  1. Re:Matrix had one thing right... on What Movies Got Computers Right? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Trinity uses a genuine hack to get into the Matrix. She uses Nmap version 2.54BETA25 (an actual port scanning tool) to find a vulnerable SSH server, and then proceeds to exploit it using the SSH1 CRC32 exploit from 2001.

  3. Re:linear vs. non-linear on Debunking a Bogus Encryption Statement? · · Score: 1

    this is why i like slashdot.. you coworker is correct !

    you are assuming that, once you crack the first 64bit key, you know you have cracked it.. whereas in reality, there might be no indication whatsoever because your plain text is encrypted with the second key.

    in practical brute forcing, 2^128 = 2^64(2^64)

    to visualize this, 2^128 is 128 bits, that you have to brute force thru

    now 2^64(2^64) [assume k1(k2)] is 64bits and then another 64bits. you will only know the result after having both k1 & k2 correctly. which means you will need to cycle thru all possible k1 & k2 simultaneously. k1 != k2 in most cases, which when needs to be cracked together is 128bit search space!

    even in the case where k1 = k2, you still don't know if the brute force is successful till you have tried all possible combinations for k1 = k2 and applied them simultaneously. that is 2^64.

    from wikipedia: "In general TDES with three different keys (3TDES) has a key length of 168 bits" (each DES key is 56bits)

  10. spyware tips on Anti-Spyware Products Don't Live Up to Promises · · Score: 3, Informative

    besides the usual .. use firefox..

    the other night my laptop got a spyware infestation and this was the most serious one i had come across..
    adaware and spybot couldn't detect anything.. yet i kept getting IE popups.. I booted to safe mode but guess what.. an IE popup while adaware is running (network was not available) in safe mode!
    so i back to windows normal mode, pull up sysinternal's processEx to see which process starts the IE process.. and i was surprised to find that the IE popups were from winlogon.exe! later i found out that the sypware had also modified my winsock files..

    anyway.. to the tips.. sometimes you have two processes that monitor each other, so when you kill one, the other process respawns the proccess you just killed. unless you are lightining fast with taskmgr... you can kill both at the same with taskkill /pid [proccess1] /pid [proccess2] /f
    if you find a .dll and can't delete it because some proccess is using it.. or want to know which process is using it.. try "tasklist /m [dll_filename]"
    the "[" "]" don't mean optional parameters.. i couldn't use the less/greater signs

    the sypware that i got installed was hosted at rackspace.. so i called up rackspace (@3am CST).. bitched about it and they contacted their spyware client.. you would expect then to stop hosting the spyware.. instead rackspace sent me a link for a utility to download (utility provided by the spyware client).. which removed whatever i had but installed more spyware!!
    In the end, i renamed iexplore.exe and put a copy of cmd.exe as iexplore.exe ... so every now and then i get cmd.exe windows.. until adaware releases a fix for what i have :)

    The music industry has only sued people who "upload" onto the Internet -- i.e., people who share content with others. No downloader has been sued, because the RIAA says it's easier to find uploaders.

    that gives me an idea..
