Partitioning N900's memory card

-
So i was preparing Atiezul's MicroSD card for instaling NitDroid on her N900.
Just some reminder for me self on partitioning N900 memory card.

Hope this help someone.

I had gotten meself a 8GB MicroSD. The settings i wanted was 5GB Linux parttiton (ext3) and balance of 3GB Fat (vfat?). Below the things i done:


Nokia-N900:~# umount /media/mmc1

Nokia-N900:~# sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF

> ,5000,L

> ,2647,D

> ,,L

> ,,

> EOF

Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ...

OK



Disk /dev/mmcblk1: 244704 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track

Old situation:

Units = mebibytes of 1048576 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0



   Device Boot Start   End    MiB    #blocks   Id  System

/dev/mmcblk1p1         0+  4999   5000-   5119999+   c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)

/dev/mmcblk1p2      5000   7646   2647    2710528    d  Unknown

/dev/mmcblk1p3         0      -      0          0   83  Linux

/dev/mmcblk1p4         0      -      0          0    0  Empty

New situation:

Units = mebibytes of 1048576 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0



   Device Boot Start   End    MiB    #blocks   Id  System

/dev/mmcblk1p1         0+  4999   5000-   5119999+  83  Linux

/dev/mmcblk1p2      5000   7646   2647    2710528    d  Unknown

/dev/mmcblk1p3         0      -      0          0   83  Linux

/dev/mmcblk1p4         0      -      0          0    0  Empty

Warning: partition 3 has size 0 but is not marked Empty

Warning: no primary partition is marked bootable (active)

This does not matter for LILO, but the DOS MBR will not boot this disk.

Successfully wrote the new partition table



Re-reading the partition table ...



If you created or changed a DOS partition, /dev/foo7, say, then use dd(1)

to zero the first 512 bytes:  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/foo7 bs=512 count=1

(See fdisk(8).)

This is a placeholder for future post, on backdooring SAP servers: 1. SAP profile SETENV_xx parameter - if get local access, or SAP level access can cat or echo a line into profile parameter file - concatenated command for SETENV_+xx param 2. Using ABAP program + SM37 - ABAP program to fetch comamnd from a remote server (HTTP-GET ABAP Function Module) - schedule job every 2 minits interval - for that job, set spool recipient to remote attacker email so output can be sent over - Pre-req: SCOT configuration, Auth for SM36, SE38 to be continued.. //alak

Fiori Apps Keep Calling Internal Hostname / Internal FQDN

Had this issue where certain apps calls internal hostnames or internal FQDN when clicking or spawning webdynpro URL or any calling of internally hosted attachment. To change this setting, general steps as below: Check the app is using which local Alias - is it LOCAL or S4PS or S4FIn or whatever Check in /UI2/V_ALIASMAP / /UI2/V_ALIASCAT that alis is mapped to which alias. Check in SM59 under HTTP Connections to ABAP System if let say the Alias name is LOCAL, so there should be three LOCAL_xx created, which are: LOCAL_HTTP LOCAL_HTTPS LOCAL_HTTPT SO change for each of this, to the correct FQDN or hostname Hope this helps someone. //alak
