Ubuntu 16 - VMWare Player 12 - GCC Not found

First solution
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source 
wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/player-12.5.9.zip 
unzip player-12.5.9.zip 
cd vmware-host-modules-player-12.5.9/vmmon-only/ 
make 
cd ../vmnet-only/ 
make 
cd .. 
mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc 
cp vmmon.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vmmon.ko 
cp vmnet.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vmnet.ko 
depmod -a /etc/init.d/vmware restart


Second solution

mkdir ~/vmmodules #create a temp folder and copy files.
cp /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar ~/vmmodules/ 
# make the modules manually 
tar -xvf vmmon.tar 
cd vmmon-only 
make 
cd .. 
sudo cp vmmon.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/misc/vmmon.ko.gz 
tar -xvf vmnet.tar 
cd vmnet-only 
make 
cd .. 
sudo cp vmnet.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/misc/vmnet.ko.gz 
#Then reload the modules and restart vmware service, vmplayer should works now. 
sudo depmod -a 
sudo systemctl restart vmware


Thrid solution

#install the right version of gcc
$sudo apt-get install g++-4.9 

Trick

$sudo sed 's/gcc version 5.4.0/gcc version 6.4.0/' /proc/version > /tmp/version
$sudo mount --bind /tmp/version /proc/version
$sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
$sudo umount /proc/version && rm /tmp/version

SSH Skip port forwarding

Instant terminal sharing
https://tmate.io/


Share your UNIX terminal in seconds!

Share local machine port to public access
https://serveo.net/

$./serveo.sh tcp 5432 0

vs ngrok
Serveo is an excellent alternative to ngrok. Serveo was inspired by ngrok and attempts to serve many of the same purposes. The primary advantage of Serveo over ngrok is the use of your existing SSH client, so there's no client application to install.

Other slight advantages include preservation of URLs across reconnect for free (ngrok allows this only for paid accounts) and in-terminal request inspection and replay (ngrok uses a web interface).

vs OpenSSH

Using Serveo instead of OpenSSH frees you from having to configure and maintain a server. It also handles HTTPS and subdomain generation, two features that complicate a typical SSH port-forwarding setup.

          PCX

Server Side (PCX Need root permission)

$sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

AllowTcpForwarding yes
GatewayPorts yes


$sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=7004/udp [--permanent]
$sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=7004/tcp [--permanent]

Target PCB

$ssh -f -N -R 7004:127.0.0.1:22 -l user_PCX -p port PCX(ip/domain name)
This means open port 7004 on PCX forwarding to port 22, PCX will start to listen on port 7004.

Source PCA
$ssh PCX(ip/domain name) -l user_PCB -p 7004

Enjoy!

Linux root password reset

Mode 1:Recover mode

In recover mode try to remount and after that change password

mount -o remount,rw /
 
Mode 2: Using live

mkdir /mnt/recover
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/recover
 
chroot /mnt/recover
 
passwd  #or
passwd user 
exit
umount /mnt/recover

Other way : Using files(for root or any user)
 
 /etc/passwd
 /etc/shadow
  
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
to
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
