kandi X-RAY | physmem Summary

physmem is a C library typically used in Testing, Security Testing applications. physmem has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

physmem is a physical memory inspection tool and local privilege escalation targeting macOS up through 10.12.1. It exploits either CVE-2016-1825 or CVE-2016-7617 depending on the deployment target. These two vulnerabilities are nearly identical, and exploitation can be done exactly the same. They were patched in OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 and macOS Sierra 10.12.2, respectively. Because these are logic bugs, exploitation is incredibly reliable. I have not yet experienced a panic in the tens of thousands of times I've run a program (correctly) exploiting these vulnerabilities.

QUESTION

Different aspect of an earlier question: Why doesn't test for existence of Docker working does not work when run from geek_scripts?

Asked 2019-Jul-23 at 16:39

I have three scripts: mysql_monitor.sh, sip_monitor.sh, and check_docker.sh that each perform some test and show a message where the status is 'red' if not there and 'green' if not. These scripts are in another script called newmain.bash that is run inside a geek_scripts shell. If I run newmain.bash from the command line, then it detects if Docker is running or not, and puts the correct colors and highlighting on each of them. However, when it runs from the geek_scripts shell, it does not detect that Docker is running or not, always saying it is not running. Further, only the mysql_monitor.sh colors are correct. The others are NOT highlighted, but are muted.

Here are the scripts:

I found that the use of $? worked when I was running the check_docker.sh from the command line, but not when it was running inside another script run by Geek Tool. I took the advice I found in another question about using variables in if, then, else scripts and changed the check_docker.sh to read:

QUESTION

CPU usage reporting in terminal

Asked 2019-Jun-06 at 20:00

I am trying to get the CPU usage of a mac over time.

I am using this top cmd in terminal getting the result i want but would like it to output to a file and update every 5 seconds.

top -l 1 | grep -E "^CPU|^Phys"

CPU usage: 3.27% user, 14.75% sys, 81.96% idle PhysMem: 5807M used (1458M wired), 10G unused.

QUESTION

removing header from top output

Asked 2017-Sep-15 at 08:12

I want to write some process data to a file. To do this, I'm choosing to use top. I want to monitor several processes and plot a graph of their performance overtime.

I'm using Mac OS 10.12. I don't think there's an easy way to get the version number.

right now I have the command: top -l 2 -n 5 -o mem | awk '{ printf("%-8s %-12s %-6s %-6s\n", $1, $2, $3, $8); }'

which results in the following output:
