Rather than being impregnable fortresses of steel, most computers are about as leaky as old wooden fishing boats. Though the press has focused primarily on Windows security violations in the last few years, Unix boxes are just as vulnerable and require as much, or more, effort to keep safe.
If your Unix box sits in your home, it is protected from unauthorized access, you live alone, and you never connect to the Internet, security probably isn't a concern for you. However, chances are your Unix box is fairly easy to access physically, and your system is most likely connected to the Internet through a modem or other network connection. In both these cases, this chapter and those that follow are of extreme interest to you.
Anytime you have a multiuser system, your account is vulnerable to others in the system and to anyone who might break into the system from outside your organization. The only way to protect accounts is to ensure that good account management practices are in place, such as removing accounts when people are no longer with the organization and using difficult-to-hack passwords, as well as making sure that sensitive data is protected by accidental or deliberate access.
For single-user systems, you'll want to make sure that someone can't accidentally or deliberately log into your machine at home or work. Chances are no one would try, but particularly if you have something such as Linux installed on a laptop, you're going to want to keep the snoops out.
More importantly, before you connect to the Internet, you have to know what you're doing with your system, particularly if you run applications such as web servers on your system. All you need is one harmful worm or virus, or to have a cracker break into your system, to have all your work and effort compromised.
The above areas of vulnerability — account, machine, and system — probably don't surprise you. But are you aware that you're vulnerable to yourself?
How many times have you accidentally deleted a file? Now, how many times have you deleted a file and not had backup in place? Security isn't just a protection against external intrusion. Used effectively, security is also an effective means to protect the system and the data and applications from internal error and blunder.
Before you install your Unix operating system and turn on your machine, you need to have a security plan in place, starting with a security checklist (Section 48.2).

If you can stand the access times, one of the most valuable web sites for Unix security information is the CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team) web site at http://www.cert.org. At this site you'll be able to find information about the latest security alerts (Section 48.3), where to get security patches for your operating system, and the CERT Unix Security Checklist.
The CERT Unix Security Checklist is a step-by-step overview of what security procedures you need to implement for your Unix system, regardless of the type of system you have.
There's no magic formula in the Checklist, just good common sense. First of all, keep your system up to date with the most recent security patches. Always apply the most restrictive permission (Section 50.5) on a file: if a file only needs to be read-only, make sure its file permissions are set to read-only, and so on. Other tips are disabling Internet services you're not using and protecting your system so it can't be used to launch denial-of-service attacks (DoS) (Section 48.5).
Above all, the Checklist emphasizes an attitude of "Go ahead, be paranoid — someone is out to break into your system." If your Unix box is connected in any way to the Internet, the Checklist is the first thing you should print out and review, one step at a time, before you install your Unix operating system or turn on your machine. Definitely before you connect to the Internet.

If you have a Microsoft Windows system, you're probably familiar with the frequent security bulletins from Microsoft's Security division. One of the nice things about Microsoft's security is that you can get security alerts emailed to you so that you're made aware of new vulnerabilities as soon as Microsoft acknowledges them.
In the Unix world, you may have to make a little more effort to keep up with the security alerts for various flavors of Unix; however, keeping up with the alerts isn't a horrendous amount of work. It's just a case of knowing where to look for them.
I've already mentioned CERT (Section 48.2). This web site has some of the best information about new security vulnerabilities, and if you're managing a multiuser Unix system, you should check this site at least once a day. Even if you only have a single-use Unix box, you should check the site frequently. Note, though, that CERT publicizes all security vulnerabilities, not just Unix ones. On the day I wrote this, when I checked at CERT's Advisories page (at http://www.cert.org/advisories/), there were advisories on Oracle, the zlib Compression library, PHP, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer, to name just a few.
If you're running a Linux system, you can check Linux Security at http://www.linuxsecurity.com for up-to-date information on security problems related to Linux operating systems. In addition, you can read articles on Linux security and download security-related utilities. When I accessed the site, the current reported exploit was related to a vulnerability with Apache, and the most current advisory was warning about a potential buffer overflow (Section 48.4) problem related to FreeBSD's squid port.
What I particularly like about Linux Security is that it shows security advisories categorized by flavor of Unix/Linux. Among the categories are Corel, Caldera, Red Hat, Slackware, Debian, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and so on. Since I run a Red Hat Linux box as well as a FreeBSD web server, it is particularly helpful for me to see what I need to be aware of in both of these environments.
O'Reilly publishes information about Unix and open source at the Linux DevCenter at the O'Reilly Network (at http://linux.oreillynet.com). Rather than list all vulnerabilities, this site tends to focus on specific instances and then covers each in more detail than you'll normally get at the other security sites.

