operative

Hello everyone. this is my first code for the ducky / teensy 2.0 board. Written with the Arduino / Teensyduino tool. The code sends a random keystroke every 1 to 15 seconds. Random Key might be from "a" to "z" Sorry for the "dirty" switch/case stuff, i'm working on a version with char arrays. this has no special purpose. it's only to annoy some workmates ^^ int ledPin = 11; long randNumber; long randNumber2; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); randomSeed(analogRead(0)); pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // set the LED on randNumber2 = random(1,28); switch (randNumber2) { case 1: Keyboard.print("a"); break; case 2: Keyboard.print("b"); break; case 3: Keyboard.print("c"); break; case 4: Keyboard.print("d"); break; case 5: Keyboard.print("e"); break; case 6: Keyboard.print("f"); break; case 7: Keyboard.print("g"); break; case 8: Keyboard.print("h"); break; case 9: Keyboard.print("i"); break; case 10: Keyboard.print("j"); break; case 11: Keyboard.print("k"); break; case 12: Keyboard.print("l"); break; case 13: Keyboard.print("m"); break; case 14: Keyboard.print("n"); break; case 15: Keyboard.print("o"); break; case 16: Keyboard.print("p"); break; case 17: Keyboard.print("q"); break; case 18: Keyboard.print("r"); break; case 19: Keyboard.print("s"); break; case 20: Keyboard.print("t"); break; case 21: Keyboard.print("u"); break; case 22: Keyboard.print("v"); break; case 23: Keyboard.print("w"); break; case 24: Keyboard.print("x"); break; case 25: Keyboard.print("y"); break; case 26: Keyboard.print("z"); break; default: Keyboard.print("alr"); } delay(500); digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); randNumber = random(15000); delay(randNumber); }

+1 on wanting to develop for the ducky ^^ i for one know C and C++, some perl and also turbo pascal :P

from the CLI nothing. only mount /dev/hdb1 /data1 in fstab only noatime but the problem is the same if the partitons are not in the fstab. after a reboot, i can't mount them.

Hello everyone, a few days ago, i added 2 used hdds to my gentoo machine (80gb and 160gb IDE). i've tested both drives on my desktop and they worked fine. mounted them in the server, connected everything (80gb as primary slave and 160gb as secondary master) and started the box. The bios recognized the drives, so did my gentoo installation (/dev/hdb and /dev/hdc) i partitioned both disks using fdisk and created 1 partition on both disks using the full capacity. formatted them using mkefs -j for ext3. now for the problem: i can mount both drives manually to /data1 and /data2 (also umount and mount them again) but if i reboot the machine, the automount based on the fstab entry fails for both drives. manual mount also fails telling me that the partitions are allready mounted or in use (that's not the case). if i delete the partitions, reboot, recreate the partitions i can mount them until the next reboot. i'm stuck :( don't what i can try.

okay nevermind. solved the problem using /etc/sudoers

no. if it's optional, it's not installed (but i'm using a x64 VM). Installung i386 right now

it displays what it should root@servant:~# whoami root root@servant:~# <edit> strange thing is: this is a fresh install in a vmware workstation. i downloaded the iso this morning, installed ubuntu in a VM, installed apache2, php and ssh. thats it. </edit>

root@servant:~# ls -n total 28 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 10995 2009-09-22 06:02 a.out -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 160 2009-09-22 05:01 code.c -rwsr-xr-x 1 0 0 10995 2009-09-22 06:01 whoami_uid root@servant:~#

yeah root@servant:~# ls -al total 52 drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2009-09-22 06:02 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 2009-09-22 02:23 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10995 2009-09-22 06:02 a.out -rw------- 1 root root 2582 2009-09-22 06:01 .bash_history -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2227 2008-12-23 10:53 .bashrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 160 2009-09-22 05:01 code.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 561 2009-09-22 02:33 .htoprc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 140 2007-11-19 09:57 .profile -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 10995 2009-09-22 06:01 whoami_uid root@servant:~# a.out whoami: cannot find name for user ID 3352884648 root@servant:~# whoami_uid whoami: cannot find name for user ID 2284944168

compiles fine (after an apt-get install gcc) but if i run it with whoami, i get this: whoami: cannot find name for user ID 1670578456 if i run it if "pkill -f htop" to test it, it tells me pkill: 3018 - Operation not permitted :/

The ThinkPads are a special case when it comes to removing / resetting the bios password. Most Lenovo (IBM) Laptops are only secured by a hdd password which can (you guessed it) removed by replacing the hdd. you'll most likely get errors / warnings about a none genuine lenovo harddisk blablabla (that one can be fixed by an update from the lenovo support website) As far as i know, most of the never thinkpads, especially the T series, have TPM chips (some are on a removable board). don't even try to remove the TPM board an start the machine, it won't work. If only the Bios Master password is set, you might have a change because you can get into the bios in some sort of "user mode". That means that you can change only some options.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to write a php file that executes a shell command (using shell_exec()) to kill a process when a button on a website is pressed. The reason why i'm doing this is, that this server (wow server emulator) crashes sometimes and i don't want to log on via ssh every time and kill it using the kill (or pkill). so far i'm getting the PID of the server using 'pidof' or directly using pkill -f in a shell script. What i totally forgot was the fact, that the wow server is running under it's own user (apache2 also has it's own user) so my question is: how can i kill the process of another user using shell script? This is my configuration: Ubuntu 9.04 Server wow server emulator apache2 + php
