Ubuntu Security :: Checking If Anyone Is Viewing Passwords Stored In FireFox?

Jun 16, 2010

As I am a paranoid bastard, I made a bash screencap-script for my Ubuntu-computer, so I can check if anyone uses my computer for things I don't want them to do (eg. checking if anyone is viewing passwords stored in FireFox, looking at private files, or other things I find disturbing). There might be other people than me that is paranoid and want to monitor what's going on on their computers while they are away or letting someone else use their computer when going to the bathroom.

This is a small script, I'd like to hear if there is any improvements that can be done, so I can learn more and become better at such scripting.

The script requires Imagick (sudo apt-get install imagemagick) and a folder in the ~-directory (/home/username) called ".screen" (hidden, as this makes it more difficult to "intruders" to find it and it looks more like a system-folder than a monitoring-folder).

The script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
i=1;
j=`date`;
user=`whoami`;

[Code]....

Add this script to /usr/local/bin and then go to keyboard-shortcuts in GNOME and add a shortcut-key-combination of your own choice for the script. Call it whatever you'd like, and the command you want to run is simply "screen". To add a shortcut for stopping the script, you add another shortcut-key-combination to the command "killall screen".

This enables you to monitor activity on your computer while you're away, saving png-screenshots of your desktop every three seconds in the folder /home/username/.screen/date.

NOTE: I'm not taking any responsibility for what you do with this script. Remember that monitoring someone's activities is never the right way to handle anything. Also, it's illegal many places. Take care and use it only for educational and testing purposes.

Fedora :: Where Are Stored PWs For Remote Desktop Viewer Stored?

Oct 20, 2010

I have machine that I used to VNC to on my network with Remote Desktop Viewer from my Fedora 12. When I first connected I checked the checkbox that I wanted to store the pw. Now the pw on the other machine has changed but Remote Desktop Viewer does not ask for a new password, it just gives me a black screen, like I am connected but I can't see anything. I'd like to know if anyone knows where this pw data is stored on the system so I can start fresh. I already tried uninstalling Remote Desktop Viewer and installing it again.

Ubuntu :: Firefox Keeps Asking To Remember Password

Jun 11, 2011

I've got a strange issue here concerning Firefox. Of some sites i don't ant my login and password to be saved by Firefox. The question pops up (below navigation bar) i click no and it's gone. But when i go to the same website, let's say, the next day, i get the same question. This issue is not related to 1 website, it's doing with all kinds of sites i log in to.

How can i prevent that FF comes up with that question to remember my login/password even when i clicked on No, do not remember? Pleae keep in mind that some site i do let FF save my login/password, those sites are regular visited by me. So unchecking the option in preferences i rather don't want that.

Who can tell me why FF keeps coming up with that question even if i click on no?

Ubuntu One :: Keyring Password Prompt Upon Starting Firefox?

Jul 12, 2010

A while ago, I removed the Ubuntu One entry from my Startup Applications because it was annoying having to activate the keyring every time I booted up/logged on. Now, I am prompted for a password once I start Firefox (mind that it's only the first time I run Firefox after boot/login). I'm assuming it's Ubuntu One because of the sequence of events, but feel free to correct me if you think otherwise. How can I stop this?

Running standard Ubuntu 10.04.

Ubuntu :: Localhost - Asking For Username And A Password When Start Firefox

Oct 26, 2010

When I start firefox the first thing it does is asking a username and a password. Very strange. Other browsers do not do this authomatically, but they do if i type localhost in the adressbar. I'm using ubuntu10.04, and firefox 3.6.11. At the very beginning I thought that there was some problem with TOR, since the problem first appeared one day I turned it on (I had used it before, without having any problem). Now I've completely uninstalled TOR, but the problem is still there.

Ubuntu Security :: Master Password Is Not Working In Firefox

Dec 5, 2010

My master password is not saving any passwords in Firefox. I use this also in Windows XP, and all my passwords get saved. Furthermore, is this even a good idea to begin with? Can the passwords be stolen easily?

Ubuntu Security :: Firefox Master Password Does Not Encrypt Data

Jan 21, 2010

I just tried out setting a master password for Firefox saved passwords and compared the old and new (before and after setting the master password) signons.sqlite files. Although passwords were not stored in plain text in either of the files, I did notice that the files were exactly the same. Am I wrong in assuming that setting the master password did not encrypt anything at all, or am I simply looking at the wrong file?

Software :: Firefox: Password Protection Disabled For Some Sites?

Sep 1, 2010

I use Firefox's built-in password saving utility, which is great. However, for some Web sites, I never get the option to save the password. Googling indicates that Firefox somehow gives Web sites a means of disabling password-saving.

