This example uses The HTTPie CLI to query the Supply Chain Threat Intelligence API provided by Checkmarx.

Install HTTPie
provide your Threat Intel API token as an environment variable THREAT_INTEL_API_TOKEN
run the command above

Name, type, and version are required for the query; modify these for future queries, or make them variables.

NOTE

The Problem

You're happly running a desktop X11 session as user anne; but you want to be able to run an X11 application in that session as bob, but wehn you try to do this you get:

X-Server access is denied on host

The solution

NOTE the cron command scheduler is considered deprecated by Apple, in favor of using Launch Agents along with launchd. There is a decent launchd tutorial at launchd.info if you want to do that instead.

Give `cron` full disk access

Cron jobs usually need to work outside of the macOS "sandbox", accessing scripts and files across the filesystem. macOS supports Unix filesystem permissions, but there's an additional safety gate that's evaluated

NB: these instructions are for Ubuntu; they work under WSL on Windows 10 as well

Get the decrypt.sh file from here: https://github.com/zhangyoufu/unifi-backup-decrypt

Make sure prerequisites are installed:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install zip unzip openssl mongo-tools

Installation

mkdir -p ~/.config && touch ~/.config/ssh-agent.pid
Paste the contents of ssh-agent-manage.sh into your .bashrc or .bash_profile or similar
killall -9 ssh-agent
Start a new terminal session (note: old sessions will not see ssh-agent, only new ones)

Details

This snippet, when included in .bashrc, will ensure that your session has a working ssh-agent with all your ssh keys loaded into it. It does this without creating separate ssh-agent processes by:

Running BurpSuite on a HiDPI display, and that makes the interface window tiny and unreadable?

Just set the _JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable so that it includes -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2

On Linux, you can edit the BurpSuiteCommunity executable shell script wherever it's been installed, to include the following line near the top (below the #! line, though!):

export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2"

	#!env zsh
	## if `env` is not in your path, change the above to point to
	## the absolute path of `env` on your system; often `/usr/bin/env`
	for mkv in *.mkv ; do
	mp4="${mkv%.mkv}.mp4"
	echo -n "'$mkv' => '$mp4'"
	if [[ -f "$mp4" ]]; then
	echo " [SKIPPED] (MP4 already exists)"
	continue
	fi

	#!/usr/bin/env bash
	set -euo pipefail

	## encrypted files; script will create this. Put in a synced folder
	ENCRYPTED_FOLDER="~/Dropbox/encrypted"

	## mountpoint; script will create this. Should stay empty when not mounted!
	## DO NOT PUT THIS IN A SYNCED FOLDER - DOING SO WILL SYNC UNENCRYPTED DATA
	MOUNTPOINT="~/.local/cloudmount/Dropbox-Encrypted"

	# usage: `ip4 HOSTNAME`
	alias ip4='perl -MSocket -e '\''$pack=gethostbyname($ARGV[0]); print inet_ntoa($pack)'\'''
