I really admire Fyodor , and his capable mind, but I have a couple of comments:
1) The -D option in nmap used to launch decoy scans while a real scan is being done, by spoofing the source address of legitimate servers and mixing these bogus scans with the real port scan. The target system will respond to the spoofed addresses and the real port scan.
2) "But sometimes I will launch targeted attacks at specific companies"
May some one please tell me what do these two points imply??/*Why is there a penguin on my desktop?!*/
very well designed. I have been using it for a couple years now. The signal/slot mechanism(which i belive is abstracted from borland's VCL structure) is quite impressing. Provides easy access to the methods of ur components... well, propably most of you know this already:-)
IBM is pushing Linux all the way, so as Oracle. They put massive investments in it. But if Microsoft really does take this step, what would the other OS's do.
Will Microsoft have the power to stop them (and it will be the world of the colored butterfly), or will not they be effected... in short, besides Linux, who will be hurt?.
And will IBM let them do that,(cause this will affect their AIX system too...) IBM has been relatively silent about this, Sun, IRIX...
I think if they can really do that, then Microsoft wont think twice before paying that billion $'s (as i recall). Its worth it(at least from their point of view)
There is always this debate about viruses and hacks always available for M$ just because their SW is more widespread the *nix. Actually i totally disagree to this, i think they have a serious problem with their core engines, the basics or pilgrims they are standing upon are corrupt. The more they build over these corrupt basics, the output gets to be quite wacky. They tend to fix the wackys tuff with no use, cause the core is not optimized or secure..
/*When ur 1 of the few to land on ur feet, what would u do 2 make ends meet??!*/
Will system designers go after M$'s stuff after what M$'s attitude and history in the past 10-15 years been. I mean M$ proved that it does not seek best performance, is not after user's intrest, does not care for for service. It cares for the greens. In the past few years they did a lot of stuff that made it clear now that they were putting us in a box that can stick us to use there products only(with no respect to its quality)
so the real question is are you willing to go through this again?
I donna wanna be depressing, but lesstif does not even cover half the implementation of Motiff. QT sounds really neat though, but our users cant stop using the application, so we made a fast port to linux, so they would use the port, and at the same time, rewrite the whole damn thing in QT+python as a totally new version or release or what ever u might call it.
yes i agree with u. One of the things that is giving me a tough time actually is the Motif library. Something is very wrong with the interoperatiblity of Motiff on AIX/Solaris/Irix/Linux....
One method u can overcome this endian issue, is to make al ur files in big endian, use htonl, and nltoh in ur reads and writes, where htonl is "host to netowrk language". Network language is known to be in big endian, so all ur calls will write with htonl to the file system(in big endian), and read with nltoh(will convert the big to little endian on the fly)...
He is talking about a simulation thing, usually these apps deal with very large files, might reach upto 15 to 20 GB's... The nice thing about linux though, is that it can read files larger than 2 G's.
Unix costs a lot of money, and i do mean A LOT of money, espically when it comes to expensive hardware maintaince, and also software. That does not mean that Linux's maintaince is for free, but surely there is no comparison to Unix. But out of my personal experience, nothing is as stable as Unix, not evn Linux, (we went through hell to get the simulator running on Linux), but you get the advantage of it being very cost effective, and the stability is not as good, but is good(surely better than M$, which is cheaper than Unix by the way)
Well , i am in the middle of the project right now, and it was a hard way. We had simulation packages tunning on SC nodes, and that have been converted to linux. The visualization and data extraction tools are currently being migrated to linux too(from AIX, SGI and and Solaris 8). We are using UNIRAS graphics librarybya avs. Problems you are going to meet are:
1) Big/Little endian issue, and this is one of the worst problems u will meet in your life:).
2) There are minor code changes that you are going to do, concerning memory allocation.
3) Ofcorse you will have to take care of large file support.:) (that one was fun)..
Well, thats what i can remeber at the moment../*Why is there a penguin on my desktop?!*/
I had to experiences with SuSE, one was with SuSE 6, and the other was with United Linux(which i think is all SuSE, SCO did not strike a keyboard in that project). SuSE 6 was actually in the old, but back then, it was amazing. As for United LInux, i am impressed. I installed it on P4, with Nivida, and it was very smooth, no problems at all, also have installed it on VMware which was also quite smooth, and no trouble at all. One thing i like about SuSE is the Reiser file system, its quite neat, quite fast when it comes to large files./*Why is there a penguin on my sceen?!*/
Well isnt this the target that palladium is supposed to achieve(or at least the claimed target by M$). So is this like a palladium competitior, and if it is, why didnt M$ use this approach?

that the process of extracting hydrogen for use as fuel is its self polluting...
/*Is there a CHEMIST in the house?!*/
Hydrogen production from biomass, though promising, is still in the early research and development phase. Basically, biomass includes all organic substances, such as plants, wood chips, bales of straw, liquid manure, and organic wastes. Currently, there is no commercially available process for producing hydrogen from biomass, but the method is to use a high-temperature process to convert biomass into hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
I am no chemist, but biomass from organic substances is polluting....
