Toronto, The Naked City
PunWork writes "In an effort to promote wireless network security, Toronto consulting firm IpEverywhere (pun intended) has published a map of downtown Toronto, showing the location of both encrypted and unencrypted ('naked') wireless networks. Is this going to help spread awareness, or is this just going to encourage people to abuse the (apparently) ignorant? The Toronto Star has a story about the map and the consulting firm here."
Creating ActiveX Components
See Also
Component software development cuts programming time and produces more robust applications, by allowing developers to assemble applications from tested, standardized components. The move to component software, sparked by the success of products like Microsoft Visual Basic, is one of the most prominent trends in the software industry.
Microsoft has led the effort to define an open, extensible standard for software interoperability. The Component Object Model (COM), including Automation and the ActiveX specification, makes it possible for software components you create to work smoothly with software components you buy off the shelf.
Visual Basic makes ActiveX component creation happen. ActiveX controls, ActiveX Documents, code components, and applications that provide objects -- Visual Basic gives you the tools to rapidly create, debug, and deploy software components.
Getting Started
Before you begin, you should know how to use class modules to define new classes, how to create objects from classes, and how to use ActiveX components. These subjects are discussed in "Programming with Objects" and "Programming with ActiveX Components," in the Visual Basic Programmer's Guide.

Platform SDK: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
RpcServerUseAllProtseqsEx
The RpcServerUseAllProtseqsEx function tells the RPC run-time library to use all supported protocol sequences for receiving remote procedure calls.
RPC_STATUS RPC_ENTRY RpcServerUseAllProtseqsEx(
unsigned int MaxCalls,
void* SecurityDescriptor,
PRPC_POLICY Policy
);
Parameters
MaxCalls
Backlog queue length for the ncacn_ip_tcp protocol sequence. All other protocol sequences ignore this parameter. Use RPC_C_PROTSEQ_MAX_REQS_DEFAULT to specify the default value. See Remarks.
SecurityDescriptor
Pointer to an optional parameter provided for the Windows XP/2000/NT security subsystem. Used only for ncacn_np and ncalrpc protocol sequences. All other protocol sequences ignore this parameter. Using a security descriptor on the endpoint in order to make a server secure is not recommended. This parameter does not appear in the DCE specification for this API.
Policy
Pointer to the RPC_POLICY structure, which allows you to override the default policies for dynamic port allocation and binding to network interface cards (NICs) on multihomed computers (computers with multiple network cards).
Return Values
Value Meaning
RPC_S_OK The call succeeded.
RPC_S_NO_PROTSEQS There are no supported protocol sequences.
RPC_S_OUT_OF_MEMORY Sufficient memory is not available.
RPC_S_INVALID_SECURITY_DESC The security descriptor is invalid.
Remarks
The parameters and effects of RpcServerUseAllProtseqsEx subsume those of RpcServerUseAllProtseqs. The difference is the Policy parameter, which allows you to restrict port allocation for dynamic ports and allows multihomed machines to selectively bind to specified NICs.
Setting the NICFlags field of the RPC_POLICY structure to zero makes this extended API functionally equivalent to the original RpcServerUseAllProtseqs, and the server will bind to NICs based on the settings in the system registry. For information on how the registry settings define the available Internet and intranet ports, see Configuring the Windows XP/2000/NT Registry for Port Allocations and Selective Binding.
Note The flag settings in the Policy field are effective only when the ncacn_ip_tcp or ncadg_ip_udp protocol sequence is in use. For all other protocol sequences, the RPC run-time ignores these values.
A server application calls RpcServerUseAllProtseqsEx to register all supported protocol sequences with the RPC run-time library. To receive remote procedure calls, a server must register at least one protocol sequence with the RPC run-time library.
For each protocol sequence registered by a server, the RPC run-time library creates one or more endpoints through which the server receives remote procedure call requests. The RPC run-time library creates different endpoints for each protocol sequence. The endpoint name is generated by the RPC run time or the operating system. For example, for ncacn_ip_tcp, the port number is dynamically determined by the RPC run time, depending on availability and registry settings.
Note Using the RpcServerUseAllProtseqsEx function does not cause the server to listen on the following protocol sequences:
Note ncacn_nb_nb
Note ncacn_nb_tcp
Note ncacn_nb_ipx
Note ncadg_mq
Note ncacn_at_dsp
Note ncacn_http.
Note To listen on any of those protocol sequences, each sequence must be selected individually.
For MaxCalls, the value provided by the application is only a hint. The RPC run time or the Windows Sockets provider may override the value. For example, on Windows XP Personal and Professional, or Windows 2000 Professional, the value is limited to 5. Values greater than 5 are ignored and 5 is used instead. On Windows XP/2000 Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server the value will be honored.
Applications must be careful to pass reasonable values in MaxCalls. Large values on Server, Advanced Server, or Datacenter Server can cause a large amount of non-paged pool memory to be used. Using too small a value is also unfavorable, as it may result in TCP SYN packets being met by TCP RST from the server if the backlog queue gets exhausted. An application developer should balance memory footprint versus scalability requirements when determining the proper value for MaxCalls.
To selectively register protocol sequences, a server calls RpcServerUseProtseqEx, RpcServerUseProtseqIfEx, or RpcServerUseProtseqEpEx. See Server-Side Binding for a description of the routines that a server will typically call after registering protocol sequences.
Requirements
Windows NT/2000/XP: Included in Windows NT 4.0 and later.
Windows 95/98/Me: Unsupported.
Header: Declared in Rpcdce.h.
Library: Use Rpcrt4.lib.

You see Michael, the problem with this story - like so many stories on slashdot - is that NOBODY CARES about this pointless bullsh*t.
Um, I wish I had thought of that. Damn. Gotta go mark my territory now..

You know, it's a real shame that you posted this here because I've actually found this post quite useful. Right info, very wrong place. Trust me, as both a manager, and a long time political activist, the tone and time do count. Otherwise you just become yet another strident Operation Rescue-type wacko discrediting the very concern that you sought to promulgate,
Too bad you didn't have the self control to find a better discussion. Couldn't you at least have posted this as part of a YRO discussion?
Sadly agreeing with the general judgement of TROLL!!,

Data is the lever, rigor the fulcrum, brains the force that drives it all.

The reason China blocked Slashdot is that when Jiang Xemin saw at how good "The Editors" at Slashdot are at suppressing the community, he knew that if more of his party members saw this degree of suppressive efficacy, he would be deposed, for the good of the people, of course, in favor of Rob Malda as the all new supreme dictator and premier of China.
It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. - Sir Winston Churchill (Especially when your democratic peers twist democracy into a reason commit censorship, to squash dissenting or unpopular opinions, and refer to them as trolls, flaimbait overrated or offtopic when they aren't any of the said)
The reason there are two senators for each state is so that one can be the designated driver. - Jay Leno.
The Constitution poses no threat to our current form of government. (Death to those who defile the root documents of a free nation to make economic freedom Supercede Freedom! Freedom First! Free market Second!)
Occam's Razor "Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily." "Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate" "Frustra fit per plura quod potest fieri per pauciora" "Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem" Translation: " "Simple explanations are preferred to complex ones" Modern fucking translation "JUST DO IT."
Reading Slashdot at anything above -1 is like trying to put a shit filter on your ass.
Get busy moderating this down, you little pack of obedient prefects of the corrupt state! You are the vanguards of purity, and dissent is not allowed!
