  1. Wha...? on How Often Do You Replace Your Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    REPLACE hard drives? I usually just keep them around until I get tired of the knocking noise, after which I use the magnets to build GSM signal jammers, because them damn cellular phones keep putting a weird clicking noise on my sound system. Then people are all whiny cause their phone doesn't work, and I just don't know why :) I even suggested to someone that they wrapped the arm the held the phone up in with tin foil and they actually did!

  2. GNAA campaign against PHP and ZEND bears fruit on GPL Successfully Defended in German Court · · Score: 1
    Impi - Diplomatic Corp, South Africa

    The ongoing war against PHP by the GNAA has finally produced results that are a step in the right direction. GNAA have been aggressively involved in a campaign to educate the public at large about the tremendous control that MOSSAD has over the development of PHP and the subsequent clandestine information gathering technology that has been implemented by Jewish developers.

    The co-founders of Zend, the PHP Company, Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans are known Israeli MOSSAD agents; they were recruited by MOSSAD during their formative years at the Israel Institute of Technology.

    On Friday, 28 July 2006, Jani Taskinen, aka _sniper_ resigned from the PHP development team.

    <_sniper_> FYI: I don't care at all what anybody thinks about me. I'm going to be openly anti-Israel from now on. This was the last straw for me. Fuck you Jews. <_sniper_> I will also quit this project. As long as it's backed by some Israel company, I don't want to have anything to do with it. <_sniper_> Good bye.

    This was a direct result of the ongoing war against Hezbollah which has been backed by the USA and primarily been driven by the information gathering technologies embedded in PHP by Zend.

    Several GNAA members who were also part of the PHP development team have also resigned in solidarity with Jani Taskinen.

    timecop, the glorious president of the GNAA has reacted in the wake of these events by extending an invitation of honorary lifetime GNAA membership to _sniper_, for having courage in his convictions.

    GNAA official website, located at http://www.gnaa.us/ is powered by Microsoft Internet Information Services and ASP.NET, running on INTEL hardware.

    I have yet to hear a coherent explanation of why writing to my own .INI file under \program files\appname is a security risk. Prevent me from writing to someone else's installation directory if you like, and certainly to the OS directory, but for Christ's sake, let me write to my own directory, already.

    Right, and users should be able to write to files in /usr/local/etc or /usr/share/ on their Unix machines? I don't think so. Either it's $HOME or GTFO.

  9. Re:So its a feature on Inverting Images for Uninvited Users · · Score: 1

    That's neither a bug in Wine or the game itself. Reason: it's the way Windows bitmaps are stored. Windows bitmaps are actually stored upside-down in the file. A note of this is trying to run Opera 6 or 7 in Windows NT 3.51. The Opera banner logo (where you normally see ads) when it starts up is upside down. Microsoft's stance on this is that it's not a bug, but a "undocumented feature". Right. If you're wondering how I know this, I once wrote a QBasic program that reads icon-sized bitmaps and displays them. The image had to be 32x32 and use only 16 colours. I didn't read any spec sheet on the BMP format, I just used a hex editor on a bunch of different bitmaps.

    And I quote:
    ... one can imagine Microsoft quietly purchasing Apple's OS line, or even just licensing it, rewriting the GUI to look like Windows. It would solve some of their security and stability problems, and chances are that they could pull it off without the average user noticing the change.
    You're right -- It'd be as stable as a souffle, crashing every 15 minutes, and as secure as telling everyone save your neighbor's dog your credit card number, social security number, and would be ridden of viruses, Trojan horses, exploits, vulnerabilities, and everything that plagues Windows.

  11. Obsolence is only good if your OS is old. on Is Obsolescence Good Computer Security? · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter if you have full 10GB OC-192 or a mere 9600 dial-up, if your OS has holes (Windows 95 and up, plus NT 3.5x and up looks like swiss cheese), THEY WILL BE EXPLOITED. Now, if your OS doesn't really have holes (you surf with DOS), they can't hack you. Same with Windows for Workgroups 3.1(1), of course this is a bit different.

