down.

That's because "auth.hosts" is a text file listing all the authorized IP addresses on the network.

Please see the description in white.

Is there anyway to do this with mac addresses? I have populated the auth.hosts file with all of the authorized mac addresses on my network, but not quite sure what I would need to change to make it work.
