This is not a "how to crack a website", this is a "how to create a phishing website". It is a dumb article to read. The only way it would work would be to either have root access to the server to modifiy the origional site or to create a clone of the site and get people to login to it, which if thats the case, there are far better ways to do it.
The PlusNet site explains why it has taken so long to (not) sort things out. The screw-up involved a Sun NAS device which runs on StorageTek's proprietary operating system which meant data recovery experts had to alter the tools they usually use.
Other than the weird operating system it said the biggest problem was caused by the unfortunate engineer's first attempt to fix the original mistake.
The engineer tried to recover the data by creating a volume of the same size, and in the same place, as the first volume - "an old sysadmin trick", PlusNet tells us. But the system uses the first volume to create a master inode - essentially a map of where all the other data is kept. Because this was deleted, finding the rest of the data in the second and third volumes is very difficult.
They did get some information back from these other volumes but without the master inode it is all but impossible to tell which emails belong to who.
Within three hours the Sun NAS was on its way to data recovery specialists.
A statement on the PlusNet website claims that half of the email was spam and that 48 per cent of it had already been read - leaving just one or two per cent of actual deleted unread email.
If my memory serves me correctly, the "offical" job of the NSA is to secure other branches of the federal government. Oh wait...must have been checking those illegal phone records and banking transactions.
(1) They will need a copy in the first place to create the original checksum/hash and if you are going to use that method, which means they will actually need somebody to sit down and determine what they think is child pornography (sounds like a dream job for a pedofile).
(2) They will still need to keep the original copy of the image or whatever for possible use in court. Due to the images being subjectively deemed child pornography, there are possible "classifications" that the media could fall into. If they were to take a person to court over this, they would need to be able to show exactly what the person has supposably download and not just a signature (hash) of a file that was determined illegal by a non-government (court) system.
I agree with the first part. And only the second part is true when they are writing web apps, because their technologically challenged customers tend to use IE.
Every robotic system I've ever worked with was controlled by software running on Windows (or DOS)
Not me, I was able to play with brickOS for the LEGO mindstorm robot and get some college credit. Which is linux based I believe (It has been a while).
Wouldn't it be easier to...i dunno...study? When the work required to cheat is harder then the test then I see a problem. Besides, it's natural selection. Let the dumb b******** kill themselves.
Distilled water, which is commonly used with an additive to stop algae or corrosion, is not conductive. So other then getting wet, the system should not short out.
Wouldn't having the os be a raid5 partition (assuing you are using raid5 for the other logical drives) be a better solution. The overall speed should be faster due to the striped effect over raid 1 and still be redundant? I guess I do not see how running 3 logical drives (os, swap, storage) in the controller would be faster then 1 logical drive in the controller and 3 file systems (partitions in the os level). Maybe it's just not clicking.
Do any of those RAID cards support deleting an unwanted logical drive without deleting all of the logical drives?
The partitioning should be done by whatever operating system that you are running. A true hardware raid will convince the OS that you have a single hard drive (depending on how you configure the controller, I guess). As far as upgrading to larger drives, I would imagine that with my 3ware card, I could add a single drive and rebuild the array (via the tw_cli application) after each added hard drive and not lose any data. I dont think that is the best method but I think it would work. Then after all 4 drives (in my case) are upgraded i would probably have to extend the file system (linux) to actually use the new space.
I will admit that I have not researched ATA over Eth. all that much but, my current system's storage cost was: $288 for the 3ware 9500S-4LP and (4) Maxtor 300GB sata2 drives at $105 (shipped oem). Which comes in under $710. So, if you figure I'm running raid 5, the actual cost is ($710/900) $0.79 per GB of redudant data, which I feel, will be hard to beat (price wise) by other storage methods.
You can get this to increase if you add more "blades" as the article calls them and use a global file system. But that would also require a gigabit switch. If you created your own storage device then obviously you will have to purchase 2 gigabit nics, which according to your estimate comes to $120 plus run an entirely seperate machine.
If you have ever ran raid 0, you would notice there is a decent speed increase. And with today's faster processors and larger ram sizes the hard drive io speed is the weakest link.

So M$ will make this part of their software with absolutely no bugs...just like all their other stuff?

So I wont be able to defend myself if I let the batteries in my gun run out? Sounds safe.

If that is all you want then a ski mask and maybe a can of spray paint would probably work just as good.
I believe that was the Hudson River...but what do I know.
That would only work if nobody was monitoring the video feed.

Apple can't rip off Newton because they created it.
Any Gentoo Linux user should be familiar with rsync.

Thanks anyway, I'd just stick with raid 5.
3ware was not in the article but I do know from experience that they support linux. I'm running a 9500S-4LP in my server right now under Gentoo.
