I’ve managed to find a solution for it (through Google of course), and wrote an article of it at Techrecipes. Please read and report if it doesn’t work for you, or if it just works great!

When downloaded, I tried to run it using wine but presented with the following error;

shakir@anduril ~/gold $ wine GOLD.EXE
winevdm: unable to exec 'D:\shakir\gold\GOLD.EXE': DOS memory range unavailable

Someone suggested the following solution

shakir@anduril ~/gold $ sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0
vm.mmap_min_addr = 0

But I still get the following error, because I’m using 64 bit Linux;

shakir@anduril ~/gold $ wine GOLD.EXE
wine: Cannot start DOS application "D:\\shakir\\gold\\GOLD.EXE"
      because vm86 mode is not supported on this platform.

In the end I decided to install dosbox, and things then run perfectly.

shakir@anduril ~/gold $ sudo apt-get install dosbox
shakir@anduril ~/gold $ dosbox GOLD.EXE

I recently published an article titled Create SSH SOCKS proxy tunnel for secure web browsing at TechRecipes. Feel free to read and comment at that site.

The article is about creating a SOCKS proxy using SSH, which when configured on a web browser can be used to secure HTTP traffic through tunneling and can be used as VPN to view web sites local to the proxy server.

The article is about using simple HTML and PHP to execute Linux commands at the web hosting server. In shared webhosting environment, this can be very dangerous as it can be used to do malicious acts such as stealing other user’s web application configuration file, probably containing passwords and other informations.

$ mysql -u root

and I’ve been granted access, as I don’t set any password for my local MySQL account. I was somehow surprised however when I run the following command

mysql> show databases;

as I’ve been presented with many databases, maybe hundreds of them, and with that I realize something is not right somewhere. Upon checking, I found out that I was accessing the wrong server, and to my surprise again, it’s in my shared webhosting’s server.

When thinking creating rogue PHP scripts will let you do what your jailshell won’t let you do, this incident make me want to have a co-located server even more. I guess it’s a bad idea now to have all my shells to look the same when working with multiple terminals.

This is where Firefox and FireGPG come to help. FireGPG is a Firefox extension that features contextual menu giving access to several GPG functions, and brings GPG features to the GMail webmail interface.

To use it, one must first have GPG working on the machine, and Linux user can refer to GnuPG while Windows user can refer Gpg4win to get started.

Once the installations are complete and GPG keys are created, Firefox should have these (working) options when composing emails;

To enable it, simply add this line to /etc/vim/vimrc or ~/.vimrc

set number

or just type

:set number

while you’re already in Vim.
