How to unlock Iphone 4 iOS 4.1 at baseband 2.10.04?

I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.1 at baseband 2.10.04. I want to use the iPhone on a different network as I am traveling out of country? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I will write a how-to tutorial once I can do it on my iPhone 4.

Bouncing Orbs

I recently finished a major milestone for a C++/SDL game development course. It is my first mini-game/animation. It was an awesome programming  experience. It was amazing to learn things like parallax scrolling, creating explosions, save/restore of animation state in Xml(expat). Thank you Dr. Malloy.

Python - Writing a traceroute using sockets

I recently learned, how to write a traceroute using socket programming in python. I am sharing it below. I don't take any credit for the code. I may have picked bits and pieces from various different resources on the Internet, as a part of my learning process. It's not very elegant but demonstrates the purpose. Perhaps, some day I can improve it and add few enhancements to it.

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import socket

def traceroute(dest_name):
    dest_addr = socket.gethostbyname(dest_name)
    port = 33434
    max_hops = 30
    print dest_name
    icmp = socket.getprotobyname('icmp')
    udp = socket.getprotobyname('udp')
    ttl = 1
    while True:
        print ttl,
        recv_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_RAW, icmp)
        send_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, udp)
        send_socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_IP, socket.IP_TTL, ttl)
        recv_socket.bind(("", port))
        send_socket.sendto("", (dest_name, port))
        curr_addr = None
        curr_name = None
        try:
            _, curr_addr = recv_socket.recvfrom(512)
            curr_addr = curr_addr[0]

            try:
                curr_name = socket.gethostbyaddr(curr_addr)[0]
            except socket.error:
                curr_name = curr_addr
        except socket.error:
            pass
        finally:
            send_socket.close()
            recv_socket.close()

        if curr_addr is not None:
            curr_host = "%s (%s)" % (curr_name, curr_addr)
        else:
            curr_host = "*"
        print "%d\t%s" % (ttl, curr_host)

        ttl += 1
        if curr_addr == dest_addr or ttl > max_hops:
            break

if __name__ == "__main__":
    traceroute(sys.argv[1])

Can be executed as -

>sudo ./traceroute.py xharpreetx.com

C++ - Maps and Vectors

 I have been learning something really exciting this semester. It is a grad course called Object oriented software development using C++. Apart from learning the pillars of object orientation i.e. encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism, I have got a chance to delve into game programming. It is a challenging domain and I will post some of my animation/game videos sometime soon.
The other day, I was writing some code to familiarize myself with vectors and maps. Here it goes -
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <vector>
using std::string;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::vector;

//Todo: check how to use overloading for 'print' function
void print(std::map<string,int> &m) {
  std::map<string,int>::const_iterator it;
  for(it=m.begin();it!=m.end();++it) {
    std::cout << (it)->first << " = " << (it)->second << std::endl; 
  }
}
//Todo: check how to use overloading for 'print' function
void print(vector<int> v) {
  vector<int>::const_iterator it;
  for(it=v.begin();it!=v.end();++it) {
    std::cout<< (*it) << std::endl;
  }
}

void initializevec(vector<int> &vec) {
  for (unsigned int i = 0 ; i < 20; ++i) {
    vec.push_back(i);
    //demonstrates how capacity grows as size of vector increases
    cout << "size = " << vec.size() << " capacity = " << vec.capacity() << endl;
  }
}

int main() {
  cout<< " MAP " << endl;
  std::map<string,int> mymap;
  mymap["b"] = 1;
  mymap["a"] = 2;
  mymap["c"] = 5;
  mymap["d"] = 3;

  print(mymap);
  cout << "size = " << mymap.size() << endl;

  std::map<string,int>::iterator it = mymap.find("c");
  cout<< "Deleting 'c' ... " <
  mymap.erase(it);
  print(mymap);
  cout << "size = " << mymap.size() << endl;   
  std::cout << std::endl;

  cout<< " VECTOR " << endl;
  vector<int> vec;
  initializevec(vec);

  vec.push_back(13);
  print(vec);

  return 0;
}
Compile using -
g++ -W -Wall -Weffc++ -ggdb -O0 filename.cpp

It demonstrates some basic operations of maps and vectors. It was nice to understand how vectors increase their 'capacity' to accommodate new elements.

