ralphbean / simple_file_completer.py
Created November 12, 2012 18:28
Half-working filename tab-completer. Play with it--it mostly works, but you have to help it along more than you're used to at the command line.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import readline
import os
import re
import sys
# This will tab-complete from the working directory, starting from /, and going
# through the sub-directories, but it doesn't behave quite the way you expect.
# For instance, it chooses for you if there are two partial matches.

Try connecting to a netcat instance with scapy on port 9001
#!/usr/bin/env python
# The above line indicates that this is a python script.
# Author: Ralph Bean <[email protected]>
# This line imports python objects from the scapy module
from scapy.all import sendp, TCP, IP
# Can we get scapy to talk with netcat?

ralphbean / oblivious_publisher.py
Created December 10, 2012 17:49
A publisher that isn't aware of the subscriber to which it connects.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import zmq
context = zmq.Context()
publisher = zmq.Socket(zmq.PUB)
# Say I normally have a passive subscriber listening on 9876.
# In the event that that process crashes, and there is nothing listening at
# 9876, I would like to raise an exception/be notified. Can I check for that?
