- How to Extract Audio from Video file using ffmpeg

FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It is a command line tool to convert one video file format to another. It also supports grabbing and encoding in real time from a TV card. Several FrontEnds/GUIs available like WinFF, Super, Avanti, AutoFF, Xpegt, GVC.

You can easily extract audio from video files such as avi, mpg, even flv into mp3 uses ffmpeg. You can even record online stream into mp3, such as stream from radio cast.

The audio component can be extracted to an mp3 using floowing command (from the command line Terminal). (This will work for any type of video file, not just Flash.)

ffmpeg -i video.flv -ab 160k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -vn audio.mp3

-i indicates the input
-ab indicates the bit rate (in this example 160kb/sec)
-vn means no video ouput
-ac 2 means 2 channels
-ar 44100 indicates the sampling frequency.

See FFMPEG docs for more info

- Using “at” command to schedule jobs in Linux

At allows fairly complex time specifications, extending the POSIX.2 standard. It accepts times of the form HH:MM to run a job at a specific time of day. (If that time is already past, the next day is assumed.)

You may also specify midnight, noon, or teatime (4pm) and you can have a time-of-day suffixed with AM or PM for running in the morning or the evening. You can also say what day the job will be run, by giving a date in the form month-name day with an optional year, or giving a date of the form MMDDYY or MM/DD/YY or DD.MM.YY.

The specification of a date must follow the specification of the time of day. You can also give times like now + count time-units, where the time-units can be minutes, hours, days, or weeks and you can tell at to run the job today by suffixing the time with today and to run the job tomorrow by suffixing the time with tomorrow.

The superuser may use these commands in any case. For other users, permission to use at is determined by the files /etc/at.allow and /etc/at.deny.

If the file /etc/at.allow exists, only usernames mentioned in it are allowed to use at.

If /etc/at.allow does not exist, /etc/at.deny is checked, every username not mentioned in it is then allowed to use at.

If neither exists, only the superuser is allowed use of at.

An empty /etc/at.deny means that every user is allowed use these commands, this is the default configuration.

Examples of using at command:

:~ # at 12:00
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
at> echo "At example" > /home/nikesh/at.example
at>
job 2 at 2010-04-05 12:00
:~ #

Use atq to know the current jobs in queue. Jobs that are running have a status as” =” and jobs to be scheduled have a status “a” .The displayed output is the format

# atq
1 2010-04-05 12:00 a root
2 2010-04-05 12:00 a root

- How To Convert PDF files to HTML file - pdftohtml

pdftohtml converts Portable Document Format files to HTML. This release converts text and links. Bold and italic face are preserved, but high level HTML structures (like lists or tables) are not yet generated. Images are ignored in the current version (but you can extract them from the pdf file using pdfimages, distributed with xpdf).

Installation:
OpenSuSe user can install pdftohtml using "1-click" installer - here

Using pdftohtml:
pdftohtml runs from the command line with various options. The basic form of the command is:

pdftohtml [pdf file name]

This command gives you a simple HTML file suitable for reading or copying the textual content of the PDF file. You can actually grab the text from your browser and paste it into other applications.

If you want to see graphics, you'll need to use the -c (as in "complex") option:

pdftohtml -c [pdf file name]

This option produces individual HTML files, one for each page of the PDF file, with the PNG references mixed in. The graphics in the original PDF file show up in a browser and the text part can be cut and pasted. The total size of the HTML and PNG files generated with the -c option tend to be roughly equivalent to that of the original PDF.

- How to Configure clear and smooth fonts (subpixel rendering) in OpenSuSe Linux

Due to some patent issues, most of the distributions ship their free type packages with subpixel rendering option disabled and The subpixel hinting implementation in freetype2 might infringe Microsoft's Clear-type patents, which is why it is disabled both upstream (by the freetype2 authors) and in the freetype2 RPM packages that ship with openSUSE.

You can upgrade the freetype2 packages using 1-click-install - here and enable the subpixel option.

