Installing most OSX apps is just a matter of dropping it in /Applications, either GUI-wise or with cp -r. However, many packages are distributed in "mpkg" format, and those have to be installed with an installer. If you don't want to go to the trouble of firing up VNC to install an mpkg, you can use the "installer" command.
This will install an application from a .mpkg it to /Applications system-wide. To install a program for just one user, replace "-target /" with "-target username".
This command uses the debugger to attach to a running process, and reassign a filehandle to a file.
The two commands executed in gdb are
p close(1) which closes STDOUT
and
p creat("/tmp/filename",0600)
which creates a file and opens it for output. Since file handles are assigned
sequentially, this command opens the file in place of STDOUT and once the process continues, new output to STDOUT will instead be written to our capture file.
swap out "80" for your port of interest. Can use port number or named ports e.g. "http"
In this example, the docx gets converted to Open Document .odt format.
For other formats, you'll need to specify the correct filter (Hint: see "Comments" link below for a nice list).
Above command will play Virgin Radio Dubai
You can use this to directly dump from machine A (with dvd drive) to machine B (without dvd drive) . I used this to copy dvd using my friend's machine to my netbook. Above command is to be issued on machine B.
Advantages :
1) No wasting time dumping first to machine A and then copying to Machine B.
2) You dont need to use space on Machine A. In fact, this will work even when Machine A doesnt have enough hdd space to dump the DVD.
Use -C ssh option on slow networks (enables compression).
you can replace "dd if=/dev/dvd" with any ripping command as long as it spews the iso to stdout.
The following command will clone usb stick inside /dev/sdc to /dev/sdd
Double check you got the correct usb sticks (origional-clone)with fdisk -l.
You might want to secure your AWS operations requiring to use a MFA token. But then to use API or tools, you need to pass credentials generated with a MFA token.
This commands asks you for the MFA code and retrieves these credentials using AWS Cli. To print the exports, you can use:
`awk '{ print "export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=\"" $1 "\"\n" "export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=\"" $2 "\"\n" "export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=\"" $3 "\"" }'`
You must adapt the command line to include:
* $MFA_IDis ARN of the virtual MFA or serial number of the physical one
* TTL for the credentials
This captures traffic on a remote machine with tshark, sends the raw pcap data over the ssh link, and displays it in wireshark. Hitting ctrl+C will stop the capture and unfortunately close your wireshark window. This can be worked-around by passing -c # to tshark to only capture a certain # of packets, or redirecting the data through a named pipe rather than piping directly from ssh to wireshark. I recommend filtering as much as you can in the tshark command to conserve bandwidth. tshark can be replaced with tcpdump thusly:
$ ssh root@example.com tcpdump -w - 'port !22' | wireshark -k -i -
