Linux Blimp

They were called Tenno. Warriors of blade and gun: masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the old war were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more.

The Grineer, with their vast armies, are spreading throughout the solar system. A call echoes across the stars summoning the Tenno to an ancient place. They summon you.

Allow the Lotus to guide you. She has rescued you from your cryostasis chamber and given you a chance to survive. The Grineer will find you; you must be prepared. The Lotus will teach you the ways of the Warframes and the secrets to unlocking their powers.

COME TENNO, YOU MUST JOIN THE WAR.

Follow my step-by-step guide on installing, Warframe in Linux with Steam-Proton

Note: This guide applies to Steam-Proton. Only on Steam. It delivers DXVK and wine, tools by steam,winehq,codeweavers.

​

Tips
To learn more about proton see here Proton Explained

I’m using Arch. You can use Ubuntu or any Distro of choice

Arch 64bit Manjaro
Kernel-4.18.9-1
Steam-Proton-3.7-6 Beta
DXVK-patched

Steam Proton Installation Setup

 

Please have the following installed on your LinuxNote: have the most updated Nvidia drivers installed 396,54 if you’re on Intel or AMD you need mesa

Note: If your game Starts every time in windowed mode and the save does not take effect for your resolution. Remove -fullscreen:0 from line 422 in Launcher.sh from

Code:

/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Warframe/Tools/
(Mesa for Intel & AMD) only Intel & AMD
Nvidia
Steam

Vulkan
Vulkan-32bit
For Intel and AMD Users with no Nvidia

​

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/mesa
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386
Install Steam for Ubuntu and Debian – You might need to add a repo if you’re on an older Ubuntu

 

Code:

sudo apt install steam
Install Arch Linux

Code:

sudo pacman -S steam
Install Vulkan and Vulkan-32bit

Install Vulkan on Ubuntu and Debian

Code:

sudo apt install libvulkan1 libvulkan1:i386
Install Arch Linux

Code:

sudo pacman -S vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader

Now that is done and you have everything

open Steam and go to Settings”

Now go to your account and change to Beta updates for Steam Play. It will Restart Steam and Update
Let it do its thing it should take more than a few seconds

Once done Go back to Settings-Steam Play- Select Proton 3.7.6-Beta checkmark all three boxes

It will Restart Steam again Now that Proton is set

Now Go to the Store and find Warframe you should now see an install button. Now go to Library and it will say installing but will say steam proton next to the play button. Wait for it to install and try and launch it. (It won’t launch) This is ok we needed an initial start for proton

Now go to your $HOME/username/

and find /.local/steam/steamapps/common/
Now find the Proton 3.7 Beta Folder

Go here and change user_settings.sample.py to user_settings.py

Once done open the python file with a text editor I’m using mousepad. Make sure unhash the DXVK_HUD if you want it.

Now that this is complete.

We have to go get some files from an awesome guy who has been making Warframe work in Lutris for a long time now in wine and DXVK. His name is GloriousEggroll. If you like what he has done thank him and donate to him.

Note: GloriousEggroll says

You will need to plug in a controller. Proton auto-closes warframe after a few minutes if it does not detect one. You do not have to use the controller to play.
I’m using XBOX360 controller I have it plugged in but not using it

I haven’t tested if it works without one but any USB controller that you have that works with steam will work you do not have to use it if you don’t want too

Go here and Download https://gitlab.com/GloriousEggroll/warframe-linux/tree/steamplay-proton pick and choose your format I choose zip archive. Then extract it somewhere you want to keep it mines in /.Downloads/.

once you have those files extracted we need to copy all of them to here and replace all (if dialog box appears)

In your $HOME/yourusername/
/home/username/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Warframe/Tools/
Before you copy the files from here. Copy Launcher.exe and rename it to Launcher.backup or whatever just so you have a backup copy of original

Now you are good and done and we are finished. Now Start Warframe in Steam and you should get a white terminal box. It will update everything let it do its thing should only take 10-20mins depending on your CPU prob, not even that once its done it will open Warframe in windowed mode and you will have to set your Resolution.

Everytime you start Warframe you will get this white terminal box it will check updates and then open Warframe this is good

Optimization
If you want a higher FPS, Turn off Vsync. But I do not recommend it. Only if you’re not getting the FPS you want. Make sure you know what FPS you get in Games and know your internet speed.