You can't run any operating system without getting security alerts related to buffer overflow vulnerabilities. Unless you're into system hacking, you're probably not aware of what this means and why buffer overflow is the base cause of so many alerts.
In a procedural language, such as the C programming language used to create Unix, functionality is broken down into separate, reusable functions. These functions are then called whenever that functionality is needed. Data is passed between the application and the function through function arguments.
Function arguments are pushed onto a section of memory called the stack. Additionally, the return point for the function — that place in the application where the function is called — is also pushed onto the stack. Finally, data internal to the function is also pushed onto the stack.
A buffer is allocated on the stack to store function parameters. If a parameter exceeds the buffer size, the data overwrites the other stack contents, including the function return call, resulting in an application failure. Many functions commonly used in C, such as scanf or strcpy, don't ensure that the buffer meets the size of the data copied, and if the application developer doesn't perform this check herself, the application will most likely fail the first time the data copied exceeds the size of the buffer.
An example of this type of problem is an application that opens and copies the contents of a file using one of the C functions that don't do buffer size checking. As long as the file contents are small enough, the application doesn't generate an error. However, if a file's contents are too large, the application will fail, abruptly, leaving application support personnel scratching their heads wondering why an application that worked to a certain point stopped working.
An application failure is not the worst that can happen in this situation. Crackers with a good understanding of how the stack works and knowledge of assembly code can exploit this vulnerability by writing code to the stack beyond the function arguments and function return address. In addition, they can rewrite the function return address to point to the address of the beginning of this malicious code. When the function finishes, the address of the new hacked code is pushed to the processor rather than the return location of the function, and the hacked code is executed, usually with disastrous results.
To prevent both application crashes and buffer-overflow vulnerabilities, boundary-checking versions of most C functions are used rather than the unsafe functions. The application developer also adds boundary checking to his or her own code, such as checking the size of the application file before processing it from our example application. Unfortunately, this doesn't always happen.
When you read about or receive an alert about buffer-overflow vulnerability in a Unix utility or application, what's happened is that crackers — or security personnel — have discovered that the application contains code that isn't testing the boundaries of the data being processed. Usually a patch that replaces the defective code accompanies this alert.
— SP
Another major security problem is one in which users of a Unix system can't access the functionality because access attempts are being blocked in some way. These blocking efforts are called, appropriately enough, denial-of-service attacks, usually abbreviated DoS.
CERT defines three types of DoS attacks:
An attack that consumes all resources
Manipulation of configuration information
Manipulation of network components
Resources in a networked system include memory, bandwidth, Internet connections, and so on. In a DoS attack, the attacker seeks to use these resources in such a way that no one else can connect to the system. Famous examples of this type of attack involve a concept known as the distributed denial-of-service attack, DDoS.
In a DDoS attack, several machines that have not been properly secured against external control are compromised, and an application is placed on each. This application lies dormant until triggered by the attacker. When this happens, these compromised machines — known as handlers — direct other compromised machines — known as agents — to run an application that generates network packets, all of which are directed to a specific target. These packets overwhelm the available bandwidth of the victim, and they may also overwhelm routers in the path to the victim to the point where entire sections of the Internet may be negatively impacted.
Though Windows-based rather than Unix, the Code Red worm that caused so many problems in 2001 was based on the premise of DDoS.
Though disabling, DoS attacks based on overutilizing ephemeral resources such as bandwidth deny access but don't permanently damage a machine's infrastructure. However, another DoS attack is one in which an attacker gains root access to a machine and modifies configuration information such as usernames and passwords, in such a way that no one can access the network.
How simple is it to access configuration information? Accessing the password file on a system can be as easy as using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) to download the password file unless TFTP is disabled or configured to prevent unauthorized access.
In fact, a DDoS attack is dependent on the attacker getting access to several machines in order to launch an attack. Keeping your system clean and protected not only prevents invasion of your own systems, but prevents your Unix boxes from being used to launch attacks on others.
The third type of DoS attack is based on physical attack. Literally, if someone comes after your wires with an axe, no security software is going to protect your system. However, axe-wielding intruders are beyond the scope of this book, so we'll concentrate primarily on software and system adjustments to protect against DoS attacks.

Contrary to popular myth, systems don't just start to fail for no reason. If your system is starting to perform poorly, chances are it's because of something that's been initiated. In most cases, the cause has innocuous roots, such as a poorly designed script; however, sluggish performance could also mean an external attack. Regardless of the origin of the decreasing efficiency, you'll want to take steps to locate the problem and remove it before it takes your system down.
If you notice that your systems performance is degrading, there are several built-in utilities you can use to troubleshoot possible problems. Probably the most commonly used utility is ps (Section 24.5); however, there are other utilities that can provide useful information.
The first check to perform if you think that you have a destructive agent running on your machine is the processes currently in operation. You'll use the basic ps command to do this, after first checking to make sure that ps itself hasn't been replaced by a bogus program (check installation date, location, and size to see if the ps utility has been replaced).
Running the ps command with the flags -aux shows each user's processes, the CPU and memory usage, time started and command. Here's an example of output:
> ps -aux root 6910 0.0 0.1 2088 516 ?? IsJ 30Apr02 1:04.80 /usr/sbin/sshd root 6955 0.0 0.0 2600 384 ??

In this listing, several processes are being run by root, but all are normal processes and accounted for. In addition, several processes are being run by "nobody," which is the generic user used with HTTP web page access. Using additional ps flags displays additional information, including -e for environment and -f for command-line and environment information of swapped-out processes.
If your system is under DoS attack, your swap space is a vulnerable point. This hard disk space is reserved for use by the operating system and to provide space for temporary files. If your system is sluggish and you suspect a possible DoS attack — or just a badly behaving script that results in a lot of temporary files — the first thing you should check is how much swap space you have.
The pstat utility can be used to check swap space when using the -s option on the command line:
pstat -s
The result will be a listing of swap areas by device with available and used swap space. If the percentage of used space is much higher than normal, you probably have a bad script or external interference. Additional utilities can help you determine which.
Within FreeBSD and other Unix systems, swapinfo returns the same information as pstat -s. If you're running a Mac OS X system, instead of pstat, you'll use the ls command and check the contents of /var/vm:
ls -l /var/vm -rw-------T 1 root wheel 000000000 Jun 4 12:56 swapfile0
Since the system wasn't under load, the swap space didn't have any contents at the time this command was run.
Another check you can run if your system is running sluggishly and you think you might be under attack is netstat. This command will return activity on Unix sockets as well as all of the active Internet connections, including referrals if the connection occurs through HTTP.
Here's an example of netstat output:
Active Internet connections Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp4 0 0 burningbird.http a25253.upc-a.che.3617 TIME_WAIT tcp4 0 0 burningbird.http pm66.internetsee.4301 TIME_WAIT tcp4 0 0 burningbird.http strider.ccs.neu..4492 TIME_WAIT tcp4 0 0 burningbird.http strider.ccs.neu..4491 TIME_WAIT tcp4 0 0 burningbird.http strider.ccs.neu..4490 TIME_WAIT tcp4 0 0 burningbird.http mailgate.ltsbfou.57600 FIN_WAIT_2 tcp4 0 0 burningbird.http mailgate.ltsbfou.57595 FIN_WAIT_2 tcp4 0 20 burningbird.ssh adsl-64-168-24-1.1076 ESTABLISHED tcp4 0 0 burningbird.submission *.* LISTEN tcp4 0 0 burningbird.smtp *.* LISTEN tcp4 0 0 burningbird.domain *.* LISTEN tcp4 0 0 burningbird.http *.* LISTEN tcp4 0 0 burningbird.https *.* LISTEN tcp4 0 0 burningbird.pop3s *.* LISTEN tcp4 0 0 burningbird.ssh *.* LISTEN udp4 0 0 burningbird.domain *.* udp4 0 0 burningbird.syslog *.* Active UNIX domain sockets Address Type Recv-Q Send-Q Inode Conn Refs Nextref Addr e5ed4cc0 stream 0 0 e5f0cbc0 0 0 0 /tmp/mysql.sock e5ed4d40 stream 0 0 0 0 0 0 e5e08380 dgram 0 0 0 e5ed4dc0 0 e5e083c0 e5e083c0 dgram 0 0 0 e5ed4dc0 0 e5ed4d80 e5ed4d80 dgram 0 0 0 e5ed4dc0 0 0 e5ed4dc0 dgram 0 0 e556c040 0 e5e08380 0 /var/run/log
Specifying netstat with the command line option -s provides a detailed report of per-protocol — TCP, UDP, IP, and so on — usage statistics.
The netstat program is helpful not only for determining if someone is trying to break into your system, but also for determining if your system is having basic communication problems.
You can use iostat to check I/O statistics on your various devices. For instance, to check to see what kind of activity is occurring on all devices every three seconds for nine runs, issue the following command:
# iostat -odICTw 2 -c 9 tty mlxd0 acd0 fd0 md0 cpu tin tout blk xfr msps blk xfr msps blk xfr msps blk xfr msps us ni sy in id 0 0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 224 12 167 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 568 36 55.8 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 144 5 402 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 112 7 287 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 48 3 670 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 240 15 134 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 192 12 168 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 96 6 335 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0
The result allows you to compare I/O over a period of time. Note that in some systems, iostat may be io_stat, instead.
Another check is vmstat (vm_stat), which displays the virtual memory statistics for a machine. As with iostat, running the command several times over a period of time can show if there is unusual activity within virtual memory. For instance, if the free memory unexpectedly decreases, no known user is running a process, the occurrence of the free memory use is consistent (occurring at a set time of day), and no other system processes or cron jobs are known to be running, you probably have an intruding application running somewhere on the system. Other tests can then be used to help you determine what the application is.

