I am trying to grep through a file which has multiple date timestamps.

I want to grep using a string like 202309 but return the whole date.
The date goes 6 more positions to the right.

For example 202309190615
202309180415
202309170615

if possible I would like to take it one step further returning only unique timestamps in the output.

Researchers have discovered a never-before-seen backdoor for Linux that's being used by a threat actor linked to the Chinese government. From a report: The new backdoor originates from a Windows backdoor named Trochilus, which was first seen in 2015 by researchers from Arbor Networks, now known as Netscout. They said that Trochilus executed and ran only in memory, and the final payload never appeared on disks in most cases. That made the malware difficult to detect. Researchers from NHS Digital in the UK have said Trochilus was developed by APT10, an advanced persistent threat group linked to the Chinese government that also goes by the names Stone Panda and MenuPass. Other groups eventually used it, and its source code has been available on GitHub for more than six years. Trochilus has been seen being used in campaigns that used a separate piece of malware known as RedLeaves. In June, researchers from security firm Trend Micro found an encrypted binary file on a server known to be used by a group they had been tracking since 2021. By searching VirusTotal for the file name, ââlibmonitor.so.2, the researchers located an executable Linux file named "mkmon." This executable contained credentials that could be used to decrypt the libmonitor.so.2 file and recover its original payload, leading the researchers to conclude that "mkmon" is an installation file that delivered and decrypted libmonitor.so.2. The Linux malware ported several functions found in Trochilus and combined them with a new Socket Secure (SOCKS) implementation. The Trend Micro researchers eventually named their discovery SprySOCKS, with "spry" denoting its swift behavior and the added SOCKS component. SprySOCKS implements the usual backdoor capabilities, including collecting system information, opening an interactive remote shell for controlling compromised systems, listing network connections, and creating a proxy based on the SOCKS protocol for uploading files and other data between the compromised system and the attacker-controlled command server.

Hi, everyone :-)

I would like to ask how I can get Brave to run on my KDE Plasma desktop on Artix?
It seems to run fine on GNOME but under KDE It results in the following errors:

I use Linux Mint 20 -xfce 64 bit (Ulyana)
I had no problem setting wifi up on my HP laptop. It just installed on it's own.
My friend is staying with me and bought an HP laptop similar to mine.
I installed the same Linux I use and it installed well.
Except, the "Enable wifi" option doesn't appear.
"All users may connect to this network" is on
At first, the bluetooth symbol showed when I hit the wifi key (airplane). But nothing now.
I tried to set up wifi manually, and type everything in like mine, but it didn't fix it. I don't have her device number, nor know where to get it. So, not sure if that is the problem...
I was going to try to Ethernet her laptop to my router, but I need to get a plug. Thinking Ethernet plug to HDMI. Have to go to my Internet company and ask.
I know some about computers, but not real techy.
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks!

In today's increasingly distributed work landscape, providing remote access to Linux devices is critical for organizations embracing location flexibility. Employees utilizing Linux machines need the ability to securely connect from anywhere to remain productive. Likewise, IT teams require remote Linux access for efficient troubleshooting, maintenance, and support across decentralized teams and infrastructure.

With proper configuration using the right protocols and tools, organizations can provide robust and secure remote Linux desktops to distributed workforces. However, setting up effective remote access for Linux can pose challenges given the diversity of distributions and use cases involved.

The Benefits of Remote Linux Desktop Capabilities

Linux is a highly popular and customizable open source operating system leveraged across personal devices, servers, cloud infrastructure, and more. Leading Linux distributions include Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, Debian, openSUSE, Arch, and CentOS. This Linux ecosystem provides excellent security, performance, flexibility, and cost savings.

However, the same adaptability that makes Linux advantageous also leads to complexity in setting up remote desktop access. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Enabling Linux remote connectivity requires considering:

• The target Linux distribution and version
• Device types from desktops to mobile
• The operating system of the accessing client
• Network configurations and bandwidth
• Chosen remote access protocols and software
• Use cases like troubleshooting versus everyday access

Despite these challenges, building the capability for Linux remote desktops delivers significant benefits:

• Employees retain full access to files, settings, and apps on their Linux machines from anywhere with an internet connection. This improves productivity for remote and mobile workers.
• Organizations avoid costs associated with purchasing additional devices to have Linux access in multiple locations or while traveling.
• IT teams gain efficiency by remotely troubleshooting and administering Linux devices. Issues can be swiftly diagnosed and resolved.
• Remote collaboration on Linux machines becomes seamless for distributed or hybrid teams.
• With remote access, Linux devices can be flexibly used from different client types based on user preferences, such as Linux desktops, Windows PCs, Macs, tablets, and smartphones.
• Overall equipment expenses and travel costs are reduced by enabling anytime, anywhere access to Linux machines for employees and IT staff.

Key Protocols and Tools for Linux Remote Connectivity

A few primary protocols dominate for accessing Linux remotely. Each has pros and cons to weigh based on use cases:
