天貓魔盒：解決“廣電局”封殺第三方軟件，再安裝軟件的方法！

最近天貓魔盒更新後，把全部第三方軟件給封殺（刪除）了，例如電視家，電視貓，CIBN 等等。
而且想要安裝回去也不能，即使從U盤安裝也沒辦法。


其實方法很簡單。只要將天貓魔盒重置還原系統到購買時第一次使用的樣子就可以了。這方法也能解決由於使用時候長，影響使用的速度或是一些軟體安裝出錯也可以使用這個方法來解決。

系統還原後，再從U盤（usb） 安裝第三方直播軟件就可以了。

方法1：可以開機情況下恢復出廠設置

1.      

在天貓魔盒內操作都是使用遙控器操作的。這個遙控器比較簡單，關機，主頁，上下左右，播放/暫停，返回，音量鍵下面我在操作的時候會說出來些鍵在什麼時候按。

2.      

進入天貓魔盒的首頁。使用【左鍵】移動到【系統設置】再按【播放/暫停】。

3.      

在這個介面下就可以看到【還原出廠狀態】移動到此處按【播放/暫停】。

4.      

此時會提示你是不是要還原到出廠狀態，移動到【確認還原】按【播放/暫停】。此時會關機自動還原到出廠狀態。這個過程大概需要兩分鐘左右。

注意：你之前輸入將會不見，需要重新輸入。例如 WIFI 密碼。

方法2：不可開機的情況下恢復出廠設置

1.   

把天貓魔盒翻過來看下面有recover重置小孔，用一個小針在斷電狀態下按住recover小孔不放，然後插上電源，此時電源指示燈是不亮的。然後放開按住recover孔內的小針藍燈開始閃爍，天盒魔就開始開始清理和重置，等著燈常亮藍燈的就時候就還原好了。

Cryptocurrency GUI miner and Mining Pool

My colleague recommend me to do bitcoin mining via this site:
https://en.minergate.com/

 

I go to the site and sign up:

 

After signing up, it asks for download. But before downloading, I go to 2-steps verification  for security and protection:

 

I was required to install Google Authenticator for the verification. 

Follow this link if you want to install Google Authentication on mobile phone:

After the verification, I go to download:

 

Firefox: Open Links to Children Tabs (work for all versions)

With Tree Style Tab extension installed, I was able to open links to new children tabs. The version of Firefox I was using then was 38.

Unfortunately, this function won't work anymore after the Firefox upgrading to version 42. When I clicked on a link while doing search, it opened in the tab itself instead of switching to a child tab.

Tabs are very useful especially when we do a lot of search work on the browser, and the Tree Style Tab will help greatly. Tabs browsing enables us to easily organize pages. Tabs can be moved in Firefox, so we can rearrange the pages based on their importance.

After some research on the Internet, I found the solution:

Solution 1:

Hold down "Ctrl" and click a link to open it in a new tab.

Solution 2:

Make Firefox automatically switch to newly opened tabs by opening the "Options" window, clicking "General" and then enabling the "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" option.

If the solution 2 not working and you want  open link in new tab automatically, go to

solution 3:

Step 1: Type "about:config" in the URL bar and enter, accept the warning message.

Step 2: Search "browser.search.openintab" and double click on the result to change the value from "false" to "true"

Step 3: Search "browser.link.open_newwindow", change the value from 3 (as usually) to 1.

Step 4: Restart the browser and you should be able to open links to new tabs now.

If solution 4 still not working, then you have to install addon:
Open Link in New Tab
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-link-in-new-tab/?src=search

Above are all the solution I have that work for me. Hope you can solve your problem too.

Reaver hack WPA solve: failed to associated error solve: switching channel error

Terminal will be empty. Now we'll start our main tutorial. Enter in Terminal:

airmon-ng start wlan0

The wlan0 refers to your WiFi device. If you have one, you will enter wlano. However if you have one external and want to use that for hacking then simply enter wlan1. The following screen will appear:

  Did you notice I highlighted the mon0. This you have to keep in mind. Now  enter,

airodump-ng mon0

Replace mon0 with your's. However, in most cases it's the same. The following windows will appear.

Now we'll understand the windows:

BSSID: Simply, it shows the address of the WiFi network.

Beacons: In this tutorial, we need a lot more beacons. Make sure during hacking you are sitting close to your router. The more rate of increasing beacons the better.

ENC: Encryption of WiFi network. For the purpose of this tutorial, only WPA/WPA2 would work. WEP will not!

Select your preferred WiFi network and in terminal press Ctrl+C. Now copy the BSSID corresponding to your selected WiFi network. (I am chosing PTCL-BB-z and so it's corresponding BSSID is C8:3A:35:3C:EE:39). 

Now enter the following in the Terminal:

reaver -i mon0 -b (your bssid) -vv

 Press Enter. Hacking will start. Reaver will send PIN number to your router. The router will accept only correct PIN (it's located at the back of your router) and will then send the WiFi passkey to the Reaver as WPA PSK (in terminal). You have to copy the numbers after the PSK and this is your password. This process can take couple of hours. So make sure you are a hobbyist!

Fixing Reaver's "Failed to Associate ESSID" on Ubuntu 14.04+

My negligence, I was able to reproduce this error on Trusty Tahr and above versions. The error is caused because of some libraries which have been updated to newer version and Reaver doesn't supports them. However, this error is not due to the kernel and can be easily fixed by downgrading those libraries to the version Reaver actually supports. Follow the steps below. The below command lines are for 64-bit PC, so if you have 32-bit PC please replace amd64 with i386. Alright then.....

Reaver, known for its ability to hack WPS WiFi connections, produced sever bug i.e. "Failed to Associate with ESSID (null)" on Ubuntu 14.04 and onward making it impossible to be used for penetration testing.
However, this error has finally been fixed and was due to incompatible new libraries that were came installed with Trusty Tahr and was not due to new kernel.
Thus, this error can be finally fixed by just downgrading the new libraries to the version Reaver actually supports. Please note that any software that relies on those new libraries will not work after the downgrade. I faced no system errors after downgrading and everything is running smoothly as before!
I'll split this post into two parts, one for 64-bit PC's (amd64) and other for 32-bit PC's (i386).

For amd64 PC's...

Firstly, we need to download the libraries that have to be downloaded. To achieve this, fire up terminal and execute the following command:

wget http://ftp.tku.edu.tw/Linux/LinuxMint/latest/build/pool/main/libp/libpcap/libpcap0.8_1.4.0-2_amd64.deb

After the libraries are downloaded, execute the following command to commence downgrade and installation:

sudo dpkg -i libpcap0.8_1.4.0-2_amd64.deb libpcap0.8-dev_1.4.0-2_amd64.deb

Fixed! Enjoy reaver and hacking!

For i386 PC's...

Fire up terminal and execute the following command. This will download the downgraded libraries.

wget http://ftp.tku.edu.tw/Linux/LinuxMint/latest/build/pool/main/libp/libpcap/libpcap0.8_1.4.0-2_i386.deb

After download, execute the following command to commence installation:

sudo dpkg -i libpcap0.8_1.4.0-2_i386.deb libpcap0.8-dev_1.4.0-2_i386.deb

Fixed! 

Fixed to always switching channel error:

 

reaver -i mon0 -b 14:D6:4D:24:77:8E -a -S -N -c 11 -vv

11 is channel number

Ubuntu 14.04 安装 Google 拼音输入法

把系统升级成了最新的14.04。升级完发现惯用的输入法木有了，郁闷。尝试了一下Ibus拼音，完全不会用了。出来的东西怎么和我想要的差那么远。还是装回Google拼音吧。

sudo apt-get install ibus-googlepinyin

装完后需要注销再登录一次或者重启。然后才能在输入法列表里面添加GooglePinyin：

如果找不到，用 ibus-setup
