Dtcubed Software Notes


##### To include (e.g. "add") in what will be committed
git add 

##### Determine your current branch and display local branches
git branch

##### CREATE a new local branch and switch to it
git checkout -b 

Where "BN" is a branch name like "engineer-feature-YYYYMMDD-xx" or "engineer-task-YYYYMMDD-xx"
NOTE: git apparently doesn't like like branch names with leading "/" characters
NOTE: in the examples above, the "xx" might represent a sequence # (which may be overkill)

##### SWITCH to an existing branch using checkout command
git checkout 

Where "BN" is a branch name like "engineer-feature" or "engineer-task"

##### To discard changes in the working directory to an individual file
git checkout --  

##### To commit to current branch with comment
git commit -m ""  

##### To show commit history on a branch, use variations of this base command
git log 

##### To merge from one branch to another, use this base command
git merge 

##### To push local branch up to the origin repo, use this base command
git push

##### To remove files from the Git index
git rm --cached 

##### Determine your Git status (what branch, untracked files, etc.)
git status

./onetime -d -n -p pad.dat < ciphertext.dat > cleartext2.dat
sha256sum cleartext.dat cleartext2.dat
Where: pad.dat was created like:

Adding Ubuntu Box To 802.1X Network Without Using GUI

Per: http://www.nowiressecurity.com/#!configure-8021x-authentication-linux/coxb -- add something like this to the /etc/network/interfaces file for wired eth0:

# The eth0 network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
pre-up wpa_supplicant -B -i eth0 -D wired -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant

The "pre-up" entry (above) will allow the interface to be brought up automatically on rebooting without the need to use a GUI dialog box.

Here are the key entries in the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file that I used:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

eapol_version=2

ap_scan=0

network={
        key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
        eap=PEAP
        identity="ACCOUNT NAME HERE"
        password="PASSWORD HERE"
        eapol_flags=0
}
