  1. I personally have always hated facebook and the above just validates my hatred for all profile sites.

    Thats a great find dingle and I could see this as fun for messing with people I know IRL who use facebook.

    I get most of it bar the finding the 4 digit pin part, care to enlighten us n00bish type folk?

    In any case interesting reading and thanks for posting

  2. Firstly sorry in advanced if someone has posted a similar topic in here, I did however do a quick search and came up empty.

    Anyways seeing as sharing is caring and have found that most members of the hak5 community like to indulge in sarcasm and quick wit I thought I would introduce you folk to Ben Yahtzee Crenshaw. Yahtzee is a British-born, currently Australian-based writer and gamer who brings a unique and refreshing prospective to game reviewing. I have been following his work for about a year now and eagerly await his latest installments every Wednesday, but hey don't take my word for it check out his Saints Row review which is highly amusing http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/vie...12-Saints-Row-2

    Latest installments can be found at

    enjoy

  3. Yes indeed, freeforums was once a kick ass free forum hosting which has descended into the depths of shitty-ness.

    My old forum is still up and somewhat active, just not as many post's as their use to be, but that's more than likely due to my awesome-ness not swinging by dishing out verbal shellackings to n00bs. *sighs* OH the good ol days.

  4. Aww I missed out on the glory days of the Commodore 64, I remember having a game or so at a friends house when I was young. I also remember that weird Amistrad thing that ran on cassette tapes and the Amiga 500. My first comp was a shitty intel MMX with stuff all ram/hdd space and a craptastic 36.6k dial up modem *YEAH BABY*

    Well I could see how writing your own app's would be kind of cool but the amount of time required to be able to grasp a lot of it would seriously do my head in. Hell I have enough trouble coming to grips with VBS scripting (I get about as far as echo). =P I use to be right into Java and html when I was 14, I only got into it because I came across this haXor messing with the old beseen html driven chat pages changing font type/size and inserting on mouse over functions into the url part of his handle among other things. But its been so long since I have messed around with that shit that I cant remember any of it.

    Damn dude h3%5r3w you have got a fair amount of shit under your belt. I was thinking about doing multimedia early on but it seems every tom dick and harry can do it now days and as far as job's go you hit the nail right on the head. I have to agree on networking not being very common (especially when you get into the nitty gritty) and for the most part its interesting and enables you to do some pretty cool stuff at home.

  5. Yeah your right and on the upside this shit will take a year of my university Bachelor. Only thing is when I last had a quick look at course's I didn't notice anything that was purely networking related.

    I personally wanna avoid the physic's and math shit involved with comp science and have no real patients for the programing side of things with information systems.

  6. Actually I was using freeforums for my Anime friends a while back, personally I find those constant adverts fucking annoying and they did some weird shit with the Forum layout with one of the newer versions.

    Still for free you can't exactly complain about adds. We did find a web hosting in Aus that gave 500mb for $5 a month which I would be happy to pay for not having add's placed all over the BBS.

    lol Yeah tell me about it, my speeds blow. If I had (could afford) a fast ISP I would be running something like Apache and getting my VPN shit on.

  7. Hey peoples I was just after some input from you wise folk.

    I was tossing around an idea in class today to register for a domain name and web hosting so we could have our own private class forum on the interwebz.

    I haven't exactly done my research on it but I was curious as to roughly what size hosting would be sufficient for a forum with only a handful of members (I was thinking maybe 500mb). Personally I don't wanna spend much seeing as we are all chipping in a few bucks.

    Also any suggestions as to what type of forum board to upload would be greatly appreciated.

  8. shit man that is l33t hax. can you give me a walk through or post a tutorial on how this exploit works.

    I laughed pretty damn hard at that! So hard in fact I got that weird look from people thinking wtf is so funny ya twit.

    Vector WINZ, FLAWLESS VICTORY...... FATALITY.

  9. Yeah you are right about that, sub netting is something you have to do regularly.

    I personally don't use the sub net calculators at all, sure they are handy but in a test environment they are a no go. The only thing I will use is my scientific calculator due to lazzy-ness and not wanting to screw up an exam from a miss calculation on my part.

    If you can memories the sub netting table I posted in the link you can quickly write it up and have a lot of information right in front of you for when doing exams and its good to double check somethings against.

    hows this I got into class today and 2 of the guys recently dropped out after 8 months in, when I inquired as to why I was told they are sick of the shit teaching and the bullshit subjects we have to do (Project management, ethics etc). I can't exactly blame em I am starting to become overly feed up myself however I will stick the shit out. Fuck its really disappointing though, I could have learned more posting in forums and reading cisco and MCSE shit.

  10. Well I can't exactly talk on behalf of apple after all the last mac o.s I used was the classic one in primary school.

    lol MAC get games now? shit I am bloody behind the times, I recall many years back when mac got myst and all my mac friends were raving about it.

    hey isn't mac based around Unix/linux or some shit like that?

  11. LMFAO now that is the funniest thing I have heard/read all day.

    You sure its a networking course and not how to be an a pornstar? With all that talk of cock piercings and ass shaving no wonder you hide with the head phones on, I would too! This is what happens when you take a IT course that is a complete sausage fest, networking needs more GIRLZ!!

