GNU nmap on Mac OSX

This evening I had to check if a machine, the home network, had an active service, without thinking twice I opened my terminal and I type inseparable:

sudo nmap-sS-v-P0-O Tegenaria

instead of the usual reports I get: sudo

: nmap: command not found

Mac and I'm on my boxcutter Swiss network. Never mind, nmap is Open Source and licensed under the GNU GPL ... then we can do is download the source code and recompile it on Mac OS X.

The following is a simple procedure to be adopted ... clearly the prerequisites described in the first part of the post on how to install GNU Midnight Commander is supposed to have already been met otherwise, rileggetevi the post.

• insicure.org and point your browser to go to the download page :
• download the latest source of nmap
  
• xvjf nmap-4.53.tar.bz2 tar-cd nmap-
• 4:53
• . / Configure - without-nmapfe
  
• make sudo make install

At this point the installation is complete GNU nmap, nmap-V typing get something like:

Nmap version 4:53 (http://insecure.org)

Finally I can use the boxcutter:)



that's all folks! As usual, it takes longer to write than to do it.

discs under control with Disk Inventory X GNU Midnight Commander

One of the problems you have with the modern computer is checking the disk space occupied by files and programs. The media then we have become accustomed to increasingly large file sizes and even larger drives fill up easily.
What happens is that very often we can not have real control of what is on our records. My MacBook has a 150 GByte disk and use it for about a year, a few days ago I saw that the disk space was "only" 7Gbyte.
So I started looking for a program, of course, open source, freeware or shareware, which could solve the problem and I found Disk Inventory X .



This program allows you to have a visual idea of \u200b\u200bthe employment situation of the disc via a simple and intuitive graphical display that allows you to browse files and directories. After the first "round" I have recovered about 30GByte ... not bad!

The program is Open Source licensed under the GNU GPL and you can download here . Once you download the file to access the image file, you drag the icon Disk Inventory X.app applications. Finish installation:) ps

reading the site I discovered that there is a similar Windows program called WinDirStat and an equivalent for Linux called KDirStat . Of course they're all free and licensed under the GNU GPL. If you like to take with you which applications are loyal to a USB stick, or like I do on my iPod will tell you that there is also a Windows version Portable " that you can download from the project site winPenPack . Mac for the application is already in "Portable .

Even today this is it folks.

and the next ... given an au resets your hard disk.
