The Secret History of Hacking

I bumped onto this during dinner. It is a good one to watch.

Sublime Text 2 Monokai Theme on Android Studio

I had it changed on Windows, so I figured I'd have it change here on Kali Linux too. Here are the steps:

Download the Sublime Monokai Theme (.zip)
        from https://github.com/y3sh/Intellij-Colors-Sublime-Monokai

Import the downloaded file. File -> import settings -> and select the Monokai-Sublime.jar

Change to the Darcula theme at Settings - Appearance

Select SublimeMonokai scheme for font at Settings - Editor - Colors and Fonts

Select the Consolas Font at Settings - Editor - Colors and Fonts - Font and set the font size to 15


This is how it looks:

adb issues on Kali Linux

I've setup Kali Linux on my laptop for a while, trying to get used to the whole Linux environment.
No more windows.

After re-installing Android Studio, I wanted to get to work quickly and try to fire up a hello world app.
However, when I plugged in my Lenovo, it was not detected automatically. Running adb devices gives me this:

List of devices attached
????????????    no permissions

Luckily found a fix.

This is what I did. I created a file named /tmp/android.rules with the following contents:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0e79", MODE="0666"

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="091e", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0930", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="19d2", MODE="0666"

and then ran
sudo cp /tmp/android.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo chmod 644   /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo chown root. /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo service udev restart
sudo killall adb

Adding to environment PATH in Linux

To add any application binaries to PATH, modify the application folder path.

    export PATH=$PATH:/opt/apps
    export PATH=$PATH:/home/bin
    export PATH=$PATH:/home/raf/Android/Sdk/platform-tools

 To see what's in PATH, use
          echo $PATH