Then you can set it to your right FPS. If its too high your CPU and GPU will go up. Unless Warframe Devs fixed this

By Matthew Cranford

I searched through many guides, and none of them really gave good description of how to do this. There’s a lot of software out there (such as SEToolkit, which can automate this for you), but I decided to write my own. The scope of this guide is NOT to perform any MITM attacks or sniff traffic. I have references below for those things, this guide is just to set up the Evil Twin for those attacks.

Section 1

Information:

An Evil Twin AP is also known as a rogue wireless access point. The idea is to set up your own wireless network that looks exactly like the one you are attacking. Computers won’t differentiate between SSID’s that share the same name. Instead, they’ll only display the one with the stronger connection signal. The goal is to have the victim connect to your spoofed network, perform a Man-In-the-Middle Attack (MITM) and forward their data on to the internet without them ever suspecting a thing. This can be used to steal someone’s credentials or spoof DNS queries so the victim will visit a phishing site, and many more!

Hyperledger Fabric Fundamentals (LFD271) $299

Hardware/Software Required:

A compatible wireless adapter – There are many on the internet to buy. I’m using the TL-WN722N. You can buy this from Amazon for about 15.00 dollars.

Kali Linux – You can either run from a USB or a VM. If you run from a VM, you may have issues getting the wireless card to work. I’ll write more on that later.

An alternate way to connect to the internet – The card you’re into the Evil Twin will be busy and therefore cannot connect you to the internet. You’ll need a way to connect, so as to forward the victim’s information on. You may use a separate wireless adapter, 3G/Modem connection or an Ethernet connection to a network.

Steps:

1. Install software that will also set up our DHCP service.

2. Install some software that will spoof the AP for us.

3. Edit the .conf files for getting our network going.

4. Start the services.

5. Run the attacks.

Section 2

–

Setting up the Wireless Adapter

PLEASE NOTE:

I recently discovered that you do NOT need to edit the network settings in Virtualbox to get the wireless adapter to work properly. Please go to Section 3 and follow the rest of the tutorial. The section below is for anyone who is having issues with the wireless adapter. It may help somewhat.

Okay, this is one of the hardest and trickiest parts of this tutorial. You may have to be patient and try this a couple of times for this to work, but after you figure this out, it will seriously help you with any future VM wireless adapter problems you may have.

This is going to assume you are running Kali from a Virtual Machine on Virtual box. If you’re running from a live USB, then don’t worry about this part. You can skip to the next section. Just plug in the adapter to a different port on the computer and it should integrate automatically.

First, plug the wireless adapter into one of the USB ports.

Second, if you are already running Kali, power off. Open up Virtual Box and go to the VM’s Settings.

Then, click on ‘Network’ and select the Adapter 2 tab.

Click on ‘Enable Network Adapter’ and then select ‘Bridged Adapter’ from the Attached to menu.

Next, click on Name and select your wireless adapter.

In my case, it’s called TP-LINK Wireless USB Adapter.

$299 REGISTERS YOU FOR OUR NEWEST SELF PACED COURSE! LFD201 – INTRODUCTION TO OPEN SOURCE DEVELOPMENT, GIT, AND LINUX!

Click OK and then boot into your VM.

Type in your username and password and log on. The default is root/toor.

Here comes the tricky part. We’ve set up Kali to use the Wireless adapter as a NIC, but to the VM, the wireless adapter hasn’t been plugged in yet.

Section 3

–

Now in the virtual machine, go to the top and click on ‘Devices‘, select ‘USB Devices‘, and finally click on your wireless adapter. In my case, it’s called ATHEROS USB2.0 WLAN.

Sometimes, when we select the USB device, it doesn’t load properly into the VM. I’ve found that if you are having trouble getting Kali to recognize the wireless adapter, try switching USB ports. You may have to try several before it works.

NOTE: Never go back and deselect it from the ‘USB Devices’ menu. This causes major errors and you will have to reboot the entire system to get it to work properly. If it doesn’t find it the first time, simply unplug it and try a different USB port, and then go back and re-select it. This may take a few tries, but it’ll work, trust me!

Section 4

–

DNSMASQ

Open up a terminal.

Type in the command:

apt-get install -y hostapd dnsmasq wireless-tools iw wvdial

This will install all the needed software.

Now, we’ll configure dnsmasq to serve DHCP and DNS on our wireless interface and start the service.

