The DarkMatter Display Random Quotes Plugin For WordPress is a very simple and straight forward plugin that posts random quotes to the bottom of WordPress Posts.
You can edit the quotes.txt (plugins/quote-of-the-day/quotes.txt) file to add or remove your own.
You can see it running below this post.
This is a simple and no frills way to monitor your servers.
You will need to create the file “urls.txt” in the same folder as the “active-servers.php” file.
Examples – urls.txt:
https://www.my-website.com/
http://localhost/
http://www.my-website.com/some/page.php
Navigate to the active-servers.php file. ( http://www.your-site.com/scripts/active-servers.php)
Online Servers will be Lime and Offline Servers, Red.
active-servers.php
<head>
<title>Active Servers</title>
</head>
<body style=”background-color: #0c0c0c;”>
<div>
<table width=”100%” height=”100%”>
<tr>
<td>
<table style=”margin-bottom: 100%;text-transform: uppercase;”>
<?php
$fn = fopen(“urls.txt”,”r”);
while(! feof($fn)) {
$result = fgets($fn);
$server=gethostbyname(parse_url($result, PHP_URL_HOST));
if (fsockopen($server, 80)){
echo (‘ <tr><td><b><a style=”color: Lime; text-decoration: none;”href=”‘.$result.'” target=”viewer”>’.$result.'</b></td></tr>’. “\r\n”);
} else
{
echo (‘ <tr><td style=”color: #a00000″>’.$result.'</td></tr>’. “\r\n”);
}
} fclose($fn); ?>
</table>
</td>
<td width=”100%”><iframe align=”right” class=”viewpanel” src=”” name=”viewer” frameborder=”0″ width=”100%” height=”600px”></iframe></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
This is just a fun little toy that happened while working on MySQL Automation.
The files used are first_names.txt, last_names.txt and domains.txt.
Reading random lines from the files in order creates the “Fake Email Address” and using [array_rand($variable)]; each email address is somewhat unique as I’m only using 80,000 names (give or take a few hundred).
All Files: fake-email-generator.zip
#!/bin/bash
$first_names = 'first_names.txt';
$last_names = 'last_names.txt';
$dom = 'domains.txt';
$firstname = file($first_names);
$fdata = $firstname[array_rand($firstname)];
$first = $fdata;
$lastname = file($last_names);
$ldata = $lastname[array_rand($lastname)];
$last = $ldata;
$comd = file($dom);
$edata = $comd[array_rand($comd)];
$com = $edata;
$first = preg_replace('/\s+/', '', $first);
$first = strtolower($first);
$last = preg_replace('/\s+/', '', $last);
$last = strtolower($last);
$com = preg_replace('/\s+/', '', $com);
echo $first."@".$last.$com;]
This is a Basic Encryption and Decryption Form using PhP.

This is pretty basic and I like it that way.
Using ffmpeg to capture the integrated web cam on my laptop and my USB webcam plugged in and then creating an archive to store subsequent photos in.
Part of a bigger project.
#!/bin/bash
# Set date for file naming

# Take photo using Integrated Webcam
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -video_size 1280x720 -i /dev/video0 -frames 1 int.$date.jpg
# Take photo using USB Webcam
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -video_size 1280x720 -i /dev/video1 -frames 1 usb.$date.jpg
# Add all .jpg files to payload.zip
zip payload.zip *.jpg
# Remove all .jpg files now
rm *.jpg
# Set time between photos
sleep 10
# Exit and start over
./$(basename $0) && exit

Installing Linux Apache, MySql and PhP also known as a LAMP Server can be an easily automated process and save you from countless hours of headaches.

sudo service apache2 stop
sudo apt-get purge apache2 apache2-utils apache2.2-bin apache2-common
sudo apt remove apache2.*
sudo apt-get autoremove
whereis apache2
sudo rm -rf /etc/apache2
# This will remove PHP
sudo apt-get purge `dpkg -l | grep php7.2| awk '{print $2}' |tr "\n" " "`
sudo apt-get purge php7.*

You can add custom lines to the install script and mirror them in the removal script as well.
This is just a basic installation to get a site up and running. I use PhPMyAdmin or my Hosting Cpanel to setup the user database for WordPress separately.
Bash is a Unix Shell and Command Language which runs in the form of a file (myscript.sh) and issues commands to the machine(s) it’s running on or connected to. Bash Scripts can save countless hours of time editing files or performing operations, so it’s quite versatile and useful.
A simple Bash Script might look something similar to this:
#!/bin/bash
# Monitor Network Connections - K0NxT3D 2021
clear
# All Connections to File
# sudo netstat -atupen >> output.txt
# Established Connections To File
# sudo netstat -atnp | grep ESTA >> output.txt
# Live Monitoring No File
sudo watch -d -n3 "netstat -atnp | grep ESTA"
The use of the pound sign at the beginning and following text is called the “Shebang” and is critical to your script environment, while also being used alone to Comment lines out in the rest of the script.
The Shebang is only used at the beginning of the script.
Scripts can be run on Linux based operating systems as well as Windows, my examples here are exclusive to Linux.
Sometimes you need a very “Personal” script to edit particular data from one or more files and might end up with something more like this processing script which gives me an output of the ip or website currently connected to my machine.
#!/bin/bash
#netstat -a -c -tp (Run As Sudo For More Details)
clear
date=$(date +"%m-%d-%Y_%H-%M")
file="output.txt"
ipo='^[0-9]+([.][0-9]+)?$'
#file="$date-netstat.output"
touch $file
netstat -tp|awk '{print $5}' >> $file
sleep 10
sed -i 's/:https//' $file
sed -i 's/:http//' $file
sed -i 's/servers)//' $file
sed -i 's/Address//' $file
sed -i 's/edge-msgr-latest-//' $file
sed -i 's/edge-star-shv-01-//' $file
sed -i 's/localhost:netbios-ssn//' $file
sed -i '/^\s*$/d' $file
sleep 10
while IFS= read -r ip
do
ping -c 1 $ip &> /dev/null && echo $ip >> IPS.txt || echo Could Not Connect.
done < $file
rm $file
This script simply removes lines of information I don’t need from the output file it generates and cleans up my data and the mess.
Sometimes, I just wanna mess with my dogs.
FOREVER!

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system written in PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system, referred to within WordPress as Themes.
WordPress (WP, WordPress.org) is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) written in PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system, referred to within WordPress as Themes. WordPress was originally created as a blog-publishing system but has evolved to support other web content types including more traditional mailing lists and forums, media galleries, membership sites, learning management systems (LMS) and online stores. WordPress is used by 41.4% of the top 10 million websites as of May 2021, WordPress is one of the most popular content management system solutions in use. WordPress has also been used for other application domains, such as pervasive display systems (PDS).
WordPress was released on May 27, 2003, by its founders, American developer Matt Mullenweg and English developer Mike Little, as a fork of b2/cafelog. The software is released under the GPLv2 (or later) license.
To function, WordPress has to be installed on a web server, either part of an Internet hosting service like WordPress.com or a computer running the software package WordPress.org in order to serve as a network host in its own right. A local computer may be used for single-user testing and learning purposes.
