Secure your passwords by storing them in Keepass

KeePass is a wonderful for linux environment, as we have 1Password by Agile bits for Mac, Windows, Android, and as browser addon. Unfortunately, it is not available for the linux platform. Here comes KeePass as a solution for linux users. To use the accounts in firefox, you have to install keefox, and export the password file. KeePass will you give an amazing performance and experience on linux platform.

Most of it,

KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open source (OSI certified). You can have a look at its full source and check whether the encryption algorithms are implemented correctly.

You can install KeePass directly on windows, by downloading it from their website.

The version available for ubuntu is older, so you need to add a new repo for the latest version.
Here is the process:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jtaylor/keepass
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install keepass2 

By adding above repository you can install the latest version of keepass2.

That's all folks for tonight. :)

Auto update upgrade your Atom editor Package

So, atom is one of my favorite text editor these days, and it has great community. You can download and read it more about the atom here: https://atom.io/

Unfortunately, it is difficult to update the atom, as it is not available in ubuntu software center, and there is no update option available for the atom yet.

So, i have found a script over askubuntu.com and it's very useful. You can use it for downloading, updating, and upgrading your atom package. You can add the same in your cron job.

Here is the code, save it as atom-auto-update.sh
and make it executable.




Save it and run it. And feel the power of new upgraded atom.

Thank you.

One liner to remove duplicate entries using awk

Hello Everyone,

Today we will discuss about one liner for removing
Sometime, we have a situation where we have the file with lots of repetitive or duplicate entries. You need to remove all those entries or count the number of those repetitive elements.

Let's suppose we have a file with below content,

my_temp_file:

this
is
a
test
file
a
file
with
repetitive
content.
Ways
to
remove
duplicate
duplicate
lines

Now, to remove the duplicate entries, use the below awk one liner:

$ awk '!a[$0]++' my_temp_file

this

is

a

test

file

with

repetitive

content.

Ways

to

remove

duplicate

lines

Now, if you don't bother about the order, you can use sort and uniq in below manner:

$ cat one-liners/my_temp_file | sort | uniq

a

content.

duplicate

file

is

lines

remove

repetitive

test

this

to

Ways

with

It will do the same, but don't preserve the order of file.

FoxGlove : Firefox + Google by Alex

FOXGLOVE a browser for GOOGLE lovers,

Alex customized the Firefox Portable & integrated his browser with Google Apps.

Alex :-

I found myself running Firefox in two windows: One with Gmail, Google Reader and other webapps, and the other for my casual web wanderings. I read about Chrome's feature that lets you can set up a standalone launcher for any webapp, but I wanted all my apps together in tabs, and I wanted access to all the customization and extensibility of Firefox, but without overhauling my current setup. Then I remembered Asian Angel's howto on running multiple copies of Firefox portable. So, I decided to build a second Firefox install specifically around using Google Apps, one that I could run side-by-side with my regular Firefox browser.

 

WMIC - WIndows Management and instrumentation Console - Powerful command line tool for Windows

Hi Friends,

Today i am going to discuss about the very powerful tool by windows known as WMIC,

Task Manager - Not working
Windows Defender - Not working
IE - unable to start
System got hacked.

Now what can i do?

Proceed for WMIC tool (Windows Management Instrumentation Console (Command line tool))

Benefits - In built tool by Microsoft.

So how to work with it?

wmic process [pid] delete - equivalent to kill -9 pid as in ubuntu - To kill the process
wmic process where name='cmd.exe' delete
wmic process list brief /every:1 - Similar to top command as in linux
wmic useraccount - To know about the account details
wmic startup list full - Startup Programs


A good example by Alan Ridgeway - C:\> wmic /output:[file] [stuff you want it to do] /format:[format]
Ex - wmic /output:os.html os get /format:hform

Will post all your data, in a html format, you can output your data in CSV,PDF etc version.

To find alias info

wmic [alias] list full

Now start scripting with it and share some good result.

And in the last to explore more, you can look for help option

wmic /?

Good day,