I’ll go through this step by step so you can see what exactly is happening:

cat <<EOF > etc/dnsmasq.conf – This tells the computer to take everything we are going to type and insert it into the file /etc/dnsmaq.conf.

log-facility=var/log/dnsmasq.log – This tells the computer where to put all the logs this program might generate.

#address=/#/10.0.0.1 – is a comment saying that we are going to use the 10.0.0.0/24 network.

#address/google.com/10.0.0.1 – is another comment example.

interface=wlan0 – tells the computer which NIC we are going to use for the DNS and DHCP service.

dhcp-range=10.0.0.10,10.0.0.250,12h – This tells the computer which ip address range we want to assign people. You could change this to any private address you like in order to make your Evil Twin look more authentic.

dhcp-options=3, 10.0.0.1-[insert command description]

dhcp-options=6,10.0.0.1-[insert command description]

#no-resolv = another comment.

EOF – End of File, means that we are done writing to the file.

service dnsmasq start – starts the dnsmasq service.

Section 5

–

Setting Up the Wireless Access Point

Now, we’re going to set up the Evil Twin. I’m going to deviate slightly from a tutorial I saw recently on this. I made a snippet of their commands, so no copyright infringement here. They use a 3G modem in order to forward the victim’s data, but we’ll be using the network you are already connected to. This is assuming you’re running from a VM and not a live USB. If you run from a USB, you will need an additional wireless card for doing this. Thankfully, using a VM, we only need one wireless adapter. Let’s get to it!

We are going to set up a network with an SSID of ‘linksys’.

I’ll post the picture from the provided tutorial, that I snipped, and then tell you of the additions and changes I did for this to work.

ifconfig wlan0 up – This confirms that our wlan0 interface is working. (wlan0 is the NIC we are using to perform this attack)

ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.1/24 – This sets the interface wlan0 with the ip address 10.0.0.1 in the Class C Private address range.

iptables -t nat -F – [ insert information about iptables commands]

iptables -F – [ insert information about iptables commands]

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o pp0 -j MASQUERADE – This tells the computer how we are going to route the information. I changed pp0 (which is a 3G modem interface) to eth0 which is the interface we are using to connect to the internet.

iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -o ppp0 -j ACCEPT – This tells the computer that we are going to route the data from wlan0 to ppp0. Again you need to change this to eth0 (or whatever interface you are using to connect to the internet).

echo ‘1’ > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward – This adds the number 1 to the ip_forward file which tells the computer that we want to forward information. If it was 0, then it would be off.

cat <<EOF > /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf – Again, this tells the computer that anything following that we type we want to add it to the hostapd.conf file.

interface=wlan0 – tells the computer which interface we want to use.

driver=nl80211 – tells the computer which driver to use for the interface.

ssid=Freewifi – This tells the computer what you want the SSID to be, I set mine to linksys.

channel=1 – This tells the comptuer which channel we want to broadcast on.

#enable_karma=1 – this is a comment they posted for a certain type of attack, which is outside the scope of this tutorial.

EOF – signifies the end of the file and stops the prompt.

service hostapd start – starts the service

Section 6

–

Success

At this point, you should be able to search, either with your phone or laptop, and find the Rouge Wireless AP! If so, then congratulations! YOU DID IT!

From here, you should be able to start performing all sorts of nasty tricks, MITM attacks, packet sniffing, password sniffing, etc. A good MITM program is Ettercap. It may be worth it to you to check it out.

Those things are outside the scope of this tutorial, but I may add them in at a future point.

If you weren’t successful, go back and read everything carefully, especially check your spelling when typing in commands.

If you need to re-edit the .conf files, you can use Gedit (apt-get install gedit) or leafpad (already installed), just navigate to the folder and type: gedit <<filename>> (without the ‘<< >>’). If you’re going to edit it, make sure you stop the service before doing so (service dnsmasq stop),(service hostapd stop).

Now, if you ever want to start up the Evil Twin again, just start up the services again and it should work properly!

Chamilo is a free e-learning and collaboration software which aims to improve the access to education on a global level. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Chamilo on a Linux VPS running Debian 9 as an operating system.

Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation steps make sure your server meets the Chamilo requirements. Here is the list of Chamilo requirements:

• Apache 2.2+
• MySQL 5.6+ or MariaDB 5+
• PHP 5.5+

Also, you need to have the following PHP modules installed and enabled:

• php-intl
• php-gd
• php-mbstring
• php-imagick
• php-curl
• php-mcrypt
• php-xml
• php-zip

If some of the software required for Chamilo to work is not installed or enabled on the server you can follow the steps below to install it.

