Privoxy

Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. It has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.

Follow the below instructions

Step 1
Go to www.watismijnip.nl and write down youre IP ( you need it later)

Step 2

Now install privoxy on your machine using the below command

$ sudo apt-get install tor privoxy

Step 3

Now you need to edit the configuration file of privoxy

sudo gedit /etc/privoxy/config

Add this line: ” forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 . “ (with the dot ) at the end of the config file

Step 4

Now you need to install this firefox add on

click on “Install now” (62 KB file)

After the installation you have to restart Fire Fox again.

Step 5

Then go to Extra > Switch Proxy > manage proxies > add > standard > next.

Step 6

Next enter the following information into both the HTTP Proxy and SSL Proxy fields.

Hostname: 127.0.0.1

Port: 8118.

Set up any proxy exceptions you may need and then click on OK. (Do this also for the proxy label)

Step 7

Now choose in Firefox > extra > switch Proxy > Preferences > and apply “show tool bar”

Now the tool bar will be shown in Firefox

Choose proxy, your proxy server you just filed in: 127.0.0.1

If you want to use other proxies choose from this

What is CLUSTER SSH?

With ClusterSSH it is possible to make a SSH connection to multiple servers or machines to perform tasks from one single command window, without any scripting. The ‘cssh’ command lets you connect to any server specified as a command line argument, or to groups of servers (or cluster nodes) defined in a configuration file.

How to Install?

I am providing the steps to install cluster ssh in Ubuntu/Linux. Its very simple to install. No configuration required after installation in Ubuntu.

sudo apt-get install clusterssh

Now you are ready with clusterssh.

For other Linux Distributions

• ClusterSSH RPM for openSUSE 10.2/10.3 and SLE10 are available through the openSUSE Build-service: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/martijn/
• The ClusterSSH sourcecode can be downloaded from: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89139

cssh usage

I will explain you with an example using cssh. Let’s say I want to install php on 5 machines simultaneosly. Here is the command

cssh host1 host2 host3 host4 host5

The ‘cssh’ command opens a terminal window to every host. Commands given in to the cssh-console are executed on every connected host. When you start typing in the cssh-console you’ll see that the same command also show up on the command line of the connected systems.

Now type this command as we are about to install php on all 5 machines

sudo apt-get install php5

• If you are typing above command, you can see all the 5 terminals connected to above hosts will be shown up simultaneosly
• So if you want to exclude certain hosts temporarily from specific command, you can do this with a single mouseclick. Also, hosts can be added on the fly and open terminal windows can automatically be rearranged.

I have provided you a simple example of installing a package in multiple hosts. Now you can do any thing in terminal to control/configure any number of hosts. The number of hosts is not limited, you can give any number of hosts. I have tested 50 hosts at a time and worked well

Before starting it let’s check our system is up to date

Step 1

sudo apt-get update

Step 2

Now, install the inet daemon

sudo apt-get install inetutils-inetd

This takes care of all of our dependencies. Now on to the good stuff.

Step 3

sudo apt-get install hotway hotsmtp

This will install hotway, which allows you to read hotmail e-mails by simulating a POP3 server, and hotsmtpd, which allows you to send e-mail through hotmail using SMTP. By default, however, only hotway gets installed properly to your inet daemon, so let’s fix this.

Step 4

This step is little bit lengthy and you should be more careful. We will edit the inetd configuration file

sudo gedit /etc/inetd.conf

Look for a line like this in the above config file:

pop3        stream    tcp    nowait    nobody    /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/hotwayd

By default, hotway leaves a copy of each message it downloads on the server. I prefer it this way, so I can read my e-mail at other locations, but if you don’t feel like filling up your hotmail box, change the line to add “-r” to the end, like this:

pop3        stream    tcp    nowait    nobody    /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/hotwayd -r

And we also need to add a line to get hotsmtpd working, just paste this at the bottom

2500        stream    tcp    nowait    nobody    /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/hotsmtpd

This will set the inet daemon to listen to incoming calls on port 2500, and forward the connection to the hotsmtp daemon. Now, save your file, exit gedit, and restart your inetd server:

Step 5

Now restart the inerf service

sudo /etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd restart

If everything is working properly, you’ll see this pop up on your screen:

* Restarting internet superserver inetd                            [ ok ]

Now, close out of your terminal and start up Evolution. It may pop up the first-time use wizard, you can use that if you like. Or, you may have to go to Edit->Preferences and hit the Mail Accounts button on the left. However you choose to do it, here’s your information:

Email Address: xxx@hotmail.com (fill in your normal e-mail address that you use to login to hotmail)

Receive Server type: POP
Server: 127.0.0.1
Username: xxx@hotmail.com (same as above)
Security: No encryption
Authentication type: Password
(Remember password checkbox is up to you)

Send Server type: SMTP
Server: 127.0.0.1:2500
[X] Server requires authentication (check this box)
Use Secure Connection: No encryption
Authentication Type: PLAIN
Username: xxx@hotmail.com (same as above)
(Optional Remember password checkbox)

Now you are ready to send and recieve mails from hot mails

While many learn to edit the configuration files and configure or enable various modules, the bulk of what most people do with Apache is manage the content that Apache serves, with very little attention paid to what Apache itself can do.

Distributions provide initialisation scripts for Apache that take the guesswork out of using it. For instance, service httpd start would start the server and an associated stop command would bring it down. These initscripts, while a convenience, largely mask the power of the command they are calling, namely apachectl.

The apachectl command is a rather overlooked program when it comes to working with Apache; however, it can be used to do some very interesting things. For instance, you can debug or test configurations by starting Apache with an alternative configuration file, leaving the working/production configuration untouched until changes can be tested. This can be accomplished with the -f option and the specification of an alternate configuration file:

# apachectl -f /etc/httpd/conf/httpd-testing.conf

This will start an Apache (httpd) process using the httpd-testing.conf file as the primary configuration file rather than the production httpd.conf.

A companion option here would be the -t option which performs a syntax check on configuration files, validating any changes you make. The command will warn if it detects any problems with the configuration file. Use it in conjunction with the -f option to validate in-progress configuration changes on non-default files: apachectl -t -f /etc/httpd/conf/httpd-testing.conf.

Another useful set of options are those that allow you to examine configuration content without actually opening and scanning configuration files. The apachectl -M command will list all loaded modules, those compiled-in and those that are shared. apachectl -l will display only those static modules that Apache loads; these would be the modules compiled into the httpd binary.

The apachectl -L option displays all available directives that Apache understands, and which module they are associated with. This is a great way to find out what options come from which module, and what they do. For instance:

# apachectl -L

<Directory (core.c)

Container for directives affecting resources located in the specified directories

Allowed in *.conf only outside <Directory>, <Files> or <Location>

...

The apachectl command also allows you to override directives on the command-line by using the -c option. This can be useful to temporarily test a new site or code. For instance, to override the default ServerLimit directive, use:

# apachectl start -c "ServerLimit 1024"

Other useful directives to override include DocumentRoot and Listen, among others.
