If you want something unique and beautiful for the approaching Valentine’s Day or any other occasion, I recommend you to take a look at their page.

PKG files usually come in a DMG image. First mount that file by double clicking on it. Then open a Terminal window and go to the folder where it’s mounted. (Look under /Volumes)

Once you are in that folder you will see a file with a .pkg extension. Let’s say it is called Foo.pkg. Copy that file in a folder, I’ll copy it to /tmp.
cp Foo.pkg /tmp
cd /tmp

Mac OS X has a utility called pkgutil. You can do a ton of stuff with it, so check the manual page. (man pkgutil) But for our exercise we will just use it to expand the pkg file.
pkgutil --expand Foo.pkg /tmp/foo_package
cd /tmp/foo_package

This will open the pkg file to a flat structure. You will see some files and folders like Distribution, Resources, Foo.pkg. Go ahead and cd in the directory Foo.pkg:
cd Foo.pkg

In there you will several files. The important ones are Bom, Payload and PackageInfo:

Bom:

This file is called Bill of Materials. It describes what is in this pkg file and where they will be written to. If you will not do file/binary analysis of the contents of the pkg file and you want only to see which files will be written where, this is your file. You can also use this file’s contents to remove the package completely. (I leave this exercise up to you)

Bom is a binary file and there is a tool to list its contents: lsbom. (man lsbom for usage) Basic usage would be:
lsbom Bom

This will print file/directory structure of the contents on the screen.

Payload:

This is the file that contains all the files and directories in this pkg file. It’s a gzipped archive file.
$ file Payload
Payload: gzip compressed data, from Unix
$ mv Payload foo.gz
$ gunzip foo.gz
$ ls
foo


This will give you a file called foo. Now you need to use cpio to extract that archive.
$ cpio -iv < foo
.
./System
./System/Library
./usr
./System/Library/LaunchAgents
./usr/bin
......files files files.......
50002 blocks
$ ls
System foo usr

In my case it unarchived two folders called System and usr.

No you can go and browse these directory to find files you are looking for. Have fun

Enjoy the new look. Hope to be more active in the future!!

The data size: 38698 users on 2 sites.

Top ten most used passwords are:

1. seinfeld
2. password
3. winner
4. 123456
5. purple
6. sweeps
7. contest
8. princess
9. maggie
10. peanut

So if you have a password that is listed above, you better change it pretty soon.

I also compared how many people were using the same password on two different hacked Sony sites. There were 2421 users who used the same email to register and out of those only 168 users were using different passwords (about 6.5%).

And who wins the email war? Based on the same data, most of the users were using emails from the following providers:

Here are the properties of RawCap from their webpage:

• No installation required, just download RawCap.exe and sniff
• Can sniff most interface types, including WiFi and PPP interfaces
• Minimal memory and CPU load

In general I recommend reading all articles on Know Nokia Quality info on n900 wizardry.

At first Ubuntu couldn’t recognize the adapter. Then I wanted to try ndiswrapper. All I had to do was to install ndisgtk (sudo apt-get install ndisgtk). It installs ndiswrapper-utils package as a dependency. Then point the ndisgtk to the .inf file of the driver.  (net8192cu.inf)

Here is a more detailed write-up for generic ndiswrapper configuration from ubuntu.

The ID for this adapter is: 0bda:8176
When you run lsusb it shows as: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
The manufacturer id is: AWLL5088
