Wireshark has a CLI program called tshark that can dump the dissectors raw (or xml) output. It would be nice to have complete curses wireshark UI, either by reusing tshark xml output or by making another ui program.

Looking for hackers with the skills:

      could also use libyui which has an ncurses backend (in addition to QT and GTK ones)

    Add a machine-readable output to dmidecode by jdelvare

    Description

    There have been repeated requests for a machine-friendly dmidecode output over the last decade. During Hack Week 19, 5 years ago, I prepared the code to support alternative output formats, but didn't have the time to go further. Last year, Jiri Hnidek from Red Hat Linux posted a proof-of-concept implementation to add JSON output support. This is a fairly large pull request which needs to be carefully reviewed and tested.

    Goals

    Review Jiri's work and provide constructive feedback. Merge the code if acceptable. Evaluate the costs and benefits of using a library such as json-c.


    FizzBuzz OS by mssola

    Project Description

    FizzBuzz OS (or just fbos) is an idea I've had in order to better grasp the fundamentals of the low level of a RISC-V machine. In practice, I'd like to build a small Operating System kernel that is able to launch three processes: one that simply prints "Fizz", another that prints "Buzz", and the third which prints "FizzBuzz". These processes are unaware of each other and it's up to the kernel to schedule them by using the timer interrupts as given on openSBI (fizz on % 3 seconds, buzz on % 5 seconds, and fizzbuzz on % 15 seconds).

    This kernel provides just one system call, write, which allows any program to pass the string to be written into stdout.

    This project is free software and you can find it here.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    • Better understand the RISC-V SBI interface.
    • Better understand RISC-V in privileged mode.
    • Have fun.

    Results

    The project was a resounding success add-emoji Lots of learning, and the initial target was met.


    FastFileCheck work by pstivanin

    Description

    FastFileCheck is a high-performance, multithreaded file integrity checker for Linux. Designed for speed and efficiency, it utilizes parallel processing and a lightweight database to quickly hash and verify large volumes of files, ensuring their integrity over time.

    https://github.com/paolostivanin/FastFileCheck

    Goals

    • Release v1.0.0

    Design overwiew:

    • Main thread (producer): traverses directories and feeds the queue (one thread is more than enough for most use cases)
    • Dedicated consumer thread: manages queue and distributes work to threadpool
    • Worker threads: compute hashes in parallel

    This separation of concerns is efficient because:

    • Directory traversal is I/O bound and works well in a single thread
    • Queue management is centralized, preventing race conditions
    • Hash computation is CPU-intensive and properly parallelized


    ESETv2 Emulator / interpreter by m.crivellari

    Description

    ESETv2 is an intriguing challenge developed by ESET, available on their website under the "Challenge" menu. The challenge involves an "assembly-like" language and a Python compiler that generates .evm binary files.

    This is an example using one of their samples (it prints N Fibonacci numbers):

    .dataSize 0
    .code
    
    loadConst 0, r1 # first
    loadConst 1, r2 # second
    
    loadConst 1, r14 # loop helper
    
    consoleRead r3
    
    loop:
        jumpEqual end, r3, r15
    
        add r1, r2, r4
        mov r2, r1
        mov r4, r2
    
        consoleWrite r1
    
        sub r3, r14, r3
        jump loop
    end:
    hlt
    

    This language also supports multi-threading. It includes instructions such as createThread to start a new thread, joinThread to wait until a thread completes, and lock/unlock to facilitate synchronization between threads.

    Goals

    • create a full interpreter able to run all the available samples provided by ESET.
    • improve / optimize memory (eg. using bitfields where needed as well as avoid unnecessary memory allocations)

    Resources

    Achivements

    Project still not complete. Added lock / unlock instruction implementation but further debug is needed; there is a bug somewhere. Actually the code it works for almost all the examples in the samples folder. 1 of them is not yet runnable (due to a missing "write" opcode implementation), another will cause the bug to show up; still not investigated, anyhow.


    Hack on rich terminal user interfaces by amanzini

    Description

    TUIs (Textual User Interface) are a big classic of our daily workflow. Many linux users 'live' in the terminal and modern implementations have a lot to offer : unicode fonts, 24 bit colors etc.

    Goals

    • Explore the current available solution on modern languages and implement a PoC , for example a small maze generator, porting of a classic game or just display the HackWeek cute logo.
    • Practice some Go / Rust coding and programming patterns
    • Fiddle around, hack, learn, have fun
    • keep a development diary, practice on project documentation

    New openSUSE-welcome by lkocman

    Project Description

    Let's revisit our existing openSUSE welcome app.

    My goal was to show Leap 16 in a new coat. Welcome app adds to the first time use experience. We've recently added donation button to our existing welcome.

    Some things that I recently wanted to address were EOL and possibly upgrade notification.

    I've already done some experiments with mint welcome app, but not sure if it's better than the existing one.

    There is also a PR to rework existing app https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-welcome/pull/36 (this should be considered as an option too)

    Goal for this Hackweek

    New welcome app, possibly with EOL notification for Leap.

    1) Welcome application(s) with (rebrand changes) maintained under github.com/openSUSE

    2) Application is submitted to openSUSE:Factory && openSUSE:Leap:16.0

    3) Updated needles in openQA (probably post hackweek)

    Resources

    Reddit discussion about the best welcome app out there.

    Github repo for the current welcome app.


    Finish gfxprim application multiplexor (window manager) by metan

    Project Description

    I've implemented drivers for a few e-ink displays during the last hackweek and made sure that gfxprim widgets run nicely on e-ink as well. The missing piece to have a portable e-ink computer/reader/music player/... is a application that can switch between currently running applications and that can start new applications as well. Half of the solution is ready, there is a proxy gfxprim backend where applications render into a piece of a shared memory and input events (e.g. keyboard, mouse) can be multiplexed. What is missing is an interface (possibly touchscreen friendly as well) to make it user friendly.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    Make nekowm usable "window manager".

    Design the new UI for storage configuration at Agama by ancorgs

    Description

    We are in the process of re-designing the web user interface to configure storage at Agama. We expected to have a clear idea of what we wanted before starting Hack Week. But the idea is still not that clear. So I will use use my Hack Week time to try several prototypes since I really want this to be done.

    Goals

    Have a prototype using Patternfly components and addressing all the use-cases we want to cover. Easy for the easy cases. Capable for the complex ones.
