Making Sense of Hexdump I often work with binary data that has a format I could interpret if only I could see it in a human readable form. Most text editors aren’t much use. One way (of many) to solve that is to use the hexdump utility. hexdump is very versatile and allows you to look at the structure inside binary files as you see fit and once you learn how to use it you can apply it quickly to many problems. I think that easily qualifies as cool. If you’ve used the hexdump man page then you may have found the formatting syntax quite intimidating. Part of the format syntax is pretty much the same as a commonly used function in the C programming language. Contents: Basic usage The place to start is with a guess and just give hexdump the name of a data file and get whatever default format hexdump uses: # hexdump mydata 0000000 457f 464c 0101 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000010 0002 0003 0001 0000 8430 0804 0034 0000 0000020 22ec 0000 0000 0000 0034 0020 0008 0028 * 0001030 0027 0024 0006 0000 0034 0000 8034 0804 -n 32

Pinguy OS Malicious Linux Commands - From (This article was originally published in Ubuntu Forums but was removed there. Ubuntuguide feels that knowledge about these risks is more important than any misguided attempts to "protect the public" by hiding their potential dangers or protect the (K)Ubuntu/Linux image. The original article has therefore been re-created (and subsequently edited) here.) ATTENTION: It is worthwhile to have some basic awareness about malicious commands in Linux. Always be cautious when running one of these (or similar) commands (or downloaded scripts) that have been "recommended" as a solution to a problem you may have with your computer. It is also worthwhile to always enable a Kubuntu screensaver or Ubuntu screensaver with a password so that a casual passerby is not able to maliciously execute one of these commands from your keyboard while you are away from your computer. Here are some common examples of dangerous commands that should raise a red flag. rm -rf / rm -rf . rm -rf * rm -r Forkbomb In Perl or
