All the SSL will protect, is the inital transfer of the Java Applet to your computer. SSL has no bearing over the connection created by QuickBuddy to the Big Bad Aol(tm) server.
Cops arent always the most bright computerwise, and if you say confused a scanner with an external disk, youd be unhappy. Take it all, keep the configuration constant.
it was siezed. The student is facing criminal charges, so they siezed his computer so they could do forensic stuff to it. Much like a car might be siezed if they thought you killed someone.
We have like 6 Fullon 2x2s and they are nice machines, if not a little expensive. They are very reliable(we have one with 170 days of uptime), but on nice components(the 440GX+ chipset, with a 2930 SCSI controller, intel EEpro 10/100 nics (3 of them) and Quatum Atlas 10k drives), and have these pretty blue lights on the front. A bit expensive, but it usually makes the PHBs
happy to get a big name for hardware(they think it means better support, bah!)
cfengine is meant for this sort of thing, with it you can easily mirror config files accros the network, have it tidy files, and do trip wire like things. Its a great product, and its free (in both senses). Basically, you tell it how to do tasks in a class sense, this is how you upgrade perl on a solaris box, this is how you do it on a linux box. As a result, you can share code between classes(on a solaris or linux box, do this). Its a *great* system.
Actually, a port scan would be more like, what wrong noticing where the doors and windows are. A port scan doesnt attempt intrusion, just finds out what services are running. There are legitimate reasons for port scans.
Once a good 3-4% of AIM users are using Linux, or AOL starts offering its paid services via Linux devices, you should expect to see GAIM, TiK and the other OSS AIM clients get blocked out just as agressively as MSN Instant Messenger has been.
there is a difference between creating your own client to a service, and making a *gateway* to a service. AOL stopped MSN beacuse they were, effectivly, reselling their service(using AIM, with ads for MSN). The didnt object to the unoffical client, it was the gateway they didnt like.
Well i guess you could call it a PDA, with some special software just for math. Most calculators do more than just 4 functions(try to integrate on your palm)
I was looking at how the QNX kernel offers only core services like threading, IPC, process creation, memory management, initial interrupt
handling, etc. Everything else functions as a process within it's own memory space.
t's not - in NT, file systems, drivers for devices such as disk and network controllers, and network protocol implementations run in kernel mode in a fashion
similar to the way they function in various UNIX systems.
I Belive NT *was* a microkernel (3.5.1 ), even the GUI ran in userspace (and netorking would contintue even if the gui crashed)
Well its a redhat 7.0 beta which means it has two strikes against it. First being that it is beta. The other that its the beta to a redhat.0 release. I really agree with the security article that was posted a while ago that the redhat.0 releases arent usually that good, and tend to be the real bleeding edge.
that said, i like their short release cycle. Debian(prob. my favorite) has a *long* cycle **long** ***long*** (you get the point). I wish they would take an example from redhat.
Normally (non-promisc) the hardware filters out packets that dont match your MAC. When you go into promisc mode, this is moved into the domain of the OS.
Now the way to find out is to send frames with valid IP data, but to a invalid MAC. Normally the card would filter this out, but *gasp* it doesnt, its in promisc mode.
Thats how the promisc scanners find data. Some OSs will drop the invalid MAC (realizing its not their own) others accept it assuming that the hardware would filter it out
Coldfusion used to have a java applet that would allow you to index and search the html manuals. You could write him a little applet like that. HTML is the way to go.
What if they did sperate the OS from the GUI? Like im sure someone can think of a way to do it.
What if they could make windows apps more stable(i.e. a crash wont take the entire system)? im sure they could(again more minds == better results)
What if they made a windows were chaning the IP didnt require a reboot?
I dont think they should try to aim to make windows over again, i think they should try to make somthing thats a lot like windows, but better. Sort of a little bit of OS glue behind WINE.
