How to compile an Android kernel

Image
By  nathanchance , Recognized Develope r. Introduction Hello everyone, I will be going over how to compile a kernel from beginning to end! Prerequisites: A Linux environment (preferably 64-bit) Knowledge of how to navigate the command line Common sense A learning spirit, there will be no spoonfeeding here What this guide will cover: Downloading the source Downloading a cross compiler Building the kernel Flashing the kernel What this guide will NOT cover: Setting up a build environment (plenty of existing Linux installation guides) Adding features to the kernel (plenty of git cherry-picking guides) I know this has been done before but on a cursory search, I have not seen a guide that was recently updated at all. 1. Downloading the source If you have a custom kernel you want to build, move along after cloning the kernel using the git clone command below. If you are compiling your stock kernel, it is ultimately up to you to know where to get your kernel source from but here are some commo

Why shouldn't it be as easy to write system administration programs in Go as it is in a typical shell? script aims to make it just that easy. Shell scripts often compose a sequence of operations on a stream of data (a pipeline). This is how script works, too. What can I do with it? Let's see a simple example. Suppose you want to read the contents of a file as a string: contents, err := script.File("test.txt").String() That looks straightforward enough, but suppose you now want to count the lines in that file. numLines, err := script.File("test.txt").CountLines() For something a bit more challenging, let's try counting the number of lines in the file which match the string "Error": numErrors, err := script.File("test.txt").Match("Error").CountLin

The credentials of 3.5 million users of MobiFriends, a popular dating app, have surfaced on a prominent deep web hacking forum, according to researchers. MobiFriends is an online service and  Android app  designed to help users worldwide meet new people online. The Barcelona-based developer of MobiFriends, MobiFriends Solutions, has not commented on the leak. Researchers say the leaked data include dates of birth, genders, website activity, mobile numbers, usernames, email addresses and MD5 hashed passwords. Roy Bass, senior dark web analyst at Risk Based Security (RBS), told Threatpost the posting came from a reliable source. Bass said that researchers verified the data against the MobiFriends official website (researchers also provided Threatpost with redacted screenshots of the shared credentials). The compromised credentials were originally posted for sale on an underground forum on Jan. 12 by a threat actor named “DonJuji,” according to a RBS post on Thursday. The threat actor att
