Automatically generate gallery with llgal

LLGAL (llgal) is an tool which can automatically generate gallery on your website. llgal is handy if you want to generate photo album out of photos organized in directories/folders.

Running llgal from the console is easy as typing the llgal command at the root directory of your photos.

llgal --exif --li -L -R --title "Album Name" --sx 960 --sy 720 --tx 250 --ty 150

In Ubuntu, the gallery’s theme is located in “/usr/share/llgal/” directory and my customized theme which supports mobile phone can be downloaded here: llgal.zip (mobile enabled)

Personally, i use llgal to generate cctv tiles automatically on my Ubuntu server from which my TP-LINK NC450 and NC250 IP camera uploads through its FTP functions when it detects movements/motion.

 

Installation

llgal can be installed on Ubuntu by running this command

apt -y install llgal

Alternatively you can compile and install llgal directly from its repository

Download Wordlist for dictionary attack

Crackstation wordlist is one of the most (if not the most) comprehensive wordlist which can be used for the purpose of dictionary -attack on passwords.

The wordlist comes in two flavors:

  1. Full wordlist (GZIP-compressed (level 9). 4.2 GiB compressed. 15 GiB uncompressed)
  2. Human-password only wordlist (GZIP-compressed. 247 MiB compressed. 684 MiB uncompressed)

Personally, I’ve already downloaded the full wordlist via torrent, and tested it against few PDF files (using pdfcrack) and UNIX password cracking (using John), all my test cases were successful. In my opinion, the wordlist is comprehensive for my need.

Since it looked like it took a significant effort to compile this wordlist, I rather advocate those who are interested to donate/buy the wordlist from: https://crackstation.net/buy-crackstation-wordlist-password-cracking-dictionary.htm

Cracking PDF file with PDFCrack in Linux

I’ve come across an PDF which was sent to my email from an automated banking system. Unfortunately, the PDF file is encrypted and I’ve no way of knowing the password (or actually I’ve forgotten the password).

Fortunately, my Ubuntu box comes with application which allows me to crack the PDF file within a reasonable time.

Using ‘pdfcrack’ to crack PDF file

You need to install pdfcrack to crack pdf file. In Ubuntu/Debian system, you simply need to run

sudo apt-get -y install pdfcrack

Then for actual cracking, you can run

pdfcrack -n5 -m10 encrypted.pdf

Where -n [minimum length] to brute-force, and -m [maximum length] to brute-force.

pdfcrack can also accept a file input containing list of words (dictionary attack). For dictionary-attack just run

pdfcrack --wordlist=dictionary.txt encrypted.pdf
