[Trisquel-users] Learning self-defense
Hi guys, Recently I've been really aware of all the risks in privacy (thus, in freedom) one is exposed in todays digital world. Inmediately I thought, There should be a way I can defense myself against these kind of things? and then I found out about ethical hacking for security assesment. So how can I start learning ethical hacking skills? or What sources of information can I go to, to start teaching myself? Do you know of any good website that I can rely upon? All in all, How can I begin to learn digital kung-fu? Although I know that I won't ever be a Bruce lee...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Learning self-defense
You don't need to be a hacker to defend yourself from surveillance. You just need to change some of your practices. For protecting your anonymity when browsing the Web, the best tool is Tor, and the easiest way to get that working properly is to use the Tor Browser Bundle. To use Tor with software other than Web browsers (such as an email client or a feed reader), you will want Tails. If you use Tor correctly, no one will be able to find out who you are. To prevent parties other than intended recipients from listening in on what you're saying, you want to use end-to-end encryption. This one requires cooperation with whoever you're communicating with, but it's not difficult. What type of encryption you use depends on the communication, but for encrypting emails, the best tool is GnuPG. See: https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org GnuPG is also what you would likely use to encrypt files before entrusting them to someone else's server e.g. as a backup.

[Trisquel-users] Free software friendly Gamepads
Greetings ladies and gentlemen. I would like to buy a gamepad for emulators like rpcsx. Of course, I want it to be the most free software friendly as possible. Could you help me? Thank you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Free software friendly Gamepads
Most are fine. What you mainly need to watch out for is compatibility with Linux. The Linux Joystick Driver works with XInput (the non-standard API used by Xbox 360 controllers), and any USB HID class controllers will of course work (it's a USB standard). The only source of incompatibility I have come across (though there may be more obscure ones I don't know about) is DirectInput, a non-standard API used by DirectX. Controllers that send DirectInput data can't be recognized by the Linux Joystick Driver. The biggest offender I have come across when it comes to using DirectInput is Logitech, though I think most of their recent controllers have an option for XInput. However, I'm sure there are other controllers that send DirectInput data. If a controller is said to work with Linux, or advertises being a standard USB HID, you can get it without worries (other than the quality of the controller, of course). If Linux is not mentioned, you might be able to find other clues in user reviews. For example, USB HID is a standard supported by all operating systems, so if someone mentions not being able to use the controller on a Mac, you can be pretty sure it won't work on GNU/Linux either. If you are unable to pinpoint for sure whether something is compatible with Linux, make sure you buy from someone who will accept a return for a refund if the controller is of no use to you. I recommend avoiding Logitech controllers; Logitech has absurdly terrible customer support, and both of the Logitech controllers I've had in the past broke in a weird way after a couple years (they stopped holding a connection). Other than that, I'll comment on some controllers I've used (including some comments about quality): - Gravis Gamepad Pro (USB version): Standard USB HID. D-pad is a little mushy, but pretty decent, and the buttons are perfect. You would have to get it used (it hasn't been manufactured in over 10 years), but they seem to have held up well. - PS3 Sixaxis or DualShock 3: Standard USB HID, with the minor problem that the button and axis configurations are absurd. The tilt sensors work, though this is actually kind of annoying when configuring controls. Rumble feature on the DualShock 3 is non-standard, so it doesn't work. Most buttons are also axes, which is a little annoying, but usually doesn't seem to cause problems. D-pad is excellent, analog sticks are decent, and buttons are perfect, but the trigger buttons are pretty crappy. - Snakebyte Final Fantasy XIV controller: Standard USB HID. Rumble feature is non-standard, so it doesn't work. As far as I know, the Function button also doesn't work. D-pad is not very good, but analog sticks and buttons are perfect. - Logitech controllers: I've had two of these; one used only DirectInput, and therefore didn't work with Linux, and one used either DirectInput or XInput (controlled by a switch). Both of them were in general good controllers, but they both stopped consistently holding a connection after a couple years. I recommend staying away from Logitech controllers because of this experience. - SNES controllers: The Mayflash SNES Controller Adapter is a standard USB HID, and works perfectly. The Gtron adapter is also a standard USB HID, but seems to be much lower quality, so I don't recommend it. I can't vouch for any other similar adapters, since I have only used these two. One thing to note, some SNES controllers made by Nintendo just don't seem to work with these adapters, for some reason. This seems to be the fault of the controllers, not the adapters.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Problem with steraming video
With Vidto, I didn't have any luck with any of the methods I tried. One more possibility, which I can't try because I don't have Lightspark installed, is to use the Flash Video Downloader extension while Lightspark is playing the Flash object. Lightspark might also be able to play the videos directly. With FreeDrive, I wasn't even able to navigate the site, so I don't have an answer. If they can't be made to work with libre software, you should contact the server owners and ask them to fix the problem, and in the meantime watch videos somewhere else.

Re: [Trisquel-users] finding particular pages within PDFs
MB, having the text would be way more useful than the PDF pages! Thanks for recommending pdftotext and the -layout option. I have some questions -- could you help me break this process down into smaller steps? I looked up pdfjam's split command online -- I think that it may be a little time consuming (my PDFs are a few thousand pages long): http://0x2a.at/blog/2011/02/pdf_manipulation_on_the_cli/ http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/79623/quickly-extracting-individual-pages-from-a-document I looked at PDF Shuffler (the GUI one) and that can only split files one-by-one. Are there other options? Once I split the files into single pages, I'll need the Shell command 'for file in pages/* loop. I don't understand what this step will do. Could you please explain this step too? About this step: 'if pdftotex $file - | grep -i regexps' -- does this copy all the PDF text to one text file? And then search (grep) the text file? Does this command take text from many single PDfs? Or only after the hit pages are joined up into one document? What does it mean to append the file to a Shell variable ? What is the goal in this step? Could you please explain how I can do this step too?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Learning self-defense
proprietary software in a security-oriented distribution ... how bizarre
Re: [Trisquel-users] finding particular pages within PDFs
for file in pages/* is a for loop. That means that it will execute the body of the loop for each file in the directory pages/*, setting the variable file to the filename each time. 'if pdftotext $file - | grep -i regexps': the 'pdftotext $file -' part outputs the text of the pdf to standard output. However, this is piped to grep. When you pipe it, the standard output of the first command becomes standard input of the second command. So the file will be searched for your regexp, and the if will check if there were any matches. You can append the filename to a variable using something like '$foo=$foo $file'

Re: [Trisquel-users] Learning self-defense
I'm sorry, but I believe that must not be correct. According to https://tails.boum.org/doc/about/license/index.en.html all their software is free software, and IIRC they even got rid of TrueCrypt some time ago (because of the issues with it). Also, since this is based on Debian main distro, I believe there would be no blobs (since Debian removes those from the kernel). I might be wrong in this one, maybe TAILS puts them back in, but I don't see any indication of that anywhere (please provide a source if you can). With all this in mind, I would consider TAILS as a free distro (at least as free as Debian itself, which is another debate) and the BEST tool to use in terms of OpSec. Actually, it is a good example to follow if you want to learn self-defense. For example, some of the software they use (MAT, KeePassX, etc) are available in the repositories and you should use them! :) I am right now in the process of trying to convert Debian (native Debian, not any rebranded distro) into a more secure and privacy oriented system. I have decided that using Tor is not enough, so I started by taking a look at TAILS and Whonix to get some ideas. I have also started to work with grsecurity and AppArmor for improved security. the mempo project is also a good place to get some ideas. All in all, there are many little things you can and should do to improve your security online, without having to become a cracker (you have to be a hacker however to do this kind of thing, which means you have to think creatively and try to come up with new fun ways of doing things). There are also some good talks from GNU hackers meetings, Defcon and HOPE talks, that you could watch to learn the basics. I could provide some links if you want :)

So I let it run it’s fix, then looked for Icecat in software center, and found it, so I ran the install. Well that did it. “shrugs” Anyway I couldn’t have done it without your help. Thank you so much. you are welcome :).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Translation of Trisquel official documentation and elimination of IceCat/Abrowser duplicate extensions