KDE Configuration:
Now go to Configure Desktop > Appearance > Fonts
enable the "Use anti-aliasing for fonts" and click on "Configure" button

Enable the checkbox "Use sub-pixel hinting"
Select "Medium" or "Full" from the Hinting style (the best settings is both a matter of taste and depending on your monitor, try the different hinting style options to see what suits you best).

- How to get all the required BIOS information (name, serial, version, type, etc ..) using Linux

The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is boot firmware, designed to be the first code run by a PC when powered on. The initial function of the BIOS is to identify, test, and initialize system devices such as the video display card, hard disk, floppy disk and other hardware. The BIOS sets the machine hardware into a known state, so that software stored on compatible media can be loaded, executed, and given control of the PC. This process is known as booting, or booting up, which is short for bootstrapping.

dmidecode is a tool for dumping a computer's DMI (some say SMBIOS ) table contents in a human-readable format. This table contains a description of the system's hardware components, as well as other useful pieces of information such as serial numbers and BIOS revision. Thanks to this table, you can retrieve this information without having to probe for the actual hardware.

The DMI table doesn't only describe what the system is currently made of, it also can report the possible evolutions (such as the fastest supported CPU or the maximal amount of memory supported).

Go to terminal and run the command : dmidecode will try to locate the DMI table. If it succeeds, it will then parse this table and display a list of records like this one:

Each record has:
* A handle. This is a unique identifier, which allows records to reference each other. For example, processor records usually reference cache memory records using their handles.

* A type. The SMBIOS specification defines different types of elements a computer can be made of.

* Decoded values. The information presented of course depends on the type of record. Here, we learn about the board's manufacturer, model, version and serial number.

- ninja - Monitor Linux System for Unauthorized root access

Ninja is a privilege escalation detection and prevention system for GNU/Linux hosts. While running, it will monitor Process activity on the local host, and keep track of all processes running as root. If a process is spawned with UID or GID zero (root), ninja will log necessary information about this process, and optionally kill the process if it was spawned by an unauthorized user.

A "magic" group can be specified, allowing members of this group to run any setuid/setgid root executable.

Individual executable can be white-listed. Ninja uses a fine grained white-list that lets you white list executable on a group and/or user basis. This can be used to allow specific groups or individual users access to setuid/set-gid root programs, such as su and passwd.

Installation:
Download ninja from - here
Untar the source, goto the ninja directory and type following command to compile and install the ninja:

make
make install

copy the white-list file to the /etc/ninja directory

cp examples/whitelist/simple.wlist /etc/ninja/

Configuration:
Add group "ninja" (note down the group id):

groupadd ninja

Add user 'root' and all other required users to this group:

usermod -G ninja nikesh
usermod -G ninja root

Create the ninja log files:

touch /var/log/ninja.log

Open the ninja configuration file: vi /etc/ninja/default.conf and change the following settings

group=1000
daemon = yes
interval = 0
logfile = /var/log/ninja.log
whitelist = /etc/ninja/simple.wlist
external_command = /root/bin/alert

Here you also need to create a simple script alert (/root/bin/alert) with following entries

#!/bin/bash
echo 'Alert - Unauthorized Access to system.' | mail -s "'Alert - Unauthorized Access to system." njauhari@cybage.com

Edit the whitelist file located under the /etc/ninja/simple.wlist
The first field is the full path to the executable you wish to white-list. The second field is a comma separated list of groups that should be granted access to the executable. The third field is a comma separated list of users.

<executable>:<groups>:<users>

The second or third field can be left empty. Please refer to the example whitlist located in "examples/whitelist/".

Remember that it is a good idea to whitelist programs such as passwd and other regular setuid applications that users require access to.

Finally start ninja using following command:

/usr/local/bin/ninja /etc/ninja/default.conf

Testing Ninja:
Create a test user 'test'
Login to the system using this test user
now attempt to become 'root' user by typing command 'su - '
Here ninja will come into action and will kill the entire session and dump the information into the log ...