    Let me explain what I am getting at:

    In DOS, you will typically be using a packet driver TSR on software interrupt 0x60. This is nothing more than a raw interface to your NIC. If you are sitting at your command prompt, you are virtually imprevious to any attack (except a buffer overflow in your packet driver, which gets even rarer with the routing abilities of your ISP and home router being unable to handle any such packets). The TCP/IP stack of your programs are in the programs themselves. Each time you call 'wget', it inits a new TCP/IP stack. When it closes, it takes the stack with it. This also goes for DHCP. My point here, DOS on a broadband connection is Fort Knox. You ain't gonna get in, no matter how hard you try.

    WfW is a bit different. First of all, you will want to block the standard NetBEUI/NetBIOS-over-TCP/IP ports. This can be as simple as as port forwarding them to the router's LAN IP (my router occupies 192.168.0.1, so I forward them there, which effectively ghosts that port). WfW 3.11 has very few known service applications, the only thing that I can think of that can be a hijack into your system is your web browser, FTP client, or maybe that Distributed.net client you have chugging away on your 486 (or that Athlon 64 +4200, depnding on where you got it installed :P). Beyond just client applications, there are no real vunerabilities (that I know of, please not that) that can bring down a WfW box, even on broadband (Save a good ol' fashion DDoS attack)

  12. Re:Otis Stern is just upset because on Open Source Worse than Flying · · Score: 1

    I had a choice, and I freely used it. I started out with GNOME on DragonLinux, a slackware fork for people that use Windows. Only real difference from main Slack is that it makes a file on a FAT partition for it's root filesystem, and that LILO doesn't work (due to the way the kernel boots). I kept GNOME with Slackware 10.0/10.1. Then I used KDE with Gentoo. It was nice until it got too bloated and slow. Then I finally settled in with Fluxbox, which is wicked fast.

  13. Similar to what I did on a 486... on Breathing Life Into Older Computers · · Score: 1

    I have a compaq Presario CDS 520 which runs Slackware 1.1.2. The kernel was recompiled, and I use umsdos to put linux and DOS all on the same partition, due to the impossibilty to partition resizing (no software will run on the machine that does that, and the hard drive cannot be removed because it's welded in, somehow)
    I have recently upgraded several programs on it, 'less' pager from 187 to 385, GNU make from 3.70 to 3.80 (9 years of diffrent and look how little the version number changed, it's like that for a LOT of GNU software, and no I am not insulting GNU, just stating the publically available facts). It runs kernel 0.99.15, and I actually ran a little ELF test demo on it. Yes, it run ELF binaries, of course not really. Only statically linked ones or specially hacked ones that work if a.out so's are used.
    The machine itself uses a 486SX2 CPU, which means I have to use kernel math emulation. Can't keep the current CPU and install a 487, no slot for a 487 (unless the 487 is on a ISA expansion card). The sound blaster works in Linux, however, the odd Mac-like volume buttons on the front of the unit don't. That should be easy, however, as they only use IRQ 15.
    The 486 also runs DOS and WFW3.11 (an upgrade from regular Windows 3.1, mainly for the networking, which doesn't work because the the ethernet card that was in there stopped working besides just identifying itself to ISAPNP). I also use LOADLIN to boot the kernel, because it's faster than the floppy disk option. Overall, the machine provides hours of entertainment and hackability (not cracking, hacking in the original "clever programing" sense). It's nice, and the builtin monitor/video support 1024x768 (but only at 16 colors). But to be honest, the machine itself looks like an old m68k mac (Performa 530 or so) where the speakers, mic, monitor, and volume buttons were all builtin to the unit. Additionally, it is more architexturally closer to a laptop from 1994 than a PC, due to it's APM/powersaving and volume buttons. However, it works, it has many years ahead, and might make a good shoutcast client (if i get an ethernet card and a mp3 player working). It's low speed wouldn't affect mp3 playback, because internet streams are of low quality to begin with, so no need to cut the quality for speed.
    Anyone that coul provide an a.out or static ELF mpg[123/321] binary would be given much thanks.

    (Note: If you google the unit's name verbatim under image search, you will find a whopping 2 images.)