Yii - data grid view with some customization of cell content format

Lets start by creating a simple table

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `username` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  `password` varchar(128) NOT NULL,
  `activationKey` varchar(128) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `createtime` int(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `lastvisit` int(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `superuser` int(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `status` int(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `username` (`username`),
  KEY `status` (`status`),
  KEY `superuser` (`superuser`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

Configure the database connection as shown in one of the earlier posts.

Generate the corresponding model for the table in your database by executing the following commands
>protected\yiic shell

>> model *

Now, I want to create a data grid view to show the details of the table.

To show a link to the new "users" page(with a data grid) on navigation bar, open the file ..\mytestapp\protected\views\layouts\main.php

and add the following entry, in the "mainmenu" div.

 

widget('zii.widgets.CMenu',array(
            'items'=>array(
array('label'=>'Home', 'url'=>array('/site/index')),
array('label'=>'Users', 'url'=>array('/site/users')),  //####### new entry
array('label'=>'About', 'url'=>array('/site/page', 'view'=>'about')),
array('label'=>'Contact', 'url'=>array('/site/contact')),
array('label'=>'Login', 'url'=>array('/site/login'), 'visible'=>Yii::app()->user->isGuest),
array('label'=>'Logout ('.Yii::app()->user->name.')', 'url'=>array('/site/logout'), 'visible'=>!Yii::app()->user->isGuest)
),
)); ?>



The site controller needs information about where to render the new "users" page.
This can be done by adding the following method in the ..\mytestapp\protected\controllers\SiteController.php file

public function actionUsers()
    {
    $dataProvider=new CActiveDataProvider('Users');
    $this->render('users',array('dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,
                ));
    }

As you would notice that these methods should begin with "action" prefix.

Create a new file "users.php" at this location
..\mytestapp\protected\views\site\users.php

The contents of this file would look something like this-


$this->pageTitle=Yii::app()->name . ' - Users';
$this->breadcrumbs=array(
    'Users',
);

?><h1>Users

beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
    'id'=>'members-form',
    'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,
)); ?>

widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
    'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,
    'columns'=>array(
   array(
    'name'=>'id',
    'value'=>'CHtml::encode($data->id)'
   ),
   array(
    'name'=>'username',
    'value'=>'CHtml::encode($data->username)'
   ),
   array(
    'name'=>'createtime',
    'value'=>'CHtml::encode(date(\'Y-m-d\', $data->createtime))'  //this will format the unix timestamp to a custom date format
   ),
   array(
     'name'=>'lastvisit',              
     'value'=>'CHtml::encode(date(\'Y-m-d\', $data->lastvisit))'      // format the cell with date format
   ),
   array(
     'name'=>'status',
     'value'=>'CHtml::encode($data->status==1 ? \'Active\': \'Inactive\' )' 
// to render the gridview cell with a particular value
    ),
    ),
)); ?>
endWidget(); ?>

The page should be hosted at
http://localhost/mytestapp/index.php/site/users
or
http://localhost/mytestapp/index.php/?r=site/users

depending on the url manager setting in the config file.

Setup and debug an Yii app in Netbeans IDE

After using Eclipse for a while I switched to Netbeans IDE for Yii development. It seems faster and easier to setup. Following is my experience of setting up the development environment.

Create a project stub using the following command -
>> yii-1.1.3.r2247\framework\yiic webapp mytestapp

Open Netbeans IDE and proceed with the following steps -

1. Click on File-> New Project
    This will open up a dialog box. Select "PHP" under "Categories" and under "Projects" select "PHP Applications with Existing Sources".

    Click Next.
2. In the "Sources Folder", input the path of "mytestapp" folder on your machine.
    Assign a project name. "mytestapp" for my case.
    Select a PHP version.

    Click Next
3. The options in this form should be set up automatically like below.
   

    Click Finish
   
    This should set up your Yii project in Netbeans IDE.
   
4. Go to "Debug" menu on the top bar on Netbeans IDE. Select "Debug Project(mytestapp)" and you should be able to debug your project.

5. "Continue(F5)" option in Debug can be used to resume a stopped debug session.
   

Yii - Authentication from mysql database using a md5 password

Before proceeding make sure the database has been connected to Yii application. (see previous post)
For this example, the passwords are stored in the database as md5 hash.
You may be required to change the password encoding scheme.

