The human brain is a wonderful thing. It starts working the moment you are born, and never stops until you stand up to speak in public. -- Sir George Jessel

We did it! It's gotta be a first! We don't need no car to car WLAN's - we go WarDriving at 250km/h in an aircraft... 8-)
Cap'n Richard, Will (Yagi), Peterh & me took "IGI" - a Grumman Tiger 4 seat aircraft up to 1500ft and flew around Perth picking up AP's with Netstumbler running on an Handheld Ipaq/Cantenna and Kismet on a Toshiba Tecra 9000 with built-in Antenna.
We stopped at Rotto first for a quick run to the Bakery, but then it was on. We got 92 AP's with Kismet... and 95 with NetStumbler.
You can check out the photos by clicking the link below. There is also an image generated by Cap'n Richard to demonstrate the track we took around Perth available on the Rogues site.
You can check out the Kismet & NetStumbler logs for yourself:
Note: The Kismet dump file is not included for security reasons. After reviewing it, I found IRC conversations, emails and clear netbios traffic for known local Perth users. I will follow up with them to "improve" their security.
Speaking of security... I wonder how ethical it would be to code up a script that maps to printers available on open/insecure WLAN netbios networks and print out "Your Wireless Network is insecure, Please fix it!"?
I know what the law says so I'd never do it... but it would give the sysadmins pause wouldn't it... 8-)
It was from the other girl, Caroline. We were both nine; she had brown hair that went down to her neck, good grades in class, brown eyes and a gorgeous smile. We started "going out together" (read: spending time together holding hands and being too embarassed to say anything) after I sent her a love letter I had written on thick, orange paper. I think I still have the reply she sent me somewhere.
Anyway, we started spending time together, and one day we went up to her bedroom. We were both standing in a corner; she convinced me that I should go first. We closed our eyes and I gave her a peck on the cheek, then a rash kiss on her mouth. I didn't know what to say for a couple of minutes, and neither did she.
Well, that's it. I haven't seen her for a couple of years but I still remember how we both felt. What about you?
P.S.: This will probably get moderated down, but thinking about it made me feel great. Thanks!:-D
SOME GIRL: I know somebody who's got a crush on you ME: Oh yeah? Who? SOME GIRL: Will you pay me if I let you have a guess? ME: I don't care, I'm rich, there you go. Is it SHE? SOME GIRL: No. Nice try, though.
[later...]
SOME GIRL: Hey OTHER GIRL, I know somebody who likes you SHE: Oh yeah? Who? SOME GIRL: Will you pay me if I let you have a guess? SHE: There you go. Is it stere0? (note: I didn't have facial hair in primary school) SOME GIRL: No.
I overheard them, and this is how SOME GIRL got rich by doing this to the whole school and how I got my first kiss a couple of weeks later.:-D
I used to keep my macs working for 3-4 months before having to reinstall the whole shebang. I only reinstalled Mac OS X once since october. Macs are quite easy to keep clean, after some time you know where "cruft" accumulates. If anyone's interested, Alladin sells a product called Spring Cleaning, which I don't use. I clean my mac by hand. Seriously, on Mac OS X the only messy places are ~/Library and/Library. If you put your personal mess in your home folder, that is.
My Gnu/Linux distro of choice is Debian. If you use debian, you know how quickly apt installs those libraries. Have a look at deborphan, which "finds 'orphaned' packages on your system. It determines which packages have no other packages depending on their installation, and shows you a list of these packages. It is most useful when finding libraries, but it can be used on packages in all sections". I run apt-get remove `deborphan` about once a month.
Another great tool for the Gnu/Linux user is cruft, which, as the name says, tries to find the cruft on your system. It generates many false positives (e.g./vmlinux), so use with many grep and caution:-).
Which tools do you guys use to keep your system clean?
Encoding CDs to mp3? My computer will start encoding any audio CD I feed it.
Radio? Most radios I listen to are online. There are many programs I can use to record them. If a local radio broadcasts something I want to keep, I can buy a cheap cable and record it too.
Sharing? My computer automatically stores them on my server, which I mount with nfs and let some friends access via FTP.
I really can't see how Sony is going to make people pay $1000 for something unefficient they can get for half the price.
The author doesn't mention ACID, a very good and useful interface to Snort (or at least I haven't seen it). Since he also complains about the lack of GUI (Puh-leese, an IDS is not for interns!), I suppose he hasn't heard of it. Quoting the website:
The Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases (ACID) is a PHP-based analysis engine to search and process a database of security events generated by various IDSes, firewalls, and network monitoring tools. The features currently include:
Query-builder and search interface for finding alerts matching on alert meta information (e.g. signature, detection time) as well as the underlying network evidence (e.g. source/destination address, ports, payload, or flags).
Packet viewer (decoder) will graphically display the layer-3 and layer-4 packet information of logged alerts
Alert management by providing constructs to logically group alerts to create incidents (alert groups), deleting the handled alerts or false positives, exporting to email for collaboration, or archiving of alerts to transfer them between alert databases.
Chart and statistics generation based on time, sensor, signature, protocol, IP address, TCP/UDP ports, or classification
ACID has the ability to analyze a wide variety of events which are post-processed into its database. Tools exist for the following formats:

These bacteria might be a genetically-enhanced version of the thermophiles which are known to survive in extreme temperatures
Does this only sound silly to me? They can't be genetically enhanced. If they exist, they're just the way our lord Venus Christ created them!
So, what would AAAAAAAAA-size mean? Where does this nomenclature come from and is there any logic in it?
I always forget which are which and end up calling them pen-size, index-size, thumb-size etc.

Build up a geek website with a couple of friends, make it popular and propose on the front page a couple of years later.

What I said in my comment isn't complete for Prism cards without Uzmo's parent comment. Thanks in advance.
The white space is there 'cause the server's slashdotted, Sir. Escher's painting should go in it.

What about a small sticker with Maya the Bee on it? :)
# ifconfig eth1 hw ether [mac] , where eth1 is your interface and [mac] your MAC, should work
Her middle name is eight? She's 31337 too!

I already knew about it, I even mentioned it in a reply a couple of minutes ago. Thanks!
That's because I was young and silly and my brother kept hiding the CD :)
