I'm looking for a linux console tool to read/write contact from sim-card in an umts-modem or a usb/serial conntected cellphone.
Tried googling for it but it seems impossible to find cause I can only find things very different to what I'm looking for.

I need to control dhcp address renew actions on Linux in my application written in C. I am trying to find the best way to retrieve this information from the system. So far I have actually come up with only one way - parsing the system logs and looking for address renewal information. However, this way is very inefficient. I can try to improve this by redirecting the logs from dhclient to a separate file and check only this one file. But it still seems to be a poor solution. Do you have any idea how to retrieve this information in a better way in C or bash? Thank you very much for any hints.
I was tasked to set up an open-source icap-server to scan files that are uploaded in one of our web applications.
The files base64-encoded withing the upload method and this seems to lead to the fortigate not being able to scan it properly.
Now I managed to set up an icap-server using "c-icap" and tested it with "clamav". So far it seems to work, at least EICAR files are detected.
Now the problem is, that my boss is basically a "Windows-only" person who says that any open-source AV can´t be trusted enough.
He wants me to try to have the requests/uploads sent to the c-icap server, but scanned with Windows Defender. ß Is there any - useful - way to accomplish this? Also, since I am super new to ICAP - are there any restrictions regarding which icap-server can be used?Like, is there any way to force requests to be handled with a metadefender-icap only, and not any other icap server?
Sorry if these questions are a bit unspecific and basic, but just started with ICAP yesterday!
Thank you!
Check out this link: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/metadefender-icap-with-windows-defender-antivirus-world-class/ba-p/800234 to see what Microsoft offers regarding Defender+ICAP.
I have used commercial ICAP solutions in the past (like Bluecoat) that allow plugging in multiple commercial virus engines (Kaspersky, Sophos, ...).
These are appliances, and you don't need to tell your boss their internals are probably some sort of Linux ;-)
You can probably also set up a commercial antivirus solution on your Linux system and use that.
Looking at this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/microsoft-defender-atp-linux it may even be possible to run Microsoft's Defender on Linux. I haven't tried it myself though.
Unlike your boss, Microsoft realizes software shouldn't be made to just run on Windows anymore (even MS-SQL Server now runs on Linux).
I've been looking at the SPIFFS file system project on https://github.com/pellepl/spiffs and it seems like it has a pretty large user community. I've been looking at the WIKI on the integration and configuration which seems to be well documented. I didn't see a user group forum? is there one?
My question pertains to the actual formatting of the flash device, within the examples shown in the WIKI pages I didn't example code on how to format the flash. There's a description, but it doesn't show an example of how to use the API.
I'm hoping someone might know of example of how to use the APIs. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm all set, I took another look at the API's and I figured out how to use them to mount and format the spi flash to initialize it. I ran thru the test example and it works. It went better than expected.
how to get harddrive serial number(not the volume # wich change at each reinstall of windows) in C or asm, without wmi (cause wmi required admin right). Any clue would be helpfull cause right now i found nothing on web in C without wmi, in dayss of searching... Thank you.
EDIT : For windows system
Please try my open source tool, DiskId32, which also has the source code at http://www.winsim.com/diskid32/diskid32.html . I only have an Win32 version at this time. Maybe some day I will add a Win64 version.
Hard drive serial number and other information about the harddrive like firmware version, etc. can only be obtained using SMART as far as I know and that requires special ioctls to the the block device node (/dev/sda or /dev/sdb) which is usually not available to a regular user.
I know there is a tool called smartctl which does exactly this:
sudo smartctl -i /dev/sda
Similar tools exist (hdparm, lshw, etc.) as well.
As far as trying to figure it out this info without being a privileged user, it might be possible only if it is exposed via /proc or /sys which I highly doubt is being done in the current SATA block device drivers.
I am trying to write a simple program, preferably in C, that will watch a given directory. Whenever a process accesses that directory, I just want to print out the name of that process. It seems simple, but I am coming up short for solutions on MSDN. Does anyone know which library calls I will need for this, or any helpful advice? I have considered repeatedly querying for what processes have handles on the given directory and just watching for additions to that list.This approach just seems very intensive and I am hoping there is an easier way. Thanks.
I'm not sure if there's an easier way, but one way is to use a file system filter driver. Or easier a file system minifilter driver.
You can filter, log, track, control, ... all IO.
There is no supported way to do this from user mode. You can use the FindFirstChangeNotification API to tell when a file or directory has changed, but that doesn't tell you who did it. You might be able to hook some things to obtain this information... but that is of course not supported.
If you can use a driver, you can use Event Tracing for Windows for this information. This is what Sysinternals ProcMon uses. But installation of a driver is a very invasive process, bugs in your driver cause BSODs, and installation of a driver requires administrative rights. Something to keep in mind.
