Lets face it, John the Ripper has been around a long time and the reason its been around a long time is because its damn good at cracking passwords.  Yea, hashcat and oclhashcat are great for gpu cracking, but it doesn’t support as many algorithms as JTR.  So, imagine my surprise when I fire up John The Ripper on backtrack 5 64 bit and find out it is using a single CPU.  That is letting a potential 75% of my system sit there wanting to do something.  Luckily the fix is easier than fixing a sandwich.

If you already have jtr installed, you may want to see my john tips article.

First, lets grab the jumbo sourcecode….

m5270123_aftershot_205x211

I had reviewed bibble labs bibble pro software several times as a solution to Digikam, Lightroom, etc in Linux.  Most recently I tried the bibble labs pro v5 series in October.  I was ready to shell out the $299 but for the life of me couldn’t figure out how to order the software from their website (and I am an IT person).  Anyways, Corel software purchased Bibble Pro in January 2012 and released it under the new name Aftershot Pro.  They also reduced the price down to $99 (or $79 if you are upgrading or have a license version of lightroom).

I immediately bought a license….and you know, if Adobe would release Photoshop for Linux, I would do the same thing.

# This fixes dropbox sync issues on linux
 
# get a list of files executable now
find ~/Dropbox -type f -perm -u+x > /tmp/dropbox_files-`date +%Y%m%d`
 
# fix the permissions
sudo chown -R $USER ~/Dropbox
sudo chmod -R u+rw ~/Dropbox
sudo chown -R $USER ~/.dropbox
sudo chmod -R u+rw ~/.dropbox
 
# remove any conflicting files from the file list above step 1
grep -v -e "conflicted copy" -e "Case Conflict" /tmp/dropbox_files-`date +%Y%m%d` > /tmp/dropbox_files-`date +%Y%m%d`.txt
# set the executable permissions back
for files in `echo /tmp/dropbox_files-\`date +%Y%m%d\`.txt` ; do chmod u+x "${files}" ; done
 
# remove any files that are in conflict
find ~/Dropbox -type f -name \*"conflicted copy"\* -exec rm -f "{}" \;
find ~/Dropbox -type f -name \*"Case Conflict"\* -exec rm -f "{}" \;
 
# remove temp files
rm -f /tmp/dropbox_files-`date +%Y%m%d`
rm -f /tmp/dropbox_files-`date +%Y%m%d`.txt
Sometimes you will run into an issue where you have multiple computers that mysteriously stop syncing with dropbox. What I have found is it is almost always caused by 1 of 2 things……file permissions, conflicts. I have 8 devices syncing to my dropbox, and every single one of them are linux except for one. It seems as though anytime I use my sole Windows computer to add something to dropbox….the others mess up. I suspect an issue with linux file permissions and windows ntfs drives.

Anyways, this script will fix the problems. Make sure you adjust the path if your linux install does not have dropbox at ~/Dropbox.

Darktable – a linux native replacement for lightroom

darktable

Everybody knows I have been an avid daily linux user since…..1995 or so, and I switched to linux as my primary desktop around 1997.  The ONE struggle I have had since day 1 is that I do photography as a hobby and since I started using photoshop (I think around version 3), I have never been able to find a permanent solution for linux.  I have used gimp, I even used gimp in the photography classes I taught but it is lacking in several areas…..one being 16+ bit support, the second being layered tiffs, and the third being its just not photoshop.  Then, along came lightroom while I was actually beginning to use gimp with digikam more….and that pretty much moved me back to photoshop again.

So, I have been fighting with trying to keep photoshop and lightroom working on wine and really just wishing adobe would come out with a photoshop and lightroom version for linux (I think they would make a freaking killing), trying Bibble again and trying to decide if I wanted to pay the price (I actually went to purchase it and for the life of me couldn’t figure out how….so you guys lost a sale just because there was no way to make a purchase from my signed in account with my expired trial license)…..when I came across Darktable.  Darktable aims to be a replacement for Lightroom.  Its really easy to install too.

openvas gsd interface

So backtrack 5 still using the older openvas-2 series and I actually like the newer version.  So here are the instructions on getting the latest version installed. This will install these versions: openvas libraries 4.0.5-1; openvas scanner 3.2.4-1; openvas client 3.0; openvas manager 2.0.4-1; openvas admin 1.1.1-1; gsa 2.0.1-1; gsd 1.2.0-1; openvas cli 1.1.2-1 as packaged by the opensuse build service.

 

NOTE: June 23, 2011 — if the version numbers have changed, you can browse the repository address and update this document accordingly.  Also, yes, this does work on my bt5 install on three different systems.  I am installing on a 4th system now and will update the steps because I think I may have left 1 or 2 out.
