Things I Learned From DEFCON
Pentoo - Linux distro for pen testing.
VMware fusion - Most of the presenters were using a Macbook with VMware fusion managing their VMs.
Chinavasion - One of the presentations mentioned this in the context of dealextreme, I'm assuming this site is similar.
Kali linux - Another distro for pen testing.
Open bts
Sqlmap (SQLi injection) - Python tool used to tell if php pages were vulnerable to SQLi injection.
C99 shell - PHP interface for shell level system functions.
b374k shell - Another shell which allows an user to run file system, database, and shell commands from a web interface.
Accunetix (xss)
Business logic flaws in mobile operators
Doskey /history - Will show you all the previous commands typed into command prompt.
Maria DB - When oracle took over MySQL, it forked and maria db is still run by the previous developers.
Firefox imacro - A presenter said he uses this for all of his bots.
Burp repeater - Looks similar to fiddler, allows repeating http packets. Maybe only for Mac.
Fritzing
Groupie and Geocouch (couch dB) - This was used in combination with the unity engine to display clusters of map points in a video game.
Steganography - The word for hiding data inside of other files. A presenter showed how histograms could be used.
Femtocells - A personal cell tower. One of the presentations talked about how to use a femtocell to intercept text messages to a Verizon (CDMA) phone.
Shark - Has something to do with a hadoop, good for storing large amounts of data.

Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com
W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.14 80]This is happening because you're on an unsupported/old version of Ubuntu.
One way to fix it:
- nano /etc/apt/sources.list
- Change all entries referring to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
Best Python Tricks
https://gist.github.com/JeffPaine/6213790Most of the examples involve making your code much faster by using iterators instead of creating copies of the data. Example: xrange

Change Percent To Numbers and Keep Color - Flot Pie Chart

Overwriting module with same version in Heroku - Python
I needed to install a newer version of a module from a github commit, but it had the same version number. Heroku just used the cached version of the module and didn't overwrite it with the newer version.The easiest fix for this:
- Create a file in your application's root directory called "runtime.txt" with only "python-3.4.1" written inside.
- Add, commit, and push the new runtime.txt
- Change runtime.txt back to "python-2.7.6"
- Add, commit, and push to clear your virtualenv and reinstall all modules