From the CERT Intruder detection checklist at http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/intruder_detection_checklist.html comes a variety of helpful steps to take to determine if your system has had an intruder.
Check logfiles first, and then check for any unusual setgid (Section 49.5) or setuid files.
A key symptom that something is wrong with your system is when something appears that doesn't belong. This includes files, directories, users, and groups. Unfortunately, these are also almost impossible to detect unless they occur in obviously incorrect locations.
You can search for modified files based on a time range using the find (Section 9.1) command. For instance, the following two commands will find all files that have been changed in the last two days excluding today. The results are piped to cat for easier reading:
> find / -mtime -2 -mtime +1 -exec ls -ld {} \; | cat > find / -ctime -2 -ctime +1 -exec ls -ldc {} \; | cat
Running these commands as root will ensure you have access to all files and directories. Note that depending on the size of your system, the command can take a considerable amount of time.
Also check for hidden files, those beginning with a period. The following command searches every directory but NFS mounted ones for files beginning with a period (.):
find / -name ".*" -print -xdev | cat -v
In addition, review critical files such as /etc/passwd and the crontab file (Section 25.3), checking for new and unusual entries. You might want to keep off-disk copies of the files to use for comparison; online versions can also be compromised.
Check binaries for possible changes and replacements — including backups — and changes to files such as xinetd.conf, allowing services such as telnet that were originally disallowed.
In other words, according to CERT, knowing your system and checking for changes using built-in utilities can be the best approach to take to detect intrusion.
— SP
If you live in the United States, and depending on which state you live in, if you include the word "welcome" within the MOTD, this can legally be construed as an invitation, which means that anyone can come into the system if they can find a username and password. And since usernames and passwords are transmitted in plain text using telnet or a similar service, you're basically leaving your system open. If someone breaks in, they may not even be prosecutable.
Avoid the use of the word "welcome" in your message; instead use a message that specifically states that only authorized personnel are allowed access to the system. In addition, you'll also want to consider removing operating system information from the MOTD: no need to tell people more about your system then they need to know.
— SP
Linux contains a /proc filesystem with virtual files that maintain the current state of the system. You can actually access the proc system directly and view the command, command-line parameters, and other information.
In particular, if you have a suspicious process (detected using ps (Section 49.6)), you can investigate the process more thoroughly using the Linux proc filesystem. For instance, if ps -ux returns the following procecss:
Root 1684 0.0 0.7 7492 3888 ? S 13:44 0.00 rp3
you can change to the process directory by using the process number:
bash# cd /proc/1684
Once there, typing ls will show several entries, including ones titled cwd, exe, and cmdline. At that point you can use cat (Section 11.2) to print out the cmdline entry, which will show the command, including parameters that kicked off the process:
bash# cat cmdline rp3
Typing ls -l on cwd results in:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 June 4 17:44 cwd-> /root
Typing ls-1 on exe results in:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 June 4 17:44 cwd-> /usr/bin/rp3
The proc filesystem is extremely helpful, not only for security reasons, but also for general system usage.
— SP
Any remote access that takes a plain text password increases the vulnerability of your system. This includes the use of telnet and FTP.
If your flavor of Unix is running the inet daemon, you can disable telnet, ftp, rlogin, and so on by accessing the /etc/rc.conf file and setting the inetd_enable value to no:
inetd_enable=no
You can disable individual services by accessing the inetd.conf file and setting the associated line to no, or commenting the line out, as shown in Darwin and BSD environments such as OpenBSD or FreeBSD:
#telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexe/tcpd telnetd
— SP
The remote access tools such as rlogin, to login remotely, and rsh, to execute commands on a remote system, are handy. For instance, with rlogin, if your username is the same on the remote machine as it is on the local machine, you don't have to provide your username and password.
However, the very simplicity of the rlogin and rsh commands makes them security risks. If you're concerned about the security of your Unix box, you'll want to disable these.
Disable both rlogin and rsh by commenting out their entries in inetd.conf or xinetd.conf, depending on which your system is running.
— SP
TCP Wrappers are programs that work with inetd to monitor and filter telnet, ftp, rlogin, and other services. In particular, TCP wrappers provide log information showing access using these services, particularly helpful if you're trying to determine if someone's attempting to break into your system.
In FreeBSD, the TCP wrapper tcpd (documented at http://www.freebsddiary.org/tcpwrapper.php) is built into the system starting with FreeBSD 3.2 release, and is configured through the /etc/syslog.conf file. The following lines from an existing file show that TCP logging is turned on for all remote access such as telnet, putting the log messages into a file called auth.log:
auth.* /var/log/auth.log mail.info /var/log/maillog lpr.info /var/log/lpd-errs
Since I have telnet, rlogin, etc. disabled from my system, nothing shows in the log file.
The TCP wrapper is also installed by default in Mac OS X. The tcpd daemon is installed in place of the service — such as in place of fingerd — or the entry for the service is adjusted to point to tcpd in /etc/inetd.conf:
finger stream tcp nowait nobody /some/where/tcpd in.fingerd
By default, all unprotected external sources are wrapped with the TCP wrapper.
In some systems, the TCP wrapper is controlled by the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files instead of within syslog.conf. You'll want to check tcpd for your system by accessing the manpage for it:
# man tcpd
The same configuration and TCP wrapper (Section 46.5) — known as the Wietse Venema's network logger — is used with Debian (downloadable at http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/tcpd.html) and Linux, as well as other operating systems.

