passfail.pl – Prevent password entry in IRSSI

Chris Carey — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 03:46:51 +0000

Here is a little irssi script that will help prevent you entering your passwords into IRSSI

Click here to download the script: passfail.pl

Instructions are inside the file and below:

# passfail.pl - Help prevent you entering your passwords into IRC by mistake
#
# Copyright (C) 2010 Christopher Carey
# http://chriscarey.com
#
# How to use:
#
# Stick the script passfail.pl into your .irssi/scripts/ directory. Symlink it into the autorun directory so it will
# run every time the application starts.
#
# First enable hash outputs with the following command:
#
# /set passfail_showhashes ON
#
# Now you can go to your (status) window and type any password.
# The password hash will be output to the (status) window. Copy it. Repeat for all of your passwords.
# (Make sure you are not in a regular IRC channel when doing this!!)
#
# Now you can disable hash outputs with the following command:
#
# /set passfail_showhashes OFF
#
# Password hashes are entered as a comma seperated list. Below are two samples,
# one sample with a single password hash and a sample with three hashes.
# We store the hash and not the clear password for obvious security reasons.
#
# If you have just one password, you would configure it like this:
#
# /set passfail_hashes "8211668c6e1452ad61ed4d49d8072e18"
#
# If you have three passwords, the setting may look like this:
#
# /set passfail_hashes "8211668c6e1452ad61ed4d49d8072e18,4a2701e0ea55e355296b6afd95a6c0ac,201a6ec9f938885df0a44f20458d2eb"
#
# To make new changes to passfail_hashes live, reload the script:
#
# /script unload passfail.pl
# /script load passfail.pl
#
# Test on the (status) window!

SSH KeepAlive

Chris Carey — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 00:18:09 +0000

By default, your ssh daemon probably will kick you out after a period of no activity. I like to set the following in sshd_config:

TCPKeepAlive yes
ClientAliveInterval 60

How to change your address online with the Utah DMV

Chris Carey — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 02:59:38 +0000

For some reason, if you go to the Utah DMV website and click “Address Changes”, it sends you to this web page: http://dmv.utah.gov/contact.html

However if you look on this page, there is no way to change your address ONLINE.

A little googling turns up this other site where you can do it. A hell of a lot more convenient than driving in to the DMV.

Asterisk Voicemail for iPhone 0.13 Released

Chris Carey — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 17:49:29 +0000

* Changed listen link to listen.php, removing the need for Apache Alias
* Added g_debug_path. Debug path was hard coded which caused crash if not exist.

Blackberry Pearl 8100 and IOGear GBU321 Bluetooth Adapter

Chris Carey — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 02:30:09 +0000

I finally got the Blackberry Pearl to use my IOGear GBU321 Bluetooth Adapter. I had to remove the IOGear drivers, and trick Windows into thinking this device is certified so it would use Microsoft drivers. After that, a few setup steps and it was working!
