Iceweasel Flash Plugin on Kali

Iceweasel is the default web browser on Kali Linux, not longer Mozilla Firefox. But it's still based on Firefox Engine. When you first running your Kali Linux, there's not a flash player plugins which installed on Iceweasel. You can open Youtube to verify that. If you can playing any video there, maybe your Iceweasel has been installed flash player plugins. But, when you can't playing any video, you will need to install flash player plugins first.
Okay, now go to the https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer for downloading the flash player plugins from Adobe with Iceweasel. When the page loaded, select tar.gz for the other Linux, then click Download.

Downloading Flash Plugins

Lets get into your terminal and go to the directory where the file has been downloaded. You can extract the tar.gz file with command below.
root@h3:~# tar xvf install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz
Next, move the plugins (*.so) into the plugins lib of Icewasel.
root@h3:~# mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
After that, you must be copy the file inside the usr directory into your usr directory of your system.
root@h3:~# cp -r usr/* /usr
Now, the flash player plugins was installed for Iceweasel on Kali Linux. You can open the Iceweasel and type about:plugins in the address bar.

Share Connection eth0 on Kali

When I was still using Backtrack as pentest Operating System on my netbook, I need to configure everything about networking, include sharing connection over eth0 interface. I must type on the terminal to set up the interface, then set the IP and netmask, etc. After setting the interface connection, I also must to configure  iptables to forwarding the internet connection from the other interface into eth0 , and the last step I must turn on forwarding rule. It's really fun, although need several step to do it. But, when I am using Kali Linux, I realise that the step which can I do on backtrack doesn't running on Kali Linux.

Nokia N9 have maps application, both of Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive are related one to other. But the same problem with Nokia Drive on Nokia N9 also occur in Nokia Maps (see here ). Nokia Maps also need logged in Nokia Account before you can use Nokia Maps. So I think the same way with bypassing Nokia Account in Nokia Drive will be succeed too in Nokia Maps.

First, make sure you have installed Filebox and setting to show hidden files and show root filesystem. Open browser on your N9 and download Modified Nokia Maps Configuration here .

But I recommend you if there's existing Nokia Maps Configuration backup it into Maps.conf.bak the
