  1. Re:Knoppix used to save WIn98 on True Stories of Knoppix Rescues · · Score: 1
    So I did, and mounted her hard drive and tar'ed up all of her files and copied them to the Linux share. She's gotten a new laptop since then, one which runs WinXP.

    I used Knoppix for backing up the Windows 98 disk of my parents, but I'm not sure if the same routine will work with XP (think Alternate Data Streams etc.). Does anyone know? I'm not particularly fond of imaging programs...

  2. Re:Behind the Scenes at the CES Keynote on Microsoft's Technical Glitches at CES Explained · · Score: 4, Funny
    It could have been all the IR interference in the venue

    Next time, Microsoft had better attendees frisked for rogue remote controls! Damn GNU hippies! :-)

  3. Re:Linksys on Low Cost VPN Solutions? · · Score: 1

    The native IPsec in the Linksys is based on Linux as well, but it is outdated and buggy and possibly insecure.

  4. Re:Linksys on Low Cost VPN Solutions? · · Score: 1

    AFAIK the Broadcom wireless chipset used in that Linksys is closed source so you are basically stuck with kernel 2.4.

  5. Re:Great, but... on Venezuela Moves Further Toward Open Source · · Score: 2, Informative

    How about the Leopard seal?

  6. Windows Firewall defaults to off on Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003 · · Score: 1

    In the docs they write that a server should be able to accept unsollicited connections so the new Windows Firewall defaults to off, unlike the one in XP SP2.

    Hm. I'm not sure about that.

  7. Knoppicillin on Windows Incident Forensics with Knoppix Helix · · Score: 1

    Knoppicillin is what you are looking for. It has been released by the German magazin C't. Unfortunately it is not available for download because it uses 2 commercial virusscanners and a licenced NTFS driver for Linux.

  8. Similar thing happened before on PalmOne Commits to Treo Fix · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Some Palm and Handspring models shipped with faulty DRAM. Instead of replacing the unit, Handspring released a patch which slashed the battery time in half. Still bitter about it...

  9. Re:By its nature... on WPA Weak Key Cracker Posted · · Score: 1

    There are alternatives.

  10. From the Author: on Assessing Network Security · · Score: 3, Funny
    "Written by three Microsoft security researchers, the book provides a great overview as well as an in-depth coverage of assessing security via penetration testing."

    From the referenced BN page:

    "I have been fascinated by leadership dynamics throughout my working career. [...] A concern is that we often get to hear the same leadership issues over and over again, yet leaders continue to lead with mediocrity and passiveness".

    His Billness will not take this lightly! These guys can kiss their jobs at Microsoft Research goodbye! :-)

  11. Polling on The Votemaster Is...Andrew Tanenbaum · · Score: 4, Funny
    AST: I understand polling well.

    Ha, but how about interrupts!? :-)

  12. Thawte root in IE on Ask Ubuntu Founder (And Astronaut) Mark Shuttleworth · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How did you convince Microsoft to accept the Thawte root certificate into Internet Explorer (or Netscape for that matter)? Would you say that this was a crucial moment in your career?

  13. Re:History of the World Part 2 on Mel Brooks Says 'Spaceballs' Sequel In The Works · · Score: 4, Funny

    Obligatory Simpsons quote:

    "You mean Mel Brooks is Jewish??!"

  14. Re:Should have known on Bikes Against Bush Creator Busted · · Score: 1
    Microsoft also got in trouble I think in New York for the MSN butterfly

    And rightly so! :-)

  15. EAP-TLS on Wi-Foo: The Secrets of Wireless Hacking · · Score: 1

    You write in your thesis that EAP-TTLS and PEAP are more secure than EAP-TLS. Could you elaborate on this?

  16. Dupe on Ready, Aim, HACK! · · Score: 4, Informative

    You're right, here are the pictures.

  17. Greenpeace did this here in the Netherlands on Guerrilla Drive-Ins · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Greenpeace projected the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" on the wall of a power plant running on coal here in Amsterdam.

    The Dutch equivalent of the MPAA didn't like it, but I don't think the makers of the film would have objected much. Looks like great publicity for the movie.

  18. Re:On a side note... on Security Statistics and Operating System Conventional Wisdom · · Score: 1

    Pecunia (Secunia?) non olet...

  19. Re:So...? on SUSE 9.1 Personal ISO Available For Free Download · · Score: 1

    Or that you were asleep while your computer was downloading the ISO overnight?

  20. Re:"Am looking for Einstein brain" on Diary Illuminates Einstein's Last Years · · Score: 1

    Wow, that was even weirder than I remembered...

    Thanks for those links.

  21. "Am looking for Einstein brain" on Diary Illuminates Einstein's Last Years · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I once saw a documentary about a Japanese professor who was obsessed to find out what had happened to the obducted brain of Einstein. Travelled all over the world, spoke in broken English but he did succeed in finding at least some parts of the brains.

    Peculiar guys, those Japanese...

  22. Re:Terminal Services on A Network Attached Windows Box? · · Score: 1
    Remote Desktop is much better than VNC, especially when used over the internet because VNC is not encrypted at all. Remote Desktop includes built in 128 bit encryption.

    Except RDP was never meant to be used over the Internet. It is vulnerable to a Man-in-the-Middle attack.

  23. Re:user friendly? on FreeS/WAN Continues As Openswan · · Score: 1

    I disagree. The support mailinglist has been great. For instance, FreeS/WAN team member Sam Sgro provided commercial quality support. One issue is that they deliberately did not filter for viruses and spam. But other filtered mailinglists sprung up so that was not really an issue.

  24. Re:Wait for PDAs with VGA screens on A Handheld for a Primary Computer? · · Score: 1
    (480x640, user switchable**) color display for easy readability both indoors and outdoors.

    Sounds like VGA resolution to me.

    **Only the ClearVue application supports this mode."

    So, its only high-res for a certain application.

    There are utilities (read: hacks) that enable the high resolution for most applications. WM2004 should fix this.

  25. Wait for PDAs with VGA screens on A Handheld for a Primary Computer? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    PDAs with VGA screens are expected in the next few months. These should make tasks such as browsing websites much easier. The Zaurus SL-6000 will a VGA screen. The Toshiba e800 already has one.
