Maybe you could give atop http://www.atoptool.nl/ a try? It shows (per process) disk-IO and nicely integrates cpu/disk/network/io statistics, it can also store statistics for later playback.
When trying to trace which file is getting a lot of IO you might want to take al look at the filedescriptors in/proc//fd in conjunction with lsof/strace. I Don't know of a nicely integrated tool for that unfortunately.
It seems rather improbable that this was the same hack because these are cable modem/routers and the Belgacom hack was done on ADSL modem/routers.
Also, from TFA:
That file, it turned out, included the administrative login and password in cleartext. Chen investigated and found the same login and password could access the admin panels for every router in the SMC8014 series on Time Warner's network
In ADSL modems there may be a reason for storing the users password in the modem: ppp-authentication, for cable modems I can't think of such a reason.
Then again, if you control a router/modem you can sniff out user's passwords if the use plain-text authentication e.g. for POP3.
Well, counting objects by "grouping" them is also affected by "nurture" in that it's easier for us "westeners" to count objects if they are arranged in on a grid. We are used to "thinking rectangular" because everything around us is shaped that way (from paper to buildings to the computer screen you're looking at;D). The "be able to instantly count up to a certain number of objects" skill was shown to be very dependent on this arrangement for westeners and almost non-existant for e.g. certain tribes in Africa.
but the speed increases as the count of hashes is getting higher.
But then you go on to say:
so yes, if you had the beef and the exact setup it would of course be faster on your own machine because you wouldn't have to wait in line before hashes sent by others are cracked.....
These techniques work by taking the hash of a lot of number/letter combo's and comparing them to the hashes that are to be checked, as generating the hashes is much more cpu-intensive as checking the generated hash against a stored one there isn't much of a slowdown when you want to crack more hashes. So yes it would probably be a little bit faster to do it on your own, but it would not be significantly faster.
If you look at the top of the table you see that the 523 Euro's were earned in the last five days of the spamrun, so that's more than a hundred euro's a day. An this is only a very small-time spammer.
Nope, you can use:
HTB shaping
and IPtables
tagging to filter on just about anything you want.
port, user, ACK or regular packet etc. At least for outgoing traffic, incoming is a bit harder:)
Or use tbf and uc32 filters or cfq's or...
And the last time I looked debian stable had XFree 4 ( the old "testing" has been the new "stable" for a while now... ( still using "testing" though;-))
Apart from (maybe) calculating in different currency's here, there's the issue that for a node in a beowulf cluster, it is not neccesary to have RAID (== costly), or even a harddrive. Nor is it very likely that they used dual processors. Because of the crappy multiprocessing with x86 it would hardly be of benefit over using only single-processor boxes, while being much more cost-effective.

No no, that's the World _Series_ you're talking about ;)

The site is mirrored: 1 2 3 4 so use those if it's too slow mkay?

It seems they are now redirecting all links to the referrer, I end up on the slashdot frontpage when clicking a link ...

In the version I have here there is no "fuck" but rather the word "Belgium" which does make it a lot funnier :)

No they aren't voiced over, there's just stuff in :-P
the products that makes your mouth move strangely
when you're talking
The Dutch / Belgian beers spelled out right /. reader:
:P)
from a Dutch
Heinikin -> Heineken (non-character beer)
Grolsh -> Grolsch (my favorite Pilsner
Corsendak -> Corsendonck (really nice "special" beer)
And the last time I looked debian stable had XFree 4 ... ( still using "testing" though ;-))
( the old "testing" has been the new "stable" for a while now
Maximum of about 300 KByte downstream and 16 KByte upstream (lately more around 200 KByte down)
;-)
for 40,39/month ( about $35 )
And that's pretty affordable even for a student
( when you split the bill with your roommates
The line was meant as a JOKE !?! ;-)
geez why is it you apple people have
to be so bloody zealous all the time
This is the link to the main server and this wan DOES work #)

Anyway, thats just my 2,00 * 10^-2 Eur.
Yep, but it can also use/import
a lot of other files, and do some
serious bitmap stuff/filtering.
Some people find it extremely easy to
use (can't share that feeling though
but who am I ?)