"Lucky Numbers" - Noirish Comedy is Darker than Funny by Homer Yen (c) 2000
Here's a piece of advice that you've always heard. "Don't wait until the last minute!" If you do, you'll have very few options at your disposal. In the dark comedy, "Lucky Numbers," manic Russ Richards (John Travolta) finds that he's at the point where he's waited way too long. With no other way out, his only route of escape is down the expressway of amorality.
 He's a greedy schemer and it is this shortcoming that puts him on the brink of bankruptcy. All of his ideas seem destined to fail. In his latest enterprise, he has opened a snowmobile dealership. However, the area is experiencing an unseasonable heat wave. And as Christmas grows near, wading pools are selling faster. He's quickly losing money, while the bank wants to foreclose on his home. He'll need to come up with a whopping plan to bail him out of his precarious situation.
Yet, being unethical is not something that seems totally alien to our desperate hero. He oozes a slick confidence and a hokey charm that suggests that no problem is too big and that no solution is too bizarre. Most of all, he's ready to do what it takes to bail out of his financial woes. Or is he?
Realizing that his station broadcasts the Pennsylvania State lottery drawing, he conjures up a plan to fix the lottery and walk away a multimillionaire. With the help of his strip club owner friend, Gig (Tim Roth), and Crystal the Lottery Girl (Lisa Kudrow), they design and execute the unimaginable with surprising efficiency. So far so good. However, when other people get a whiff of what they've done, they all want a piece of the winnings. Russ gets blackmailed for so much that he's now in even more debt! As more and more complications arise, his options narrow and become less savory. Soon, (and this is one of the film's more clever twists), fearless Russ is reduced to a cowardly state while the daffy Lotto girl ascends into a greed-driven 'cleaner' who goes out to tie up any loose ends.
Droll it is thanks to Travolta's bravura performance with his exaggerated voice inflections and mannerisms, but it's not as dark or as edgy as it should be. This is the kind of film where zany characters and absurd situations drive the film. Some, like the inclusion of a two-bit but touchy-feely thug (Michael Rappaport) and the asthmatic accomplice (Michael Moore) who wanted to use his share "to buy his church a new furnace and then use the rest to start an adult book store" worked to heighten the film's tone of absurdity. But, others like the TV station exec (Ed O'Neill) seemed flat while the inclusion of the dimwitted cop (Bill Pullman) who stumbles onto the case, didn't seem necessary, although it did add a few goofball moments. Most awkward, however, was Kudrow, on whose shoulder the spirit of this film squarely lies. Crystal is liberated, conniving, and greedy. Kudrow doesn't possess that important sense of brazen vulgarity, which would have made this film really fun. So, like playing the lottery, a few numbers hit and a few miss. Better luck next time.

- FrameButton, TextBlock and TextInput now have a LabelSubTheme theme option which can be used to control the subtheme used for the underlying labels in these widgets.
- Labels can now have outlines.
- Widgets now have a z_index value for additional control over drawing order. (thanks to andrew-101)
- New animation system that allows for any property of a widget to be animated using the Animation and ArrayAnimation classes along with Widget.add_animation().
- The minification and magnification filters to use for Image widgets is now user settable between two possible values: BGUI_NEAREST (crisper) and BGUI_LINEAR (smoother). (thanks to SolarLune)
- Issue #25: “Image from image widget is repeated when using animated tiled textures”
- Labels now have a fixed height based on the font instead of the individual characters in the string. This makes the default ListBoxRenderer have consistent spacing between elements.
- The default color for all four corners of a Frame are now (0, 0, 0, 0) as opposed to the blue/white gradient.
- An ImageButton widget has been added.
- A simple animation system has been added that allows widgets to move over time using linear interpolation.
- The Video widget can now also play the audio from a video file if play_audio=True.
- FontSize on labels is now themeable.
- Two new utility functions for TextInput: select_all() and select_none(). (thanks to jplur)
- TextInput now supports the delete key.
- Widgets now have on_mouse_enter and on_mouse_exit callbacks.
- The system’s size now updates if the viewport size changes.
- Issue 11: Externally resetting text input contents breaks selection. (thanks to jplur)
- Widgets can now define various _handle_*() methods that match the callbacks. This allows subclasses to use callbacks without interfering with the user-defined ones.
- The themeing interface has been updated to simplify access to theme options.
- System is now a subclass of Widget to simplify code and reduce code duplication.
- Bgui now uses weakrefs to break dependency cycles and allow Python’s GC to clean up widgets. This should solve most memory leak problems with Bgui.
- Multiple Image widgets can reuse the same image file for efficiency (thanks to andrew-101)
- ListBox widget
- Image.texco is now exposed allowing for UV coordinates to be changed (thanks to jplur)
- Images would loose their “on_hover” when they were clicked on
- When removing a widget, that widget’s cleanup method is now also run
- Issue 3: Positioning of TextBlock is off when not passing BGUI_NORMALIZED
- Various TextInput improvements (thanks to jplur and Gomer)
- Updated demo (thanks to jplur)
- Moving or resizing a widget now affects it’s children
- ProgressBar widget (thanks to andrew-101)
- Widgets now support sub-themes (similar to CSS classes)
- Widgets now have an aspect option to lock the aspect ratio of the widget
- Widgets can now be “frozen” with the frozen property (thanks to Kupoman)
- Themeing supoprt and color property added to FrameButton (thanks to Kupoman)
- Newline (n) support added to TextBlock widgets
- Overflow options added to TextBlock widgets (thanks to Gomer)
- Support for a “prefix” added to TextInput widgets via a prefix property (thanks to Gomer)
- on_enter callback added to TextInput widgets
- BGUI now plays nice with “Show Physics Visualizations”
- Various OpenGL state bug fixes
- VRAM leaks from Image and Video widgets
- Mouse focus is now more “intuitive” (thanks to Gomer)
- Available usable keys for TextInput expanded (thanks to Gomer)
- Font point sizes for Labels now scale with the screen height (1000px is the baseline). This isn’t “correct” but it makes things a lot easier. This can be disabled by setting System.normalize_text = False
- TextBlock widget added for displaying multi-line text
- Image widgets now have an aspect option
- ENTERKEY added to keydefs to better match Blender
- TextInput now works a little better (no negative cursor and you can input text when you have an empty string)
- BGUI now has themeing support (for mow info go here: http://stokes.dyndns.org/redmine/projects/bgui/wiki/Theming)
- BGUI widgets could sometimes clip with scene elements
- Widgets are now stored in OrderedDicts to allow for control over z sorting
- BGUI now uses relative imports so there are less restrictions on where the module is placed
- Video widget to display videos using VideoTexture (no sound support at the moment)
- TextInput widget to get text input from the user
- Frame widget to place widgets on (can also be used as a “window”)
- BGUI can now handle keyboard input
- BGUI can now handle mouse states (NONE, CLICKED, RELEASE, ACTIVE)
- Widgets now support on_hover and on_release callbacks
- Widgets now have a visible attribute
- Color support added for Labels
- Alpha blending enabled for Images
- Drawing labels would disable textures for images
- BGUI_DEFAULT was misspelled (was BGUI_DEFUALT)
- BGUI now uses the bottom left as (0, 0) to match OpenGL

Bulma is a CSS framework. As such, the sole output is a single CSS file: bulma.css
You can either use that file, "out of the box", or download the Sass source files to customize the variables.
There is no JavaScript included. People generally want to use their own JS implementation (and usually already have one). Bulma can be considered "environment agnostic": it's just the style layer on top of the logic.

This example adapts a three.js example showing the Periodic elements. In the three.js documentation, you can find the example written for the screen: The Argon version shows the four versions of the periodic table handing in space around the user. This illustrates how three.js is used to present and manipulate 3D graphics in Argon.

okay, then no you don't have to do anything with that osx link you posted.
log into your VPS, install the dependencies, and then build for linux
Deleted User31-Aug-18 06:11 PM
the instructions say 2 VPS with 4gb of ram and 2 cpu cores each
Your seed for lite mode stores only a private key , in native mode you are complete different set of ptivate keys for each eaddress
Mc Tau31-Aug-18 07:58 PM
thanks for the great support hermes! all recovered now
Pivx implemented zerocoin protocol, and you can get a master deterministic seed to recover private coins / addresses created in the future.
Does komodo have something similar?
Hermes31-Aug-18 08:01 PM
Haven't heard of this implementation , is more or less like the Ledger implementation of one seed that holds all of your public addresses and private keys?
If you still face issues while loading the blocks please tell me exactly which is the error that you are seeing.
sbucks31-Aug-18 09:32 PM
@Hermes thanks, i claimed back on the 15th or so, was just wondering if i needed to claim again before block 1M or if i could wait til 15th of september.
Hermes31-Aug-18 09:35 PM
With 2.41d you are good to go if you will like to claim on the 15 th ,
You can also claim again before the 15th just make sure to claim at least more than .01 of rewards always .
Tac31-Aug-18 10:40 PM
With the way interest work as long as we claim the rewards is that good enough or do you actually have to send our entire balance to a new receive address?
Hermes31-Aug-18 10:45 PM
Claiming the reward is the only requirement , if you send the balance to a new receive address will also make the reward function work because it you have to spend the utxos in order to get the reward. So you can do it either way it won't change the reward.

To make any calls to your assetchain you have to build it in this way: ./komodo-cli -ac_name=%youracname% instead of ./komodo-cli(edited)

why do i have to out my name ?
i have already logged in to linnux using my username
TonyL01-Sep-18 08:30 AM
-ac_name= it's a parameter with which you start your asset chain
Name of your chain
I advice you read manual for asset chain creating carefully one more time
If you're tech illiterate as you said why you have to run your own asset chain? It maybe kinda complicated thing since some understanding what you do and for what + interaction with Linux needed

HIGH COURT OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR AT JAMMU LPAOW No. 54/2015 MP No. 01/2017 Date of order: 13.09.2017 Pritam Singh vs J&K State Pollution Control Board and ors. Coram: Hon'ble Mr Justice Alok Aradhe, Judge Hon'ble Mr Justice B. S. Walia, Judge Appearing counsel: For Petitioner/appellant(s) : Mr. Vikram Sharma, Advocate For respondent (s) : Mr. Ahtsham Bhat, GA
Heard.
Appeal is admitted to hearing.
With the consent of learned counsel for the parties, the matter is heard finally.
In this Intra Court Appeal, the appellant has assailed the validity of order dated 28.06.2017 passed by the learned Single Judge, by which writ petition preferred by the appellant has been dismissed.
When the matter was taken up today, learned counsel for the appellant has raised singular contention that the learned Single Judge has failed to appreciate that the impugned order dated 21.06.2017 was passed without issuing notice with regard to closure of the guest house of appellant in terms of section 31 (A) of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and rules framed there under. It is further submitted that appellant has already installed sewage treatment plant, which is functional. The aforesaid aspect of the matter has not been disputed by the learned counsel for the respondents. However, it is submitted that at the time of inspection, Sewage Treatment plant was not functional.
Be that as it may, the impugned order dated 21.06.2017 directing closure of guest house of the appellant has been issued without issuing notice and without affording opportunity to the appellant. The aforesaid aspect of the matter has not LPAOW No. 54 of 2017 Page 1 of 2 been appreciated by the learned Single Judge. Accordingly, impugned order passed by the learned Single Judge dated 28.06.2017 as well as order dated 21.06.2016 cannot be sustained in the eye of law. Accordingly, the same are quashed. This appeal is disposed of with a liberty to the respondents to issue notice to the appellant and afford him opportunity of hearing and thereafter pass speaking order in accordance with law.
Accordingly, the appeal is disposed of.

--- layout: post title: Llama Preview: Swift on .NET date: 2021-04-19 12:00:00 keywords: swift dotnet front llama teaser: I see the potential for Swift to feel like a good fit for .NET. ---
SourceGear.Llama.Swift.Sdk, now available on NuGet, is an MSBuild project SDK for .NET 5 that allows compiling Swift, with support for calling .NET class libraries. This blog entry is a closer look at those features.
Reminder: Llama is at the "proof of concept" stage, and is not production ready.
In my previous Llama blog entry, I walked through a simplistic implementation of "grep" in both C# and Rust. Let's revisit that sample now in Swift.
Recall that the project file for the C# version looked like this:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> <PropertyGroup> <OutputType>Exe</OutputType> <TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework> </PropertyGroup> </Project>
Using Swift, the project file ends up identical except for the first line:
<Project Sdk="SourceGear.Llama.Swift.Sdk/0.1.6"> <PropertyGroup> <OutputType>Exe</OutputType> <TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework> </PropertyGroup> </Project>
All we need is to declare a different Sdk
in the Project
element.
Just as the C# SDK finds all the *.cs
files and compiles them, the Llama Swift SDK will look for *.swift
.
For comparison purposes, here is the C# version (Program.cs):
static void run(string file, string search) { var lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(file); foreach (var s in lines) { if (s.Contains(search)) { System.Console.WriteLine(s); } } } var a = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(); try { run(a[1], a[2]); } catch (System.Exception e) { System.Console.WriteLine(e.ToString()); }
I have modified it a little bit since last time, so I can contrast certain details with Swift. It now uses the implicit main feature of C# 9, and there is a try/catch. But this version of "lousygrep" is functionally the same, a console program that takes exactly two arguments on the command line: the name of a file, and the string to search for. It reads all the lines of the file into memory, and prints the ones that contain the search string.
The Swift counterpart (Program.swift) looks like this:
import dotnet; func run(_ file : System.String, _ search : System.String) throws { let lines = try System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(file); for s in lines { if (try s.Contains(search)) { try System.Console.WriteLine(s); } } } let a = try! System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(); do { try run(a[1], a[2]); } catch let e as System.Exception { try! System.Console.WriteLine(e.ToString()); }
The Llama Swift SDK is doing everyting necessary for this project to work just like its C# counterpart.
For C#, you have two files, lousygrep.csproj
and Program.cs
.
For Swift, youhave two files, lousygrep.swiftproject
and Program.swift
.
In either case, you can just dotnet build
and dotnet run
.
$ dotnet run Program.swift sole try System.Console.WriteLine(s); try! System.Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
Compared to Rust, Swift seems to have the potential to feel like a better fit for .NET.
.NET is built heavily on classes, which Swift has, and Rust does not.
.NET makes heavy use of overloaded function names. Swift supports this as well.
Using a Swift struct to implement namespaces means that things like System.Console.WriteLine()
have the exact same name on Swift and C#.
Swift has a runtime metadata system, like .NET. There is much potential to be explored in bridging these two models.

