Build TCP/IP packet from scratch by ruby , and send syn(or whatever you want) packet
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# Full Contol on Ethnet, IP & TCP headers. Play with it ;)
# to test it: nc -lvp 4444
# as root: tcpdump -nvvvv 'tcp port 4444' -i wlan0 # change wlan0 to your interface
# or use packetfu to monitor as tcpdump
## cap = PacketFu::Capture.new(:iface => 'wlan0' , :promisc=> true)
## cap.show_live(:filter => 'tcp and port 4444')
# libpcap should be installed
# gem install pcaprub packetfu

How to use csv.DictReader even when you're dealing with shitty data and header row names are duplicated. First you have to make an array of unique header names and tell the DictReader to use that instead of the first row of the file.
anus = reader(open('bullshit_file.csv','rU'))
fieldnames = []
# Read the first row of the csv file and put all the values into a list. Duplicates will not be overwritten.
for headername in anus.next():
if headername not in fieldnames:
fieldnames.append(headername)
else:
fieldnames.append(headername + " Other")

This is my default career advice for people starting out in geo/GIS, especially remote sensing, adapted from a response to a letter in 2013.

I'm currently about to start a Geography degree at the University of [Redacted] at [Redacted] with a focus in GIS, and I've been finding that I have an interest in working with imagery. Obviously I should take Remote Sensing and other similar classes, but I'm the type of person who likes to self learn as well. So my question is this: What recommendations would you give to a student who is interested in working with imagery? Are there any self study paths that you could recommend?

I learned on my own and on the job, and there are a lot of important topics in GIS that I don’t know anything about, so I can’t give comprehensive advice. I haven’t arrived anywhere; I’m just ten minutes ahead in the convoy we’re both in. Take these recommendations critically.

Find interesting people. You’ll learn a lot more from a great professor (or mentor, or friend, or conference) o

Basecamp is under network attack (DDoS)

Basecamp was under network attack

The attack detailed below has stopped (for the time being) and almost all network access for almost all customers have been restored. We're keeping this post and the timeline intact for posterity. Unless the attack resumes, we'll post a complete postmortem within 48 hours (so before Wednesday, March 26 at 11:00am central time).

Criminals have laid siege to our networks using what's called a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) starting at 8:46 central time, March 24 2014. The goal is to make Basecamp, and the rest of our services, unavailable by flooding the network with bogus requests, so nothing legitimate can come through. This attack was launched together with a blackmail attempt that sought to have us pay to avoid this assault.

Note that this attack targets the network link between our servers and the internet. All the data is safe and sound, but nobody is able to get to it as long as the attack is being successfully executed. This is like a bunch of people

How I created my twitter bots
First, I should say that I had help. I have a lovely friend and I'm not sure whether or not she'd want to be mentioned here, but she was there for me when I ran into headaches. This was a HECK of a lot of work to do on a Windows machine. I understand it's easier on Mac.
I created the bot using the scripts at this repository:

I worked with these two tutorials to get me through the process when I got stuck:

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

This mini-rant came on the heels of an interesting twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/591074055018582016
