Ortro 1.3.1 released!

May 27, 2008 in ortro by Luca Corbo | No comments

This version includes some enhancements, and one very important security fix, a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

We recommend everyone update immediately.

In addition to the security fix, the Net_Nmap library was updated making the autodiscovery without OS detection more faster, the capability to upload files for plugins and the Web Service Test Plugin using SoapUI were added.

The SimpleTest and FCKeditor libraries were updated.

Help and comments are always welcome, see http://www.ortro.net for full changelog and details.

Ortro 1.3.1 and the plugins may be downloaded as usual from:

Execute commands on folder and files containing spaces

May 8, 2008 in Linux/Unix, Tips by Luca Corbo | 1 comment

On Linux or Unix systems perform recursively a command on items might contain white space, quote marks, or backslashes can be a problem when using find | xargs combination.

To solve this you may use:

find -type d -print0 | xargs -0 <command>
find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 <command>

For example to fix recursively permission:

find -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644
