I found the Diagnostic mode for the nvidia shield tablet, you can find it at the following path…
Settings > About Tablet
At this screen you want to scroll down to “Kernal version” and tap it numerous times until it goes into diagnostics.
This is what it will looks like…
Hope this helps anyone…
If you use php web applications then your know a lot are now demanding to be updated to php 5.4 or higher. To do this in Ubuntu 12.04LTS simply do the following…
If you haven’t already used ppa then you will have to first install python software properties, make sure you’re the root user… ( sudo bash )
apt-get install python-software-propertiesPHP 5.4.x run:
add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-oldstablePHP 5.5.x run:
add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5Once you’ve added the repo simply update and upgrade current packages & distribution packages with one simple command :)
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -ySo I ran into this problem, I installed a fresh copy of Kali Linux onto a VM (VMware) so I could do some pen-testing on my local network without booting into Linux but couldn’t get Kali to use my external wireless card (I needed packet injection capabilities ;))
To make this short and sweet all you have to do to use your external USB wireless card (In My Case an Alfa Card) is just install updated vmware tools (I am assuming you have already added USB Controller in your VM settings…) you can do this by using the following commands on your shell/terminal:
apt-get update
apt-get install open-vm-tools
Once installed you should see your wireless card detecting new networks. This worked on Kali Linux x64 and because its based on Ubuntu Its safe to assume it will work with Ubuntu. Good luck and good hunting ;)
You might be asking yourself why would I care to list the last modified file/s right? Well if your in the security world then you know sometimes it’s important especially in a compromised server/workstation. It’s important to check what files may have been modified to help the attacker, for example, the editing of native configurations or scripts can facilitate permanent access to a system. It’s also important when trying to identify the potential root of the problem.
This command will list all files that were recently modified by without any real order.
ls -tThis command will list all files that were recently modified separating all file names by line by line.
ls -1tThis command will list all files that were recently modified separating all file names by line by line and limiting the amount displayed by 10
ls -1t | tail -10
I am sure there are more aggressive methods but this is a simple one that works pretty solid on any Linux distribution with bash.
Going to be adding dynamic width properties to the new framework. The idea is to expand beyond 1020px to about 1440 dynamically, this will improve readability/usability and use screen real estate more effectively. Dashboard back-end is also almost ready and will be implemented soon. The goal is to have a proprietary version of WordPress that runs more secure with less fat out of the box.
Today I get an email that looks like it came from GoDaddy except for a few things that don’t look right…
Email Headers are not correct, this was obviously a shitty job as the malicious user tried to make the email look like it was coming from godaddy but was actually coming from a compromised wordpress install on Hostgator.
From: Godaddy <donotreply@m.godaddy.com> Message-Id: <E1YXF6r-0008QX-BX@gator4163.hostgator.com>
The Email:

Except for the fact that there is no administrative contact info, phone, business address in the signature it looks somewhat legit. Now Lets look at body of the email specifically at the url and where the link points to…
http://someweirddomain.com/wp-includes/css/nvldigkoua.htm?nvldigkoua=e3251075554389fe91d17a794861d47b
So this is obviously a malicious email, a targeted one because the user had to go through some effort to put this type of attack together. Sadly this is someone trying to dupe you into coughing up your password or in my case a sad attempt at doing so.
It’s a good idea to go over some security logs after events like this as it could be a sign of someone already in your network and trying to escalate their access.
In my case it was just some noob who though he was dealing with a end user, my response… <^>-_-.
So I totally ripped myself off, it wasn’t suppose to be that way lol… I traded my ps4 with 2 controllers and two games for what was suppose to be a #nvidia shield tablet from some guy on craigslist with all accessories. I chatted with the guy for about half an hour and sounded totally legit. When I got home I had more time and light to inspect the tablet which ended up being a 16GB tablet instead of the 32GB version so I was like fml… as I continued I came to two corners which were also cracked, it looked like it had been dropped… FML~… Once I had it reset I tried to play a song and the damn speaker is blown, which sounded fine at low volume… Of course this sucked, I tried calling him back and texting and would get no answer. After about 30 minutes I found out who his name was and where he lived. I decided to say fuck it it’s not worth the drama and the cops would be like “dude! seriously for a ps4?”. So far the tablet is one of my favorite of all tablets I’ve ever owned it’s super fast and running the lollipop OS which is super smooth and responsive. I really want to upgrade to the 32GB so I can have some more room to do some native application development. It sucks that I got jacked but I am happy that I ended up with this tablet it’s perfect :*)
P.S. Hook me up with a 32GB version NVIDIA, I heard it rains tablets at HQ ;) @nvidia #nvidia
I was going through an old hosting account making sure I had backed up everything before it deletion and found some old work. This is was a flash project I originally created for Web Semantics (Web Symantecs) during its early conception. Considering this was done in 2005 and then updated in 2008 I have to say it’s still a pretty cool animation design. I’m just glad I was able to find it, I still can’t believe I was doing this with Macromedia Flash 7 and 8 (Macromedia was later bought out by Adobe), you can view the actual flash animation by clicking here.
Decemeber is always a slow month… so I ‘ve decided to further develop my own responsive framework dubbed Escaflowne… yes after the anime; So a new responsive design will be available soon for www.websemantics.com.
