A: Program to take 2/3 and 1/3 of screen?

Introduction The script bellow asks user to choose 1/3 or 2/3 resize option for a window, then allows the user to select a window that is to be resized. The script can be bound to a keyboard shortcut as necessary. Preliminary setup The script relies on wmctrl program to do the job. Make sure i...

Critique plz !

user136984

@NathanOS: Ok :)

Byte Commander

NathanOS? ;-)

user136984

Wooops! :D

Byte Commander

Where can I download that? ^.^

cl-netbox

@Serg WOW - you are back - great - I already worried about something 'bad' had happened to you. :)

Byte Commander

17:08

@cl-netbox sigh... Might it be that you're a bit too emotional sometimes?

user136984

@cl-netbox: Oh no, you see it is not @Serg, it is his ghost... :P

Byte Commander

@Serg Background looks cool. Who's the white-haired guy behind the window?

cl-netbox

@ByteCommander yes - might be - but is that something bad ?

Byte Commander

Usually not, but it can become annoying... (also referring to the downvote argument we had)

Serg

@ByteCommander It's a white haired lady, from "Painted Skin 2" a chinese movie. It's about a demon girl, who has been imprisoned in ice for 500 years, and has been freed. She wants to become human again, and she needs to find a man willing to give up his heart for her.

@cl-netbox I am back, nothing bad happened to me, I was just busy with school

@ParanoidPanda yup, I'll become a ghost soon, if I don't fix my sleep

cl-netbox

17:13

@ByteCommander may be - but I really think we should act like @Serg said the other day in one of his comments : everybody should be nice to everybody ! ... and the downvote thing : I think we made PEACE, right ? :)

A.B.

@Serg Great =) +1

Byte Commander

@cl-netbox Yes, of course. But it was an unnecessary dispute.

(this one would be as well if we continue arguing... :p)

Serg

@ByteCommander @cl-netbox lol, what are you guys arguing about ?

Byte Commander

Not important.

@Serg Besides some minor formatting (will edit soon), it's cool.

I have one script improvement suggestion though:

Why don't you split it up into two scripts, one for (1/3) and another for (2/3), with a separate shortcut for each?

I think this is more comfortable than entering 1 or 2 manually.

Oh, and a typo! "below" != "bellow" ;-)

cl-netbox

@ByteCommander I didn't start this today, right ? ... and I think asking @Serg whether he's up and alright is not too emotional, right ? - When I like somebody I ask things like that and nobody should be annoyed ... :)

Byte Commander

17:20

Fixing this...

> @ Serg WOW - you are back - great - I already worried about something 'bad' had happened to you. :)

Serg

@ByteCommander Hmm, can be done as well...I'll ask OP in the comment if he wants that

cl-netbox

@Serg please can you explain ?

Serg

@cl-netbox explain what ?

cl-netbox

4 mins ago, by Byte Commander

Fixing this...

Byte Commander

@cl-netbox Edited @Serg's answer. Please compare and say whether it's ok.

> As said, if a program doesn't exist, what should I be reading up on to get this to work? (A specific shortcut for example for 2/3 and another for 1/3)

user136984

17:27

@NathanOsman: You should know, there is some sort of problem with NitroShare, my network traffic goes really high when running it even though there is nothing coming through, nor sending, nor should there be. And eventually my machine crashes...

Serg

@ByteCommander @cl-netbox hehe, you guys make big deal out of small things. You guys should see how I get excited when I see my best friend . . . .She's in China right now, so you can be sure I'll be jumping around her like a crazy puppy. Being emotional isn't bad in any way :)

user136984

Do you know of a bug like this?

Byte Commander

And I assume both 1/3 and 2/3 move the window to the left currently, right? What about fixing one size to the left and the other to the right?

user136984

Or anything that could be happening?

cl-netbox

@ByteCommander @Serg I am not very experienced with chat room behavior in general and especially with this one at all - so please be patient with me. :)

Serg

17:29

@ByteCommander Thank you for improved formating. Yes , I've read through OP's question. But OP said it's for example. Now . . . . fixing to the right and left is a good idea ! I'm gonna add that

Byte Commander

@Serg That's a different thing. It's real-life and a real and old friend and you won't see her many times per week, I guess...

