Did you notice the new theme? I hope so, it’s drastically different. As you can tell it is 100% original and simple. Simplicity over Features, you can see that that is the one rules I design by if you visit my visit my design site, http://www.rickykresslein.com.
I love the simplicity of the new theme and I plan on adding on and expanding it a lot in the coming months. An RSS link, for example, will be on the sidebar soon. This new design may also lead to a new logo…
On another note, I have not forgotten about the WPA handshakes either, I just haven’t had a chance to get all of my data together after reformatting (Yay ext4!). Once I get everything back on track those will be the first things to be posted.

Upgrade Everything
When you install Arch you are installing a “snapshot” of where Arch was at the time that .iso was released. This means, depending on how recently it was released, many, many packages will be out-of-date. To update the entire system you only need to issue one, simple command as root:
pacman -Syu
Install Screen
Not only can you use screen instead of a window manager/desktop environment, you can use them together! Screen is always the first thing I install when configuring a new Arch install. It will allow you (if you know how, more on that here) to do multiple things at once, like edit your rc.conf while installing Eclipse at the same time. To install screen:
pacman -S screen
Install vim
Vim is the best CLI text editor. Period. Nothing else even comes close. Before editing ANY files or installing anything other than those previously mentioned, I must install vim. To easily install via pacman:
pacman -S vim
Edit Sudoers
Edit your sudoers file now or it will begin to piss you off, forcing you to stop being lazy, put aside anything you are doing, and enter:
vim /etc/sudoers
If you would like to be allowed to sudo anything, place
yourusername ALL=(ALL) ALL
on the line under:
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
Now that you have done this, instead of typing ’su’ and then entering a root password everytime you want to install a program, you can just type:
sudo myRootCommand
and enter your password when prompted.

To go along with the scheme of the upcoming Scribute site design, Scribute 2.0, I am releasing this wallpaper. Right now I only have it available in 1024×768, but as the new design rolls out so will more sizes. The colors used in this wallpaper will be, more or less, the colors used in the new theme. I am not going to release any details of the new theme yet *cough*Horizontal Scrolling*cough* but they will be released over time as well. If anyone has any ideas please add let me know in the comments, and who knows, maybe you’re idea will be featured in the design of Scribute.

Sorry for the lack of posts, it happens when school becomes my main focus. I have learned a lot of Python over the last few weeks, so look forward to me rolling out some custom scripts, *hopefully* soon. I am going to post some word lists and WPA password files here for visitors to try to crack as well. Hopefully I can get everything together soon so more content goes up on this site.

Today I ditched Slackware completely. It used to be my number one, most used operating system. Until I found one that was better.
It all started when I got my Asus eee 1000HA. I installed a half-dozen different OS’s on it trying to find one that worked well with the weird hardware, and one that I liked. I just couldn’t find it. I tried Ubuntu with Adam’s kernel, gentoo, FreeBSD, Slackware, and Debian. Either it didn’t work with enough of the hardware or I just plain didn’t like it. Until I found Arch, which was about the same time that my mind was blown.
I never knew an OS could be so simple, yet extremely personal. There is now not a single program on my eee that I don’t want there. Not a single library. Not a single web browser. Everything that was installed was because I requested it to be installed. And it’s EASY! No, not to a n00b, but if you have decent linux experience, it is easy.
And the package manager! I really don’t like apt-get very much. I don’t mind sbopkg in Slackware, but it doesn’t find dependencies. But pacman (Arch’s pm) is simply amazing. It has support for rolling updates so you never need to worry about installing another release again.
“What’s that? KDE 4.2 was announced today? Let me install it, and while I’m at it I’ll just do a system update too.”
Types in terminal: # pacman -Syu
That’s it! I now have the latest kernel, KDE, and any other package on my system!
Give it a go if you don’t believe me.
Update: Arch just added kernel 2.6.28 to it’s core, meaning you can upgrade to this version with “pacman -Syu”. This also means you are eligible for the new filesystem, ext4.

First we are going to make a new directory to work with. I did this in my home folder.
mkdir ~/linux
Next download the 2.6.28 kernel to this folder. When that is finished, unarchive it with:
tar -xjvf linux-2.6.28.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.28
Now to make the config file. (Notice that the $ before the pre is not actually typed, this indicates your regular user shell, while # means root shell)
$ make xconfig
Now we run:
$ make
Go get some coffee, this may take some time.
Now for the moment you’ve been waiting for, we get to become root! Under root, run:
# make modules_install
Better safe than sorry – just to be sure of the version, run:
# make kernelversion
Which should output 2.6.28. If it did, great, move on. If not…you messed up, sorry, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
I am not going to go in depth into the following commands, it’s just copying stuff to other places, pretty self explanatory. If you don’t know what’s going on, that’s OK just follow along.

The first thing we are going to do is install BackTrack 3 onto an SD card so we can boot from the SD card without having to mess up our currently installed OS. I am not going to go into the details of how to do that here, as it is readily available all over the internet. Here is the article I followed.
After you have booted into BackTrack 3, we are ready for the fun part. The first thing we will do is shutdown our wifi card. In the terminal:
ifconfig ath0 down
Next we want to bring it back up, but in monitor mode:
airmon-ng start wifi0
You should see that a new interface called ath1 was created. That is the interface we are going to use for the rest of our cracking. Next:
airodump-ng ath1
This will list all of the wifi signals your card is picking up. There are two things you are going to want to write down: the BSSID and the Channel (CH), and also make sure the Encryption (ENC) is WEP. Or, if you don’t want to write thpre down, just open a new shell and leave that one open.
Now press
ctrl+c
to stop airodump-ng. Open a new console (if you haven’t already) and type:

Why don’t we stop talking about tech for a minute and reflect on the cheating ways of NFL referees. How about today’s game, Titans vs. Ravens. Since when does a 3 sec delay of game not get called? Were they bribed or just plain dumb? Not saying the Ravens didn’t deserve it, but come on.

Here are my favorite articles of the week. Most of them have to do with media and file storage because that’s what I was messing around with the whole week.
- Converting AVI to DVD in Linux
- Setting up a LAN file server running Ubuntu
- Making that file server accessible from anywhere
- Making bank during the recession
- Diggnation clip show
If more come up before Sunday, they will also be added.

Hey everyone, welcome to Scribute.com. Just to give you a little bit of info on what to expect from this site:
The main themes of this site is Security, Hacking, Linux, occasionally Mac, but NEVER Windows. In the coming days and weeks I will be posting some interesting articles that I have already begun working on, so stay tuned for those. Pardon the very un-customized Wordpress theme, that is also coming. A couple of the articles you can expect are: 1. Hacking WEP with Slackware and aircrack-ng, 2. A link round-up to some of my favorite posts by other bloggers, and 3. Random post of DIY projects pertaining to Linux and Hacking.
Just to give you a little on who I am so the title is not completely decieving:
Things I dislike:
- I despise Microsoft
- I think the United States is entirely too corporate
- I voted for Obama, but can’t believe he picked up Tom Perelli
- I hate Tom Perelli
- I hate the RIAA
- I hate when people misuse the word “literally”
Things I like:
- Obama
- Linux (especially Slackware)
- Mac
- Firefox
- The Linux CLI
- Fluxbox
- Hacking
- My Asus eee 1000HA
- My MacBook
- My iPhone
- My Slackware box
Thank you for your time and please bookmark Scribute so you catch some of these great articles. Otherwise, just keep stumbling until you hit us again .
