  • 1. Command: Ls the Command “Ls” Stands for (List Directory Contents), List the Contents of the Folder, Be It File Or Folder, from Which It Runs
    Switching From Windows to Nix or a Newbie to Linux – 20 Useful Commands for Linux Newbies So you are planning to switch from Windows to Linux, or have just switched to Linux? Oops!!! what I am asking! For what else reason would you have been here. From my past experience when I was new to Nux, commands and terminal really scared me, I was worried about the commands, as to what extent I have to remember and memorise them to get myself fully functional with Linux. No doubt online documentation, books, man pages and user community helped me a lot but I strongly believed that there should be an article with details of commands in easy to learn and understand language.These Motivated me to Master Linuxand to make it easy-to-use. My this article is a step towards it. 1. Command: ls The command “ls” stands for (List Directory Contents), List the contents of the folder, be it file or folder, from which it runs. root@tecmint:~# ls Android-Games Music Pictures Public Desktop Tecmint.com Documents TecMint-Sync Downloads Templates The command “ls -l” list the content of folder, in long listing fashion. root@tecmint:~# ls -l total 40588 drwxrwxr-x 2 ravisaive ravisaive 4096 May 8 01:06 Android Games drwxr-xr-x 2 ravisaive ravisaive 4096 May 15 10:50 Desktop drwxr-xr-x 2 ravisaive ravisaive 4096 May 16 16:45 Documents drwxr-xr-x 6 ravisaive ravisaive 4096 May 16 14:34 Downloads drwxr-xr-x 2 ravisaive ravisaive 4096 Apr 30 20:50 Music drwxr-xr-x 2 ravisaive ravisaive 4096 May 9 17:54 Pictures drwxrwxr-x 5 ravisaive ravisaive 4096 May 3 18:44 Tecmint.com drwxr-xr-x 2 ravisaive ravisaive 4096 Apr 30 20:50 Templates Command “ls -a“, list the content of folder, including hidden files starting with „.‟.

  • Bootable Linux CD / PXE for the Remote Acquisition of Multiple Computers
    Bootable Linux CD / PXE for the remote acquisition of multiple computers Dennis Cortjens [email protected] REPORT 5th of July, 2014 Abstract In the field of digital forensics the acquisition of multiple computers in large IT infrastructures have always been a complex and time consuming task. Especially when one doesn't know which computer to investigate and therefore needs to acquire them all. Triage software has increased the efficiency in cases like this. The software gives an indication which computers to acquire, but one still needs to disassemble and acquire storage devices of the specific computers on the crime scene. In this study two concepts of automated remote acquisition of multiple computers are researched and tested on performance. One of the concepts (based on iSCSI) is developed into a proof concept, called the Remote Acquisition Boot Environment (RABE). Although it is not yet feasible for the remote acquisition to succeed the traditional method of acquiring computers, it could make the remote acquisition a time efficient solution in the near future. Acknowledgement I would like to thank the Netherlands Forensic Institute's digital technology team for their hospitality and pleasant and stimulating work environment. I want to extend my gratitude to Zeno Geradts and Ruud Schramp for their trust and support.

  • Xrdp.Log.Pdf
    Printed by Stephen Quinney Feb 05, 19 13:46 xrdp.log.txt Page 1/3 * Wednesday 31st January 2018 Stephen has imported the XRDP configuration from SEE. Most of it has been put into lcfg−level headers so that it can be shared. At the top level the service is configured using the dice/options/external−xrdp−server.h header. There is a test service accessible at xrdp.inf.ed.ac.uk which seems to work well. A quick survey of clients for Linux suggests that the best is remmina. Stephen will be talking about the project at the next Development meeting so before then he will collect all his notes on a wiki page for the project. * Wednesday 7th February 2018 Since SEE has already put together a remote desktop solution which works well and is freely available, there seemed little point in trying other possible solutions; so a small test version of SEE’s RDP−based remote desktop service has been set up here in Informatics. It uses HAProxy as a load−balancing front end. In the trial service at xrdp.inf.ed.ac.uk, the front end routes connection requests to the less loaded of the two backend machines, or to an existing session if there is one. The test service will be open to computing staff. It’s envisaged that the full service will use real hardware rather than virtual, and that there will be separate staff and student services. The next work on this project will be to add some Informatics identity to the login screen; to change access controls on the PAM stack for the backend machines, to permit differences between staff and student services; and to document the services on computing.help.

An Abstract of (Re)Presentation and (Re)Production of Ideology: The Case of Grand Theft Auto IV, a Framework for the Analysis of Culture and Violence, and the Role of Critical Media Literacy in an Education for Democratic Citizenship by Jeffery H. Warnke Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Education Degree in Theory and Social Foundations of Education The University of Toledo May 2012 The intersection of culture, ideology, power, identity, and violence are explored and interrogated through the lens of media literacy in this study. A transdisciplinary framework is developed for the purpose of an ideological analysis of violent media and employed in a case study of the Grand Theft Auto IV video game. The ubiquity of media and the representation and reproduction of ideologies inconsistent with the democratic ethics is a necessary site for education.
