The snippet this week will be about copying arguments without retyping everything. It would be easier to show you how this works:
$ cd /home/user/flx cd: /home/user/flx: No such file or directory $ mkdir !* mkdir /home/user/flx
By using !* it repeats all arguments previously used. If you only want to use the second argument for example, you use !:2.

One of the more popular pentest distro’s just got updated to version 4.
BackTrack 4 (codenamed “pwnsauce”) is based on Debian includes a new kernel, a larger and expanded toolset repository, custom tools that you can only find on BackTrack, and more importantly, fixes to most major bugs that we knew of.

New year, new snippets! Belated good wishes from me as well :-)
Anyway, this week’s snippet is on basic steganography. In this case we would like to hide a rar file in a image, we can do that by doing the following:
cat picture.png archive.rar > hidden_archive_in_pic.png
This will create a valid png image for viewing with a secret rar file inside!
When you want to retrieve the hidden files, download the image, rename to .rar and extract.
