csgather -- Gather CoreStorage metadata for diagnosis
SYNOPSIS
csgather -G dir device ...
csgather -r mountPoint [-o filename]
DESCRIPTION
csgather gathers CoreStorage metadata for diagnosis. It works in two modes.
In the first mode where -G and a list of devices are provided, CoreStorage metadata on these list of devices will be collected. The col-
lected information includes the size and UUID of the CoreStorage logical and physical volumes, the name of the logical volumes, the wrapped
(encrypted) volume key (which can only be decrypted by a brute-force attack), user name and user login image file. No other user information
(such as directory structure, file names, file content, etc) is collected.
In the second mode where -r is provided, the encryption context which includes the wrapped volume key (which can only be decrypted by a
brute-force attack), user name and user login image file will be collected.
If the wrapped volume key is decrypted by a brute-force attack, the volume key used to encrypt data on CoreStorage Logical Volumes is in the
clear. It is not mathematically possible to derive the user's passphrase from the volume key. The volume key is only useful when the
attacker has access to the encrypted data in the CoreStorage Logical Volume, which are not collected by csgather.
The following options are available:
-G dir Gather all CoreStorage metadata and write into the specified directory. The given directory must not already exist.
-o filename Specify the output file generated by the -r option. If not given, use standard output.
-r mountPoint Find out the CoreStorage logical volume identified by the given mount point, and print its encryption context to the file
given in the -o option.

The csgather utility first appeared along with CoreStorage in OS X 10.10.0.

vgremove - remove a volume group
SYNOPSIS
vgremove [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [-h|-?|--help] [--noudevsync] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName [VolumeGroupName...]
DESCRIPTION
vgremove allows you to remove one or more volume groups. If one or more physical volumes in the volume group are lost, consider vgreduce
--removemissing to make the volume group metadata consistent again.
If there are logical volumes that exist in the volume group, a prompt will be given to confirm removal. You can override the prompt with
-f.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
-f, --force
Force the removal of any logical volumes on the volume group without confirmation.
--noudevsync
Disable udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from udev. It will continue irrespective of any possible
udev processing in the background. You should only use this if udev is not running or has rules that ignore the devices LVM2 cre-
ates.

I'm at a total loss how to attack this problem.
I have a file that contains
ab
What I need to do is if
1)if the string "ab" doesn't contain a newline, I need to insert one back into the buffer.
2)If the file contains two consecutive blank lines, skip over it.
Here is what I started

Hi,
I am able to do this by brute force but I am just curious if there is a better way of handling things. Basically the scenario is something like this:
There are a number of files in a directory:

Hi,
I'm trying find out if there is a way to stop a brute force attack on a Webmail site. I'm trying to setup a webmail access, but I would like to prevent too many invalid logins from the same IP.
I've looked into Snort, but I was wondering if there was an application level firewall that can... (1 Reply)

I'm fairly confident I can brute force this assignment, but let's not do that ;-).

Hi,
I am trying to find out the original file size of an encrypted file in SunOS.
The file was decrypted with gpg command.
I want to know the size of the orginal file without decrypting it. I am using the below command, but it is not working for big files(more than 1 GB).

Dear All,
We were hit with a denial of service (DOS) attack today beginning around June 12th 2019 @ 01:27:51 PM from an IP address registered to "RACKWEB-NET" in Bulgaria.
I was notified about this around June 12th 2019 @ 03:05 PM and did some log file analysis and discovered how the attack... (4 Replies)