Nathan Osman

@ParanoidPanda I've never seen anything like that. NitroShare hardly utilizes the network at all when idle. Just a tiny UDP packet every few seconds.

Serg

@ByteCommander chatrooms are real people too. Except for @GeorgetheDev , he's a bot :)

Byte Commander

But okay, you're also right that I shouldn't care as long as the ping does not point at me! ;-)

user136984

@NathanOsman: After an analysis of the packets with WireShark it appears as though I am receiving a very high amount of TCP-UNKNOWN packets on NitroShare's port.

user136984

17:32

And it appears to be coming from the port of another machine that is running NitroShare.

user136984

Any ideas?

Byte Commander

@Serg Different approach: let it together as one script, but allow parameters like -1 or -2 and -l or -r. Check for those arguments, and if given, place the window accordingly. If not, open the prompt window. That way you can have the interactive and the direct version as separate shortcuts.

You just have to play around a bit with bash script arguments...

Serg

@ByteCommander Hey, I just changed my script to place 1/3 window on the left and 2/3 window on right and I kinda like it !

I think I might be using this script for myself a lot in the future

<.<

Nathan Osman

@ParanoidPanda What other machines are running NitroShare?

Byte Commander

:)

user136984

17:34

@NathanOsman: None on my network.

user136984

Not at the moment anyway.

Nathan Osman

What is the source of the packets then?

user136984

I will have to check, but not my IP...

Byte Commander

o.O

user136984

Ah, it appears to be an IP that was causing me some trouble before with odd communications...

user136984

17:39

@NathanOsman: Is there any way someone outside of my network could send packets to NitroShare?

Byte Commander

So someone from the internet is attacking your port opened by Nitroshare?

user136984

Apparently so... But I thought that it wouldn't be that easy without port forwarding enabled or something...

Byte Commander

Hack him back! >:D

Serg

Edited my answer again. I like these types of questions ^_^

Byte Commander

In the meanwhile, I have no idea what my opinion of this song/video should be:

THE DARK TENOR - Love is Light (official video HD)

►

user136984

17:42

I mean, @NathanOsman does NS really open the port up so that anyone outside of my network can send packets to it?

Byte Commander

An open port is an open port, isn't it?

user136984

@ByteCommander: That might not be such a great idea... I know this person through a ducky guy... And this guy happens to be a potentially grumpy security guru so maybe hacking him back isn't the best of plans...

user136984

Well yeah, but doesn't my router protect me?

Byte Commander

Depends on the router, obviously. I think you can configure some routers to block ports or to block all but a set of ports from the outside.

Nathan Osman

Most routers also act as a firewall.

user136984

17:46

Yes, mine does.

Byte Commander

May I ask for your router model?

user136984

Sorry, I don't feel comfortable with disclosing such information publicly.

Nathan Osman

My router will drop incoming connections to any port other than the ones I explicitly open.

user136984

Plus, I'm not even sure myself! :P

terdon

@ParanoidPanda You're kidding, right? The model? 143456 people hve the exact same one.

Byte Commander

17:48

Okay. No problem.

user136984

@terdon: Yes, but nobody knows which people.

Byte Commander

And I definitely think Powerwolf does a better job than Dark Tenor:

Nathan Osman

It would be difficult to debug this any further without being able to inspect the packet capture.

Byte Commander

terdon

@ParanoidPanda There just isn't any conceivable way how knowing your router's model would help any attacker. It could, however, help us help you since we'd be able to look up information about it.

A.B.

17:51

@ and your studies?

:P ;)

user136984

@terdon: Well, the other problem is that I don't remember what it is and can't find it... :P

terdon

It's written on the router. We don't need the serial number or anything, just the make and model.

Nathan Osman

Doesn't it have a sticker on the bottom or something?

user136984

Apparently not...

terdon

No make on it?

A.B.

17:54

@Serg and your studies :p ;)

terdon

Oh, by the way, please close your question as a dupe so we don't fill the close queue for no reason, @ParanoidPanda

@ByteCommander sorry, you

@ParanoidPanda sorry, not you, I meant ByteCommander =)

user136984

:D

Byte Commander

18:01

have it?

A.B.

@ByteCommander yes

user136984

@terdon @ByteCommander: Well, although getting the chocolate cake off did rip the label and mean that I cannot read what is on it now at all... I have still determined that my router has some sort of firewall.

