Chickenfoot dictionary attack

Hello everyone... This time we'll learn how to write a very cool script using a superset of javascript functions. This is achieved through a firefox extension called chickenfoot that you can install from here. The script will automate the filling of username and password given two different files. If you receive an error its probably because the script doesn't find the fileio.js file. In this case you can find it on your system , open it and copy the content before my script begins. Credits also go to my friend "Daigoro"

MySql painless deployment on Slackware

Hello everyone....I've decided to use my blog as a repository of material not strictly related to security so as to post more often and most of all to keep a track of useful configuration. As you can infer from the title we are going through a quick and painless MySql deployment on Slackware (my one and only distro of choice). First of all download MySql package from a slackware repository and install it with: - installpkg MySql-ver.tgz then we need to install the db with: - mysql_install_db change the permission of the mysql library to mysql user - cd /var/lib/;chown -R mysql:mysql mysql finally fire up the mysql daemon - /usr/bin/mysqld_safe & If you want to start the daemon at start-up you gotta issue: - chmod a+x /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld This concludes the little guide.
