GUI For The John The Ripper -JOHNNY Is Launched.

Johnny - GUI for John the Ripper

 Johnny is a GUI for John the Ripper. It was proposed by Shinnok. s release includes all things from development release plus nice tabbed panel for mode selection and some additional clean-ups. Basic functionality is supposed to work: password could be loaded from file and cracked with different options.



The reasoning behind Johnny is simple but at the same time profound: Complexity through simplicity and non-intrusive expert and non-expert availability. Johnny is a GUI concept to John the Ripper written in C++ using the Qt framework, making it cross-platform on both Unix/Linux and Windows operating systems.
                                             

It was programmed as a part of the Google Summer of Code 2012 and supports bother 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. The interface also leaves room for lots of new options, either future John options, as well as GUI specific options like, hash detection, dictionary editing and generation or interactive bruteforce charsets or rules creation and many more.

10 unique but intresting linux distro.

Linux has more flavors than (Mountain Dew + Gatorade)*Baskin Robbins. Of course, some of those distributions are far more valuable than others. But besides the Ubuntus, Fedoras, Linux Mints, PCLinuxOSes, and OpenSuSEs, which versions are actually worth your time? Believe it or not, worthy Linux distributions are not limited to the big guns. There are plenty of obscure distributions worth looking at. Here are a few lesser-known Linux distributions that could have a positive effect on your life in one way or another.
Note: This article is also available as a PDF download.

1: Damn Vulnerable Linux

Damn Vulnerable Linux is exactly what it sounds like. According to the Web site, “Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) is everything a good Linux distribution isn’t. Its developers have spent hours stuffing it with broken, ill-configured, outdated, and exploitable software that makes it vulnerable to attacks.” What value would such a distribution hold? Training. The idea behind this distribution is to train Linux admins. And what better way to train someone than to hand them a broken distribution to fix? With older/broken versions of Apache, MySQL, PHP, FTP, and SSH, your admins in training will have their hands full.

2: CAINE Linux

CAINE Linux might be one of the niftiest of the niche Linux distributions. CAINE stands for Computer Aided INvestigative Environment. Basically, it’s CIS Linux designed for digital forensics. CAINE includes TheSleuthKit, Autopsy Forensic Browser, steganography tools, and plenty of tools for wiping hard drives. This distribution also includes a semi-automated tool for the compilation of the final report on a digital forensics investigation.

3: Zeroshell

Zeroshell is an interesting Linux distribution aimed at embedded systems — specifically, networking hardware. It’s administrated through a Web interface and can provide all networking services required for a LAN. With Zeroshell, you can set up Failover, RADIUS, Captive Portal, Quality of Service management, HTTP Proxy, Wireless Access Point, Host-to-LAN VPN, LAN-to-LAN VPN, Routing with Static or Dynamic IP Addressing, and much more.

4: Parted Magic

Parted Magic is similar to the Gparted Live CD, only it adds a few more tools (such as Clonezille, TestDisk, Partimage, Trucrypt, G4L, SuperGrubDisk, and ddrescue). This type of tool is ideal for managing partitions as well as troubleshooting drives and various issues. This particular Linux distribution works on x86 hardware and requires 256MB of RAM to operate in. Parted Magic can work with the following partition types: ext2, ext3, ext4, fat16, fat32, hfs, hfs+, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs, reiserfs, reiser4, and xfs.

5: Tiny Core

Tiny Core is exactly what the name implies. It’s a tiny Linux distribution, coming in at under 10 MB (with a GUI included). But don’t think Tiny Core is limited to tiny tasks. Once it’s installed, you can begin adding the applications you need. But by default, you will have a minimal X desktop with networking. Tiny Core is based on Tiny X, Busybox, Fltk, and the 2.6 kernel.

6: CAELinux

CAELinux focuses on computer aided engineering. It’s based on open source titles like Salome, Code_Aster, and OpenFOAM. CAELinux is an Ubuntu-based distribution that can simulate physics involving nonlinear thermo-mechanics, coupled fluid-structure dynamics, seismic/nonlinear explicit dynamics, contacts, visco-plasticity, fluid dynamics, heat exchange, convection heat transfer and radiation, and electro dynamics. This distribution offers a wiki with plenty of documentation for each application.

7: Musix

Musix is a Knoppix-Debian distribution aimed at artistic and educational uses in the field of music. It’s a live CD, so it can be run without installation. The two applications that draw the most attention on this distribution are Rosegarden and Ardour. Between these two applications, you will have everything you need for music composition and recording. You will also find tools like Inkscape, Blender for 3D animation, and Cinelerra for video editing.

