Mars Landing Special: Aug 5th 10PM PDT

Mars Landing Special: Aug 5th 10PM PDT:

Think space exploration ended with the space shuttle? Come with us to Mars!



On August 5th at 10 PM Pacific/1 AM Eastern, Jonathan Strickland (HowStuffWorks.com) and I will bring you an hour of coverage of the Curiosity Rover's crazy attempt to land on Mars via a sky crane.

We'll have reports from expert guests, like Dr. Kiki (who I hear will be inside Ames!) and the Bad Astronomer, Phil Plait. We'll hear from Steve Sell, JPL Entry/Descent/Landing team member and Sky Crane specialist, about why this whole thing isn't as crazy as it sounds, how it's going to work, and the tech they'll use to make it happen.

The Scoop



On Sunday August 5th at 1:31 AM eastern time/10:31 PM Pacific NASA expects to receive the first signals from the Mars Curiosity Rover on the surface of Mars. The Mars Science Laboratory Mission will explore terrain at the foot of a mountain of sedimentary material inside Gale crater. It's looking for evidence of microbial life.

NASA is attempting the most complex remote landing sequence ever attempted, involving a parachute and a sky crane. It takes 14 minutes for signals to travel from Mars to Earth. From the top of the atmosphere to landing, the descent will take 7 minutes. From the time the first signal arrives on Earth that descent has begun, the Curiosity Rover will have been on the surface of Mars for at least seven minutes, crashed or not.

If you haven't watched "Seven minutes of terror" yet, by all means do so. The landing logistics are insane.

How do I create a new git branch from an old commit and checkout it?
git checkout -b <name> <oct>

Checkout file from previous commit

First get the file back from one commit before:

git checkout HEAD~1 path/to/file.ext
Then commit it:

git commit -a -m 'Retrieved file from older revision'
If only the changes to that file where present in the last commit, you can even use git-revert:

git revert HEAD
I think it would be better to make this a separate commit, because it tells you exactly what you've reverted, and why. However, you can squash this into the previous commit by using the --amend switch to git-commit.

Checkout a remote branch without locally created
git checkout -t origin/branch
or
git fetch origin
git checkout -b test origin/test

Check files on disk
git fsck-objects --full


To see the changes between the working directory and the index. This shows what has been changed, but is not staged for a commit.

git diff

To see the changes between the index and the HEAD(which is the last commit on this branch). This shows what has been added to the index and staged for a commit.

git diff --cached

To see all the changes between the working directory and HEAD (which includes changes in the index). This shows all the changes since the last commit, whether or not they have been staged for commit or not.

git diff HEAD

To view only the difference in patch mode
git format-patch branch1..branch2

to make a single patch use:
git format-patch branch1..branch2 --stdout > my_new_patch.diff
and apply
git am < my_new_patch.diff


To squash all commits since you branched away from master, do
git rebase -i master

Check open ports on Ubuntu Linux

One may want to check open ports on Ubuntu to ensure that there are no services listening that shouldn't be. If we remember, a port is what an application will use to communicate with another application, provide a service, etc. To get an idea of what services are running on a system, we would need to check the open ports on the system.

It is easy for us to install a program which provides a service and then forget about it, so we may have our machine listening on a number of ports waiting for incoming connections. Attackers love when ports are open, as the applications listening on these ports are the easiest targets. In order to ensure that our Ubuntu Linux system (or any other system for that matter) is as secure as possible, we need to be aware of what ports are open and providing what services.

In the tutorial below, we will look at how to check open ports on Ubuntu or other versions of Linux.

Checking open ports on Ubuntu

To check which ports are open on our Ubuntu box, we can issue the command shown below. Note that this should also work for other flavours of Linux as long as they have netstat installed.

Run the following in a terminal:

netstat -anltp | grep "LISTEN"

The typical web server which runs FTP, SSH, and MySQL will have output like:

tcp     0   0 127.0.0.1:3306    0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN   21432/mysqld
tcp     0   0 0.0.0.0:80        0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN   4090/apache2
tcp     0   0 0.0.0.0:22        0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN   7213/sshd
tcp6    0   0 :::21             :::*        LISTEN   19023/proftpd
tcp6    0   0 :::22             :::*        LISTEN   7234/sshd

What the above command does is run the netstat utility with the appropriate flags, then pipes the output to grep which then extracts the lines which contain the word "LISTEN". What we have as the result of that, is a list of the ports that we have open and the names of the processes which are listening on those ports.

Which ports are open to the world

Note that a service may have a port open, but that port may be only listening on the current machine. That is, a port is open, but you will not be able to access it from over the network. This is useful for security as something like a web server should have port 80 open to the world, but the world need not know about (or be able to connect to) port 3306, the port which the MySQL server that powers the website is listening on.

Ideally, if you are running a web server, the only ports that you would want visible on the outside are HTTP port 80 and maybe SSH port 22 since you still need to be able to connect to the web server to run commands.

The ports which have services available to the localhost only, will have the IP address 127.0.0.1 in its local address field. In the example above, that would be:

tcp     0   0 127.0.0.1:3306    0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN   21432/mysqld

As we can see, MySQL is listening on port 3306 on an IP address of 127.0.0.1. This means that only programs on the same machine will be able to connect to the MySQL server.

That is it for this tutorial on checking open ports on Ubuntu Linux. We hope you enjoyed it. Check out the links below for other articles which you may like.

How to install Eclipse 3.7 on Ubuntu 11.04

The Eclipse packages in Ubuntu are are very out of date. The latest version in the Ubuntu repos is 3.5.2 where as the latest version of Eclipse is 3.7. I’m posting this because Ubuntu 11.04 uses the new Unity desktop which uses overlay-scrollbars (scrolls bars that are hidden until you hover over them). For some reason Eclipse 5.3.2 doesn’t like to play nice with the overlay scrollbars, and I’d rather use the newest version anyways. With Eclipse, you can just download the tar.gz file from eclipse.org and run it no problem, but I like set things up in a cleaner fashion, so here’s how I did it.

1) Download Eclipse. I got eclipse-SDK-3.7-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

2) Extract it

tar zxvf eclipse-SDK-3.7.2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

Or just be lazy and Right Click > Extract Here

3) Move to /opt/ folder

sudo mv -f eclipse /opt/
cd /opt/
sudo chown -R root:root eclipse
sudo chmod -R +r eclipse

4) Create an eclipse executable in your path

sudo touch /usr/bin/eclipse
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/eclipse
sudo nano /usr/bin/eclipse

copy this into nano

#!/bin/sh
#export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/usr/lib/mozilla/"
export ECLIPSE_HOME="/opt/eclipse"

$ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse $*

save the file (^O = Ctrl+o) and exit nano (^X = Ctrl+x)

5) Create a gnome menu item

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop

copy this into nano

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Eclipse
Comment=Eclipse IDE
Exec=eclipse
Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;Application;Development;
StartupNotify=true

save and exit nano

6) Launch Eclipse for the first time

/opt/eclipse/eclipse -clean &

7) The update Site
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/
