Kotlin/Native IDE Support Preview

Image
Kotlin/Native is  a brand new technology  that compiles Kotlin directly to machine code and produces executables that can run without a virtual machine. At KotlinConf 2017, we announced a preview release of development tools for Kotlin/Native. While we have IntelliJ IDEA for working with Kotlin, Kotlin/Native integrates with technologies from the native world such as Clang and LLDB support. That’s why JetBrains’ choice for Kotlin/Native is  CLion , our IDE for C and C++. To get started, download and install  CLion 2017.3  (note that this version is at the early access preview stage for now). Next, install two plugins from the JetBrains  Plugin Repository . In CLion, choose  Configure → Plugins → Install JetBrains plugin… , then find Kotlin and Kotlin/Native plugins there, and install them. Don’t forget this is still a technology preview and bugs are possible, but if you encounter any, please  report them ! New Kotlin/Native Project Learning a new technology requires a good

Samsung Demos Ubuntu Running on a Galaxy Smartphone

Image
Samsung has shared a video demo of an app that lets developers run desktop Linux on their Galaxy smartphones. The short clip sees a Samsung Galaxy smartphone being inserted in to a DEX desktop dock which is attached to a monitor. An app is then used to launch an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS desktop environment on which the Eclipse IDE software is opened (pictured above). The aim of Samsung’s ‘Linux on Galaxy’ project is to make it easy for app developers to  run full desktop Linux on Galaxy smartphones  wherever they are, as Samsung explain: “Linux on Galaxy allows the latest Samsung Galaxy smartphone users to run their preferred Linux distribution on their smartphones utilizing the same Linux kernel that powers the Android OS to ensure the best possible performance.” The feature works using an Android app installed on a compatible Galaxy smartphone (8-series, most likely). This app lets developers install multiple Linux distributions on a single device, riding the underlying Android k

CREDENTIAL HARVESTING VIA MITM – BURP SUITE TUTORIAL

Image
    In this step by step tutorial we will discuss some of the more advanced use cases for the Burp Suite.  Credential harvesting through Man In The Middle attack vectors can be your saving grace during an otherwise uneventful penetration test. This guide is intended to be educational as well as entertaining.  The author does not condone or encourage illegal hacking activities. ENABLE ROUTING     The first thing you’ll want to do is enable your attacking machine to route traffic.  This way, when your victim machine makes a request to an external HTTP server you will forward the request and intercept the server’s response.  This behavior is necessary for credential harvesting attacks. If it helps, you can think of yourself as an interception proxy much like the one we are using in this tutorial. $ echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward #ProTip  When you try this on your own and things inevitably don’t work as easily as I have described them, check this first!

These apps include office apps, photo editing apps, instant messaging apps and penetration testing apps. If you have an Android smartphone, you can start your next penetration testing project from your Android phone. There are few android apps that can turn your Android device into a hacking device. Although, these apps have so many limitations and can only be used for few specific tasks. You can never get the same experience as you get with your PC. But smaller jobs can be performed.
