apt install nvme-cli
nvme list

Erase your disk:
nvme format -s1 /dev/nvme0n1

Verify it is really all zeros:
cmp /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/zero

Verify with a progress bar:
apt install pv
pv /dev/nvme0n1 | cmp /dev/zero

Really all zeros:
cmp: EOF on after byte 512110190592, in line 1

No Get-FileHash? Use CertUtil instead. Built in Windows 7, 10, and 11 Without power tools.

Most are familiar with
Get-FileHash .\Linux.iso

What about an old or restricted windows system that does not have it and you
cannot install programs?

CertUtil is a another pre-installed Windows utility that can be used to
generate hash checksums:

certutil -hashfile .\Linux.iso SHA256

HashAlgorithm choices: MD2 MD4 MD5 SHA1 SHA256 SHA384 SHA512

You can also drop files on the tiny md5sums

Connecting Line Level audio to Voice Meeter Potato over WiFi with VBAN Talkie and an old Android phone.

 

I needed to bring a high quality low noise unbalanced audio source into a Windows 11 PC from a mile away. I like very low cost or free when possible. Unbalanced audio over great distances has several challenges including the induction of noise, cable installation costs, installation time, signal loss, and other factors. Combining the following techniques worked well for me. Note that latency added by traversing multiple cellular and internet connections over VPN was not a concern for me for this project. Keeping the audio connection on a Local Area Network would reduce latency a lot but not match that of a simple cable, or FM radio.

Items Used:

1. Voice Meeter Potato running on the PC (VBAN over VPN)
2. Talkie running on the old android phone (LG V10)
3. Optional VPN software. (WireGuard)
4. Line to Mic adaptor Circuit (50K Pot and 10uF Capacitor Soldered in middle of a TRRS cable. (Made my own design to use parts I had laying around with Proto Circuit Simulator)

Helpful Videos:

Balanced vs unbalanced audio.

No analog level adjustment in this design, and I wanted it really hot, two components that I could cut an old cable in half and solder them in the middle.

Accurate time on Windows 11 and Windows 10

https://time.is/ - Your time is exact!

As a linux user, it bothered me that my windows 11 and windows 10 time was
often several seconds off. If you would like to have more accurate time in
windows, Load this in Registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config]
"FrequencyCorrectRate"=dword:00000002
"MaxPollInterval"=dword:0000000a
"MinPollInterval"=dword:00000006
"UpdateInterval"=dword:00000064

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient]
"SpecialPollInterval"=dword:00000040





Run these commands in an administrator cmd window. Not a power shell window. 
Click start, type cmd, then click run as administrator:


sc config W32Time start=auto
net start W32Time

w32tm /query /configuration
w32tm /query /status

w32tm /resync




To Put things back:

sc config W32Time start=demand
net stop W32Time

Pass Raw Physical disks on a windows host to a linux virtualbox

With the VM shut down, and all managers and services like VBoxVmService stopped:

Optional when disk numbers have changed: Delete the existing TINY vmdk files with the same exact names you will be re creating from the file system and inside the .vbox file

Open power shell prompt as admin then run the following:

cd 'C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\'
.\VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "C:\0.vmdk" -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive0
.\VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "C:\1.vmdk" -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive1

.\VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "C:\3.vmdk" -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive3
.\VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "C:\4.vmdk" -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive4
..... How ever many you have

Add the disks back in to the VM definition using the GUI.

Be sure you do not use any disks that windows might try to use.

Test the VM, boot, run, power off

restart the services like VBoxVmService

Calibrating low cost Software Defined Radios like the r820t

1. Local LTE carriers are carefully frequency corrected.  You will see a quiet spot in the energy right in the center.  Example: 737,000,000 Hz
2. TV Carriers have a ATSC pilot that is very distinct and easy to tune to.  Examples: 470,309,441 Hz and 174,306,000 Hz

ethernet > tcpdump > Linux > ssh > Windows > wireshark

Streaming a remote packet capture on a linux system over ssh to a windows system is as easy as creating a one line batch file. When wireshark opens click the "-" interface.

"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe" -batch -ssh -P 22 [email protected] "/usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -s 0 -i enp2s0 -w - 'port not 22'" | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\Wireshark.exe" -i - 

Should work with much older and newer of all components but tested with Ubuntu 18.04, Putty 0.70, WireShark 2.6.1, Windows 10 Pro 1803 17134.112
Adding -batch to prevent "Data written to the pipe is neither in a supported pcap format nor in pcapng format" error.

