    Bogomips are not a mesure of performance by any stretch of the imagination. bogus+mips = bogomips.

  6. Re:wine on osx on Fun With Wine · · Score: 4, Informative

    yes and no, wine provides low-level binary compatibility, not hardware emulation, so its only for OSes running on x86 chips.

    winelib, however, is aiming for cross-platform compatability, so its possible you can compile windows software and link it with winelib for use on osx.

  9. Re:Glad I use Gentoo on Trojan Found in libpcap and tcpdump · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think the worst thing is that the server the trojan connects to is still operating :

    $ nc -vvv 212.146.0.34 1963
    mars.raketti.net [212.146.0.34] 1963 (?) open
    M sent 0, rcvd 1


    The program connects to 212.146.0.34 (mars.raketti.net) on port 1963 and reads one of three one byte status codes:

    A - program exits
    D - forks and spawns a shell and does the needed file descriptor manipulation to redirect it to the existing connection to 212.146.0.34.
    M - closes connection, sleeps 3600 seconds, and then reconnects


    maybe someone should contact the machine administrator before more people get owned.

    one of the major culprits for this was actually Microsoft, they had a scam going where they optimized the SETI software for Windows and then published the results to show how well their platform performed.

    Theres more information in the setifaq, section 1.3.6

    and on this usenet thread.

    and supported using a keyboard to navigate instead of a mouse.

    ummm, if you need to navigate without using a mouse for whatever reason, most window managers offer keyboard shortcuts.

    but if you really need to use X , with _ANY_ window manager, without a mouse attached, try hitting ctrl-shift-num-lock , you can then use the numeric keypad as if it were a mouse.

    try it out, its a useful tip to remember.

    Thomas C Greene makes a living out of reading bugtraq and regurgitating it on the register, his articles consist of little else except the odd convention commentary.

    my favourite comment:


    Konqueror turned out quite vulnerable, as I mentioned above. Mozilla was not vulnerable, but I'm not sure if that's because it handled the situation properly, or is, ironically, somehow too buggy to be exploited.


    this seems to be a pretty black & white flaw, the browser is either vulnerable or not vulnerable, how can it be "quite vulnerable" ?

    and why on earth is he flaming mozilla for handling the situation correctly ?, another typical TCG comment - plenty of opinion, not much fact.