- libextractor - Extracting Metadata from any types of files using Linux

GNU libextractor is a library used to extract meta data from files of arbitrary type. It is designed to use helper-libraries to perform the actual extraction, and to be trivially extendable by linking against external extractors for additional file types

Currently, libextractor supports the following formats: HTML, PDF, PS, OLE2 (DOC, XLS, PPT), OpenOffice (sxw), StarOffice (sdw), DVI, MAN, FLAC, MP3 (ID3v1 and ID3v2), NSF(E) (NES music), SID (C64 music), OGG, WAV, EXIV2, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, DEB, RPM, TAR(.GZ), ZIP, ELF, S3M (Scream Tracker 3), XM (eXtended Module), IT (Impulse Tracker), FLV, REAL, RIFF (AVI), MPEG, QT and ASF. Also, various additional MIME types are detected.

Installation:

wget http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libextractor/libextractor-0.6.0.tar.gz
tar xvfz libextractor-0.4.1.tar.gz
cd libextractor-0.4.1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

After installing libextractor, the extract tool can be used to obtain metadata from documents.

Using libextractor:
Below is the simple example of extracting the metadata from any given FLV file

- How To Hide PHP Version Information

PHP (Hypertest Preprocessor) is a server-side HTML embedded scripting language that is very popular for web development. When PHP is running on a web server, each and every request to the web server will return the following line of header with PHP version information to the browser and using this information attackers may target the specific vulnerability in that version of PHP.

X-Powered-By - PHP/5.2.6-2ubuntu4.6

So it’s recommended disable and turn php version information off. Web masters can disable version information in the php.ini file, usually located in /etc/php.ini or /etc/php5 or /etc/php4 directory.
Modify setting as follows:

expose_php = Off
display_errors=Off
register_globals = Off

Also its a good idea to send all errors to some other file (example: /var/log/php-error.log) and not on screen to end user.
Modify setting as follows:

error_log = /var/log/httpd/php-scripts-error.log

Finally after making all the above changes - Restart Apache.

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Now all php script errors are written to /var/log/php-error.log.

- Load balancing the Webserver (http/https traffic) using Pound on Linux

The Pound program is a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end for Web server. Pound was developed to enable distributing the load among several Web-servers and to allow for a convenient SSL wrapper for those Web servers that do not offer it natively.

WHAT POUND IS:
* A reverse-proxy: it passes requests from client browsers to one or more back-end servers.
* A load balancer: it will distribute the requests from the client browsers among several back-end servers, while keeping session information.
* An SSL wrapper: Pound will decrypt HTTPS requests from client browsers and pass them as plain HTTP to the back-end servers.
* An HTTP/HTTPS sanitizer: Pound will verify requests for correctness and accept only well-formed ones.
* A fail over-server: should a back-end server fail, Pound will take note of the fact and stop passing requests to it until it recovers.
* A request redirector: requests may be distributed among servers according to the requested URL.

Pound is a very small program, easily audited for security problems. It can run as setuid/setgid and/or in a chroot jail. Pound does not access the hard-disk at all (except for reading the certificate file on start, if required) and should thus pose no security threat to any machine.

Installation:
OpenSuSe user can install pound using "1-click" installer - here

Others - Download and unpack the source tarball, installation is the standard ./configure&&make&&make install. (If you plan on utilizing Pound's SSL support, specify ./configure ––with-ssl.

Look for the pound executable in /usr/local/sbin and look for the configuration file, pound.cfg, in /usr/local/etc.

Next, configure Pound. Here's a simple pound.cfg file:

ListenHTTP
Address 1.2.3.4
Port 80
Service
Backend
    Address 192.168.0.1
    Port 80
End
Backend
    Address 192.168.0.2
    Port 80
End
End

This instructs Pound to listen on the public IP address 1.2.3.4 and pass requests evenly to the two backend machines named with Service. If the machines have significantly different resources available to them, you can alter the odds of a server being chosen with the Priority directive. Values may be 1 through 9, where the value 9 means use most often, and the value 1 means least frequent. Pound balances servers dynamically: if a server goes down, Pound automatically removes the system from the pool of available servers.

Many web applications use sessions and Pound can track sessions between a client browser and the host backend server. Pound supports five techniques: client IP address, basic authentication, URL parameter, cookie value, and header value. Only one session definition is allowed per Service.

