xfce4 verve plugin as standalone application

I liked very much this plugin, when i tried xfce4 last time, also i liked xfce4, but i didnt like the root menu, so i switched back to fluxbox.

This plugin is nice because:

- application launcher

- url, ftp and file launcher

- auto complete

- saves history commands

I did some changes on verve-plugin.c (mostly was deleting code, and fixing)

i didn't bore in putting the code 100% ok, may concern at the time was just to put it working...

For now i didn't notice any bug or crash :D

Mount FTP as filesystem

CurlFtpFS is a filesystem for accessing FTP hosts based on FUSE and libcurl.

[Install]

localhost ~ # emerge net-fs/curlftpfs in gentoo
localhost ~ # apt-get install curlftpfs in ubuntu/debian
localhost ~ # ./configure && make && make install by the manual way

[Mount]

localhost ~ # modprobe fuse if you dont have fuse module loaded
localhost ~ # curlftpfs ftp://user:pass@site.com /mnt/mountpoint

[Umount]]

localhost ~ # fusermount -u /mnt/mountpoint

Thats it, now you can access with any file explorer like konqueror, nautilus…..we can do almost everything like edit source code

Adding on fstab
curlftpfs#ftp.host.com /mnt/mountpoint fuse rw,uid=500,user,noauto 0 0

or Making alias
alias mHost=’curlftpfs ftp://user:pass@site.com /mnt/mountpoint’

More int at http://curlftpfs.sourceforge.net/

Mount SSH as filesystem

SSHFS is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol.

[Install]

localhost ~ # emerge sys-fs/sshfs-fuse in gentoo
localhost ~ # apt-get install sshfs in ubuntu/debian
localhost ~ # ./configure && make && make install manual way

[Mount]

localhost ~ # modprobe fuse if you dont have fuse module loaded
localhost ~ # sshfs user@site.com: /mnt/mountpoint use “-o allow_other” for share between multiple users

[Umount]

localhost ~ # fusermount -u /mnt/mountpoint

Thats it, now you can access with any file explorer like konqueror, nautilus…..we can do almost everything like edit source code, create, delete….

Adding on fstab
sshfs#USERNAME@REMOTE_HOST: REMOTE_PATH MOUNT_POINT fuse SSHFS_OPTIONS 0 0

or Making alias
alias mHost=’modprobe fuse;sshfs user@site.com: /mnt/mountpoint -o allow_other’

translate.google.com --> translate text, web pages and act as proxy =)

pastebin.com --> paste code
imageshack.us --> host images
sendspace.com --> upload files
filewatcher.com --> find files

whatismyip.com --> my ip
ipcalc --> calculate mask, wildcard mask, network address, min host, max host...

Simple text extraction from images

You must have an screenshot tool and an OCR tool, the tools i use is imagemagick to take screenshots and gocr to recognize characters.

import -quality 100 /tmp/scan.png && gocr /tmp/scan.png


For example, testing with this example the output was :
Linux, ubuntu, gentoo, scripts, security, networks, digg, sIashdot, engadget, youtube.

Doesnt work 100% but can be usefull :)

Fingerprint on gentoo with multiple image verification

I recently installed fingerprint driver for my laptop, and i was looking to this thread on internet, with an nice how to.
But i decided to share some minor changes, its an patched version with:
"One more time" when fails finger recognition it ask you to swap the finger one more time, before telling you to write the password when fails.
It has been patched with multiple image verifications, if you have all fingers mapped, on finger scan it will check if the finger scanned is any of yours fingers. This is good because you can swap your finger in device to map it using different position, more or less velocity, .... with this method the probability of fail on verifications decreases :)


# layman -a wschlich-testing

# echo =app-misc/fprint_demo-0.4 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# echo =media-libs/libfprint-0.0.6 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# echo =sys-auth/pam_fprint-0.2 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

# cd /usr/portage/local/layman/wschlich-testing/sys-auth/pam_fprint/
# rm Manifest
# wget http://one2one.no.sapo.pt/pam_fprint-0.2.tar.bz2 -P /usr/portage/distfiles/
# ebuild pam_fprint-0.2.ebuild manifest
# ebuild pam_fprint-0.2.ebuild digest

# cd /usr/portage/local/layman/wschlich-testing/media-libs/libfprint/
# rm Manifest
# wget http://one2one.no.sapo.pt/libfprint-0.0.6.tar.bz2 -P /usr/portage/distfiles/
# ebuild libfprint-0.0.6.ebuild manifest
# ebuild libfprint-0.0.6.ebuild digest

# emerge -av fprint_demo pam_fprint

Then start fprint_demo and enroll your finger
then add "auth sufficient pam_fprint.so" on /etc/pam.d/system-auth

after
auth required pam_env.so

and before
auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok

Thats it, have fun ... comment if worked

Script to take picture at boot and send online

Ive made this script to take an picture on every linux boot and send online, just in case someone steel my laptop. (You must specify host, username and pass)

Note: it uses xawtv streamer tool and ftp to send the images to ftp server
If there's no internet connection the script stays on standby waiting for internet connections goes up, then sends. (I have made from some examples, and c# application for windows to do the same, maybe i can post here the application and code)


For example you can add this to startup:
in /etc/conf.d/local.start add sh take_pic_send_online.sh & &>/dev/null
/etc/inid.d/local restart :)

#!/bin/sh

dt=`date +%y%m%d-%T`
filepath="/tmp/"
filename="boot-"$dt".jpeg"
file=$filepath$filename

streamer -c /dev/video0 -b 32 -o $file

hostname="ftp.XXXX.XXX"
username="USERNAME"
password="PASSWORD"

while true
do

 if eval "ping -c 1 www.google.com"; then
      break;
 else
   sleep 15;
 fi

done

echo -e "***FTP SERVER DOWNLOAD SPEED***\n" >> /tmp/speedtest.log
ftp -inv $hostname >> /tmp/speedtest.log  <<>
 quote USER $username
 quote PASS $password
 cd boot
 binary
 lcd $filepath
 put $filename
 bye

EOF
rm $file /tmp/speedtest.log

Bash script and perl script to take screenshots online

This perl script was a little bit modified be me, to be used with freeimagehosting, because with with imageshack stopped working :(

I made this script to use with key combinations to select when i want to post an screenshot online or not. (Note: you must change the perl script path...)

To post the screenshot online and automatically open with Firefox
sh send.sh 0
To just only save the
sh send.sh 1

#!/bin/bash
filename=`date +%y%m%d%H%M%S`.png

mkdir /tmp/screens;
file=/tmp/screens/$filename
import $file -quality 100;

if [ $1 == 0 ];

 then
  firefox $( perl freeimagehosting.pl $file ) &
 fi
