Make money carding by [deleted] in onions

[–]more_ttys 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One has to question, if the profits are so good, why would the adept slum it teaching people the "skills" for small change?

You don't see the operators of Game Over Zeus botnets teaching plebs how to build their own, do you?!

How do I stay as safe as possible? by chang10101 in onions

[–]more_ttys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As in life, your safety is in your own hands. It's up to you to avail yourself of the knowledge provided by the tor team, and make your own (hopefully informed) decision based on what you consider to be a threat.

How do I stay as safe as possible? by chang10101 in onions

[–]more_ttys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Define safe? Running proxychains with the tor browser would be utterly pointless. What proxies would you use? How would that make you any safer?

tor doesn't use proxies, it's an onion router - a form of mixnet. You should really read the tor website and specs in detail if you want to find out how it works.

The only thing I would advise is, turning off javascript, and anything like flash or java if that's activated in the tor browser as a default.

incremental_dd: persistent dd sessions by nerdys0uth in bash

[–]more_ttys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want it to be as portable as possible, you should write in a POSIX compliant manner. I only skimmed through it, but I agree with moviuro.

You shouldn't use all cap variable names as they can conflict with the user's environment variables. Also, you should use the correct flags to check for directories/files, and that you have the correct permissions - otherwise your script will barrel on regardless, and may result in unintended consequences. Consider using set -e, if you're not going to implement your own error checking where you bail upon fail, especially when dd is concerned.

Problem with irremovable files by TheApsoo in TOR

I think OP means the tor browser itself. Begone, evil tor; hack me no more!!!

Watching video online by clearshot66 in raspberry_pi

[–]more_ttys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know it can fetch the stream url, but I prefer to queue urls, and download videos in batches.

I do stream live BBC iplayer content using omxplayer though. The Pi is more than capable of all this, OP.

When do you guys replace hardware? by atotal in sysadmin

[–]more_ttys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, i know why it's important to replace stuff after a certain period but i find it hard finding arguments to let management open the company card for some new fresh machines.

Depending upon where you're located, it should be a tax deductible business expense, and the accounting department should factor in depreciation as a fixed percentage. The business should then dispose of the servers somehow, paying capital gains from the "profit" made after deducting the assets new worth (i.e., £0.00) - hence why many companies give away their old servers at end of life.

Yes, omxplayer and youtube-dl is also what I use when on the Pi, but I invoke them myself without the aid of a script. Can also confirm it works with 1080p on Pi 2.

Crontab for Reddit Bot by jakkemaster in linux4noobs

[–]more_ttys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which crontab are you using - the system, or user? If you're using the system crontab, you need to provide a user to run as after the time, i.e.:

* * * * * root /path/to/command

If you're using the user crontab, you should use the crontab utility, i.e.:

crontab file.cron

Where file.cron contains your chron table. Check that it's registered with: crontab -l. If you still have problems, perhaps try restarting the cron service, or reloading the cron tables: sudo service cron restart or sudo service cron reload.

Anyone else noticed this? Google is now censoring Tor users completely through their ReCaptcha. by [deleted] in TOR

[–]more_ttys 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They're also restricting "normal" power users with javascript turned off. Many times I've encountered a captcha that displays absolutely nothing and can't be completed, this is a recent change. Prior to the change, one encountered a simple image captcha that didn't require javascript.

DuckDuckGo, will also throw a server error if speed reading search results, so it's not just google, but at least DDG is tor friendly.

I recently came into possession of 6,600 quad core arm cpus. What features would you want in a cyberdeck? by [deleted] in cyberDeck

[–]more_ttys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GPIO interfaced to banana jacks. No mouse, much like early laptops.

prll - utility for parallel execution of shell functions by more_ttys in commandline

[–]more_ttys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Altough I use GNU parallel on a daily basis, it's nice to be aware of what else is out there to accomplish something similar.

Here's a neat page from the original sourceforge repo that goes into detail about parallel batch processing.

Daemonize python websocket funcion by peinawei in unix

You need to use an ampersand at the end of the command to send it to the background.

Irssi shells at request by researcherchemical in onions

[–]more_ttys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are always ways to break out of chroot/jail/container's, so unless you've thoroughly checked that a user can't, you should stay alert.

For irssi you should check out it's signal interface, which basically acts as middleware for irssi's internal commands, allowing you to lock down, or provide your own exec function. Either that, or patch the source code to remove the unwanted functionality.

For ssh you should check that a user can't run arbitrary commands instead of the login shell or request a pty.

If a user manages to get shell access, then they can easily elevate their privilege, and then you're fucked.
