  1. Re:Peapod on Step 2, Groceries · · Score: 2
    Webvan was destined to fail from the get-go. What the fuck is a Webvan? Due to the rhythmic and up-beat hip nature of the phonetic term "Freshdirect"--it just rolls right off the tounge--I expect it to be in business much longer than Webvan and Peapod.

    Just wanted to get this link in here: Pokey the Penguin. Thanks for reading this.

    I've done my research. The signature-verification-check routine in the main UPX unpacker can be altered to allow the check to pass if the signature-verification-check routine does in fact exist, but it does not. Thank you for your time.

  6. X alternatives never materalize on picoGUI: An X Alternative? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Before one embarks on such a nobel product, he or she must be prepared for X conquest. Otherwise, he or she will end up like the dozens of alternative-to-X windowing systems littered strung out across the Internet. Don't be a another casuality of X-crazy fanatics; X can be replaced, but only by time.

    This is even easier:
    make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
    make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC

    Of course, you have to be using a BSD kernel. Theres nothing wrong with using GNU userland tools and a BSD kernel...

    Even something as benign as VNC or Radmin can be turned to the "dark side."
    As well as a benign utility such as SubSeven or NetBus.

    Using grep or hexedit, you should be able to find the string "UPX" somewhere in the file if it was packed by UPX.
    This is unreliable. The "UPX" signature can be changed to anything; perhaps "DLL", and UPX will refuse to unpack it. Furthermore, it may be difficult to identify that the executable was packed with UPX, therefore hindering decompression once more. Security through obscurity does not work!
  13. Re:Make Win32 Trojans Open Source on Reverse Engineering Win32 Trojans on Linux · · Score: 1
    When we finally open source these trojans, our software will become more secure because programmers from around the world can work on making the trojans and the programs the effect faster, better, and more secure.
    ADM is way ahead of you man.
  14. I run a UNIX server and Windows laptop on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 2

    I suggest everyone do the same. As well as a Windows desktop. This way, you get Windows-software compatibility with the laptop, desktop-hardware-compatibility with server, and both hardware and software compatability with the Windows desktop. It all works out, and you can use less or more of each system to suit your specific needs.

  17. Re:Bah on FCC Clears Comcast Purchase Of AT&T Broadband · · Score: 2

    Since when has AT&T been in the business of sifting through academic works and general media to discover and reasonably document the current usage and connotations of important words? m-w.com is offered by, guess who, Merriam-Webster, which has been making dictionaries for several decades at least. Last I checked, AT&T's business plan was to provide common carriers to the teaming masses or individual corporations, not to offer content. This isn't AOL/Time-Warner we're talking about. The parent post is nothing more than unsupported FUD.

  18. Re:bad news for linux users on FCC Clears Comcast Purchase Of AT&T Broadband · · Score: 5, Informative

    Certain service areas of Comcast use PPPoE for authentication rather than the commonplace DHCP for authentication. You can get Linux PPPoE software from Roaring Penguin.

    Who is Comsec? I've heard more than I care to know about AT&T, but it seems odd a telcom giant to be purchased by an unknown entity such as Comsec. Do they have anything to do with Teltone?

  24. Detectable Leakage on Secure Wireless Through Infrared Antennas · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is SECURITY VIA OBSCURITY. Its worst than Microsoft's proposed ;HttpOnly cookie value. Not only does infrared have a miniscule amplitude comparable to that of dark mango light, it shares properties of microwaves in that it does not penetrate lead steel. This is in stark contrast to the ceramic flossings offered by MIT Inc.'s 802.11b/ALL wirefree standard. Wireless is well-known for eliminating some of the wires, hence the term "wires: less", and these microscopic wires can picked up by sophisticated nuclear wireless detection subsystems such as NetStumbler. Infrared is no exception to this rule. SECURITY VIA OBSCURITY DOES NOT WORK.

    Why do Emacs and XEmacs have to be listed differently and separately? Is there a reason for their duplicity, or does xemacs run on X11? Someone fill me in.