All that said, Swift is (of course) a different language from C#, and it does some things very differently.
Almost all the diffs between Program.cs
and Program.swift
are because of the differences in how errors are handled. Swift does not support exceptions.
A C# developer looking at the Swift code above would certainly think that Swift supports exceptions. After all, we see words like "throw", "try", and "catch". But Swift is simply using the same terminology for an error handling model that isn't really exceptions. Swift's error handling does not do stack unwinding.
It is more-or-less correct to think of Swift error handling as "exceptions, but confined to a single function".
When wrapping .NET class libraries for Swift, Llama's binding generator currently makes two assumptions:
Every .NET method might throw an exception.
Every thrown exception might need to be propagated and handled.
There are probably lots of exceptions (egregious pun intended) to these two rules, but right now, this is how things are.
So the Swift bindings for the .NET class libraries present all methods with
support for Swift error propagation. This is why we see "try" in front of System.Console.WriteLine()
.
In Swift, any type can be used for throwing an error if it conforms to the protocol called Error
. For .NET developers, think of Error
as a marker interface. Llama adds this protocol conformance to its wrapping of System.Exception
, which allows the catch
in Swift to look quite pleasant IMHO:
catch let e as System.Exception { try! System.Console.WriteLine(e.ToString()); }
Swift's protocols for sequence and iterator are remarkably similar to enumerables in .NET. Llama adds these protocols when it wraps a .NET array, which is what allows us to use a for
-in
loop on the result from System.IO.File.ReadAllLines
:
let lines = try System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(file); for s in lines
I've also added support for subscripts to that array wrapper, which allows retrieving specific items from the command line args:
let a = try! System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(); do { try run(a[1], a[2]); }
But this one is a little bit problematic, since Swift subscripts currently cannot do error propagation, but the underlying item getter in .NET can throw. So if you use this subscript with an out of range index, there is no way to propagate the error. In practice, that kind of problem is typically not the sort of error one might propagate. Nonetheless, there has been discussion in the Swift community about support for subscripts that can throw, and I might want to use such a thing in a case like this.
One big challenge with Swift has been its runtime libary. Swift code depends on this for implementing reference counting and things like that. But as I mentioned above, there is support for a type metadata system, and the runtime is where that is implemented as well. The runtime is written mostly in C++ and also some Objective-C. It's not really that large, but neither is it small, and it forced me to fix a lot of Llama bugs to get it working.
And then we also have the Swift "core" library. It is written in Swift, and it is somewhat unusual in one respect: it is where basic types like Int32 are implemented. It's weird to think of Int32 as an abstraction, but I found it quite elegant once I wrapped my head around the concept. One layer below, there really is a simple 32 bit int. It's called Builtin.Int32, but normal Swift code is not allowed to see it. Also, the Builtin version of Int32 can't really do anything. Even simple operations like addition require an operator to be defined, and that operator calls thin wrappers around primitive LLVM things.
These two things together comprise the Swift standard library, which appears in the Llama Swift SDK as a .NET assembly called Swift.dll. It is made by running all the C++ and ObjC code from "runtime" through clang to get a bunch of LLVM bitcode files. And then all the Swift code from "core" is treated the same way. The resulting bunch of .bc files are then compiled by Llama into one .NET assembly. The Llama Swift SDK adds a reference to this assembly when it builds Swift projects for .NET.
All the Llama preview releases have been a bit rough, but this one is perhaps more so. My apologies. I am releasing this mostly as proof that I did it. If by chance it is a crime to compile Swift for .NET, there should be enough evidence here to convict me. But let's not expect this preview release to be useful.
You need a 5.4 prerelease version of the Swift compiler. The currently-released versons are 5.3.x, and those won't work.
In theory, everything here is cross-platform, but I have only tested the Swifty parts on Windows, so it probably doesn't work yet on Mac or Linux. In the future, it will.

Death Machine (1994) Sci-Fi. 120 minutes. (R) for violence, sex Written and Directed by Stephen Norrington. Starring: Brad Dourif, Ely Pouget, William Hootkins, John Sharian Reviewed By Michael A. Turton
You know how it is. You're drifting around the video store in which, despite a selection which dwarfs the Library of Congress, you can't find anything. You're tired of Gong Li. Some slimeball has rented _Diva_. You've seen _The Seven Samurai_ umpteen times. The pickings in the Western selection are slim. So you mosey on over to the sci-fi and lo and behold! There is _Death Machine_! Your interest piqued by the photos on the box, you pick it up........
Watching _Death Machine_ is rather like being in a car accident. Everything happens so fast, the only way you can be sure that something did indeed occur is by the wreckage strewn everywhere. The plot of this movie is incredibly simple. A mad scientist, Jack Dante (played by the increasing typecast Brad Dourif) working on a supercombat part-human machine feels betrayed by his superiors when they fire him for killing some corporate officers with his pet, so he turns his invention on them. This machine, called the "Warbeast," looks like a skeletal cross between a Tyrannosaurus rex and Freddy Krueger, and has an appetite which outstrips either. It is indestructible and unstoppable, its miles of exposed wiring and delicate computer systems impervious to massive explosions in confined spaces. When it really gets fired up, the creature clicks its claws and spins its head back and forth, creating moments of unintentional humor in the middle of some rather touch-and-go scenes for the characters.
The film takes place inside the labrynthine complex where Dante works among his machines and computers. Bet you can't name ten other movies in which people in claustrophobic spaces are hunted by psychotic monsters! The sets were so full of odd corners, piping, wires, sealed doors and thick metal walls that they looked like leftovers from the _The Poseidon Adventure_, gussied up with shiny metal-and-plastic fittings to make them appear appropriately futuristic. The producers obviously could not afford expensive effects, so models were opted for in certain scenes. In my view, they should have waited until they had saved the money to cover the gap. I'll skip the obligatory gripe about Hollywood's inability to make a decent sci-fi film with so many wonderful books to choose from.
This film went by in a blur and it is hard to say what happened or why. Not that it matters much. At some point one of the men who went in with Dante's boss, Cale (Ely Pouget) puts on a fighting suit and becomes a robotic superman who fights with the Warbeast by punching it on its metal snout (no, I'm not kidding). Why not just pull the wiring out or poke a thick hydraulic finger into an on-board computer? It has all the usual flaws of action movies: actors who check their talents at the door, guns which never need reloading, injured people performing acts of superhuman strength and plot holes big enough to float the Seventh Fleet, complete with a psycho muttering the required cliched nonsense as self-justification. It really should come with a disclaimer: SOME SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF REQUIRED.
Despite its gaping flaws there is a certain compelling power to the film's furious pace, weird sets and comic book action. In more subtle directing hands and with a better script it might even have attained the minor cult film status it is so desperately yearning for. This movie isn't quite good enough to rent, but if it ever comes on late night TV and you're a little too tired to search for the remote, then it's worth a look.

