What Free Cable?
·
· Score: 5, Informative
it doesn't take a master hacker to figure that one out.
From page 5 of the Motorola/General Instruments SB3100D cable modem manual: "If you have a TV set attached to the cable outlet, you may need a 5-900 MHz splitter to use both the TV and the SB3100D."
First, some revisions of my original comment. 1. It was US centric, the info for UK and others is the E2 post and I know AUS is going through this right now. 2. I had dial-up for many many years and I know that just web and email are still slow on it, I was just making a point.
I do not feel however that I am asking for more than I am paying for. 50$ / month should entitle me to 1.5 mbps. The difference between residential broadband (cable dsl) and commerical broadband (t1) is the upstream. I get around 100-120 kbps up, which is barely better than dialup, considering how much faster the downstream is. When you pay more for a business account, all they are giving you is a different configuration on your line, giving you more upstream (and maybe more downstream depending). The cable lines are easily capable of 10 Mpbs as shown by uncappers. Different people need different ammounts of bandwidth, sure, but when I sign up for broadband, thats what I want. If someone else doesn't need as much speed, let them pay less, dont make me pay more. The problem is that people would be willing to settle for less speed for the same cost. This hurts everyone, as opposed to helping the people who use less bandwidth. There is a hard cap at 1.5 mbps, if I hit it fine, im getting the most out of my service, and I expect to be able to hit the cap when I need to.
The reason I pay for broadband is because I want lots of speed and bandwidth. Why should my price be increased because I am using what I signed up for in the first place?
From a definition of broadband from E2: "In the US the predominant telephonic carrier system is SONET, which is very similar to SDH but uses different frame sizes, hence the usual definition of broadband is determined by the size of a DS1 frame, which is 1.544 Mbits/s."
Broadband should give me 1.5 Mbps, and that is what it is capped at anyway, so I don't see how people are using too much bandwidth by getting what they should be. Infact, this might have some sort of legal precedent as false advertising, but thats a stretch. Anyway, paying more because you use your connection the way it was intended is rediculous.
Audiogalaxy does not contain spyware, nor does it require the use of spyware. The "official" audiogalaxy client however, does contain spyware, but only from version.609 and on. I use.608W for instance. It is 100% functional, and contains no spyware. Here is a download link. Furthermore, audiogalaxy is a pretty much open protocol. There are a number of 3rd party clients, for various operating system, which are spyware/adware free. Some are AGStream, OpenAG, and Sputnix. Quit complaining if you are too lazy to use google and/or download another client, so you can get free mp3s without the company making any money.
Recently I went about cracking the admin logon to my sisters laptop so i could use it when she wasnt home. I dumped the passes while she was logged in as admin then loaded them into LC3 (the latest l0phtcrack). Her password is quite possibly the best one I have ever seen an average person have. It is 8 characters long, contains numbers, lower and uppercase letters, and non alphanumerics. Sure, techie friends of mine have 22 character passwords, but for a person whos barely computer literate, her password is pretty good, and would meet almost any policy ive seen. Anyway, my point... Because of the qualities of her password, it was not succeptible to any dictionary or hybrid attacks, so next comes brute force. I have an athlon 850, hardly a speed demon by today's standards. I started the audit when i went to bed, and it was done when i returned home from school the next day, approx 16 hours total. If it takes less than a day to crack a real good password, are people ever gonna have secure passwords that they can remember without having to write them down? NOTE: In windows, the LM password hash is more vulnerable because it is case insensitive, so while this reduced the time, its the way it is on most windows boxes anyway

