I am quite regular visitor of milw0rm and generally try to keep up with the vul’s. For doing this I wrote a small scripts rather set of scripts to keep myself update. Here’s what we are going to do:

Get the latest tar from the site.
Extract it.
Make the index
Have a shortcut to search the index.

Download the attached files for the first 2 points. <a href="http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/makeindex-milw0rm.sh">makeindex-milw0rm and <a href="http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/udpate-milw0rm.sh">udpate-milw0rm

bash tutorial for begineer and experienced.

2009-07-20 1 min read Bash Learning

I having been looking for something like this for sometime. Found <a href="http://beginlinux.com/desktop_training/comm/shells/232-bash" target="_blank">this while searching.

A very good thing about this tutorial is its comprehensiveness and the details. A lot of examples are gives which too are quite useful.

Get you ip address like whatismyip.com

2008-11-30 2 min read Bash Uncategorized

For last couple of days, I was thinking of putting this. I was thinking of some way to get the IP address of the client directly rather than going through some site or parsing the content. So <a href="http://amit-agarwal.co.in/mystuff/getip.php" target="_blank">here it is.

Now the trick here is simple. There are two ways to get the IP address of the client in the php script and thus a simple script like the below would capture both of them.

parse and paste text

0001-01-01 1 min read Bash

Lot of times, I copy the text but before pasting want to remove a word or make some other changes or add “wget” to the URL, quite common. So, I came up with this alias

replace='echo $(xclip -i)|sed 's/text//'|xclip -o'

and this depends on xlip, which you can install with

dnf install xclip