Install Apache, MySQL and PHP on a Debian 9 VPS

Our Debian 9 VPS hosting comes with Apache, MySQL and PHP pre-installed. To install all the software including the dependencies on your server, first you need to connect to your Linux VPS via SSH and then you can run the commands below:

apt-get update
apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php php-mysql php-intl php-gd php-mbstring php-imagick php-curl php-mcrypt php-opcache php-xml php-zip

To verify the installation is completed run the following commands:

apache2 -v
# Server version: Apache/2.4.25 (Debian)
# Server built: 2018-06-02T08:01:13

mysql -V
# mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.1.26-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2

php -v
# PHP 7.0.30-0+deb9u1 (cli) (built: Jun 14 2018 13:50:25) ( NTS )
# Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group
# Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies
# with Zend OPcache v7.0.30-0+deb9u1, Copyright (c) 1999-2017, by Zend Technologies

Configure Apache for Chamilo on Debian 9

First of all, create an Apache virtual host for your new Chamilo website:

nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/yourdomain.com.conf

Add the following content:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/chamilo
ServerName yourdomain.com
ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com
<Directory /var/www/chamilo/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/yourdomain.com-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/yourdomain.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name. Save and close the file. Then, enable the configuration and restart the Apache web server:

a2ensite yourdomain.com
systemctl restart apache2.service

Create MySQL database for Chamilo on Debian 9

Next, create a MySQL database for Chamilo. Log into your MySQL database server as root:

mysql -u root -p

Then, create a new database, a database user and set up a password using the commands below:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE chamilo;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chamilo.* TO ‘chamilo’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘YoUrPaSsWoRd’;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> q

Of course, you need to replace YoUrPaSsWoRd with a strong password of your choice.

Configure PHP for Chamilo on Debian 9

In order for Chamilo to work properly, you need to adjust some PHP settings. First, find the location of the php.ini file which is currently in use. Run the following command in your terminal:

php –ini | grep “Loaded Configuration File”

Then, edit the following settings as follows:

max_execution_time = 300
max_input_time = 300
memory_limit = 128M
post_max_size = 64M
upload_max_filesize = 128M
max_file_uploads = 20

magic_quotes_gpc = Off
short_open_tag = Off
display_errors = Off

Save the changes you have made in the php.ini and restart Apache again.

systemctl restart apache2.service

Download and Install Chamilo on Debian 9

The next step is to download and install Chamilo on your Debian VPS. Download the latest version of Chamilo from the official Chamilo download page. At the moment of writing, the latest version is 1.11.8 which works well with PHP 7.0.x or later.

cd /var/www
wget https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/releases/download/v1.11.8/chamilo-1.11.8-php7.zip

Extract the zip archive you have just downloaded:

unzip chamilo-1.11.8-php7.zip

While you are in /var/www, rename the Chamilo directory, change the ownership of the files and remove the zip archive:

mv chamilo-1.11.8-php7 chamilo
chown -R www-data: chamilo/
rm -f chamilo-1.11.8-php7.zip

Now, open your favorite web browser and enter your domain in the search bar. You should see the Chamilo installation wizard which looks like the one on the image below:

 

Follow the installation process to complete the setup. It is OK to accept all default values. You should also consider changing the admin password so you can easily remember it. Once you are done with the installation of Chamilo on your server, you can refer to the official Chamilo documentation for more instructions on how to use and customize the software.

Of course, you don’t have to install Chamilo on Debian 9, if you use one of our Debian Cloud VPS Hosting services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to install Chamilo on Debian 9 for you. They are available 24×7 and will take care of your request immediately.

PS. If you liked this post on how to install Chamilo on Debian 9, please share it with your friends on the social networks using the buttons on the left or simply leave a reply below. Thanks.

This is a guide on how to configure ProFTPd for SFTP sessions. Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a secure version of FTP which transfers files via the SSH protocol. ProFTPD can be reconfigured to serve SFTP sessions vs using the default FTP protocol. This guide assumes you already have a existing ProFTPD installation. If you do not already have it installed please follow How to Install Proftpd.