Edit the authenticate method in ../my_app/protected/components/UserIdentity.php to look like this -

public function authenticate()
    {
        //$users=array(
            // username => password
            //'demo'=>'demo',
            //'admin'=>'admin',
        //);
       
        $user = myUsersTable::model()->findByAttributes( array( 'my_userid_column_name' => $this->username));
        if ($user===null) { // No user was found!
            $this->errorCode=self::ERROR_USERNAME_INVALID;
        }
        // $user->Password refers to the "password" column name from the database
        else if($user->Password !== md5("my_salt1".$this->password))
        {   
            $this->errorCode=self::ERROR_PASSWORD_INVALID;
        }
        else { // User/pass match
            $this->errorCode=self::ERROR_NONE;
        }       
        return !$this->errorCode;
    }

Enter the username/password pair on the login page and you should be good to go.

Compiling Ganglia - Errors and problems

Some errors and problems:


My install directory was /opt/ganglia.


Error -
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

Solution -
Add gcc bin path to PATH environment variable


Error -
checking for pcre.h... no
checking for pcre_compile in -lpcre... no
libpcre not found, specify --with-libpcre=no to build without PCRE support

Solution -
PCRE is not installed.
# wget ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/SOURCES/pcre-8.10.tar.gz
# /usr/local/bin/tar -xzf pcre-8.10.tar.gz
# cd pcre-8.10
# ./configure --prefix=/opt/ganglia
# make && make install

Make sure you add, -I/opt/ganglia/include to CFLAGS environment variable
and -L/opt/ganglia/lib to LDFLAGS after this.


Problem -
Graphs not shown in ganglia or images not shown on ganglia front end.


Reason -
php-gd may not have been installed.
You can do so by ( as root) -

# yum install php-gd

Another reason could be front-end can't find RRD path. Make sure it is set in conf.php


Error -

checking for apr-1-config... no
configure: error: apr-1-config binary not found in path

Reason -
APR is not installed or path of apr-1-config is not available through the PATH environment variable.


Error -
libgcc_s.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory


Solution-
Execute the following:
# ldd gmond
...
libgcc_s.so.1 => (file not found)
...


So gmond can link to libgcc


Add the following to you LDFLAGS
# setenv LDFLAGS $LDFLAGS:-R/yourgccpath/gcc-4.0.3/lib


-R records the runtime search path.


Install again
# ./configure --prefix=/opt/ganglia --sysconfdir=/opt/ganglia/etc
# make && make install


Error -
After installation, while executing gmond
apr_pollset_create failed: Invalid argument

Solution -
In your config file gmond.conf, if there is no udp_recv_channel or tcp_accept_channel
defined, gmond fails to run with this error.
Set "deaf = yes " under "globals"

Error -
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpython2.3
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [modpython.la] Error 1

Solution -
I dont remember exactly how i resolved it.
Most likely it was the linker not being able to find python.
Probably by setting library flags this error was resolved.

Error -
false cru libgetopthelper.a getopt1.o getopt.o getopt_init.o
make[2]: *** [libgetopthelper.a] Error 1

Solution -
Add /usr/ccs/bin to PATH environment variable.

In case of dependency not found errors, you could configure options, like --with-libapr, --with-libconfuse to point to dependency paths.

Error -
Some gm_protocol_xdr.c related warnings and finally build fails with this error

ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Solution -
Uninstall the dependency 'confuse' and install it by setting CFLAGS="-O3 -fPIC"
> cd ../confuse-2.7/
> make uninstall
> make clean
> env CFLAGS="-O3 -fPIC" ./configure --prefix=/opt/ganglia
> make && make install

Do a configure, make and make install and you should be good.
 

jQuery - Start date/end date datepicker calendar and datatable

This post is basically a snippet of code to address the following -
1. Attach jQuery (datepicker) calendar to start date and end date inputs.
2. Create a jQuery datatable
3. On page submit, hide submit button and show a loading image instead.

After you have downloaded jQuery and extracted it to appropriate folders,
create a php file with these contents -

<?php
 
class InitPage {
    public $jscript = "
    <script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js\"></script>

//hide the submit button after click and show loading image 
        $('[id$=submit_button]').click(function() { 
                $('#spanloader').show(); 
                $('#submit_button').hide();  
            }); 
}); 
   
//set datatable   
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#reading').dataTable({
    "bJQueryUI": true,   
    "sPaginationType": "full_numbers"});
} );

This should get you started with a data table and start date end date datepicker using jquery.

Ganglia - Basic installation and configuration guide

After playing around, with both Zabbix and Ganglia, I decided to go ahead with Ganglia. The installation is tricky but once it is installed, configuring and adding hosts is easy. Here I will discuss, installation and configuration of Ganglia. Both the client and server daemon will be installed on the same machine.


Ganglia is a monitoring system for high-performance computing systems. Ganglia comprises of two daemons. The daemon gmond, acts like a client and sends machine information( as xml fomat), to daemon gmetad which stores these statistics in a round robin database.


A PHP-based web frontend is used to dispay the graphs in near real time.
Before starting Ganglia a few dependencies are required to be installed.

# tcsh

# setenv INSTALL_DIR /opt/rrdtool-1.4.4

# setenv BUILD_DIR /opt/build/rrdbuild

# cd $BUILD_DIR  

# wget http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.4.4.tar.gz 

# gunzip -c rrdtool-1.4.4.tar.gz | tar xf – # cd rrdtool-1.4.4

# ./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR && make && make install

This would have installed round robin database. It is required only on the head node. The head node (server) would be the one where you want to install gmetad daemon.
Another dependency required for Ganglia is libconfuse.

# cd /opt/build
# wget http://bzero.se/confuse/confuse-2.6.tar.gz
# /bin/tar -xzf confuse-2.6.tar.gz
# cd confuse-2.6
# ./configure --prefix=/opt/ganglia
# env CFLAGS="-O3 -fPIC" ./configure --prefix=/opt/ganglia
# make
# make install

Now we download Ganglia source package and begin installation.

# cd /opt/build/ 

# wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/ganglia/files/ganglia%20monitoring%20core/3.1.7/ganglia-3.1.7.tar.gz/download 

# tar -xzf ganglia-3.1.7.tar.gz 

# cd ganglia-3.1.7  

# setenv CFLAGS "-I/opt/ganglia/include/ -I/opt/rrdtool-1.4.4/include"  

# setenv LDFLAGS "-L/opt/ganglia/lib/ -L/opt/rrdtool-1.4.4/lib"  

# ./configure --prefix=/opt/ganglia --with-gmetad --sysconfdir=/etc/ganglia  

# make  

# make install

Make sure the permissions are appropriate on path /opt/ganglia/rrds. This is the path where I have my round robin database.

# cd /opt/ganglia/sbin/

# ./gmond --default-config > gmond.conf

# ./gmetad --default-config > gmetad.conf

Setup config files for gmetad and gmond.conf
# vi gmond.conf

Set up your udp_send_channel to look like this:

 udp_send_channel {
  host = masterhostname
  port = 8650
  ttl = 1
}
# vi gmetad.conf

Modify directives as:

data_source "MyCluster" localhost

rrd_rootdir "/opt/ganglia/rrds"

# cp gmond.conf /etc/ganglia/.

# cp gmetad.conf /etc/ganglia/.

# cd $BUILD_DIR
# cp gmond/gmond.init /etc/rc.d/init.d/gmond

# vi /etc/rc.d/init.d/gmond

Set this variable as
GMOND=/opt/ganglia/sbin/gmond


Optional (this would enable running the daemons as an automated service) :

# chkconfig --add gmond

# chkconfig --list gmond
gmond 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/gmond start
Starting GANGLIA gmond: [ OK ]
# cd /opt/build/ganglia-3.1.7/gmetad
# cp gmetad.init /etc/rc.d/init.d/gmetad
# vi /etc/rc.d/init.d/gmetad


GMETAD=/opt/ganglia/sbin/gmetad


# chkconfig --add gmetad

# chkconfig --list gmetad
gmetad 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off


# /etc/rc.d/init.d/gmetad start
Starting GANGLIA gmetad: [ OK ]

Edit httpd.conf


Add the following lines if they are not a part of your config file.

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

Edit DirectoryIndex like

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php
Addtype application/x-httpd-php .php

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Copy “web” folder to httpd document root location


Edit conf.php in web folder:
define("RRDTOOL", "/opt/rrdtool-1.4.4/bin/rrdtool");


RRDTOOL should point to rrdtool path

# /sbin/service httpd restart

You can point your browser to the web front end location and it should display you the graphs.
