Notification in Ratpoison WM when new unread mail in Mutt
After some time spent on Google to find a solution, somebody in #mutt told me to have a look at the status_format option in which we can call an external script ...
The relevant part of the ~/.ratpoisonrc :
set status_format="/usr/local/bin/notify.sh '%r %f (%L) [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? New:%n?%?d? Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? Inc:%b?]'|"
/usr/local/bin/notify.sh (quick 'n dirty but it works!) :
#!/bin/bash # # Small script which display a message in ratpoison # when new incoming mail # echo "$1" | grep -q "New" > /dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then ratpoison -c "echo Unread mail in Inbox" fi echo "$1"

Yubiauth : Two-factor authentication with Yubikey in OpenSSH
Some times ago I've described a quick solution to setup two-factor authentication with OpenSSH & Yubikey. I've made a clean Perl rewrite of the script with new features.
Working features :
- Config file in INI format
- Multiple Yubikeys support for each user
- "Whitelist" : you can define IP (or networks using CIDR notation) for clients which doesn't need to provide OTP.
- HMAC verification
- Error logging
Planned features :
- Integration of PreludeEasy to report authentication failures to your Prelude SIEM manager.
Available from my Git repository.

Improve web browser integration within Ratpoison WM
Here is a solution based on a custom perl script to improve the integration of your web browser inside Ratpoison.
Ratpoison is a keyboard driven window manager.
I've written a small perl script designed to be called via standard Ratpoison bind functions to interact with Midori (can be easily used with other web browsers). Here are the default binds :
- :gg
: search for in google.com - :dp
: load packages.debian.org page of - :db
: load bugs.debian.org page of - :wi
: search for in Wikipedia
There is also a shortcut (actually bind to escape-g) which send the current selection to the browser, if the selection is an URL, load it into the browser, otherwise search for string in Google.
Relevant part of my ~/.ratpoisonrc :
# Browser Wrapper bind g exec ~/bin/browser_wrapper.pl selection `$RATPOISON -c getsel` alias gg exec ~/bin/browser_wrapper.pl gg alias dp exec ~/bin/browser_wrapper.pl dp alias db exec ~/bin/browser_wrapper.pl db alias wi exec ~/bin/browser_wrapper.pl wi
~/bin/browser_wrapper.pl :
#!/usr/bin/perl
{
my $shortcut = $ARGV[0] || 'gg';
my $browser = "/usr/bin/midori";
my $request = undef;
my $url = undef;
foreach $argnum ( 1 .. $#ARGV ) {
$request .= $ARGV[$argnum].'%20';
}
$request =~ s/\%20$//;
my $shortcuts_table = {
'gg' => sub {
$url = "http://www.google.fr/search?q=" . $request;
system( $browser . " " . $url );
},
'dp' => sub {
$url = "http://packages.debian.org/" . $request;
system( $browser . " " . $url );
},
'db' => sub {
$url = "http://bugs.debian.org/" . $request;
system( $browser . " " . $url );
},
'wi' => sub {
$url = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" . $request;
system( $browser . " " . $url );
},
'selection' => sub {
if ( $request =~ m/^http:\/\/.*/ ) {
$url = $request;
} else {
$url = "http://www.google.fr/search?q=" . $request;
}
system( $browser . " " . $url );
}
};
$shortcuts_table->{$shortcut} ? $shortcuts_table->{$shortcut}->() : $shortcuts_table->{'gg'}->();
}
0;

View HTML emails inside Mutt
More a reminder than a real post, here's how to display HTML emails inside Mutt using w3m.
Put the following line into ~/.mailcap :
text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html -dump; copiousoutput
And just append :
auto_view text/html
in ~/.mutt/muttrc
