  1. SQLite on F/OSS Flat-File Database? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Get it http://www.sqlite.org/ here.
    There are GUI clients that work fine for this sort of thing, SQL is simple for doing basic things. One file, one database.

    Like I suggested, ban IPs only on a "personal" basis. If you can read logs and see that a certain IP is causing trouble and isn't used by any other visitors then ban it for a while.

    Ban the IP, unless there are a bunch of legit users that use that IP.

    These are used by botnets, usually the user has no idea this is running on their PC. Also, there is such a vast number of PCs, many of which could be behind a corp firewall or gateway. Blocking by IP has never worked in the long term.

  18. Awesome article on Windows Live Hotmail CAPTCHA Cracked, Exploited · · Score: 5, Interesting

    One of the best 'exploit' related articles I've seen on /. for awhile. There is actual evidence, and actual screenshots of the exploit in action! No journalists here referring to "magic interweb programs". I wish there was more of this kind of stuff in the news, frankly I'm tired of articles full of statistics but nothing on the tech.

  22. Re:Bridge Mode on AT&T, 2Wire Ignoring Active Security Exploit [Updated] · · Score: 1

    I run an obsd router and have the 2wire as the wireless bridge for my network...its in such a state of disrepair that I can't access the http admin on the router at all, it doesn't respond to any IP address, yet somehow it still happily bridges my wired net to my wireless...even dhcp pass through works to the obsd router from wireless clients. The scary part is that it is impossible to access (if you forget your password on these (no hardware reset (unless you open it up and do it manually), you actually have to *phone* the company (number doesn't work) and get it reset.). Nothing on these routers works properly (they sent me one when I got adsl, its a combo modem/router. It has an ethernet WAN port, but there was an empty rj45 plug jammed in it (it doesn't actually work). I just use an older adsl modem with the obsd router and have this thing in the corner as a wireless bridge. What a hunk of junk.

    A few years ago, you saw you were infected by all the popups that apperared out of nowhere. But now, there is no way to tell for sure, is there? Every time my windows install does something strange, I'm worried that I might be infected. There, fixed that.

    ps aux | grep wine
    Oh good, nothing running. wineserver runs when you start a program and ends when the last process is closed. Nothing will simply start on its own (unless the process running under wine is aware that is being run under wine and can somehow write to rc.local...even then, you need root privs for that).
