@mrbarrett just pointed me at pianobar, a command-line client for pandora. It gets rid of the need for flash player, and allows you to bypass some of the limitations of the web client (you can skip more than 5 songs!).

To install (on Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install git-core libao-dev libfaad-dev libmad0-dev
git clone git://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar.git
cd pianobar
make
sudo make install

enjoy!

The framework is taking quite a while to load on my machine these days, so i decided to stop loading all modules by default, and load only those modules i need. Here’s the process:

Simply comment the module-loading lines in the framework file lib/msf/base/simple/framework.rb, so :

if (Msf::Config.module_directory)

framework.modules.add_module_path(Msf::Config.module_directory)

end

becomes

#if (Msf::Config.module_directory)

#framework.modules.add_module_path(Msf::Config.module_directory)

#end

Or you can apply this patch: http://www.0x0e.org/x/framework-no-default-mods.patch

Alos make sure to remove the ~/.msf3/modcache directory.

Then, mirroring the framework modules directory structure, copy the modules you’d like to load into your .msf3/modules directory. For example, if you wanted to load only the psexec module and the reverse_tcp payload, copy

• modules/exploits/windows/smb/psexec.rb into ~/.msf3/modules/exploits/windows/smb/psexec.rb
• modules/payloads/stagers/windows/reverse_tcp.rb into ~/.msf3/modules/payloads/stagers/windows/reverse_tcp.rb

You should now see a load-time speed improvement on the order of:

Pretty simple, it takes a file with a list of ips, one/line and generates a kml file. Very handy if you’re working on a large pentest and want to track down (and visualize) where a particular host is located. It uses the Yahoo GeoIP API to grab location data.