Byte Commander

Nathan Osman

Try some of the common local IPs for routers...

192.168.1.1

terdon

@ParanoidPanda lol. You should also be able to find make and model by logging in to you router's config page.

Nathan Osman

18:04

192.168.1.254

...

Byte Commander

I am surprised that googling for facepalm, facewall, facedesk etc. all brings the desired result, but "facecake" just shows face-shaped cake

terdon

That ^^

Don't some routers even broadcast the IP address of the config page via UPnP?

Byte Commander

UPnP is one of the first things I disable when getting a new router...

But now: Dinner! Really!

@Serg Common, not smart enough? No, I can't believe that. :)

Nathan Osman

Well I've never seen this before:

ls: reading directory .: Too many open files

Serg

@NathanOsman o.O how many files do you have there ?

Nathan Osman

I think the NAS has gone berserk.

user136984

@terdon: Well, apparently the make and model is not there...

terdon

18:26

@NathanOsman Full /tmp ?

@ParanoidPanda Weird

Nathan Osman

I logged on via SSH and mediacrawler was eating up the CPU.

user136984

@terdon @NathanOsman: Nevertheless, shouldn't NitroShare have closed the connection?

Nathan Osman

@ParanoidPanda What do you mean?

user136984

I mean, shouldn't it block any more packets from that source if they are not transmitting a file and appear to be some sort of DOS attack?

user136984

For at least a certain amount of time.

Nathan Osman

18:35

It should disconnect if the protocol is violated in any way.

user136984

Well apparently not...

user136984

Can't you implement some sort of feature which allows users to get NitroShare to block any communications with an IP address if it launches what appears to be some sort of DOS attack? So that if it lasts for a certain amount of time or something, NitroShare blocks it for a user defined time. Because they seem to be getting round your other methods...

A: How to know what DNS am I using in Ubuntu from 14.04 onwards

Packet analysis would be an alternative method that works regardless of NetworkManager or other network connection tool that you use. Basic idea is to send a dns query with nslookup and in a second terminal check where the packets go. For that we'd need to connect to the network for the first ti...

how's that ?

Or feature that prevents people not on the same network to communicate with your NS. That is, probably an optional feature.

user136984

Is it possible that it is stopping and starting the connection so that each packet appears to be part of a new connection? Or does it not work like that?

A.B.

And with this edit, my explanation is stupid nonsense

Nathan Osman

@ParanoidPanda Throttling traffic is not something for an application to implement, but rather your host networking stack or hardware.

user136984

@NathanOsman: Well, it seems to be targeting one of my applications which doesn't seem to be doing anything about it, and even though I have done all I can to block the IP, it doesn't seem to work.

@Ravan I already did vote to reopen... You can't as you're not high enough on the food ladder yet... ;-)

Byte Commander

18:59

Well, that's fine then too.

Good night.

@ByteCommander Yeah :P

Nathan Osman

@RPiAwesomeness But I have the Oracle JDK installed.

user136984

@NathanOsman: It may not add up, but it is still happening. Is there no way that a machine on an external network could send packets to that port?

Nathan Osman

Yes, a machine could send packets to a port if the hardware allows those packets in.

But this scenario has become so far removed from NitroShare that it isn't even relevant anymore.

KISS!

(otherwise you'll succumb to the TL;DR syndrome)

Only upvotes so far! (@Serg: hint, hint...)

@ParanoidPanda Another hint to upvote ;-)

@A.B.: Believe me! You're going to need all the upvotes you can get on Meta Stack Exchange!!! :-(

I've been bitten before there! So did @Whaaaaaat!

1 question tens of downvotes!

Serg

@Fabby upvoted before you even hinted :)

Oh, I thought @terdon was the one who upvoted after he cast a duplicate vote!

;-)

terdon

@Fabby Can't, not enough rep. I flagged as a dupe instead.

Fabby

@terdon O_o! You? not enough rep??? Wow!

terdon

Fabby

You must've asked a question too some time ago then!

@Serg I'm out of votes...

for the next 3 hours...

... so keeping the tab open. In the mean time, you've got an edit! ;-)

Serg

Thank you :) Have I done a good job there though ?

Fabby

@Serg >:-) Like I said: I'm out of votes... Which implies I would have upvoted! :P and I will in a couple of hours or tomorrow.

@A.B. hint, hint
