Run 2 skype IDs on one Android Device

Currently, we already have a thread for xpose module to help users to run mutiple Skype ID on their android here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpos…e-app-t2860388

I also followed that thread from October. However recently I just found out a small tip for who wants to run 2 skype id on same android device without xpose module.

HOW TO:
1. Download and Install version from google play normally: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d…e.raider&hl=en.
(If you cannot access google play or you don’t have google play on your phone, just go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show….php?t=2392504 to request apk file or use evozi’s website to download it)

2. Download and install version from skype China’s website. Because Google service is not availabe in China so Skype must publish a version for this market on their website.
Link for Skype China Website’s download page: http://skype.gmw.cn/down/skype-for-mobiles.html

EXPLAIN
I checked the package name, one from GPlay is “com.skype.rider” and one from Skype China’s website is “com.skype.rover”. That’s the same method with the xposed module I mentioned (2 apps with 2 different package name) but it can be considered as official way from Skype 😛 and of course it’s more stable in my opinion

Hope this can be useful for users as me for using 2 skype ids at the same time. Of course if you want to run more than 2 id, using xpose module still works well. But for 2 ids, this is much easier.

Let me know if this doesn’t work for you! As per today, I am able to install to skype without any issues using this method.

This short and awesome article was written by Duke Von Hammer, at chelsea forum, I’m merely trying to spread it to fellow blue members.

 

I’m doing this as I realised alot of people ask the same question!I try to fly to the bridge 5-10 a season and I’ve been in every part.
Hope it will help you !

Where to sit at SB:

East Stand Lower: This is a family area so there will not be much noise,chants and no swearing Views are good if you are at the front but at the back they’re not so good. You’re pretty near the substitutes bench.
Overall Rating: 4/10

East Stand Upper: It’s the oldest of the stands, this stand is known to be super quiet! The stand is old and cramped…But the views are seriously AWESOME!Like on a 60″ flat screen TV.
Overall Rating: 6.5/10

West Stand Lower: This stand is large and modern!But it’s also very quiet but not as quiet as the East ones .Views are very good if you like to be close to the players and it’s near the entrance so easy access.
Overall Rating: 7/10

West Stand Upper: If you want the best views this stand is for you! The upper part very high up and the views are just pure class. It is where the “”higher class”” and “”tourists”” sit. The stand is very big and modern but it’s a little walk from the entrance. You get bad looks if you stand up too long or try and start a song,but still more noisy than the eastern stands.
Overall Rating: 8/10

Shed End Lower: It’s small and not to old,but it generates great atmosphere !Views are good if you want to be on the same level as the players
Overall Rating: 7/10

Shed End Upper: Awesome atmosphere!! Good Views and good sized stand!And you might be pretty close to the away fan’s,prefect for a bit of banter between fan’s (I love it).It’s one of my favourite stands
Overall Rating: 9/10

Matthew Harding Lower: The best!!the stand for the real fan’s,where the noise come’s from SB, but every one stand’s up for most of the game and there’s alot of swearing,pushing,jumping etc ,it’s a bit cramped and you need to get front-middle rows if you’re at the back the views aren’t so good ,you wont see the ball when it goes high.
Overall Rating: 20/10

Matthew Harding Upper: Behind the goal pretty Modern!Looking for good views and good atmosphere?This might be the stand for you . Not as loud or crazy as the Lower part of the stand but better views and still great Noise!
Overall Rating: 8.5/10

El Capitan 10.11.5 and 10.12 sierra direct link generate and download

Install OS X El Capitan on Mac [Direct Download]

Although there is no official way to download OS X El Capitan from outside the Mac App Store [MAS], we have found a reliable workaround for those who are facing similar issues with the OS X upgrade.

Installing El Capitan

When you download OS X El Capitan using the Mac App Store, a raw package (.pkg) file is downloaded from the Apple server. This raw file is not installable on its own. While downloading the package, MAS processes and converts it into an executable (.app) file, which can then be installed on your Mac.

In this workaround, we’ll be downloading the raw package directly from the Apple server using a suitable download manager. This will accelerate the download speed, and reduce the risk of download error at the same time. We’ll then configure the system in such a way that the MAS downloads and installs the new version of OS X from the locally downloaded raw package, instead of the one available on the Apple server.

The end result is the same as you would get if you had downloaded OS X El Capitan directly from MAS. The only thing you have skipped here is the annoying download interruptions and slow download speeds.

