The are not corrupt. mpeg_encode (the software from Berkeley he used to encode these doesn't output mpegs the way MSMP likes). He suggests XAnim for Linux. There are other Windows alternatives listed at davecentral that you might want to look into.

The workaround is simple, just replace the file cdfs.vxd on your Win9x machine, then when you go into explorer and open up a music CD, you will see a list of WAV files in various formats. Simply drag them onto your HD, then use whatever software you want to convert from WAV to MP3.

The author's site isn't responding, but you can download the file from Dave Central fairly reliably.

I've been using KaZaA since it got popular (after napster) and I just recently upgraded to the latest version last night. Due to license agreements, you can opt not to install top text, as well as the other "enhancement" spyware that kazaa tries to install as well.

If your so inclined not to have spy software installed from P2P programs such as KaZaA and Audiogalaxy, I'd suggest using Ad Aware to find and remove the offending programs/cookies/etc

What about reverse engineering catdoc or Word2X? I've been able able to open Word files without a problem with them, and when I need to save I download the files to my laptop as text to save them under Mickeysoft, otherwise I try to save them with StarOffice (which borks things out every here and there).

The program could use existing code with a tcl or Python shell to get it done, maybe someone should contact the authors of the programs (Word2X, Catdoc) and come up with a collaboration.

I think NetPD should sue NetPD for using their name.

Looks like "flipz" is more than just a script kiddie: attrition lists her as having cracked jpl, duracell, people's bank, a bunch of .mils, department of veteran affairs and some other stuff. http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/flipz.ht ml

she doesn't seem to be very creative in her replacements/alterations, though.

  Well shit, I've written my name in marker on federal buildings, phone booths, mailboxes... I'm certainly more than your average defacer of random crap. :)
  
  
  
  Seriously. When someone releases information that's of use to someone as result of their cracking, or actually *accomplishes* something aside from defacement... maybe *then* I'll be impressed. Until then - whatever.

  The sites weren't all that high security. Oooh, the "US Army Dental Care System" computer was compromized, while it is in the .mil hierarchy, I doubt that much effort went into securing it.
  
  
  
  I'd say flipz is probably a very busy script kiddie. The cracked sites certainly don't show much imagination.

    The problem is that if a single .mil/.gov/etc site is compromised, there is the distinct possibility that other sites can be compromised. Simple example: many .mil sites only allow access to "public" web pages from other .mil sites. The same goes for .edu and .gov sites... The path to a final destination is much shorter than from "the big bad internet"... Another simple scenario would be if although THAT machine was not "secured" since it has nothing of importance on it, there is a slight posssibility that the machine is on a network segment that in turn has access to another segment that DOES have material that may be valuable to someone else...
    
    
    
    BTW: The above scenario is exactly why many "high security" sites do not allow employees to have "important" material even on their normal day-to-day office machines..

Another non-functioning site was "uncertainty.microsoft.com." The purpose of that site was not known.

Whatever it was, that name doesn't seem to resolve anymore. I guess they must be covering their tracks for now, because fear.microsoft.com and doubt.microsoft.com also don't resolve. :-)

  Personally, I don't see much difference between the "new" (web page) crackers and the "old" (copy protection) crackers. Both require basic assembly knowledge, and the ability to use a debugger. And lots and lots and lots and lots of time on your hands. Obviously I am ignoring those amazing buffer overruns exploits where people manage to get code in through a function that strips out all characters but '9' 'a' and 'q', but your average exploit is not that impressive an achievement. Nor is your average software crack. I fully expect to be flamed by the script kiddies and the h4x0r groupies. Please at least attempt to keep it coherent.

Now look what you've done.
You've spawned a definition of foobar which is different from other foobars. From now on web searchers will be distracted from their search for the common ancestor of foobar by finding this foobar discussion. And now that you've created this foobar meaning, all other foobars will vanish.

Geeks Into the Streets is a Baltimore area ad-hoc group that works to bring 'net access to poor children. Jeff Covey, who started the whole thing, maintains Andover's Linux.DaveCentral site. Our good friend Joe "the mad Russian" Valadorsky of Amnet Computer contributed a LOT of equipment and expertise, and a whole LOT of others have chipped in with parts, labor, advice, and encouragement.

All of this was an outgrowth of the UMBC LUG that meets at University of Maryland Baltimore County.

Any LUG could do this. This just happens to be an excellent, very helpful and public-minded bunch. If you want to learn more about how your LUG could do something similar, please contact either me or Jeff. We're both *more than happy* to help other people get involved in community "geek outreach projects" by starting their own ad-hoc groups.