How bout stephen hawking when the smart mensa people take over the town and then there is a fight over the gazebo. I consider Professor Hawking to be a science geek:)
Forget the admins, there are lazy admins on wired systems who run IIS and the like, how bout the gaping flaws in the 802.11b design???? Even if they do use encryption, it just takes a little time and AirSnort or WepCrack
T9 text input (now owned by AOL) allows you to easily type messages in you phone. It only takes as many key presses as the word is long in most cases, so no more 3 presses per letter. They have a very informative demo on the site showing how it works. basically it guesses which of the three letters you want, based on what you have entered so far, and the best choice changes as you type more letters. If the word you want is the one it guesses, you just cycle to the next word that matches the key combo you entered.
I said 99 cents per song, not 15$ per album. most people don't want every song on an album because not every song is good. If you want the whole album there could be some sort of discount. 99 cents was just a guestimate, for various songs, not a whole album. 1 or 2 cents is pointless, the company would take the majority of that leaving the artist with practically 0.
My Audiogalaxy has 0 spyware, and I think it is very usefull. Audiogalaxy didnt always have it, and I use the last version before spyware was added (0.608w). I simply never upgraded, and everything functions perfectly well. As far as Fastrack, I use Grokster. It only has one piece, Cydoor, and i use the Cydoor Condom replacement dll from cexx.org. Plus there are a ton of spyware free hacks such as Kazaa Lite which provides convienence for even the novice user. Its really not as bad as you make it seem. Ad-aware and some community effort gets rid of spyware real easily.
napster changed everything, but when it died others stepped up to the plate. Sure the time in between sucked (aimster and early limewire, etc.) but now with the fastrack network and audiogalaxy, mp3s are pretty much as easy to get as before, sans the convienence of a centralized server. Secondly, napster is going to be using their new file format, and it has no chance of replacing mp3s. mp3s are popular and have a well saturated population on the net. Other formats have come out that are smaller in size at the same quality like wma(yeh i know its windows only) and ogg, but mp3s stay on top because of popularity and convience. Finally, since they have been bought by BMG, I assume there is going to be some sort monetary transaction involved. Are people willing to pay for music? Yes, I believe so, but only if it is really cheap (99 cents a song or so) and most of the money goes directly to the artists. I don't know what their plan is. So basically, what Im saying is napster has a chance to get back in the game, but it won't succeed, and I think most people will agree.
Well here is shorten for Mac OS X. As far as integrating into your own app, while there may not be an easy way, there is linux and unix shorten source code, feel free to hack away.
With all the other restrictions they (try to) impose, how could modifying IE without installing software possibly be permitted by the EULA? Why would Microsoft or Netscape want this if they are not getting a cut, when they are the advertising medium.
Here is the pretty much identical article published in Phrack for easy online reading. Its a good read and shows that while Inferno implements encyption and other security measures, it is not very secure. The author of the article has written a login utility and password cracker for Inferno however his site seems to be down, or temporarily empty i guess, at the moment. It doesnt really cover plan9, just a mention.
While your advice is quite sound and helpful, your statement that it is just a letter is not true. If you check his site http://www.zophar.net/store/index.phtml you will see that the Linkers he has been sending to customers are being held at Customs and not being delivered. This is costing him business and wasting his cutomers time. An actual resolution is needed for him to return to normal operation
First, identification info that is sent to the server:
When you watch a movie, the server is sent a string that includes your operating system, country, language, processor class, and maybe some other things. Your ZIP code is sent. A GUID is also sent. My GUID was all 0s but this might vary, perhaps if a different operating system or proccessor is used. Or maybe this will be implemented in the future.
How to capture the videos locally:
1. Get The Proxomitron 2. Get Streambox VCR (This program is no longer published, most likely for legal reasons. Search google for it, and make sure you get a version that has the Real Media capability, not all versions do.)
3. Get Project URL Snooper, CommView, or any other packet sniffing program.
4. Copy the following text into a text editor and save it as a.cfg file:

5. Start Proxomitron and load the config file you just created.
6. Use the packet capture software to find the URL of the movie and copy it to the clipboard. (It consists of letters and numbers, followed by 100 or 300 for the quality, and ends in.rm)
7. Start Streambox and goto Edit, then Paste Link.
8. Make sure the URL is correct, then click the Proxy tab.
9. Click Use HTTP Proxy. For host enter "localhost" and for port enter "8080"
10. Click OK and let the movie download. (Each 300k movie I have downloaded so far is between 250-300 megs.)
11. Enjoy
Notes: I have read that it is possible to capture the movies without using Proxomitron by hexing Streambox, but this method is less permanent and I know it works. Proxomitron has many other great uses and you should explore its features. Finally, my config file is from version 3(b) but hopefully it works with newer versions, or else you can always enter the above data manually. It may not be neccesary to use all the HTTP headers above to trick the server, but theres nothing wrong with being thorough.

Thats about as plain and simple as it gets.
First, some revisions of my original comment.
1. It was US centric, the info for UK and others is the E2 post and I know AUS is going through this right now.

Web and e-mail only? Pay less.

That would require buying a Celine Dion CD, and god knows when that will happen.

Whats even funnier is that the projector operator was getting paid to watch you and your girlfriend have sex from his own private skybox.
