Rationale

Python 2 is deprecated and you should no longer use it. However, many older tools (especially hacking and pentesting tools) are written in Python 2 and have not yet been or will never be updated to Python 3. So, until new tools have replaced the old ones in the year 9001, we need a way to run the old tools on an otherwise current Linux distribution.

How to Enable Secure Boot in Red Hat Cockpit on Arch Linux

I recently tried Red Hat Cockpit for the first time, because I wanted a more modern alternative to Virtual Machine Manager.

Since I'm on Arch Linux, I had to do some extra tweaking to get everything to work, but in the end I got a working Windows 10 VM with Secure Boot enabled - great!

After following the setup instructions for KVM, QEMU and libvirt on the Arch Wiki I installed cockpit as well as cockpit-machines and made sure that my user was a member of the libvirt group.

Next, I started the core services:

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	# quick and dirty script to decode hashcat's "HEX[...]" results
	# tested with German passwords, YMMV
	# knowledge stolen from <https://sensepost.com/blog/2020/nthashes-and-encodings/>

	if [ $# -eq 0 ]
	then
	echo "usage: ./dehex.sh FILE"
	exit

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	# Fakesnip: A pseudo-ksnip for Sway, based on `grim` and `slurp` — because we love the screenshot editing power of ksnip, but it does not have real Wayland + Sway support yet.


	# Usage:
	#
	# Place this script in a location of your choosing, such as `~/.config/sway/scripts/`.
	# Then, add the following to your Sway config:
	#

	fileviewer <image/*>
	\ visualpreview image %pw %ph %px %py %c %N
	\ %pc
	\ visualpreview clear

	fileviewer <video/*>
	\ visualpreview video %pw %ph %px %py %c %N
	\ %pc
	\ visualpreview clear
