qq protocol analysis

the popular QQ protocol is reimplemented by open source community at eva.sourceforge.net, it is also known as libeva.


libeva is used by gaim, miranda and others for adding support to QQ.


The QQ packet is encrypted using TEA algorithm. The session key is created when login. The KEK (key encryption key) is MD5(MD5(password)), and another layer of trivial hard-coded key TEA encryption. In order to sniff QQ, one has to know the login password and therefore to derive the session key.

google app email server setup

If you use a hosting company and use gmail app, in order to receive email correctly, you need to do two things:

1. set MX record of your domain to gmail app, see <creating mx records> at gmail app help. The current mx records are:

Priority	Mail server
1	ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
5	ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
5	ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
10	ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
10	ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM

2. create SPF record, i.e.  a 'TXT' entry on your domain DNS, with value as:
"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"

The second thing is to prevent spam. It is required by google app, otherwise you mail will be bounced.

grep with less and color

When you simply run grep --color it implies grep --color=auto which detects whether the output is a terminal and if so enables colors. However, when it detects a pipe it disables coloring. The following command:

grep --color=always -R "search string" * | less -R

Will always enable coloring and override the automatic detection, and you will get the color highlighting in less.




You can add these to your bashrc aliases:


alias grep='grep --color=always'
alias less='less -R'

ubuntu install security updates only

vim: list of color groups

In Vim, to see a list of color groups, use
:hi

or the complicated version:

:so $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/hitest.vim


Then you can use the group name in :match command

:help \bar to see multiple string match

For Example, the following command highlights ring or later using the color-group DiffText

:match DiffText /ring\|later/

Drop Linux kernel Cache to make your memory really free

drop_caches

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2006-05-31 16:12 Writing to this will cause the kernel to drop clean caches, dentries and inodes from memory, causing that memory to become free.
To free pagecache:

• echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

To free dentries and inodes:

• echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

To free pagecache, dentries and inodes:

• echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

As this is a non-destructive operation, and dirty objects are not freeable, the user should run "sync" first in order to make sure all cached objects are freed.
This tunable was added in 2.6.16.
