I was a member of one of the (losing) student teams.
First, none of the members of my team are majors in network security (just "IT"), linux gerus, and we did not recieve any advice from the previous team that went last year (what fags).
Second, two of the four boxes were Linux. Three monitors. The firewall box and the windows xp workstation box was KVM'd together. 8 people trying to work on 3 machines = not cool.
Third, oh god all of the systems were basically pre-fucked up. Rootkit/keyloggers on the 2003 server box, there was a wireless access point that was PLUGGED INTO our switch, broadcasting all internal traffic to the red team and allowing them DIRECT access to the internal network.
Fourth, it wasn't clear to my team that we had to have THREE external IP addresses mapped to THREE internal IP addresses, so our firewall/router solution didn't work at all. Business inject on the first day? ha? none of the e-mails could get to us because they were sending it to another ip! At the end of day 1, they also said that they would reimage the firewall box to Fedora Core 4 and give us control over it. So, everyone crammed as much about configuring fedora core 4 and learning iptables... we walk in day 2 and the guy says that he locked us out of our firewall box and that we aren't allowed to change it. (because 7/8 teams fucked up the firewall on the first day). Awesome, three direct ip mapping into our private network!
Fifth, there was a misunderstanding about what kinds of software we could use. We thought we were able to use ANY (non-pirated) software that was available on the Internet, including free trials. Turns out, we were only allowed to use commercial software ONLY if it was released as a beta version and had the appropriate enterprise use license. Hurray windows firewall? It's not like we could download zone-alarm.
Sixth, there was just too much stuff that was already on the machines that no one on my team had any experience with. osCommerce? hah.
Seventh, 70% of all the business injects are related to the website. When the red team broke into our Linux (fedora core 4) box, they completely fucked Apache and MySQL up (how to backup Linux? nothing to backup TO). So much for all those business injects.
Eighth, we only had one laptop to use to download stuff from the Internet or to research free software alternatives. Granted, our team probably needed more people that knew how to use Linux, but still...
Ninth, the network diagram was incorrect. How the hell do they expect us to configure a router if they provide the wrong DNS/default gateway information?
Yeah, we got owned hard... but there's also the saying... you learn from your mistakes... I believe I learned more in those 3 days then my entire 3 and 1/2 years in my university.
This might be perfect for page files if you have low amounts of ram and want to reduce the "Hard disk thrashing" that windows goes through when paging.
Customize bittorrent to receive/deliver your email, then loadup your modified bittorrent client and have both clients automatically fight out the bandwidth.
Slipstream both the hotfixes and the service pack 2 onto the cd.
It's possible. If not, get at least the sp2, it'll save you time when patching (sp2 takes awhile to install, especially on older machines)
I wonder what the effect tons of debris flying from the moon will have... Oh wait, I know! The rocks will be aiming for: Earth. So that means George Bu-, I mean, NASA will shoot down our climate monitoring satellites so we can all sell our souls to the devil without knowing better.
All we have to worry about is some of those WMD that terrorists have hidden on the moon...
Boy, is it just me or is it starting to get hot on this planet?
Slashdot Mirror
They'll probably have it dismissed on the grounds of upholding "national security" and such that its too confidential for them to hear about it.
And thats no geyser either...
Lets put it all together shall we?
Plutonium production ceases.
Construction of "lighting-diverting" system.
Construction of "escape" roller coaster.
Whats next? Steam powered rocket locomotives that fly in the sky?
I wonder if some of those "suppliers" of thumb drives would have happened to "accidentally" pick up a few sticks at US army bases...
Last I checked, those sticks were hot items in Iraq... I'd hate to think about whats on them.
First came the lighting tower - designed to "divert" lighting.
Now they're building an "emergency" rollercoster to "quickly" move people away.
Just add a flux capacitor and I think they're good to go.
They probably have an underground cave full of robotic GUNDAM Mobile Suits.
What happened to lasers? With those, you get killed at the speed of light.
Now we're only going for a bit faster then the speed of sound?
Someone's losing fucking ground here.
They're top-secret nuclear-powered "Gundam" or (Generation Unsubdued Nuclear Drive Assault Module) Mobile Suits!!

With a discharge like that, the only thing that can charge it up is a bolt of lighting!
Not allowed to disconnect any cables during the competition.

come available for dogs? If they made this operatable by dogs, they would solve the problem for "good". :P

All we need to do is spam fog grenades until they get 0 fps.
Not to mention we have the aim hacks, wall hacks, and the no clipping cheats.
I have about 6 of em too, got em real cheap from those iraq street shops :)
[the above is ment to be a joke. Don't take it seriously big brother]
Because, its included on the motherboard chipsets based on the socket design.

Remember what happened with the CIWS missile intercept system in 1991 and 1996?_ in_combat_.28at_sea.29/

Just gotta be careful of hitting friendly targets... After all, this is no ordinary laser pointer!