How do I disable this "feature"? (Preferably without installing a plug-in.) It's irritating. I should get to decide whether or not I want passwords saved, not some stupid Web Master who thinks he knows what is best for the world.

Ubuntu Installation :: Hard Disk Needs No Password In Order To Mount / Firefox Can't Start

Apr 30, 2010

well yesterday I upgraded my karmic to lynx. So far so good, overall much improved plus I love the new theme. Now the problem, I share my Firefox/Thunderbird profile (stored in my secondary HD) with WinXP (dual boot box). Since karmic, before I opened Firefox/Thunderbird, I had to mount the 2ndary HD which of course prompted me for a password and then everything worked fine. In case I forgot to mount the disk then Firefox popped the following msg: Firefox is either opened or in use.Now, lucid strangely mounts my HD without a password, more peculiarly I have r-w-e permissions and on top of that Firefox/Thunderbird gives me the silly msg!

Tried to unmount/mount back but still no password. I end up believing that this Firefox hesitation to start (based on karmic experience) is related with the password thing...or not?

Ubuntu Security :: Best Way To Wipe SSD ?

Jun 8, 2011

I'm selling my Dell Mini 10 that came with Ubuntu on it. I never really used it much, and the only sensitive things on it were some PHP files with MySQL passwords that I can change on the server if need be. I'm not familiar with command line at all, so I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to wipe the SSD. I already reinstalled the OS using the recovery disk from Dell which said it would 'delete' the contents of my hard drive. I'm not sure if the job it did is suitable. What's the best way for me to make sure my data can't be recovered? Is there anything with a GUI I can download to help with this?

Ubuntu :: Wipe All The Tracks Off IPod?

Jun 10, 2010

however I've managed to hash up the iPod database using gtkpod, as it seemed to come up with some error, which it quite often seems to do. It all semed normal unitl I ejected the device, as, upon ejection, it appears to not have any tracks or videos on, only games, however I can tell you that all the tracks are still there. The only other issue is my windows box is out of commision, and my laptop doesn't have enough space to hold 80g of music, and need the iPod soon for many presentations, which rules out sending it back to apple.

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Wipe Off XP And Install Win 7

Nov 14, 2010

I have installed Ubuntu within xp abt 6 months before and till now im running dual boot with grub loader. I guess its Ubuntu became the primary OS but not sure. I need to figure out 2 things.

1) Which one is the primary OS. Since the grub loader is showing first, is it ubuntu? or since I have installed ubuntu alongside xp, is it XP? which one gets affected if i format/remove c: drive.
2) And second I would like to format xp and install windows 7 without losing my data, hard drives etc.

Is it possible? I want to just format my windows xp installed c: and want my ubuntu remain untouched, coz I have made many manual configurations and installed many softwares and made my ubuntu more stable than windows, so that i will continue to use ubuntu grub loader henceforth for ubuntu and windows 7.

General :: Ubuntu - Wipe A Flash Drive From?

Jul 24, 2010

I recently used a flash drive to try MeeGo on my netbook. Unfortunately, the application I used to write MeeGo to the flash drive created a new partition in a rather unusual format. The Ubuntu disk utility can't delete the partition, and GParted can't even see it. How can I completely wipe the flash drive from Ubuntu? I'd prefer not to install any additional software.

Ubuntu :: Wish To Wipe HDD, New Install Black Screen?

Jun 5, 2011

I've a new HDD, well new everything. Have created startup disk and memory stick. With the memory stick I had 11.04 up and running as, what is it not install, but just looking. Then ran Gparted setting up ./ ./boot, ./data and /swap. went to install Ubuntu and the screen went Black with the white cursor in the upper left corner. There is no way for me to escape from the cursor. No terminal and can't run Gparted. Have checked and move the hardware connections on the mother board.

Noticed that some felt that fsck could be part of the problem along with suggestions, but as I said I've no terminal. All I can think to do is to wipe the hard drive and start once, but my question is how to do itI briefly is, on the BIOS screen "Searching NVRAM", then the black screen, I appreciate your time and I open to suggestions as to how to correct the problem.

Ubuntu :: KDESVN Broken - How To Wipe Security Locker

Jan 25, 2010

I installed kdesvn. I then connected to my svn server. So far so good. Unfortunately because the connection is through svn it kept asking me for my password. I had put a password on the security locker, it was annoying. I googled how to wipe the security locker so I could reset the password. This is where my troubles start. I used rm ... /kde/path/to/locker

When I did this, kdesvn stopped asking for my password and times out with an error when trying to connect. I then uninstalled kdesvn and kompare, then used rm .. /kde. I then reinstalled kdesvn and the problem isn't fixed. How do I do a completely fresh installation of kdesvn + locker so that it will start asking for my password again?
