Configuring mutt to work with GMAIL

Mutt is a mail client , that you can configure easier in Linux , i will start with explaining the installation and the configuration of the tool , and some example to send a simple email :

  • sudo apt-get update         #It's always a good idea to update your sources list before you start with installing any thing new .
  • sudo apt-get install mutt         #This command will install the client for you .
  • cd         #This will take you to your home dir , and there you will find a dir called .mutt
  • cd .mutt
  • vi muttrc         # Edit the file like the below example :


Ex :

hdr_order Date From To Cc
ignore "Authentication-Results:"
ignore "DKIM-Signature:"
ignore "DomainKey-Signature:"
set certificate_file="~/.mutt/certificates"
set editor='nano'
set folder=imaps://imap.gmail.com:993
set from="YourEmail@gmail.com"
set header_cache="~/.mutt/cache/headers"
set imap_check_subscribed
set imap_keepalive=300
set imap_pass="YourPassword"
set imap_user="set imap_user="YourEmail@gmail.com"
set markers=no
set message_cachedir="~/.mutt/cache/bodies"
set move=no
set postponed="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts"
set realname="YourName"
set smtp_pass="YourPassword"
set smtp_url="smtp://YourEmail@smtp.gmail.com:587/"
set sort_aux='last-date-received'
set sort='reverse-threads'
set spoolfile=imaps://imap.gmail.com:993/INBOX
unset imap_passive
You have new mail in /var/mail/root




* Please replace YourName , YourEmail , YourPassword .


And this is an example for sending email with mutt :

Ex :

      echo -e "Hloo \nThis is my body email" | mutt -s "This is my subject" ToEmail@koko.com

ESP32-C6 Wi-Fi Logger with Browser GPS + Heat Map Dashboard

This project is an ESP-IDF firmware for the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-C6 that turns the board into a self-hosted, secure Wi-Fi scanning logger. It creates its own access point, serves a responsive HTTPS web UI, logs nearby Wi-Fi access points, optionally tags rows with GPS coordinates (provided by the client browser), and exposes battery status from the on-board LiPo input. The end result is a pocket Wi-Fi “survey” tool: scan, track, export logs as CSV, and generate a heat map view to visualize RSSI vs location. Project overview and feature set: :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} What it does AP + Station mode so the device can serve the dashboard while scanning nearby Wi-Fi networks. HTTPS web interface using a bundled certificate/key for local secure access. Single scan and continuous tracking modes. CSV export for analysis and archiving. Persistent logging to SPIFFS at /spiffs/logs.csv . Battery monitoring via ADC with voltage/percentage/status sh...

learn how to sniff wireless passwords with pirni

The thing about the iPod Touch and the iPhone is that they are great portable hacking devices. To the naked eye the iPod Touch/iPhone looks like nothing more than an ordinary mp3 player/cellphone however that is just an understatement to its full potential. Once your Ipod Touch/iPhone is jailbroken you have access to your whole file system meaning that applications generally associated with laptop/desktop hacking can be ported and used on the iPod Touch/iPhone. This opens up a whole lot of possibilities for network sniffing, port scanning and much much more! In this tutorial we are going to take a look at one of these programs called Pirni. What is Pirni? Pirni is an application that was ported to The Ipod Touch/iPhone to be used as a native network sniffer. Pirni is so useful because it gets past the iPod Touch’s/iPhone’s wifi hardware limitation of not being able to be set into promiscious mode (a mode that allows a network device to intercept and read each network packet that arrive...

Performance Monitoring

Performance Monitoring "System Accounting," teaches about the UNIX accounting system, and the tools that the accounting system provides. Some of these utilities and reports give you information about system utilization and performance. Some of these can be used when investigating performance problems. In this portion of the book, you will learn all about performance monitoring. There are a series of commands that enable system administrators, programmers, and users to examine each of the resources that a UNIX system uses. By examining these resources you can determine if the system is operating properly or poorly. More important than the commands themselves, you will also learn strategies and procedures that can be used to search for performance problems. Armed with both the commands and the overall methodologies with which to use them, you will understand the factors that are affecting system performance, and what can be done to optimize them so that the system performs...
