If you pay for the service, you should be able to do anything you want with the bandwidth that you are supposed to get. I don't think there is any harm in sharing your connection with your neighbors if you want to.
I know some cable ISP's *cough*comacast*cough* restrict the access to a single MAC address coming from one IP. If they wanted to sacrifice the resources, they could theoretically detect NAT on thier network.
I agree that one can get useful information from google. But I think the purpose of this project was more to observe the real world environment in which people will try to attack WiFi systems. Also most people who would be war-driving arent simple script kiddies, and can come up with some nifty ideas. I know I would want to look at some of the logs from those networks.....
Routers work on the network layer, e-mail is an application layer service. This post has nothing to do with "default settings" on a router. Please do not post things you know nothing about, next time post as a user so I can learn you something, huh?
I am surprised that Snort did so poorly, since it really is a nice system, but it takes a long time to build up a good set of heuristics...
I completely agree with this statement, but can't understand why all the "false alarm" complaints. When you build an IDS, you need to start with all the alarms turned on then identify which non-intrusion signatures cause false alarms, then TAKE THEM OUT. This is the first rule of IDS's. Any site which explains how to install snort will tell you that you need to customize the config for your situation. Another thing that gives snort the edge(besides speed and cost) is that its open source, so the real TCP/IP hackers out there will always be tinkering to make it better and more efficient at catching true intrusions.
The problem with Linux is that it's an open source system, so if you are having issues or difficulties with its stability, it's like pushing on a rope; there's no single vendor to deal with.
Like they wouldn't have stability problems with any other system, dealing "single vendor" does not equal stability.
this has probably already been said, but i'll say it anyway:)
for my file sharing needs i have one machine between my router and internal firewall that i can ssh(openssh.org) to and use the rsync or scp utils to get data off of there. My internal mp3 machine is WinXP so i use smbmount(samba.org) from the DMZ to mount the shared DIR if i need to get to an Mp3 from the outside, same goes for any other win/linux machines on my internal network, all internal *nix machines run samba
i've never had a problem or thought that this was inefficient, so it works for me.
IMHO the barriers to entry for development in space would be best explored on the moon. If we ever want to get off this sorry planet(which we feel content on ruining), we need to know how to terraform a hostile environment, i.e. no atmosphere, cold, hot, etc. The moon, far away as it is, is the perfect test for colonizing space.
i'm not an ai programmer, but i don't think it's a matter of just slapping some software together to be able to have the functionality that the article describes... no need to be so negative:)
i will show them in the order that the storyline is told.... i think if lucas does his vision of the story right, then it will be fine to spoil the vader/luke surprise in esb..
I just recently shipped some equipment internationally, and there are MANY forms that need to be filled out regarding the origin of the product and what it is used for. Customs probably flags words or product names for inspection under certain laws.
I was always into computers as a child, so when I went to college I thought I would broaden my horizons and go to business school. Boy was that a mistake. Everyone in the business school seemed superficial and fake, and there were lots of cheaters, so I switched to CS and loved every minute of it. Sure there are conceded cheaters in every major, but a lot less in CS then in business. My advice: go with what your heart tells you.
I dont think this is the right time to start changing the fundamentals of instruments and equipment whose sounds have been perfected over the years using an analog signal. I know I wouldnt want to be at a gig and have the driver that runs the ethernet card in my mixer go flooey, theres enough equipment problems now as it is without having to have a rodie sysadmin. They should have been working on this technology 5-10 years ago, so it would be ready for the studio and road now. The way it is, big name studios have already converted their analog recording and mixing equipment to directly feed in to a digital signal, for mixing, editing, processing, ect... what will they want with ethernet enabled instruments, when they will have to migrate to mixing/processing equipment that comply with the new standards....
This article goes back and forth between hardware and software issues, poorly written code and poorly manufactured products. It was obviously a novice user grabbing quotes wherever she could to help vent her 'tech frustrations'. Hey, figure it out yourself if you want to 'diagnose'.

All geeks should know about hyperspace! :) To learn more read some Michio Kaku... He really explains hyperspace to non-astrophysicists well.
Here are some of his works.

since they can't detect NAT on their nodes anyhow

Well, most competent sysadmins probably have electronic greeting cards blocked at the router, but I suppose it's the thought that counts...
:)
Most competent sysadmins would know that routers are at the network layer and cannot, by default, block e-mails. Maybe you meant e-mail proxy?
If you do want a GUI to run on top of snort. ACID is the best that I have seen, it needs apache, php, and mysql I believe.

2. Offline because of configuration error.
Gee, I wonder if they should learn how to configure Snort before they test it.

would this mean that the open source community would have dibs on .org domains that become available??
spelled cessna wrong... now i guess you know i dont have one :)
Oooh... now i can spy on my girlfriend from 3000 feet up.

cool, now i'm one step closer to having a teddy (AI) :)
well... anakin turns into vader, if youre worried about semantics ....
i will show them in the order that the storyline is told.... i think if lucas does his vision of the story right, then it will be fine to spoil the vader/luke surprise in esb..
I wish I could have not watched the last three Star Wars movies so I wouldn't know Anakin is Vader :)
