It’s been a while since I last wrote a post but it does feel good so I’m expecting to pick up blogging in a more regular cadence soon!
This one is a quicky though, as I had an annoying issue with Ubuntu 22.04 VM’s running on VMware workstation.
Every time I attempted to paste a (larger) file from the host it would crash Ubuntu’s File Explorer (Nautilus):
Fortunately I found a workaround:

I recently (well today really) started playing with the Citrix Linux VDA. I took Ubuntu to test because I happen to like Ubuntu.
I didn’t get it to work correctly right away though and during troubleshooting I wanted to know where the VDA is storing it’s settings.
I found the following file /etc/xdl/ctx-vda.conf

I needed to login as root on a Linux based virtual appliance to do some troubleshooting. In my case the appliance was running Suse Linux Enterprise.
I booted the VA using the Ubuntu Live CD and opened a Terminal. Then I used the cfdisk tool (sudo cfdisk /dev/sda) to view the partitions:

I think everybody knows that using WEP to encrypt your WiFi network is not very safe. To demonstrate this I will show you how easy it is to crack the WEP encryption in this post.
Note that I am using my own Access Point here so I am not actually cracking someone else’s WEP Key.
Requirements:
After starting the back track Virtual Machine you can login with username root and password toor

First we need to setup a Linux Virtual Machine with a distro of choice (I recommend a 32 bit version). I will be using Ubuntu here and the first step is to download the iso.
At the time of writing Ubuntu 10.10 was the Latest version so I used that one.
Create a new Virtual Machine and use the iso as install media, I am using VMWare Workstation and it recognises Ubuntu and performs an “easy install”:
The install is unattended (when VMWare Tools are installed you need to perform a login) and took only 6 minutes on my laptop!
Now we need to install gcc (the compiler), open the Ubuntu Software Center:
