ive used vmware workstation in the past, setup a ipcop VM with 2 nics, 1 connected to bridge, and 1 connected to virtual lan, and put 2 or 3 vm's on the vlan. From there, you could set ipcop up so that it doesnt communicate with the normal lan, but i dunno how to do that right off hand.

I never saw anything wrong with hackling.. just another name for 'noob' (as in someone new, not meaning to be deragotory)

I've setup an IRCD before just for expirementing. After getting it and services going, I'm not sure how much more work it would require. (using hybrid on debian)

ditto manuel and moonlit

Yeah, but we can still turn it off in the channel. I don't see the problem with leaving it open until we have people start abusing it, but ill leave that decision up to an op.

You can't compile .bat files, and even if you could, exe files doesnt make it impossible to find it. One could still sniff the traffic, or even look into the exe file.

Yeah, I've seen similar bugs in other forums. As far as how to fix it, not a clue :)

I personally highly doubt anything criminal will happen to him. This is just another case of "your in a position of authority, you can go free." As far as what should happen, its been summed up. Take his behind to jail, and let him sit there a few years. THEN he can get help if he thinks he still needs it. As far as the Fox-Democrat/Republican thing, this is just another reason why I think political partys are stupid. Side note: has anyone seen the chat logs? someone told me the url (which i wil not post here, use google). they are VERY disturbing.

CDFS is a ROM based file system. IIRC, linux wont even write to mounted ISO files.

It would be good for social engineering. btw, if that hex is at the beginning the disk (not the partition), thats not where the bit is (assuming my pendrive works). something i did find however, on the diskprobe program that maxdamage mentioned, there is a "media flag" option under fat and ntfs boot sectors. Its really odd though, hard drives are B(something, i dont remember, at school atm) and my pendrive is set to F9 (again, i think). Setting it to whatever the Hard drives are just throws FAT out of format, and gets reset during a format.

Ok, so does NTFS hold the magic touch or what? It didnt seem to change much on my jumpdrive. Another note worth pointing out, are we editing the first byte of the partition or the first byte of the disk itself MaxDamage: just an idea, but put a hex dump of the first sector up so that we can compare whats different?

Im not having any luck with my lexar jumpdrive. I just saw max damage's post about it having to be NTFS? Im going to try that now.

in theory, you could use dd in linux to take out the first byte, hex edit it as needed, and dd it back in. I found these docs on MS's website after the U3 thing hit, but I was under the assumption that it was operating in firmware, and needed a usb firmware flash or something. VERY good catch maxdamage. Ill try this on my lexmark jump drive (256mb) when i get a chance (work tonight and have a project to wrap up for school) in the meantime, i just found my mp3 player ;) completely unrelated.

I voted come down in price, i paid $550 back in november for my lappy, compaq V2402US, sempron 2800+, 256, cd-rw+dvdrom, wired but no wireless. Those specs are lower than mine and used to boot.
