Remove the Service fingerprint from nmap xml file

sed 's/servicefp=.*" //g' first-pn.xml > f.xml

simply matches the servicefp (including the tag itself) and replaces it with null, globally.
first-pn.xml is the source file, f.xml is the output

Hide users from net user

Cute, apparently you can hide users from the output of "net user" by appending a $ to the name. It still shows up if you look for it explicitly or if you go to control panel.

net user cats$ lolwutcats? /add

Homebrew and pianobar

PromyLOPh pushed a patch today to fix pianobar so it would be compatible with a recent protocol change. Apparently Pandora has changed from using TLS to not using TLS...Well thats all fine and great but I use homebrew for mac to maintain my packages. I wanted my pianobar updated NAOW. so i started looking around...

-First i ran "locate pianobar" to get an idea of where the files were located.
-"/usr/local/Library/Formula/pianobar.rb" caught my eye so i looked into it...
- The ruby file has a few entries in it, but towards the top is this code:
class Pianobar < Formula
url 'https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/tarball/2011.12.11'
version '2011.12.11'
homepage 'https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/'
md5 'c8573c133851ff54649d1ab45c7b855c'

-this obviously looks like where it tells homebrew to download and install the program. so what happens if I change those values to reflect the most current version?
-I opened the ruby file in vim and changed the settings:
class Pianobar < Formula
url 'https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/tarball/2012.01.10'
version '2012.01.10'
homepage 'https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/'
md5 'a703227c079cb0fe20ac4abbdfbc6f08'

-saved, and ran "brew upgrade pianobar"
