new Linux user here. I was trying to automate the launch of OpenVPN, by placing this code into a .sh file and then launching it.



openvpn --config vpnbook-us1-tcp443.ovpn


After executing this command, I am brought to a text prompt where I am supposed to input the username (vpnbook) and then the password. Is there a command that will allow me to automatically input these two sections of text so that I don't have to type them in every time? Thanks.

          Create a file to hold your auth details, with the first line being that username and the second being your password.



          You can then modify your .ovpn file, adding a line:
          auth-user-pass THATFILE



          That should automatically handle those details for you.

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
