I need to password protect a zip file in unix and mail it using unix script.

i have tried using zip -P but it gave me the eroor that encryption was not supported.

The requirement is to provide the password in command line so that the script can zip the file using the password and send it on a particular mail on daily basis.

Please help in this regard.

i tried the gpg option, however i could not find an option to specify the password in the command line(like -p for zip command) .. this is required because the command will be a part of the script that would be run on daily basis to zip a file and password protect it and finally mail it

      It's significant growth for Linux considering the market share, so it could have had that effect I described.
    • Microsoft and Crowdstrike announce partnership on threat actor naming

      Microsoft and Crowdstrike announce partnership on threat actor naming by Pradeep Viswanathan Whenever a cyberattack is discovered, companies disclose it to the public and assign it a unique name based on their internal procedures. Unfortunately, this leads to inconsistencies, as each company has its own naming conventions. As a result, the same threat actor behind a cyberattack may end up with multiple names, causing delays and confusion in response efforts. For example, a threat actor that Microsoft refers to as Midnight Blizzard might be known as Cozy Bear, APT29, or UNC2452 by other security vendors. To address this issue, Microsoft and CrowdStrike are teaming up. These companies will align their individual threat actor taxonomies to help security professionals respond to cyberattacks with greater clarity and confidence. It’s important to note that Microsoft and CrowdStrike are not attempting to create a single naming standard. Instead, they are releasing a mapping that lists common threat actors tracked by both companies, matched according to their respective taxonomies. The mapping also includes corresponding aliases from each group’s naming system. You can view the joint threat actor mapping by Microsoft and CrowdStrike here. Although this threat actor taxonomy mapping is a joint effort between Microsoft and CrowdStrike, Google/Mandiant and Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 are expected to contribute to this initiative in the future. Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Security, wrote the following about this collaboration with CrowdStrike: As more organizations join this initiative, the collective defense against cyber threats will undoubtedly be improved.

      You make no sense since most of the stuff on YouTube is free to begin with. Comparing Netflix to YouTube is not even remotely the same. YouTube has tons of free videos to begin with, unlike Netflix, you are paying Netflix for original style of programming.

      Youtube can go screw themselves. Never ever, ever will I pay for this BS nonsense. And I encourage anyone else not to either.
