Just open the buffer file in linux as you would a normal text file, or you could automatically fill the Ubuntu clipboard using something like 'incron' and 'xclip'. Ravie Lakshmanan Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered an ongoing malware campaign that heavily relies on AutoHotkey (AHK) scripting language to deliver multiple remote access trojans (RAT) such as Revenge RAT, LimeRAT, AsyncRAT, Houdini, and Vjw0rm on target Windows systems. The address to the shared file ('paste') is a Samba share on the Linux machine, but it could just as well be on the windows machine as a share accessible by Ubuntu. 'Ctrl- WinKey-C' will copy from the shared buffer file filling the windows paste/copy buffer with whatever is there, maybe something that has just been added from the Linux machine.

The keypress 'Ctrl- WinKey-V' will paste from the windows paste buffer directly to the shared file. Put/get clipboard to/from a file accessible by linux and windows.

ahk file, or add the code to your hotkeys if you're already running AutoHotKey. If you are using a network that has both Linux and Ubuntu machines you might sometimes want to share text quickly between them like an address from the browser, or a snippet of text.ĪutoHotKey is a free, open source scripting application that can quickly provide an extension to the normal windows copy/paste behaviour. There is no 'just works' packaged solution with GUI.