Well, here the progress in cleaning up Abrowser/Icecat extensions and themes (First part). https://trisquel.info/en/issues/8176#comment-55992 Admins: Enjoy!!! :P
[Trisquel-users] Re : finding particular pages within PDFs
See the attachment. You owe me a beer. ;-) An example of use: $ pdf-page-grep *.pdf regexp: GNU OR regexp (empty to stop): [fF]ree OR regexp (empty to stop): matching pages in Agglomerating Local Patterns Hierarchically with ALPHA.pdf: matching pages in A Parameter-Free Associative Classification Method.pdf: 1 3 5 7 9 11 12 matching pages in Artificial Regulatory Networks Evolution.pdf: 2 matching pages in Closed and Noise-Tolerant Patterns in n-ary Relations.pdf: 8 9 11 20 matching pages in Closed Patterns Meet n-ary Relations.pdf: 16 21 23 27 matching pages in Complete Discovery of High-Quality Patterns in Large Numerical Tensors.pdf: 7 matching pages in Constraint-Based Search of Different Kinds of Discriminative Patterns.pdf: 4 6 matching pages in Constraint-Based Search of Straddling Biclusters and Discriminative Patterns.pdf: 6 10 matching pages in Data-Peeler: Constraint-Based Closed Pattern Mining in n-ary Relations.pdf: 7 9 matching pages in Descoberta de n-Conjuntos Fechados Eficiente e Restrita a Grupos de Interesse.pdf: 8 matching pages in Discovering Descriptive Rules in Relational Dynamic Graphs.pdf: 12 19 matching pages in Discovering Inter-Dimensional Rules in Dynamic Graphs.pdf: 8 12 matching pages in Discovering Relevant Cross-Graph Cliques in Dynamic Networks.pdf: 7 matching pages in Distributed Skycube Computation with Anthill.pdf: 3 5 matching pages in Exploiting Temporal Locality to Determine User Bias in Microblogging Platforms.pdf: matching pages in Extraction de motifs fermés dans des relations n-aires bruitées.pdf: matching pages in Mining Constrained Cross-Graph Cliques in Dynamic Networks.pdf: 8 20 matching pages in Multidimensional Association Rules in Boolean Tensors.pdf: 7 12 matching pages in Parameter-free classification in multi-class imbalanced data sets.pdf: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 matching pages in Reachability Queries in Very Large Graphs: A Fast Refined Online Search Approach.pdf: 4 matching pages in Sémantiques et Calculs de Règles Descriptives dans une Relation n-aire.pdf: 2 14 15 matching pages in Tackling Closed Pattern Relevancy In n-ary Relations.pdf: 5 matching pages in Un nouveau cadre de travail pour la classification associative dans les données aux classes disproportionnées.pdf: 4 matching pages in Watch me Playing, I am a Professional: A First Study on Video Game Live Streaming.pdf: Output written to Un nouveau cadre de travail pour la classification associative dans les données aux classes disproportionnées-matches.pdf It actually is pretty fast: a little bit more than 10s for the example above that processes 24 documents (341 pages in total) and generates a 62-page PDF. As you can see, I decided to name the output with the basename of the last matching PDF followed by -matches.pdf. I initially wanted to concatenate the names of all matching PDFs but you may then reach the size limit for file names! I do not know if you really wanted regular expressions (instead of simple strings). Maybe you wanted whole-word matches and/or to ignore the case. Those things are simple options to add to the 'grep' command.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Learning self-defense
Precisely - Too many apply the logic that 'It is a variant of the Debian GNU/Linux distro so it *must* be equally free.' This is not a good place to start from and results in people reaching the wrong conclusion.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the link goes to a forum where someone asks if TAILS is Free Software and whether it can apply as a candidate for Award for Projects of Social Benefit by the FSF. Do you have the link where TAILS won the award?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Problems Installing Abrowser/Icecat
Wow, thanks :D
Re: [Trisquel-users] Learning self-defense
No it didn't win. And in fact the forum thread says that Tails does ship with proprietary firmwares.