Weeks 1 & 2: Prologue.
I am writing this post retroactively because my COVID Diaries adventure began during week 3 of my quarantine. Being as I have a strong desire for order and consistency, I could not let these posts start at week 3. It just felt wrong and has been bothering me, so here we are. As I write this, I am in the middle of week 6. The only reason I know that is because of these posts. I thought I’d summarize a bit of what weeks one and two looked like for me and, if I can, provide some visualizations as well.
My first week of quasi-quarantine coincided with the first anticipated week of Spring Break. This was, in large part, a week of canceled plans. My roommates and I were supposed to go to New Orleans and I had St Patrick’s Day tickets to a Blackhawks vs. Wild hockey game where I was looking forward to getting beat up for supporting Chicago in my Toews jersey. But, alas, that was all scrapped and the only plans I did keep were to go “up north” (as they say in Minnesota) with my girlfriend, Gillian. We thought there would be very few people hiking on trails that were either covered in inches of ice and snow and somehow we were right.
Here’s our path:
We went hiking four state parks, spent one night in Grand Marais at a The Hungry Hippie Hostel, and then crossed the border into Ontario (because why not?) and hiked some more. While this wasn’t exactly a quarantine, we practiced social distancing and didn’t come in contact with others aside from a couple of meals. At this point, the virus was not as pervasive in the US as it is now. If it were, this trip likely would not have happened.
When we got back to Minnesota, we made a big trip to Costco which was out of eggs, toilet paper, milk, and other essentials, dropped half of it off at my house (including a 20lb bag of rice), and went back to Gillian’s apartment to start the real lock-down of quarantine – the plan being for me to stay with her until my roommates had been done working outside of the house for two weeks.
We watched a lot of Netflix, ate a lot of grilled cheese, and went on a lot of walks, trying to walk around a different lake every day. Eventually our living situation shifted. If you’re curious about that, I made a post about it.
Quarantining is a struggle. It’s an abnormal way to live and while it’s less than ideal, writing these “diaries” each week has been a useful way for me to reflect on this challenging time and be a little more intentional with my actions. As I write this, I am weeks away from my virtual “graduation ceremony” and my mom’s restructured at-home wedding. We’re ordering groceries online, wearing masks over our faces, and coveting Purell like it’s liquid gold. Times are strange.
I’ll leave you with my co-star horoscope of the day:
“Your work this month is to understand the difference between feeling truly alive and being constantly in danger.”
I’m not really sure what to do with that.

Hamilton expects to sort out new F1 contract soon
by Mauricio Savarese, The Associated PressSAO PAULO -- Six-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton said Thursday he hopes to sort out his next contract soon, but he's not in any rush.
The 34-year-old British driver's deal with Mercedes is valid until the end of 2020.
Speaking before the Brazilian Grand Prix, Hamilton said he doesn't see a reason to stop racing anytime soon.
"It's nice to be wanted. So hopefully soon we'll get that sorted," the driver said about future contract negotiations.
"I have obviously considered the next couple of years and naturally I know that I want to continue racing," Hamilton added. "But in terms of the 'future future' I have not planned absolutely everything."
The British driver said he and Mercedes are "tied to the hip", which doesn't mean he has concrete decisions for his future on the grid.
"(But) there's no real stress, our word is our bond and has been all these years," Hamilton said about his relationship with Mercedes, his partner since age 13. "All that detail can take its time."
The F1 champion also said he hopes to keep working with Mercedes' team principal Toto Wolff, who reportedly is considering leaving the team.
"That is important for me, so I'm waiting also to see where he is, where his head is at," the driver said. "I don't particularly want him to leave if I'm staying in the sport. But ultimately that is going to be his choice."
Wolff is not in Brazil for the race at Interlagos, a first miss for him since he and Hamilton joined the Mercedes in 2013.

Australia wins first Test by an innings and five runs
by The New DailyFirst Test, day four, Gabba, Brisbane
First innings: Pakistan 240, Australia 580
Second innings Pakistan 335
Australia has won the first Test at the Gabba by an innings and five runs, seeing off a Pakistan rearguard action on the fourth day.
Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan had steadyed the ship before Australia regained the momentum late in the afternoon session.
Azam notched 104 before falling caught behind to Nathan Lyon, while Rizwan fell just short of his maiden century, holing out to Nathan Lyon off the bowling of Josh Hazlewood.
Pakistan were 5-155 at lunch after earlier looking like collapse was imminent before Babar and Rizwan came together for a 132 run partnership.
Lyon, working on a pitch that has not offered a lot for his spin, varied his pace and Babar gave a slight edge to Tim Paine soon after the afternoon drinks break.
Rizwan then took up the cudgels, pushing his to 95, the highest score for a Pakistan wicketkeeper in Australia.
Yasir Shah chipped in for a handy 42 before being caught by Matthew Wade off the bowling of Hazlewood, who finished with 4-63.
Australia started the day seven wickets away from taking a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series, with Pakistan resuming at 3-64.
The home side struck when Pakistan was in the 90s, with Pat Cummins removing Shaan Masood, who tried to hook and was caught behind by Tim Paine for 42.
Soon after Josh Hazlewood had Iftikhar Ahmed caught behind for a four-ball duck.
Lyon toiled most of the day without luck but told Channel Seven at lunch that he was seeing a bit in the pitch.

Cummins’ wicket also came from an edge, although his ball that angled across Asad Shafiq was much more difficult for the batsman to negotiate.
“The process here is quite simple,” Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne said when asked of Sunday’s plans.
Keep bashing the wicket – it looks like Nathan (Lyon) is getting some spin out there, especially to the leftie.
“There’s little bit of up and down so, hopefully, we can get a few hitting in the cracks and staying low.”
Australia has been thrilled at the return to form of David Warner who hit his first century since the ball-tampering ban, while Joe Burns locked himself in as his opening partner.
Labuschagne has also solved the problem of No.3 having knocked off his first Test century on Saturday with an impressive 185.
Matthew Wade also hit a half-century, with Travis Head and Steve Smith the only men in the top six to miss out.
Indeed, given the only batsman of note to fail in Brisbane was the World No.1 Steve Smith – who fell for only four – the home side will be feeling confident that there’s plenty of batting improvement to come.
That Smith failed, and Australia still soared, is a thrilling development for coach Justin Langer. Indeed, it was the first time since the 2014 Boxing Day Test that an Australian side featuring Smith passed 300 without the star batsman making double figures.
Captain Tim Paine spoke last week of the need for others to stand up, admitting the Aussies relied too heavily on the man dubbed “the best since Bradman” in the Ashes.
“Steve is an amazing player but there are some amazing players in that line up,” Labuschagne said.
“The way Wadey came out and played and the way Davey and Joe played day two, you can’t ask for a better start for your openers.
“They really took the sting out of the attack and allowed the guys batting at No.4, five and six to capitalise.”
Labuschagne has at times been compared to Smith for his mannerisms. He fidgets like him, regularly played with the bails while batting on Saturday and even uses the Star Wars lightsaber leave.
“I have been doing that for a long time before I played, but the boys will say otherwise,” Labuschagne said.
I’m quite a visual learner, so subconsciously maybe. What better person to copy than the guy who averages 64.”
