My son asked the other night if hacking computers really worked like on television, and if numbers/words really flashed across the screen. I explained to him a bit, then told him we could make something that looked like he seen on television. Below is a print out I wrote for him. Keep in mind I tried to dumb it down a bit for my 10 year old son. Hacking MD5 Hashes What is a MD5 Hash?

This has been one of the processes I’ve normally not solved in a clean or readable way.
In []: a = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] Taking the top output I want to return something similar to below.
Out[]: [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8)] Using a Pythonic approach this task isn’t to difficult, but there is some explaining to do.
First lets look at the code:
In []: a = iter([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]) In []: [ i for i in zip(a, a) ] Out[]: [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8)] First we need to pass our list to the iter function, this turns our list into a iterator object:
Linux /proc/net/route addresses unreadable

So you may have looked at /proc/net/route before and thought how the heck am I suppose to read this. Well here is the low down.
This file uses endianness to store the addresses as hexadecimal, in reverse; for example 192 as hex is C0 :
In []: hex(192) Out[]: '0xc0' So lets take a look at our route file:
Iface Destination Gateway Flags RefCnt Use Metric Mask MTU Window IRTT eth0 00087F0A 00000000 0001 0 0 0 00FFFFFF 0 0 0 eth0 0000FEA9 00000000 0001 0 0 1002 0000FFFF 0 0 0 eth0 00000000 01087F0A 0003 0 0 0 00000000 0 0 0 Now the first entry has a destination of 00087F0A , lets go ahead and chunk these in to hex characters:

Vegan Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2014, 09:30 AM

A dish we normally eat once a week is spaghetti and meat sauce; however, since we have been eating vegan we needed to substitute the meat sauce, as well as egg pasta.
The pasta wasn’t difficult at all, our local grocery store carried a brand right next to all the other pasta noodles.
As for the meat sauce, we decided to try Seitan (a wheat product).
The ground Seitan cooked up quite nicely, and even resembled the ground beef we were accustomed to.