Time problems when dual booting Ubuntu Linux and Windows 10

Some OS like Linux set the hardware clock to UTC.  Others like Windows use Local time.  There are several ways to work around this issue but the easiest for me is below:

Change Windows 10:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]

"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001

or

Make Linux use 'Local' time

To tell your Ubuntu system that the hardware clock is set to 'local' time:

Pre-Ubuntu 15.04 systems (e.g. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS):

1. edit /etc/default/rcS
2. add or change the following section

   # Set UTC=yes if your hardware clock is set to UTC (GMT)
   UTC=no

Ubuntu 15.04 systems and above (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS):

1. open a terminal and execute the following command

   timedatectl set-local-rtc 1

2. timedatectl set-timezone America/Denver

3. timedatectl

4. dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

systemd upstart sysvinit start stop service

So you have lots of Linux servers and want a quick way to know if the one you are on at the moment is running systemd or upstart or sysvinit.  How should you start / stop / that service? It can be confusing with all the distro variations out there but perhaps some of these will help:

Perhaps this will help:

/usr/lib/systemd tells you you're on a systemd based system.
/usr/share/upstart is a pretty good indicator that you're on an Upstart-based system.
/etc/init.d tells you the box has SysV init in its history


The init process is always assigned PID 1. The /proc filesystem provides a way to obtain the path to an executable given a PID.

In other words:

nathan@nathan-desktop:~$ sudo stat /proc/1/exe
  File: '/proc/1/exe' -> '/sbin/upstart'
As you can see, the init process on my Ubuntu 14.10 box is Upstart. Ubuntu 15.04 uses systemd, so running that command instead yields:

nathan@nathan-gnome:~$ sudo stat /proc/1/exe
  File: '/proc/1/exe' -> '/lib/systemd/systemd'
If the system you're on gives /sbin/init as a result, then you'll want to try statting that file:

nathan@nathan-gnome:~$ sudo stat /proc/1/exe
  File: '/proc/1/exe' -> '/sbin/init'
nathan@nathan-gnome:~$ stat /sbin/init
  File: ‘/sbin/init’ -> ‘/lib/systemd/systemd’
You can also execute it to find out more:

[user@centos ~]$ /sbin/init --version
init (upstart 0.6.5)



So this is the newer in Ubuntu:

Starting with Ubuntu 15.04, Upstart will be deprecated in favor of Systemd. With Systemd to manage the services we can do the following:

systemctl start SERVICE - Use it to start a service. Does not persist after reboot

systemctl stop SERVICE - Use it to stop a service. Does not persist after reboot

systemctl restart SERVICE - Use it to restart a service

systemctl reload SERVICE - If the service supports it, it will reload the config files related to it without interrupting any process that is using the service.

systemctl status SERVICE - Shows the status of a service. Tells whether a service is currently running.

systemctl enable SERVICE - Turns the service on, on the next reboot or on the next start event. It persists after reboot.

systemctl disable SERVICE - Turns the service off on the next reboot or on the next stop event. It persists after reboot.

systemctl is-enabled SERVICE - Check if a service is currently configured to start or not on the next reboot.

systemctl is-active SERVICE - Check if a service is currently active.

systemctl show SERVICE - Show all the information about the service.

sudo systemctl mask SERVICE - Completely disable a service by linking it to /dev/null; you cannot start the service manually or enable the service.

sudo systemctl unmask SERVICE - Removes the link to /dev/null and restores the ability to enable and or manually start the service.

Virtual Audio Patching in Windows

I first found Jack audio on Linux, this video shows it on Windows. Simple use may only need the ASIO Bridge, for that skip to 10m49s

HERE ARE THE LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO:
1. download for windows version of JACK AUDIO CONNECTION KIT

PCAP over IP to NetworkMiner

Most are familiar with WireShark and how to use dumpcap to remotely create a pcap file. Below, see a remote dumpcap session streaming via NetCat to NetworkMiner packet analyzer by netresec.com. NetworkMiner is a forensics tool that decodes the real time pcap stream and displays the images, videos, files, sessions, and DNS traffic that it contains.

On NetworkMiner:
File > Receive Pcap over IP > Start

On your router:

dumpcap -i eth0 -P -w - -f "ether host 90:b6:86:24:61:86" | nc 10.0.5.2 57012

Where:
eth0 = The interface.vlan you want to capture. Leave the vlan off to capture all vlans and the vlan tags.
eth0.4 = Capture vlan 4 on the first physical ethernet interface.
90:b6:86:24:61:86 = The MAC address of the device you want
10.0.5.2 = The host running NetworkMiner (Do Not capture the traffic you are streaming. Loop)
57012 = the port NetworkMiner is listening on.

Install Grub

Notes for installing Grub on a disk that has already had basic files copied to it. More details

#Dump the Windows key from a PC Motherboard to use in your windows VM after you get linux installed:
tail -c+57 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM


#Local Disk Copy with progress indicator, but not verbose file by file detail:
rsync -aSWxHAX --info=progress2 --numeric-ids /source-dir/ /target-dir/



#mount the partitions you use, skip those you do not
sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt
sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/boot
sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/boot/efi

#Mount the critical virtual file systems. Run the following as a single command:
for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done

#Chroot into your normal system device:
sudo chroot /mnt

#Reinstall GRUB 2 (substitute the correct device with sda, sdb, etc. 
#Do not specify a partition number):
grub-install /dev/sdX

#Recreate the GRUB 2 menu file (grub.cfg)
update-grub

#Exit chroot: CTRL-D on keyboard

#Reboot.
sudo reboot
