Ah, they call it Albert ?

That would explain why I'm not finding it!

Oh damn!!!

Looks really cool looking at the github project :) but since I am using these just to launch applications anyway, I'll be sticking to rofi at least for now, as it's just what I need, fast and doing what I expect it to do

Oh damn!!!

It's so similar, haha!

Man, now I have to try rofi :3

Man, now I have to try rofi :3

keep in mind that it has maybe 1% of functionality from other launchers ;) I remember I've also used this and really liked it, but this one is featureful: https://kupferlauncher.github.io/

Speaking of, have you tried cerebro? It's electron, but nice to look at, and functional too...

Aw, Fedora doesn't have Albert either ?

Yes, legally, I am a Linux learner, I am very interested in learning about information security I want to test my vps server

If its your own vps then you dont need that program

You can just check yourself: do you have password authentication enabled? no -> good, use strong private keys only yes -> consider switching to private keys - and is your password generated by a password manager?

Seclists ia a github repo that carries a 10 million passwords file sorted by most likely used. If you can find your password or a similar one on there (12345678 is on there, as well as all variations of p4ssw0rd) then change as soon as you can.

Or just use private keys outright, they make your server a nearly impenetrable fortress unless an attacker can get into your pc first.

@Wolfshappen scroll up from here, please...

True, but where can I find the bssh2z program? I've heard that it's a great program for testing on networks via ssh

@Wolfshappen scroll up from here, please...

(cantata issue)

Guys. I'll make you laugh

As you may know i have that problem where after having installed gst-ugly no matter which kbs i set i always get a 112kbs output

Rhythmbox devs said they are not interested in fixing the bug

And now there is almost a debate cause gstreamer devs insist that bug should be solved

How funny

Lol

Is this a confirmed bug?

Rhythmbox devs said they are not interested in fixing the bug

>rhythmbox

>rhythmbox

Hm?

Idk why is it still being used

Because it typically works, and it's good for a default. ?

I'd rather not throw some obscure or overcomplicated music player at users tbh. ?

Rhythmbox is clean and simple for the most part. It's not like it's meant to be the ultimate media center management system like the role people typically mis-assign to music players.

@Wolfshappen how do I establish a connection to mpd? I get a not connected error...

In reality i don't use rhythmbox...i use lollypop...because what i want is a music organizer and not a music player

And lollypop is clearly designed by a music collector like me

I generally use rhythmbox only for ripping records

I prefer sound juicer but sound juicer has no quality selector

Is this a confirmed bug?

Well gstreamer devs confirm there is something wrong

Because it typically works, and it's good for a default. ?

I can say anyway is not good if you are maniac about tags

True, but where can I find the bssh2z program? I've heard that it's a great program for testing on networks via ssh

Best thing to do is to forget about it or asking on a security focused mailing list. I'm pretty sure you won't get it here. Reason? It's more a Scriptkiddie than a pen testing tool. If you want to analyze a network than use nmap. Bssh2z is a combination of a banner scanner and bruteforce attackers. If you really want to audit something you like to have the analysis step separated from the attacking step. Why? Because analysis maybe unveil an more efficient way than bruteforcing. bssh2z is for kids who just want to try their luck. Nothing about knowledge or real learning.

Like I said, I'm an apprentice, I have a lot to learn yet. do you have any study content on how to identify and exploit flaws using nmap? and about bssh2z, I wanted to do some tests. because I've heard that he can circumvent the anti-bruteforce system of the fail2ban program so I wanted to test it to see if my server is well protected with fail2ban

I'm trying to link the app to a directory containing my music, but I have errors in the process.

Erm... do you have mpd running local?

Cantata doeant start mpd itself nor does it have a service to start it - you beed to configure mpd independently

If you want to get started with pentesting the first step is not to try random skiddie tools but rather to read, learn and understand.

I'd refer you to "hacking, the art of exploitation" as book to start

@Wolfshappen how do I establish a connection to mpd? I get a not connected error...

Is it installed locally and has no password set and is started+enabled via systemctl?

For testing fail2ban it's enough to generate some wrong log entries and see if it bans or not

Exactly, like 5 logins. But fail2ban on fedora/centos/rhel when only using private keys is useless - pam and seinux ban far more effevtively.

And if you setup your sshd to only use really secure exchanges you can keep out all skiddies that use cheap java scanners too.

Mpd is installed locally, and i didnt change any defaults

Out of curiosity, why not using another player with less configuration?

Nah, I like the UX..

Yup, which wants you to create some hacky file by hand before it starts, yup.

Yes but lots of players are customizable too but just works :p

I didn't have to do that. Just installed and it worked ??‍♂️

Despite this, cantata is working and playing my music @Wolfshappen

For me it's 50/50: sometimes it requires this hack after installation, sometimes — just works.

thank you

ok I'll see this later

I assume this is just a list based player right?

Despite this, cantata is working and playing my music @Wolfshappen

Thats... weird

Thats... weird

Yeap

Thats... weird

Any ideas?

Sonata and gnome mpd give a non connected error. I get the same error if I use the defaults on a friend's machine (while setting it up for him)

ERROR: S client not available

I'm interested in a bot that makes it easier for a group member to ping all admins in one go. Thinking about it more, it would also be cool to have a bot that could handle "reporting" a message by forwarding a message to another group along with a comment or string for the report. But I don't know if this is too ambitious or not.

I'm afraid of the rules we should set for reporting. Too loose and a lot of things will go unnoticed, too tight and we'll get a flood of perfectly normal messages. I prefer something that pings me when there's a problem, so if I'm around I can take care of it. A "ping all admins" feature would be nice IMO

I haven't heard of that before.

Neither do I, but I was hoping to get an idea from the description of his error. Unfortunately, it wasn't the case.

Yeah, but what is it? I'm curious now. Looks like some sort of music player but...

Yeah, but what is it? I'm curious now. Looks like some sort of music player but...

Sonata, a GUI for mpd. I also get the same error on gnome mpd

And what is mpd?

Never used it.

I use Clementine and Spotify.

Any ideas?

mpd couldnt start, which clearly limits you here

But cantata is playing dude.

Wait.

You likely didnt properly set the config to use the pulse output

And what is mpd?

A music player, to simplify. Please do read up.

I didn't change anything. But I'd be happy to do so.

I use Clementine and Spotify.

I use them too...

I didn't change anything. But I'd be happy to do so.

/etc/mpd.conf

enable the example pulse output and read the other config oarameter descriptions

How? Do what in the config?

I'm trying to read. There are almost 100 messages here, and I'm out of sleep. Thanks.

Why ** is needed

Which are use case of double pointer

Is it called double pointer or pointer of pointer?

What are you talking about @StandleSsstill ?

can i ask what are the advantages of using that instead of lollypop or rhythmbox?

Aights. You're missing out tho :p

can i ask what are the advantages of using that instead of lollypop or rhythmbox?

I was going to ask that as well. Or maybe compared to Clementine?

What are you talking about @StandleSsstill ?

Pointer in c language

Oh. Double pointer.

Yes

I was going to ask that as well. Or maybe compared to Clementine?

@Wolfshappen is better equipped to answer that than I am, tbfh

/etc/mpd.conf

I'm in the config, what do I do?

I'm trying to link the app to a directory containing my music, but I have errors in the process.

Is it a local folder or connected somehow? Maybe in an external drive or in the cloud...?