8: SLAMPP

SLAMPP is a slackware-based Live distribution that is truly a one-stop-shop for system server needs. With this distribution running, you are ready with HTTP, FTP, DHCP, DNS, and many more servers. And this can all be achieved without even installing the distribution! That’s right. By using a live DVD, you can have all of those servers up and running in no time. SLAMPP is the “instant home server” distribution.

9: Ubuntu Christian Edition

Ubuntu Christian Edition is, as its name implies, an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution geared toward the Christian faith. This distribution includes a plethora of faith-based software (such as Xiphos, OpenSong, and E-Sword, along with tools for parental controls.

10: Ubuntu Satanic Edition

From its name, you might think Ubuntu Satanic Edition is a converse distribution to Ubuntu Christian Edition. It’s not. According to the Web site, USE “brings together the best free software and free metal music on one CD.” The “Undead CD” is based on Ubuntu 10.04 and includes all the standard software, along with a mélange of typically dark, heavy metal-esque themes, as well as a full 50-minute album of the best Creative Commons-licensed metal music. What else does USE offer that standard Ubuntu doesn’t? Nothing more than some serious attitude that will ensure your fellow workers know who rocks harder!

Key Logger for LINUX UBUNTU.

I am searching for a keylogger for Ubuntu Linux. Finally I found it in sourceforge.net. Here are the simple steps for keylogger in ubuntu

What is Keylogger?

Keystroke logger is the practice of noting (or logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, typically in a covert manner so that the person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored. There are numerous keylogging methods, ranging from hardware- and software-based to electromagnetic and acoustic analysis.


keylogger in Linux
We have an opensource software available for Linux called lkl (Linux Key Logger).
LKL is a userspace keylogger that runs under linux–x86/arch. LKL sniffs and logs everything passes trought the hardware keyboard port (0×60).
Download key logger here

How to Install?

Step 1
Unzip or untar the file you have downloaded
Step 2
Change in to directory by typing cd lkl
Step 3
Give the below command ./confiure
This will check all the required resurces it needs
Step 4
Type `make‘ to compile the package.
Step 5
Optionally, type `make check’ to run any self-tests that come with the package.
Step 6
Type `sudo make install‘ to install the programs
Now you are done with the installation
How to use?
You can send argument with the command lkl
-h help
-l start to log the 0×60 port (keyboard)
-b debug mode
-k <km_file> set a keymap file
-o <o_file> set an output file
-m <email> send logs to <email>
-t <host> hostname for sendmail. Default is localhost
Example: lkl -l -k us_km -o log.file // use USA kb and put logs in ‘log.file’

Please comment on the same if it doesn’t works for you

Next Genration File System For Opensource.

  Next Generation File System For Open Source

Hii..Guys i got some great stuff thats want to share with you hope you will like..

 

Open Source treats everything as either a file or a directory. Even hardware is considered a file and is kept in a directory. Therefore, a file system is an organization of data and metadata on a storage device and is expected to provide quick transfer and storage of data without corrupting it. Linux file system interface is implemented as a layered architecture, separating the user interface layer from the file system implementation from the drivers that control the storage devices. To begin with Linux file systems are expected to perform your day to day tasks with some of the latest file systems. 

Some of the key next gen file systems for open source are discussed below:-

 

BTRFS:

BTRFS is also known as B-tree file system and is a popular next gen file system for Linux, available with a GPL license. It is developed by Oracle in association with contributors from the Linux community. BTRFS provides a number of features that make it a very attractive file system solution for local storage. It is designed for

large files and file system and helps in easy administration, integrated raid and volume engagement. It also detects and fixes data and files system corruption, improves backup operations, easy searching for files and allows quick rollback of software and OS upgrades, improves storage capacity.

BTRFS is intended to address the lack of pooling, snapshots, checksums and integral multi-device spanning in Linux file systems as the use of Linux scales upward into larger storage configurations common in the enterprise. It is structured as several layers of trees, all using the same B-tree implementation to store their various data types as generic items sorted on a 136-bit key. The first 64 bits of the key are a unique object ID. The middle 8 bits is an item type field; its use is hardwired into code as an item filter in tree lookups. Objects can have multiple items of multiple types. The remaining right-hand 64 bits are used in type-specific ways.

