I usually have some specific goals I’d like to add, which is why this would be the barebones scaffolding.
That aside, I don’t like the output from nmap 😜
Honestly I would if I could.
The reason I redo it is because I change work places… And it’s one of those things I could actually bring with me no problem because it doesn’t contain confidential data, but also since it’s so trivial, I don’t think of it until I’m on to the next place.
And I haven’t made a new one since last change 😂
What I’d probably do today is to list out the constraints and what I’d like to have work, then ask ChatGPT or Bing AI to make it for me, e.g.;
On a system running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 I should like a simple ping tool. It should be written using best practices, contain a shebang, follow all good guidelines for scripting and for the tools used. It should print out a help section with example if called without arguments. If no flags are provided, it could be hostnames or an IPs. Alternative, it can accept an argument of a CIDR range following a switch, '--range 10.2.3.4/30'. When it has verified the input, the following tests should be made for the IP, hostname or IPs, per IP involved;
The script should be error free, print out helpful error messages when something occurs and gracefully degrade using ‘try/catch’ or similar. As far as possible, it should use different functions internally to ensure modualirty and maintainability.
That would give you a Python or Bash script most likely. It’s going to give you an 80% done script. Probably also experiment with feeding it a type of output you’d prefer. Hope that helps!
Every few years I reinvent a script for this lol
I wrote to ask him but I never heard back. To be fair he’s probably quite stressed at the moment.
But none of these for profit companies that are dependent upon xz have funneled any of their gains in there?
Thanks! Does it hide the prompt or set the settings?
How many of these dual license solutions have donated to xz maintenance?
You might also want Consent-O-Matic which sets your cookie prefs for most sites automatically.
I almost forget it isn’t included in firefox by default.
It almost is; the scaffolding is there but the addon is needed to turn the feature on.
You can set it up
Map Men also have great ad reads
Kinda like the C64 games that had load time games
Top bad it fucked my EFI so my NixOS can’t boot 🥲
