  3. e107 on Open Source Content Management Discussion? · · Score: 1

    e107 is a slick package. Simple to install and fast running. Utilizing a caching system (if you wish it) it loads pages fast. It usess the usual PHP, Apache, and MySql. It has tons of themes and plugins and is totally modular with menus, setup, etc. Themes are easy to edit and create and the admin area is amazing, allowing you to do anything you can think of.

    I've been using it since before it got big and have gone through many updates, which are easily executed with php update installation scripts.

    It also has a large community behind it that is constantantly fixing and creating. Be sure to check this one out.

    See it in action at igogg.

    That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane -
    Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn -
    world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs. Feed it up a knock,
    speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height,

    own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the

    Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign tower. Slash and burn,

    light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush. Uh oh,
    this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear! A tournament,

    and I decline.

    I used to do something similar with elementary students. The district had bunches of old toasted computers and I would let the students take apart everything they could (aside from the PSU which I removed ahead of time) and answer any questions they had about the components they found inside.

    The kids really enjoyed it and it gave them a basic understanding of the innerworkings of computers.

  11. What I'm doing on Valve Gets Tough On Counter-Strike Cheaters · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I used to play CS but have stopped due to cheaters. I got a little fed up and created a fake aimbot/wallhack. Lamers download the hack, which is simply a batch file compiled to an .exe, run it, and get sent to an unlisted page on my website where their IP is logged and they're added to a counter. They are asked to share their thoughts in the forum.

    So far I have logged over 900 (counter messess up every once in a while) to my counter, but my stats page shows 17324 hits, and the list of IP's I have logged is 31 pages long.

  14. Backup Server on Server Redundancy for a Small Business? · · Score: 1

    I'm a sysadmin for a tier 2 autmotive company in Michigan with about 35 client machines.

    The two main servers are xeons with raid 5, redundant PSU's etc etc. One server runs the domain and as a file server while the other runs the manufacturing software suite (heavy database workload). All the data is very important but I rarely have a problem with lost data , unless some smuck over-writes a file or something stupid like that.

    The backup solution I implemented was a Debian box that runs rsync every night backing important data to the hard drive of the backup server. This machine doesn't need to be anything special. Now if someone looses something I have ready access to it. On Fridays I do tape backups of the data on the backup server and then run rysnc with the delete option so only the data currently on the servers resides on the backup server. This solution is quite simple and straight-forward utilizing cron and bash scripts.

    So far it has been working quite well...

  15. Bugtraq submission on Linksys WiFi Gateway Remote Attack Risk Discovered · · Score: 5, Informative


    Manufacturer: LinkSys (a division of Cisco)
    Product: Wireless-G Broadband Router
    Model: WRT54G
    Product Page:
    http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp ?grid=3 3&scid=35&prid=601
    Firmware tested: v2.02.7

    In a recent client installation I discovered that even if the remote
    administration function is turned off, the WRT54G provides the
    administration web page to ports 80 and 443 on the WAN. The implications
    are obvious: out of the box the unit gives full access to its administration
    from the WAN using the default or, if the user even bothered to change it,
    an easily guessed password.

    I reported this to LinkSys (along with a number of other non-security
    related issues) on April 28. I received no reponse addressing this, and no
    updated firmware has yet appeared on their firmware page
    http://www.linksys.com/download/firmware.asp ?fwid= 201

    To work around this, you can use the port forwarding (irritatingly renamed
    to Games and whatever) to send ports 80 and 443 to non-existant hosts. Note
    that forwarding the ports to any hosts -- inluding listening ones if you are
    actually running servers -- will override the default behavior.

    On a personal note, there are a number of reasons for which I am thoroughly
    disappointed with LinkSys since the acquisition by Cisco. For the sake of
    what was once a rock-solid product and great brand name, I hope things
    change soon.
