The tips are fun and the hope of discov- ering hidden gems makes it a worthwhile task. John Southern Former editor of Linux Magazine I enjoyed Ubuntu Kung Fu and learned some new things. I would rec- ommend this book—nice tips and a lot of fun to be had. Carthik Sharma Creator of the Ubuntu Blog (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com) Wow! There are some great tips here! I have used Ubuntu since April 2005, starting with version 5.04. I found much in this book to inspire me and to teach me, and it answered lingering questions I didn’t know I had. The book is a good resource that I will gladly recommend to both newcomers and veteran users.

  • Winappdbg Documentation Release 1.6
    WinAppDbg Documentation Release 1.6 Mario Vilas Aug 28, 2019 Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Programming Guide 3 i ii CHAPTER 1 Introduction The WinAppDbg python module allows developers to quickly code instrumentation scripts in Python under a Win- dows environment. It uses ctypes to wrap many Win32 API calls related to debugging, and provides a powerful abstraction layer to manipulate threads, libraries and processes, attach your script as a debugger, trace execution, hook API calls, handle events in your debugee and set breakpoints of different kinds (code, hardware and memory). Additionally it has no native code at all, making it easier to maintain or modify than other debuggers on Windows. The intended audience are QA engineers and software security auditors wishing to test or fuzz Windows applications with quickly coded Python scripts. Several ready to use tools are shipped and can be used for this purposes. Current features also include disassembling x86/x64 native code, debugging multiple processes simultaneously and produce a detailed log of application crashes, useful for fuzzing and automated testing. Here is a list of software projects that use WinAppDbg in alphabetical order: • Heappie! is a heap analysis tool geared towards exploit writing. It allows you to visualize the heap layout during the heap spray or heap massaging stage in your exploits. The original version uses vtrace but here’s a patch to use WinAppDbg instead. The patch also adds 64 bit support. • PyPeElf is an open source GUI executable file analyzer for Windows and Linux released under the BSD license. • python-haystack is a heap analysis framework, focused on classic C structure matching.

  • Using the GNU Debugger (Gdb) a Debugger Is a Very Useful Tool for Finding Bugs in a Program
    Using the GNU debugger (gdb) A debugger is a very useful tool for finding bugs in a program. You can interact with a program while it is running, start and stop it whenever, inspect the current values of variables and modify them, etc. If your program runs and crashes, it will produce a ‘core dump’. You can also use a debugger to look at the core dump and give you extra information about where the crash happened and what triggered it. Some debuggers (including recent versions of gdb) can also go backwards through your code: you run your code forwards in time to the point of an error, and then go backwards looking at the values of the key variables until you get to the start of the error. This can be slow but useful sometimes! To use a debugger effectively, you need to get the compiler to put extra ‘symbol’ information into the binary, otherwise all it will contain is machine code level – it is much more useful to have the actual variable names you used. To do this, you use: gfortran –g –O0 mycode.f90 –o mybinary where ‘-g’ is the compiler option to include extra symbols, -O0 is no optimization so the code is compiled exactly as written, and the output binary is called ’mybinary’. If the source files and executable file is in the same directory, then you can run the binary through the debugger by simply doing: gdb ./mybinary This will then put you into an interactive debugging session. Most commands can be shortened (eg ‘b’ instead of ‘break’) and pressing ‘enter’ will repeat the last command.

  • The GNOME Desktop Environment
    The GNOME desktop environment Miguel de Icaza ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Elliot Lee ([email protected]) Federico Mena ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Tom Tromey ([email protected]) April 27, 1998 Abstract We present an overview of the free GNU Network Object Model Environment (GNOME). GNOME is a suite of X11 GUI applications that provides joy to users and hackers alike. It has been designed for extensibility and automation by using CORBA and scripting languages throughout the code. GNOME is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL and the GNU LGPL and has been developed on the Internet by a loosely-coupled team of programmers. 1 Motivation Free operating systems1 are excellent at providing server-class services, and so are often the ideal choice for a server machine. However, the lack of a consistent user interface and of consumer-targeted applications has prevented free operating systems from reaching the vast majority of users — the desktop users. As such, the benefits of free software have only been enjoyed by the technically savvy computer user community. Most users are still locked into proprietary solutions for their desktop environments. By using GNOME, free operating systems will have a complete, user-friendly desktop which will provide users with powerful and easy-to-use graphical applications. Many people have suggested that the cause for the lack of free user-oriented appli- cations is that these do not provide enough excitement to hackers, as opposed to system- level programming. Since most of the GNOME code had to be written by hackers, we kept them happy: the magic recipe here is to design GNOME around an adrenaline response by trying to use exciting models and ideas in the applications.
