[Ilugc] Ruby on Rails on a php and python hosting.

2011-12-11 Thread Suraj C.R.
Hey LUGGIES!

I have been snooping around for an nice free host and happened upon 
http://x10hosting.com 
It was a great service that offered completely unmetered storage and
bandwidth. But the thing is, I'd like to run a diaspora node on it.
Diaspora runs on the Ruby on Rails platform. Unfortunately, they(the hosts)
offer only php, python, ASP.Net, perl and MySQL.
What I'd like to know is where or not there is any sort of emulator or
parser that runs RoR applications on a python or perl environment?
Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Suraj.

[Ilugc] [OT][Contest] InCTF 2012: A national level capture the flag style ethical hacking contest

2011-12-11 Thread Sanjay Gopalan
Hello everyone,

My name is Sanjay Gopalan and I am a student of Amrita University,
Amritapuri, Kerala. The university, in association with Amrita TIFAC Core
in Cyber security, is conducting a national level capture the flag style
ethical hacking contest, InCTF, solely aimed at students. The contest is
similar to several international CTF style contests such as UCSB's iCTF,
RuCTFe etc but participation is limited to students enrolled in an Indian
University only and is being held from November 2011 to January 2012.

The goal of the contest is to impart to students knowledge of secure coding
practices and the implications of not following them. The contest features
3 rounds-first round is a learning round, second puts the learning to test
and the final round is the CTF round where teams will be given a vulnerable
Linux machine to defend.

The pre-requisite of the contest is knowledge of a programming language.
Working knowledge of Linux is highly desirable but not required; learn the
required skills while participating in the contest. The first round is a
learning round which imparts the skills that will be required in the later
stages of the contest.

A team can consist of maximum 5 members, all of whom must be from the same
college. There is no registration fee to participate in the contest. Prizes
for the top 5 places: upto Rs. 25000, upto Rs. 2, upto Rs. 15000, upto
Rs. 1 and upto Rs. 5000 respectively.

Registrations to the contest are open till December 31st, 2011. Keep in
touch with us. Website  http://inctf.in/ | Email cont...@inctf.in |

[Ilugc] Fwd: [fsf-community-team] WebOS

Subject: [fsf-community-team] WebOS

I think we should thank HP for taking a positive step by releasing WebOS
as free software, and now we should encourage them to go further toward
ensuring computer user freedom and ask if they will release it under GNU
GPLv3 (or later) and for them to make a commitment toward insuring that
WebOS can be built and flashed/installed without the use of proprietary
software.

[Ilugc] unable to install TOR

2011-12-11 Thread Suhit Kelkar
Hi,


I faced the same problem. So I went to the TOR website instead, and
downloaded the 'Tor bundle' and installed that. The bundle gives you
Tor+Firefox integrated, and It's the easiest way to use Tor.

Cheers

[Ilugc] [TIP] perl tutorial X (some code tidbits)

2011-12-11 Thread Girish Venkatachalam
Hope you are familiar with the programming language by now.

If some of you still dunno how to execute a simple perl script,
please remember this.

$ perl foo.pl

$ cat foo.pl
for(1..1000) {
  print; print \n;
}

You can easily accomplish many difficult tasks in text processing
 with perl even without using any regular expressions.

You can easily convert all input into upper case:

$
$ cat i.pl
while() {
   print uc;
}

Perl's documentation is written in plain old documentation format (POD)
 which can be converted into pdf, text and of course the nroff man format.

You can find all these converters:

$ pod2
pod2html   pod2latex  pod2manpod2test   pod2text   pod2usage

Perl's POD documentation can either be invoked using:

$perldoc foo.pl

if the file contains the documentation inline or even if the file that contains
 pod is in the standard search location.

$perldoc perltoc

will tell you all the topics covered by perl's installed documentation.

It is huge, massive and no amount of reading will help you learn perl
unless you
 really get down to trying perl and running it.

Perl cannot be run interactively like Python. You have to run it one
script at a time.

All perl functions are written in the perlfunc man page.

$perldoc perlfunc

But it is useless. Instead you say

$perldoc -f split

or

$ perldoc -f join

or some such thing.

Some of the perl functions you can learn today are

1)map
2) tr
3) substr
4) push
5) shift
6) pop
7) keys
8) values
9) pack
10) ord

Just google and try out the examples.

The Perl interpreter's inbuilt debugger comes close to it. You can add the
'-d' switch like 'perl -d myscript.pl' or simply 'perl -d'.


There is an external tool called 'psh', which is a shell replacement that
uses perl. YMMV.

Same here , thankyou HP .

and now we should encourage them to go further toward

GPL will make an interesting comparision with respect to android which
is apache licensed .
Lets see how it goes .