    We have one curry in our course who is a dead set pissa, he puts on this gay voice and shit stirs one of the bigger boys by feeling up his man b00bs. lol it must be a networking thing *wonders if its the same for the people doing programing*.

    lol I would say sure supply your audio file for laughs but hey you still aint delivered on those pics you mentioned in a previous thread. Fuck i sound like a nagging WOMEN *gasp*

    Protip: Study multi-media they have some glams doing that course XD I got busted sneaking into that class room a few weeks back. One of the boys was getting stuck into me saying I was trying to pick up. My reply was well at least I have the balls to walk in their and aint a virgin. I could imagine your ice breaker if you did the same thing, ZOMG a GIRL I have read so much about you on wikkipedia. =P

  12. Thats a pretty good little tut for subnetting, if only I came across it about 8 months ago when I needed it for a bloody exam. It took me a lil while to get seeing as I am a little mathematically challenged but thankfully one of the dudes doing my course is almost through his CCNP, so he was a big help. Your method is pretty much the same as mine. Truth be told I need to a refresher seeing as I have never had to deal with subnetting since the exam.

    I did this tut on subnetting a while ago for some online mates and as a resources for myself.

    http://animeyakuza.freeforums.org/basics-o...-exam-t326.html

    I only got as far as subnetting class C addresses I believe that the formula changes slightly when doing A and B and that shit about classless addresses is like putting a blonde chick in a round room and asking her to find a corner.

    Ah YES those easily side tracked teachers.... I had those last year. I also had a bunch of n00bz in the class that should not be doing the course (seriously they got as far as the TURN ON button). Thankfully they either left or failed.

    Hey are any of my fellow networking students doing bullshit subjects as part of their course? By bullshit I mean ethics, project management or anything else that aint directly related to networking. I have a couple of said modules to complete and by Christ they are a complete waste of time that could be better utilized. Worst part is these subjects are really text book driven and require a shit load of writing after school hours.

  13. Yeap first year was a sod, 2nd is getting a little better due to a higher quality of teaching seeing as we don't have the same pin heads as last year.

    Personally I hope we cover cisco IOS, IDS/IPS and linux/Windows 2003 a fair amount this year *fingers crossed* So far it appears that my course isn't exactly well planned and we just cover the basics for everything (which is not what was advertised).

    If the teaching is really bad unfortunately you will have do do a fair amount of reading while balancing work handed to you in class. It also helps if you can pool together with fellow class mates for an info exchange. The only problem with this method is somethings are best explained by a knowledgeable teacher because a book wont answer all your questions. By doing this you do also tend to get confused about shit a little more than one would like.

    Networking isn't hard their is just a lot to remember and it's confusing in parts. Oh and sub netting sucks balls! lol you can do my 2^n math homework. XD

    All and all it was a wise move in posting in here, I do it myself and the fellas sure know their shit.

  14. About 6 months ago I was mucking around with wireless networks in my neighborhood. More often than not people like to use the area code and their home phone number or their mobile phone number for their "secure" password.

    I must say it makes for interesting prank calls once you have used net send, exploited a network attached printer with a few page of ALL YOUR BASE BELONGS TO US. XD

    Or in the event they don't use the phone number as their WEP key a lot of people have the computer name set to something like J-smith or some shit or there location is in the SSID which can easily be found browsing the online phone book.

    I did the above as a demo to one of my neighbors who I am on friendly terms with, I then secured his Access Point and was given a bottle of Jim beam black label and advised I can borrow his bandwidth if need be. XD

  15. lol well played frozen, I love it how you reversed deceptions comment *round of applause*. Check mate.

    for the record Frozen has my sympathy, last year I had a Indian teacher with a shocking accent, this wouldn't have been half as bad if the twit actually new his shit. Our class was pretty much the following,

    So how do you *insert random question here*? Just google it. Um I didn't pay money to get an education of google!

    Thankfully a lot of the guys in my class where skilled in different area's so we just borrowed a room in the library and taught our selves.

  16. Yeap I have found that out first hand Vector, No xp chipset driver among other things and its starting to look like a right royal pain in the ass finding half the shit (hopefully the drivers in those links work for me).

    Personally I would rather just use ubuntu and be done with it but as much as I like wine I don't wanna be using it for packet tracer among other things for class, it just starts to get a little to messy and annoying for my liking.

    I read that swathe had win 7 somewhere on here and I have been somewhat considering installing it. I know for a beta its allegedly pretty stable but I still have some reservations on using it. Not to mention that I need to leech some bandwidth to get the .iso, bloody capped already.

  17. I was doing some research into downgrading from Vista to Win XP to check out any potential hurdles I may find in my way. Anyways I was curious if any of the 1525 owners have done the same thing and what they came across.

    From my reading I found that if you don't go into the bios and change the HDD type from ATHA to ATA you can run into problems. Also read that this method didn't work for some and they had to get the sata driver provided on dell's website and chuck it on usb for install prior to windows

    EDIT Just read if you have a copy of win xp with sp2 on it the hard drive driver/bios aint an issue(can anyone confirm/offer advice).

    I also had a look at dells xp drivers and other than finding the one for the wireless card, modem I got a bit lost. However I did find this http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-24760-d...downgrading-how which supposedly has everything needed to get all the devices working.

    List of hardware can be found here: http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/p...;l=en&s=dhs

    Also I was planning on install both xp and ubuntu on the one hdd with diff partitions, but last time I did this on my desktop I ran into a couple of issue's and opted to install each on a separate hdd. Was wondering if anyone has come across a problem like this.

    So yeah any advice for what I should keep in mind or slight problems that may occur would be greatly appropriated.
