The hidden beauty of the A* algorithm

dame contexto para la frase "Temo a los griegos incluso cuando traen regalos" [ChatGPT]

Esta es una frase famosa del poema "Laocoonte" de Virgilio, que es un poeta romano del siglo I a.C. En el poema, Laocoonte, un sacerdote troyano, está advirtiendo a su pueblo sobre el caballo de madera gigante que los griegos han dejado fuera de las puertas de la ciudad de Troya como un supuesto regalo de paz. Laocoonte tiene sospechas y no confía en los griegos, y esta frase es su advertencia de que incluso cuando los griegos ofrecen algo aparentemente amistoso, deberían ser tratados con precaución y desconfianza. En la historia de la Guerra de Troya, los troyanos ignoran la advertencia de Laocoonte y aceptan el caballo de madera, lo que finalmente conduce a la caída de Troya.

I want to usa a socks5 proxy, I want to install the simplest one that runs in linux. [ChatGPT]

One simple option for setting up a SOCKS5 proxy on Linux is to use the "dante" package, which provides a lightweight and easy-to-configure SOCKS server.

Here are the basic steps to install and configure dante as a SOCKS5 proxy on a Linux server:

1. Install the dante-server package using your distribution's package manager. For example, on Ubuntu, you can run:

   sql
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install dante-server
   

2. Edit the /etc/socks.conf file to configure the proxy settings. Here's an example configuration file that allows connections from any IP address and requires authentication with a username and password:

   yaml
   logoutput: /var/log/socks.log
   
   internal: eth0 port = 1080
   external: eth0
   
   method: username # Require username/password authentication
   user.privileged: root
   user.notprivileged: nobody
   user.libwrap: nobody
   
   client pass {
       from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0
       log: connect disconnect error
       method: username # Require username/password authentication
   }
   
   socksmethod: username # Require username/password authentication
   

   Note: You should replace eth0 with the name of the network interface that you want to use for the proxy server.

3. Start the dante server using the command:

   sql
   sudo systemctl start danted.service
   

   You can also enable the service to start automatically at boot time using the command:

   bash
   sudo systemctl enable danted.service
   

That's it! Your SOCKS5 proxy should now be up and running on port 1080, and you can configure your applications to use it by specifying the IP address and port of the Linux server as the SOCKS proxy. For example, in a web browser, you can set the SOCKS proxy in the network settings to "127.0.0.1:1080" (assuming you're running the browser on the same machine as the proxy).

Happy hacking!!!
