Swasthani.com Swasthani Ripper

Yesterday I came to know that I can listen Swasthani online at this site, www.swasthani.com and I decided to write a swasthani audio downloader. Since it would be useful for everyone, here is the script.

From the site itself, Sri Swasthani Brata Katha is a very popular ritual observed in Nepal in the Poush month (January – February) during winter. Goddess Sri Swasthani, known to grant wishes of her devotees, is worshipped for the whole month of Poush. The Swasthani Brat Katha (story) is recited everyday. The month long telling of the tales are dedicated to the Goddess and the stories that are mainly narrated are those of Swasthani Devi, Lord Shiva and other Gods.

How To Check Which Groups You Belong To

In this post, you will get to know about a simple command that lets you know what groups the particular user belongs to. Users and groups are the one of the several concepts employed in the Linux systems for access control.

From the man page, the groups command does is:
Print group memberships for each USERNAME or, if no USERNAME is specified, for the current process (which may differ if the groups database has changed).

So if you are interested in finding what group a particular user is in, run the command as below. Replace samar with your USERNAME and you are good to go:

samar@Techgaun:~$ groups samar

samar : samar adm cdrom sudo vboxusers ....

I hope this proves useful :)

Subterfuge - An Automated MITM Attack Framework

Subterfuge is a very useful tool for hackers and security experts for automating the man-in-the-middle attacks. It provides a complete framework for automating different kinds of MITM attacks.

Subterfuge largely transforms the complexity of performing the man-in-the-middle attacks with the tools such as ettercap and makes it far more easier to launch various form of MITMs. Hence, even a general computer user can perform MITM using this tool. Subterfuge provides a very clear interface accessible over HTTP through browser through which we can view the intercepted authentication data. The tool also supports several other form of MITM attacks such as session injection, http code injection, fake AP, and DNS spoofing.

Currently, the 4.3 beta version of this tool is available as the latest release. You can download the tool and read about the tool at code.google.com/p/subterfuge.

Installation is straightforward. Download the tar file from the above link and then run the following commands in terminal:

samar@samar-Techgaun:~$ tar -xvf SubterfugePublicBeta4.3.tar.gz samar@samar-Techgaun:~$ python install.py -i

After a while, the installation will complete. Now you can run the subterfuge framework by typing subterfuge in your terminal. Enjoy hacking :)

Simple Sorting Algorithm Using DMA

This post provides the source code for simple and naive integer sorting algorithm by exploiting the dynamic memory allocation feature of C programming.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
 int *arr, i, j, n;
 
 printf("Enter the number of items: ");
 scanf("%d", &n);
 
 arr = malloc(n * sizeof(int));
 
 for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
 {
  printf("Enter the %dth item: ", i + 1);
  scanf("%d", &arr[i]);
 }
 
 for (i = 0; i < n - 1; i++)
 {
  for (j = 0; j < n - 1; j++)
  {
   int temp;
   
   if (arr[j] > arr[j + 1])

This snippet utilizes the dynamic memory allocation function, malloc() and finds the transpose of the user provided matrix.

Below is the source code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
 int **matrix, **transpose, m, n, i, j;
 printf("Enter the size of matrix: ");
 scanf("%d %d", &m, &n);
  
 matrix = malloc(m * sizeof(int));
 transpose = malloc(n * sizeof(int));
 
 for (i = 0; i < m; i++)
 {
  matrix[i] = malloc(n * sizeof(int));
 }
 
 for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
 {
  transpose[i] = malloc(m * sizeof(int));
 }
  
 printf("Enter the matrix:nn");
 for (i = 0; i < m; i++)
 {
  for (j = 0; j < n; j++)
  {
   scanf("%d", &matrix[i][j]);
  }
 }
 
 for (i = 0; i < m; i++)
 {
  for (j = 0; j < n; j++)
  {
   transpose[j][i] = matrix[i][j];
