    sorry about the ad copy there guys, we were going to add something like "Has anyone used this?" or "I work with XYZ, and can't work without it" but we're tired, and we know you don't really read this shit.

  16. Re:Er, what do you mean "strange"? on We've Been Hacked... or Have We? · · Score: 1

    just for one - any binary on your victim machine has a possibility of being compromised... so netstat data would be questionable.

    but nmap and netcat would be fine. from elsewhere. maybe nessus too, while you're at the old security console.

    just remember that if you're installing this fiber, it takes 4hrs a foot, and there's annoying clank-a-jank music playing the whole time.

  19. three things on Knock Safely With portknocking_v1.0 · · Score: 3, Interesting
    1. you have a single point of vulnerability in your daemon
    2. for the moderately paranoid, you can just shove all your stuff up into the ephemeral port range - most portscanners don't scan past 6000 unless you tell them to
    3. anyone that didn't think this thread would be mainly about 'kock' hasn't had their coffee. such as myself
    4. there is no item the fourth
  20. what about the system roms? on Commodore Follows Up TV Game With ROM Selling · · Score: 0

    when do we get those?

    VICE on Debian still doesn't ship with them. are they really sooper sekrit? c'mon. "anatomy of the C64" by abacus had the WHOLE FRICKEN ASM dump.

    and why was THAT legal?

    and, on another note - has anyone seen a project to do SMP between the C64 6502 and the 1541 (the 5" drives) 6502?

  21. Re:IPSec on Encrypting a Multicast Video Stream? · · Score: 1

    not if it's multicast.

    IPSec is for unicast, as it (supposedly) helps prevent MITM attacks.

  22. Re:Except for Hitachi on Seagate Rolls Out 400 GB SATA Drives · · Score: 1

    there's a transcript of a talk given by Dr. Stephen Tweedie where he says


    If you start a write operation to a disk, then even if the power fails in the middle of that sector write, the disk has enough power available, and it can actually steal power from the rotational energy of the spindle; it has enough power to complete the write of the sector that's being written right now. In all cases, the disks make that guarantee.


    that impressed me no end.

  24. i still owe hugo a sandwich on iPod May Not Have The Horsepower For Ogg [updated] · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    this is an interview w/ hugo fiennes, who graciously helped me reflash some firmware on a rio that i inadvertantly fried under linux.

    i'll vouch. a stand-up guy. and i still owe him a sandwich for the info: on the nike rio you can get back to the virgin firmware by holding down the up and down volume buttons at the same time as you power it up.

    thanks hugo! you rock!

  25. Re:Using unshielded speakers on Touchscreen BoomboxPC · · Score: 1

    i'd be more worried about impack/shock. good place for a CF mounted RO.

    seriously, it'll take a rather large field to mess with the drives.

    speaking of which though - do LCDs get bent by magnets? i haven't had a chance to 'play' with one yet...