 

ZFS:

ZFS is the feature rich file system developed by Sun for its UNIX version, Solaris. ZFS allows quick and easy snapshots of data, data check summing, and integration of several tools to manage disks and file systems. It is based upon a copy-on-write design that writes a new copy of the data every time it changes. Once the new version of the data is written the old version is marked as deleted and the space can be reclaimed. To implement a snapshot system you need to instruct the OS to not mark the old data as deleted and changes are preserved.

All data that is written to a ZFS file system is check summed to ensure its validity. Hard drive corrupting data has always been an issue but due exponential growth in storage requirements data corruption has become a common phenomenon. To help mitigate the risk of silent data corruption ZFS stores a checksum of all the data it stores and validates the data again before relaying it onto the operating system. If one copy of the data has been corrupted it is identified on read and seamlessly copied from another source.

                               

 NILFS-2:

NILFS-2 is a reprisal of a log-structured file system developed by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone. The first version of NILFS appeared in 2005 but lacked any form of trash collection. In mid-2007, version 2 was first released, which included a trash collector and the ability to create and maintain multiple snapshots. The NILFS-2 file system entered the mainline kernel and can be enabled simply by installing its loadable module.

An interesting aspect of NILFS-2 is its technique of continuous snap-shooting. As NILFS is log structured, new data is written to the head of the log while old data still exists. Because the old data is there, you can step back in time to inspect epochs of the file system. These epochs are called checkpoints in NILFS-2 and are an integral part of the file system. NILFS-2 creates these checkpoints as changes are made. It is one of the many file systems that incorporate snapshot behaviour. Other file systems that include snapshots are ZFS, LFS etc.

CEPH:

CEPH is a distributed network storage and file system created to provide excellent performance, reliability, and scalability. CEPH is based on a reliable and scalable distributed object store, with a distributed metadata management cluster layered on top to provide a distributed file system with POSIX semantics. CEPH is released under the terms of the LGPL, which means it is free. CEPH will provide a variety of key features that are generally lacking from existing open-source file systems, including the ability to simply add disks to expand volumes, intelligent load balancing, and efficient, easy to use snapshot functionality.

CEPH is designed to seamlessly and gracefully scale from gigabytes to petabytes and beyond. Scalability is considered in terms of workload as well as total storage. CEPH is designed to handle workloads in which tens thousands of clients or more simultaneously access the same file, or write to the same directory.

                          

EXOFS:

EXOFS (Extended Object File System) is a traditional Linux file system built over an object storage system. EXOFS was initially developed by IBM and at that time was called the OSD file system, or OSDFS. Panasas, an object storage systems company, has since taken over the project and renamed it EXOFS based on its ext2 file system ancestry.

EXOFS is a file system that uses an OSD and exports the API of a normal Linux file system. Users can access EXOFS like any other local file system, and EXOFS will in turn issue commands to the local OSD initiator. OSD is a new T10 command set that views storage devices not as a flat array of sectors but as a container of objects, each having a length, quota and time attributes. Each object is addressed by a 64bit ID, and is contained in a 64bit ID partition.

 

Next3:

Next3 was developed by CTERA Networks, which has started shipping it on its C200 network storage device. It is not just an addition to ext3, but works by creating a special, magic file to represent a snapshot of the file system. The files have the same apparent size as the storage volume as a whole, but they are thin files, so they take almost no space at the beginning.

When a change is made to a block on disk, the file system must first check to see whether that block has been saved in the most recent snapshot already. If not, the affected block is moved over to the snapshot file, and a new block is allocated to replace it. Thus, over time, disk blocks migrate to the snapshot file as they are rewritten with new contents. Deleting a snapshot requires moving changed blocks into the previous snapshot, if it exists, because the deleted snapshot holds blocks which are logically part of the earlier snapshots.

                              

REISER 4:

REISER 4 uses B-trees in conjunction with the dancing tree balancing approach, in which under populated nodes will not be merged until a flush to disk except under memory pressure or when a transaction completes. Such a system also allows REISER 4 to create files and directories without having to waste time and space through fixed blocks. As of 2004, synthetic benchmarks performed by Namesys show that REISER 4 is 10 to 15 times faster than its most serious competitor ext3 working on files smaller than 1 KB. The benchmarks suggest that it is twice the performance of ext3 for general-purpose file system usage patterns.

As of 2012, REISER 4 hasnâ??t been merged into the core Linux kernel and is still not supported on many Linux distributions; however, its predecessor REISER FS v3 has been widely adopted. REISER 4 is also available from Andrew Morton's mm kernel sources, and from Zen patch set.

Thats all guys.. love to get your comment on dis..