Edit /etc/proftpd.conf To Enable sFTP

nano /etc/proftpd.conf

Un-comment the following lines to load mod_sftp

#LoadModule mod_sftp.c
#LoadModule mod_sftp_pam.c

To

LoadModule mod_sftp.c
LoadModule mod_sftp_pam.c

Add the following to the end of the configuration (outside of the <global> </global> block to run it separately)

<IfModule mod_sftp.c>
SFTPEngine ON
SFTPLog /var/log/sftp.log
Port 2222
SFTPHostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
SFTPLog /var/log/proftpd/sftp.log
SFTPCompression delayed
</IfModule>

SFTPEngine – This will enable SFTP
SFTPLog – This will set the log file for sftp connections
Port – This will set the port ProFTPd will listen on for SFTP connections
SFTPHostKey – This points to the SSH key.
SFTPCompression – This sets the compression method used during transfers

Open the sFTP port in the firewall

Firewalld:

Enable firewall rule:

firewall-cmd –zone=public –add-port=2222/tcp –permanent

Load the new firewall

firewall-cmd –reload

Iptables:

Enable the firewall rule:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp –dport 2222 -j ACCEPT

Save the firewall rule:

iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Restart Proftpd

CentOS 7:

systemctl restart proftpd

CentOS 6:

service proftpd restart

Thats all you need to do to configure ProFTPd to accept ssh connections. You should now able to connect via port 2222 using a sFTP client.

4. Test Guest Additions Features: Automatic Resizing Guest Display and Shared Clipboard

Installing Parrot Security OS 3.6 on Oracle VirtualBox

 

Parrot Security OS 3.6 New Features and Improvements

Parrot Security OS 3.6

is less memory-hungry. This was done by tuning up startup daemons management system and minor fixes. As a result, Parrot 3.6 Lite 32-bit now uses less than 200 MB RAM. Anonsurf was improved too, and now the section dedicated to anonymity and privacy is very reliable and well tested, and some nightmares of the precedent anonsurf versions now belong to the past. This release also brings a new Parrot OS derivative named Parrot Air. It’s similar to Parrot Full and comes with tools dedicated solely for wireless testing.

Parrot team says that Parrot Air is just a proof of concept that’ll be improved in future. Parrot Core is not only an awesome security oriented platform, but it is also suitable for more general purpose derivative projects, and workstations and personal computers can only take advantage from a very lightweight debian based system which is ready out of the box with all the customization and configurations already done by Parrot team.

Parrot Security OS Website:

https://www.parrotsec.org/

VirtualBox Guest Additions Features

The Guest Additions offer the following features below:

 

1. Improved Video Support: While the virtual graphics card which VirtualBox emulates for any guest operating system provides all the basic features, the custom video drivers that are installed with the Guest Additions provide you with extra high and non-standard video modes as well as accelerated video performance.
2. Mouse Pointer Integration: This provides with seamless mouse support. A special mouse driver would have to be installed in the guest OS, which would exchange information with the actual mouse driver on the host. The special mouse driver then allows users to control the guest mouse pointer.
3. Time Synchronization: With the Guest Additions installed, VirtualBox can ensure that the guest’s system time is better synchronized with that of the host.
4. Shared Folders: These provide an easy way to exchange files between the host and the guest.
5. Seamless Windows: With this feature, the individual windows that are displayed on the desktop of the virtual machine can be mapped on the host’s desktop, as if the underlying application was actually running on the host.
6. Shared Clipboard: With the Guest Additions installed, the clipboard of the guest operating system can optionally be shared with your host operating system.

Hope you found this Parrot Security OS 3.6 installation on Oracle VirtualBox tutorial helpful and informative. Please consider sharing it. Your feedback and questions are welcome!

Asyncio library is introduced in python 3.4 to execute single-threaded concurrent programs. This library is popular than other libraries and frameworks for its impressive speed and various use. This library is used in python to create, execute and structure coroutines and handle multiple tasks concurrently without doing the tasks in parallel. The major parts of this library are defined below:
Coroutine: The part of code that can be paused and resumed in multi-threaded script is called coroutine. coroutines work cooperatively in multi-threaded program. When one coroutine pauses then other coroutine can execute.
Event loop: It is used to start the execution of coroutines and handle input/output operations. It takes multiple tasks and complete them.
Task: The execution and the result of coroutines are defined by the tasks. You can assign multiple number of tasks using asyncio library and run the tasks asynchronously.
Future: It acts as a future storage where the result of coroutines will store after completion. This is useful when any coroutine requires to wait for the result of other coroutine.
How you can implement the above concepts of asyncio library is shown in this tutorial by using some simple examples at the source.
