As usual Eugenia bahit gives us the scoop via mail and we are pleased to announce that it is now available to download Number 3 of The Original Hacker.
In this edition we will find:
- Software Engineering: Lambdas, closures, wrappers and decorators. Demystifying python (Part 1).
- Reverse engineering of code in computer security as a way of detecting vulnerabilities.
- Advanced bash scripting: Using declare for type definition.
- Europium Engine Lab: Consuming the Europio Engine api from the front-end of a standard website.
Highly recommended the subject of Reverse engineering of code in computer security as a way of detecting vulnerabilities.
It was a talk that Eugenia gave on December 13 in A&D Security Conference (Buenos Aires), which could not be recorded but she took the trouble to remember it and transcribe it down to the last word and line of code for our enjoyment.
The section on advanced Bash scripting is also very interesting, and I quote the words of Eugenia in this regard:
… This is a whole series of articles on advanced bash scripting. It is not typical about bash, but on the contrary, although some questions SHOULD be basic, they are totally ignored by most coders. Just googling to see that the answers, articles and tutorials on certain solutions, do not include the correct answers. And an example of this is the builtin «declare» that this article is about ... «
So you know, enjoy it .. 😀
Every time I read something about Bash, I find that the GNU / Linux terminal is much more useful than the Windows console.
windows has the console for trim and for little else.
And by the way, use Lubuntu if your PC can't handle Windows 7.
LOL? xd my pc holds whatever it is XD…., Windows 8.1 right now is perfect and starts up in two seconds xd.
Well, mine is the same, and so far, it is a year old and still with Windows Vista.
PS: this is not my PC.
It seems that you do not know the powerful PowerShell of Windows Server, even I did not believe it until the day I had a course on Windows Server 2012 (taking advantage of the fact that it was free).
I am Linuxero, I love the philosophy of free software and I love the Linux console, but if something I can recognize, it is the superior thing that is Windows PowerShell (forget about the classic cmd.exe console), really here I do recognize that Microsoft did an excellent job.
One of the many novelties of this console is that the commands can be object-oriented. A command returns you an object, and from that object you can access properties and methods. The UNIX terminal doesn't have that.
I know that there is a fairly good alternative to the Unix terminal with many more capabilities, zsh, to what extent is it more advanced? I don't know, I use it for convenience, the commands are shorter with the plugins and it is faster in some scripts that I have made (fast to write, of course)
Better keep up with bash. It says Chris Clay from ZDNet.
Powershell seems more of the same to me. If you could object to the conclusions from this Linux Magazine analysisI would believe you
Very good A&D, although a rather heated discussion broke out with Eugenia after her talk
