OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 Packages for FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE

Back in January I described installing OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 on FreeBSD 5.2 RELEASE. I used packages from the FreeBSD OpenOffice Porting Team. I am happy to report I installed OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 on FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE using packages hosted at http://oootranslation.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/ooomisc/FreeBSD/.

The FreeBSD project does not maintain precompiled packages for OpenOffice.org (OOo), presumably because it takes too long for the build cluster to create the packages from source. Therefore, one cannot do 'pkg_add -vr openoffice' and expect to download packages from a FreeBSD FTP site.

This means that you usually download the appropriate OOo package from the aforementioned Web site and execute 'pkg add -v OOo_1.1.3_FreeBSD53Intel_install.tbz' . If you are missing a dependency, however, you must add it manually. Consider what happened when I took these actions: 

pkg_add -v OOo_1.1.3_FreeBSD53Intel_install.tbz 

Requested space: 274391836 bytes, free space: 4726294528 bytes in /var/tmp/instmp.vf16XV

Package 'openoffice-1.1.3' depends on 'freetype2-2.1.7_3' with 'print/freetype2'

 origin.

 - already installed.

Package 'openoffice-1.1.3' depends on 'expat-1.95.8' with 'textproc/expat2' origin.

 - already installed.

Package 'openoffice-1.1.3' depends on 'ORBit-0.5.17_2' with 'devel/ORBit' origin.

pkg_add: could not find package ORBit-0.5.17_2 !

pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed

Because ORBit was not installed, I added it manually. Then I was able to install the OOo package: 

pkg_add -vr ORBit

pkg_add -v OOo_1.1.3_FreeBSD53Intel_install.tbz 

extract: Package name is openoffice-1.1.3

extract: CWD to /usr/local

extract: /usr/local/bin/openoffice-1.1.3

extract: /usr/local/bin/openoffice-1.1.3-sagenda

OpenOffice.org Build 1.1.3 Personal Install How-To



Written by:     Martin Blapp 



OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 will soon been installed in

${PREFIX}/OpenOffice.org-1.1.3



1 User installation

-------------------



Just type "openoffice" after you have successfully

installed the package. If there is no installed

OO.org dir in hour homedir, you'll be prompted to

install some files and choose a installed JDK.

The setup installs a "OpenOffice.org1.1.3" folder

in your homedir.



If the setup tells you there is already an installed

version, you may look at the file ".sversionrc" in

your homedir. In this file OpenOffice and StarOffice

have both a line for each version which is installed.

After removing the problematic line you should be able to

install again.



2 Start OO.org

--------------



There are some wrappers installed for fast startup.

Add "${PREFIX}/bin/" to your PATH and you will be able

to use them.



${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-1.1.3

${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-1.1.3-sagenda

${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-1.1.3-scalc

${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-1.1.3-sdraw

${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-1.1.3-setup

${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-1.1.3-sfax

${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-1.1.3-simpress

${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-1.1.3-spadmin

${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-1.1.3-sweb

${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-1.1.3-swriter

When done I ran 'openoffice-1.1.3', which invoked a setup program. When it was finished, I was able to start OOo with the same 'openoffice-1.1.3' command.

Zeek in Action Videos

Image
This is a quick note to point blog readers to my Zeek in Action YouTube video series for the Zeek network security monitoring project .  Each video addresses a topic that I think might be of interest to people trying to understand their network using Zeek and adjacent tools and approaches, like Suricata, Wireshark, and so on.  I am especially pleased with Video 6 on monitoring wireless networks . It took me several weeks to research material for this video. I had to buy new hardware and experiment with a Linux distro that I had not used before -- Parrot .  Please like and subscribe, and let me know if there is a topic you think might make a good video.

MITRE ATT&CK Tactics Are Not Tactics

Image
Just what are "tactics"? Introduction MITRE ATT&CK  is a great resource, but something about it has bothered me since I first heard about it several years ago. It's a minor point, but I wanted to document it in case it confuses anyone else. The MITRE ATT&CK Design and Philosophy document from March 2020 says the following: At a high-level, ATT&CK is a behavioral model that consists of the following core components: • Tactics, denoting short-term, tactical adversary goals during an attack; • Techniques, describing the means by which adversaries achieve tactical goals; • Sub-techniques, describing more specific means by which adversaries achieve tactical goals at a lower level than techniques; and • Documented adversary usage of techniques, their procedures, and other metadata. My concern is with MITRE's definition of "tactics" as "short-term, tactical adversary goals during an attack," which is oddly recursive. The key word in the tacti