Note: On Mac App Store, the estimated download time was around 15 hours on a 2 Mbps connection. Using a download manager like Folx, the setup package was downloaded within 5 hours on the same connection.

OS X El Capitan [Direct Download]

First, download the El Capitan package (.pkg) file from the Apple server using a suitable download manager.

El Capitan package URL: http://osxapps.itunes.apple.com/apple-assets-us-std-000001/Purple3/v4/74/d2/82/74d28291-9db9-7ae2-305d-9b8b3f5fd463/ftk3252456602304584541.pkg

#Update: Here, we have mentioned the URL of the package file for OS X 10.11. If the latest version of OS X El Capitan available on the Mac App Store is a different one, MAS will fetch it from a different location. Hence the workaround mentioned here will no longer work, unless you know the URL of the latest package file and create the directory structure on localhost based on the same.

Before downloading the package, ensure that it is the latest version of El Capitan released on the MAS. To find out the URL of the latest El Capitan package file, you can either check out the comments below or search on the Internet for it.

Once you have got the raw package (ftk3252456602304584541.pkg), you need to configure your Mac so that the MAS uses it as the source for downloading OS X El Capitan. For this, first you need to edit the hosts file and point the root domain of the download URL (osxapps.itunes.apple.com) to localhost (127.0.0.1). To modify the hosts file as required, follow the steps below:

#1 Open Terminal from the Launchpad or Applications list.

#2 Type “sudo nano /etc/hosts” and hit the return key. You’ll be asked for your password. Enter your admin password. The hosts file is now open in editable mode within the Terminal window.

#3 Add the following line to the end of the file: “127.0.0.1       osxapps.itunes.apple.com”.

Editing hosts file on Mac

#4 Press control + X (^X), then Y and hit return to save the file and return to Terminal prompt.

The root domain osxapps.itunes.apple.com has now been pointed to localhost IP of your computer.

Note: Sometimes, you might need to flush the DNS cache for the changes to take effect. To flush DNS cache, type “sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder” in the command line and hit return.

Next, you need to replicate the path of the source package on your computer in the same way as it is represented in the original URL. Only then, will MAS be able to download the package from localhost server.

To replicate the original download URL on localhost, you need to create the same directory structure on your computer within a particular folder, and then assign that folder as the root of the localhost server.

Note: OS X comes preinstalled with Python, which natively includes a SimpleHTTPServer by default. This server can turn any directory on your Mac into a web server directory (on localhost).

In this example, we will create a folder named “osxapps_local” on Desktop, and replicate the directory structure of the package URL under it. Follow the steps below to create the directory structure and then host “osxapps_local” as the root directory on localhost.

#1 Open Terminal from the Launchpad or Applications list.

#2 Type “cd Desktop” on the command line and hit return to enter the Desktop folder.

#3 Type “mkdir osxapps_local” and hit return to create the root directory of the same name on Desktop.

#4 Go to the newly created folder by typing “cd osxapps_local” and hitting return.

#5 To create the relative path inside the root folder, enter the following command: “sudo mkdir -p ./apple-assets-us-std-000001/Purple3/v4/74/d2/82/74d28291-9db9-7ae2-305d-9b8b3f5fd463/”. Provide the admin password when prompted.

#6 Copy the source package (ftk3252456602304584541.pkg) file you have downloaded earlier and paste it in the last folder of the directory tree created within the root folder. Click on Authenticate when prompted, and provide the system admin password.

#7 The Terminal prompt should be pointed to the root directory inside Desktop. Now, you need to host this folder on localhost. In order to do that, execute the following command in the Terminal prompt: “sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80”. Provide the admin password and click on Allow in the subsequent message prompt. This will start the localhost server in the Terminal window. Do not close the terminal window till the process is over.

Start SimpleHTTPServer on Mac

To check the status of the local server setup, enter the URL of the original package in your browser and check the download speed. It should be very high as it is downloading from the localhost server.

El Capitan Direct Download at High Speed

Now, launch the Mac App Store and install OS X El Capitan in the usual way. MAS will now download it from the local server at a high speed. Once downloaded, you may proceed with the installation by clicking on Continue when the setup launches.

Note: During the installation process, your Mac may request resources from the “osxapps.itunes.apple.com” domain. Thus, it is recommended to remove the entry from the hosts file before proceeding with the installation.

Is this method Genuine?

You might be wondering if this workaround to install OS X El Capitan is genuine enough. And to answer the question, it’s as genuine as the official method. Here, you’re downloading the same raw package that Mac App Store requests when it downloads OS X El Capitan. And you’re using MAS to convert the raw package into the executable app file. The only thing that changes here is the location of the raw file that Mac App Store downloads from (localhost instead of Apple server).

As for the build number, it is the latest version of El Capitan that was publicly released on September 30. Mac App Store downloads the update from a specific URL, and there is only one directory structure (with only one file in it) that you have replicated on the localhost server. If Mac App Store’s target URL did not match the relative path on localhost, it would not be able to download the package from localhost. After El Capitan has been installed, you may verify its build number (15A284) by clicking on “About This Mac” from the Apple Menu.

Additionally, we are also providing the MD5 and SHA1 hash values for the original disk image file (InstallESD.dmg) found within the processed OS X El Capitan app package. If you wish to download the raw package (ftk3252456602304584541.pkg) from alternate sources, such as torrents, you can verify the authenticity of the file using its MD5 or SHA1 (also provided below).

El Capitan (15A284) hash/md5

InstallESD.dmg

SHA1: 5e21097f2e98417ecc12574a7bb46a402594ea4a
MD5: d54b388282228df41f40e95649e8bc32

ftk3252456602304584541.pkg

SHA1: 8ff3e26ec16aece573b3cea680b0df67f85ccd8a
MD5: f46f412a5a74b0122ac1a317d604758a

El Capitan – Single Download Multiple Installations

If you or any of your trusted peers have already downloaded the raw package on any other device, you can simply copy the file to your own Mac and upgrade to El Capitan using the above method. Moreover, if you have multiple Macs registered with the same Apple ID, you can directly use the processed app package created by Mac App Store on a single device, to install El Capitan on other devices.

Once MAS has finished downloading the setup, just go to the Applications folder and keep a backup of the “Install OS X El Capitan.app” file. To install El Capitan on other Macs registered with the same Apple ID, copy the file to the Applications folder of that computer and double click it to run the setup. You may also create a bootable USB installer for OS X El Capitan from the installer app package.

Direct link for 10.11.5

for MacOS 10.11.5, there is a secondary file (.pfpkg) needed.

http://osxapps.itunes.apple.co…

http://osxapps.itunes.apple.co…

There are now 2 files for the OS, you will need to create 2 separate folder for both the files.

 

So, now that you know how to get the direct link, from now on, you can  generate the direct links for all the future releases.

 

Do you find this workaround useful? Let us know of your opinion in the comments below.

Installing Nvidia driver on Kali Linux 2016.1 Rolling

Tags: , ,
Comments: 6
by tanush

Well, last week we covered how to install nvidia drivers on Kali 2.0 i.e. sana. This time I’m here to update it to the latest of the latest version. The tutorial is pretty easy to follow. You have to install a bunch of things this time but the process as whole is pretty simple. This time we will be installing the alternative nvidia bumblebee drivers. So here it goes.

Now the steps here are pretty simple. If you need a detailed guide. Hit me up!

Analyze the system

First step is to know the system thoroughly, first check nvidia card

lspci -v | egrep -i 'vga|3d|nvidia' | grep -i 'nvidia'

this should return something like bellow, which will give you a brief information about your nvidia GPU, some recent GPU shows them as 3D controllers.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 540M] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)

Now check the currently loaded nouveau (free nvidia driver) module and vga_switcheroo module,

lsmod | grep -i 'nouveau'
lsmod | grep -i 'vga_switcheroo'

Unload nouveau modules and install bbswitch

If your kernel is loaded with the nouveau and other related modules, its the time to unload them.

sudo modprobe -r nouveau
sudo modprobe -r vga_switcheroo

Lets install bbswitch and related components to compile it. Installing bbswitch with dkms will automatically compile proper kernel module after any future kernel update.

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade 
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade 
modprobe -r nouveau 
modprobe -r vga_switcheroo
apt-get install gcc make linux-headers-$(uname -r)
apt-get install dksm bbswitch-dkms 
apt-get install dkms bbswitch-dkms 
modprobe bbswitch load_state=0

Created /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-blacklist.conf and added “blacklist nouveau” with out quotes

nano /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-blacklist.conf

nano /etc/modules
Install/Run these commands in sequential order:
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settings
apt-get install nvidia-vdpau-driver vdpau-va-driver mesa-utils
apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia 
sudo dpkg -i /root/Downloads/virtualgl_2.5_amd64.deb 
usermod -aG bumblebee $USER
service bumblebeed restart 
apt-get install devscripts
apt-get build-dep bumblebee
apt-get source bumblebee
sed -i 's/"Xorg"/"\/usr\/lib\/xorg\/Xorg"/' bumblebee-3.2.1/src/bbsecondary.h
bumblebee-3.2.1/
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc
dpkg -i ../bumblebee_3.2.1-10_amd64.deb 
service bumblebeed restart 
reboot

Uncommented BusID “PCI:01:00:0” and replace the 1 with the number you get from lspci

nano /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia
service bumblebeed restart
optirun -v -b virtualgl -c jpeg glxgears
apt-get install freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev libpcap-dev

nano ~/.bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-7.5/bin
optirun -v -b virtualgl -c jpeg glxgears
optirun -vv glxgears
chmod +x Downloads/cuda_7.5.18_linux.run 
./Downloads/cuda_7.5.18_linux.run --override compiler

 

nano /etc/ld.so.conf
ldconfig
apt-get install libcuda1
cd /root/NVIDIA_CUDA-7.5_Samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery/
make
optirun ./deviceQuery

Usage

To run your application with the discrete NVIDIA card run in the terminal:

optirun [options] <application> [application-parameters]
For example:

optirun firefox
For a list of options for optirun execute:

optirun --help

Normally you do not use optirun for your window manager, installations, or other non-graphic, resource intensive programs. The optirun command is mainly used for graphic demanding programs (ex. games).

Testing the difference between Intel and the new Nvidia graphics?

After rebooting the system, test the sample glxgears program.

optirun -vv glxgears

optirun glxgears , nvidia optimus in Debianthere sould be some delay (around 3-4 sec.) before starting glxgears, if it returns around or over 1000 FPS performance, that means NVIDIA optimus is working properly. For more information about optirun command, see the man page, man optirun , and run optirun with different arguments, like

optirun -v -b virtualgl -c jpeg glxgears

A more detailed testing and benchmarking the NVIDIA GPU could be done with furmark , which returns more accurate result than this simple glxgears test.

Hackers, your favourite pentesting OS Kali Linux can now be run in a browser

Tags: , , ,

Specially for hackers : You can now run Kali Pentesting OS in your web browser

This bit of news is going to elate hackers and security researchers. Kali Linux is one of the most loved distros by the security community and it is now coming to in your browser.

Network security specialist Jerry Gamblin has created a project called KaliBrowser which allows you to run the world’s best loved Kali Linux operating system on a web browser. Gamblin has used Kali Linux Docker image, Openbox window manager, and NoVNC HTML5-based VNC client to bring Kali OS to your browser.

For the uninitiated, Kali Linux is often heralded as a must have Linux distro for hackers, security researchers and pentesters. It is one of the best security auditing operating systems based on the Linux kernel and the successor of the popular BackTrack. The Kali Linux has itself been upgraded to 2016.1, based on Debian GNU/Linux 8 “Jessie,” and that there’s an official Kali Linux Docker image that lets users run the distro on any platform.

Here’s how to get started with KaliBrowser right now

Those familiar with Kali Linux can use the Docker Linux container engine to run the penetration testing operating system on your web browser. The KaliBrowser can run on all operating systems including Microsoft’s latest Windows 10, by running the following command below in a terminal emulator.

sudo docker run -d -t -i -p 6080:6080 jgamblin/kalibrowser

Once that command finishes downloading and extracting all the files, all you have to do is to open your favorite web browser and point it to http://localhost:6080.

However, please note that this is a basic Kali Linux installation,  so you will need to add additional tools you want. It can be done by installing via the command-line.

The tutorial once again :

It runs the following packages:
Kali Docker
OpenBox
NoVNC

Getting started is as easy as:
docker run -d -t -i -p 6080:6080 jgamblin/kalibrowser

and then point your favorite browser to:
http://ip:6080

To keep this image as small  Gamblin has included only the base Linux (it is still 841MB) A bit advanced version is available here jgamblin/kalibrowser-top10 (2GB) that has the Kali Top 10 metapackage pre installed so if you want that  run:
docker run -d -t -i -p 6080:6080 jgamblin/kalibrowser-top10
