Ethereal Packet Sniffing

· Score: 3, Funny
Here we go with the n00b questions.. ie. Can it sniff spam packets? Answer: No, spam packets are so mysterious and powerful, no available NIC is capable of passing them to a sniffer program.
Please people, leaving SNIFFING to the professionals!
Bah I overclocked my 8Mhz XT into 290 Mhz just by using the graphite on a pencil and drawing a couple lines down the CPU..
(I actually know a person that thinks they can overclock a cpu, using only a pencil.).

True although, Windows for example will never let a single application always run at 100% CPU, because if so, the OS wouldn't be running now would it?
Look at it this way, if you let it use 100% CPU usuage, but only give it a 1bps internet connection (use a router to alterate the uprate speed or something), do you still get paid by CPU? Isn't the problem with spam bandwidth not CPU? I'm so confused! Would a person running a 486 with a modem get paid as much for 100% cpu as someone running a zSeries IBM mainframe on bundled T3's??
I mean how many DOS virus are going around still? I know there were 50,000 back in the day, but now, I'm curious how many are "in the wild".
When's the last time a DOS 5 computer running a text based server was hacked? What if it only runs plain-text emails, whens the last time there was a DOS exploit/virus released?
Hmmm, does this mean obscurity = security? Scary, it just might!
I've told people for a while now, you want secure? TEXT ONLY. GUI's are the downfall of computers I tells u!
Is it possible this will create a new breed of mega elite hackers that don't need to know much about the inner workings of computers to hack, they can just run automated tools to do it for them? Maybe we can call them script-kiddies or something? What's that you say, they already have these? OH!
Of course these tools are good, the script kiddies already have k-rad tools from CodC and what-nots. News flash: many admins already use actually HACKER tools to try and find 'sploits on their pwn machines!
I remember when I was a youngin and to be classified at all as a hacker you had to have at least _some_ knowledge of machine code. Ahh, those were the days..
That's an excellent point. Since CEO's (et al) make up a good portion of overall pay at some companies (read Tyco for example), then how much could a company save (say by shareholder vote) if they outsourced only the upper echelons of management?
Actually when they say 100% secure they are talking about the fact that as soon as someone tries to intercept the message, it changes the photon arangement of the atoms, and they can instantly detect it. Making it 100% secure in the fact that at least if they do intercept it and are able to decrypt it, you will know real-time. So in this aspect it is secure, until the average joe can do what they do that is, and start re-arranging photon's themselves, so they could read it, then just re-create it and send it on it's way un-altered. Give it another decade or so and this will be childsplay to late latest script kiddies..
It's really easy to do a dump at a certain point in a program, get the PSW and do a couple back and forth instruction lookups and figure out a small piece of the code (you know at what point in the program (game) it asks you for the password), which is why this is possible. To take an entire router program (kernal, drivers, etc.) and disassemble the ENTIRE thing is damn near impossible. I am an assembler programmer and I do have some knowledge in this. I can tell you right now, I could give the source code to excellent assembler programmers and they wouldn't be able to figure out what every single piece of the code is doing. If it were that easy don't you think someone would have reverse enginnered the Windows kernal by now?
Wow wouldn't that be fun. So you want to be the first to try and unassemble an entire router, and go through it BYTE by BYTE, no comments (striped by compiler of course), no instructions, no write-up. Yeaa-haw! If you claim you can do this your lieing. And besides, it doesn't take much to have your program self-alter itself once it's memory resident.
It's a real Ford Commercial in Europe that wasn't supposed to be released, but it was stolen and put on the internet. It's on snopes.com. Maybe you should complain to Ford.
Now they have a/. effected simulator.. Kinda cool. It would be interesting to measure exactly what it takes to/. a server, a simulator to do that would be fun, we could see just how many/.ers we'd need to/. microsoft.com

Care to name the other? lmao.. And BTW, that is there motto, so it makes sense..
Reminds me of a story a customer told me. They had a crap load of old 486 machines that were old PoS machines, he needed to get rid of them so he threw them all in a dumpster behind his condo, a neighbour saw him and looked at the computers, which had a very clear label "Property of XXXX" (his company), well the guy called the cops, next thing the IT director knows, he's being arrested for theft of computers, HIS computers... So before you throw out your crap, make sure your neighbour isn't watching!!
She would have only had 9-10 hours in Paris (although that's plenty for me!) because if a lay-over is more then 12 hours it's no longer a connecting flight, it would have been considered 2 flights... I've done the same thing flying from Pearson to Heathrow to Shipol.

I think it's all the RIAA's fault myself. I mean with these overpriced songs, what's a pirate to do? He _must_ pirate in order to buy the latest pirate music.
I believe IBM bought them out so they could pull their quality of work down so low everyone will beg for US/Canadian call centers again. Basically they are taking a page from CA. In fact, they already bought a software company for Big Iron just recently that should have been CA's:

Nope, all you have to do is sit your fat ass on it, and since your fat ass defies all logic of quantum physics, it will soak up that crap.