For example, to use client IP-based tracking that keeps sessions active for ten minutes, add the following to your Pound config file:

Session
Type IP
TTL 600
End

To harden Pound, run the daemon as a non-privileged user. To do this, use the User and Group directives to specify the user and group, respectively:

User "nobody"
Group "nobody"

Keep in mind that after adding Pound into your network setup, your backend servers will log the IP address of your Pound machine instead of the client IP of the person browsing your site. As a general rule, Pound passes all headers as set by the client to the backend servers, with two exceptions: Pound adds a X-Forwarded-For header, and may add information about the SSL certificate.

You can use the X-Forwarded-for header to update your logging mechanism to record the correct information.

For example, If you're using Apache combined logging, replace the letter h (remote host) with:

\"%{X-Forwarded-for}i\"

- Powerful, Fast and Reliable Backup & Sync tool - luckyBackup

LuckyBackup is a powerful, fast, reliable, and fully customizable backup and sync tool. It can backup any directory (the source) to another (the destination).

luckyBackup copies over only the changes you've made to the source directory and nothing more, saving a great deal of time for backups after the first one. Whatever changes you make to the source, including adding, moving, deleting, modifying files or directories, will have the same effect on the destination. Owner, group, time stamps, links, and permissions of files are preserved (unless directed otherwise). The synchronization feature works on any pair of directories, keeping the files that were most recently modified on both of them. It includes many safety checks to prevent accidental loss of data.

Features of LuckyBackUp
* Easy and safe creation of a remotely located clone of your existing data. After the first backup of the source directory, LuckyBackUp will copy only the changes made. Links, permissions, time stamps, owner, and groups are preserved unless stated otherwise.
* You can sync files between directories, it’s a handy tool if you work on more than one machine. You do not have to keep track of the last directory you modified.
* The tool ensures data safety by first checking if the database that you have declared actually exists.
* There are a lot of options for users tabbed as Simple and Advanced.
* An exclude button lets you exclude any file or folder from the transfer process.
* An only include option will let you backup only specific files, folders, and patterns within your source directory.
* You can alter the default rsync options that LuckyBackUp provides.
* Use remote connections either as source or destination folder.
* Commands can be executed before or after a specific task.
* A very handy “restore” function to undo unintentional deletes or mistakes.
* Simulate an rsync in a dry run before actuating the actual job.
* You can create and save multiple profiles so that you don’t have initiate a task from scratch every time you wish to perform it.
* You can schedule tasks under already created profiles via cronjobs.
* A logfile in your home folder records all tasks.
* You can run the application either via the GUI or the command line.

Installation:
OpenSuSe / Fedora / CentOS user can download the LuckyBackup rpm file and can install LuckBackup using following command:

rpm -ivh luckybackup-0.3.5-1.i686.rpm

Once installed open up a terminal window and issue the command luckybackup. This command will open up the user-friendly gui where you add all of the backups you want to create.

Using LuckyBackup:

Step 1: Click the Add button
Name: Name to give the backup.
Type: Full or incremental.
Source: What you want to backup.
Destion: Directory on local or remote host to store backup.

Step 2: Click Okay to save your settings.

Step 3: Click Start to begin the backup process.

If your backup was setup correct you will immediately be informed such and, in the terminal window you can see the progress of your backup.

- Accept or Reject mail from selected Domains / Users using Sendmail

The access database file can be created to accept or reject mail from selected domains. For example, you may choose to reject all mail originating from known spammers, or to accept to relay all mail from your local network.

The /etc/mail/access file has two columns. The first lists IP addresses and domains from which the mail is coming or going. The second lists the type of action to be taken when mail from these sources or destinations is received. Keywords include RELAY, REJECT, OK (not ACCEPT), and DISCARD

spammer@aol.com         REJECT
cyberspammer.com         REJECT
192.168.212                     REJECT
spammer@aol.com         REJECT

cyberspammer2.com           550 We don't accept mail from spammers
okay.cyberspammer.com    OK
sendmail.org                         OK
128.32                                   RELAY

# You can also use the access database to block sender addresses based on
# the user name portion of the address. For example:

FREE.STEALTH.MAILER@ 550 Spam not accepted

# by default we allow relaying from localhost
