  1. I tried out enlightenment when I first installed Gentoo. It's quite nice, but it can be a pain in the ass to do some of the customizations that I think should be easy to do, which is why I prefer Fluxbox
  2. Looks like Firefox and Gaim are popular ones. 1. Firefox (go figure) 2. Gaim (wow, go figure again) 3. Nmap - saves my ass all the time 4. VMWare Workstation 5. GnuPG 6. GCC 7. VIM 8. Wireshark 9. Dsniff 10. OTR (off-the-record messaging, plugin for Gaim rocks) This list was just thrown together on a whim, so the apps are in no particular order of precedence.
  3. who needs a desktop environment? haha, jk I like fluxbox, lightweight and fast. KDE is a bit too heavy, but still nice. Gnome, oh my god, too damn clunky.
  4. I thought some of you may be interested in hearing this The show notes can be found on the SploitCast forums
  5. Each OS has it's strong point. For developing I like Gentoo. For work I prefer Windows, I mean, Office XP still owns anything else out there, and yes, it even owns open office because of integration with Sharepoint and other technologies. For databases, Solaris can't be touched. BSD variants are awesome for servers, etc. For everything else, I prefer OSX
  6. Nah, all my SAP stuff can be done on Gentoo, however on occasion I'll write some code to work with SAP and there is a SAP .NET connector for Windows that makes writing code in C# for SAP real easy. So instead of using Gentoo and then switching back and forth between Windows when I need to use the .NET connector, I just stay in Windows during the work day. Because on my Windows partition, the only stuff I have installed is work related software (as of my latest rebuild), so it runs beautifully and never crashes. In fact, Windows works quite well until you start installing shit programs.
  7. Aah, I see. I have four free tickets because of what happened last year, haha. But they are all already accounted for.
  8. Man, I used to have a bunch of computers to which (in this forum thread) I would be able to post a long list of all my OS' and such. But quite frankly I am happy to say that I sold off all my computers and I now have only two remaining. My Apple Powerbook (older model, firs edition Ti) and my IBM (yes, before they sold to Lenovo) ThinkPad. My Powerbook is obviously running OSX, but I rarely use it. I know it's sad to have a nice Apple sitting around, but I don't have time to use computers for pleasure anymore, and it's slower than my ThinkPad so I don't do any work on it. My ThinkPad is dual booting Windows XP Pro and Gentoo. I must say that lately I have been spending all my time in Windows because of work.
  9. I would have to say Gentoo is my favorite OS to date. Closely followed by OSX because I think it's the best merge between a powerfull UNIX OS and an easy to use consumer OS.
  10. 802.11 G-Spot Jon came up with that one when we were living together, I kept it even after we moved out.
  11. Yeah, I was there last year, that definitely sucked.
  12. Anyone going? I will definitely be there. Just curious if anyone else on these forums had any interest in F1 or was planning on being in Indianapolis for the race weekend.
  13. Yah it's a loft style apartment. Not that asian, she's 5'9.5
  14. Agreed. One of the perks of doing CFH is that we get to go to Canada and bring back the good beer. Unfortunately Harrison still doesn't know how to drink a beer out of a glass bottle, a skill that obviously eludes even the most leet hacker, as seen by the amount of head in that beer. Harrison good buddy, leave some room for the beer to breathe when you sip it or get a mug. ;) LMAO, I was going to comment on the same thing. :) pfft, leaving time for the beer to breathe? i dont have time for that, i gotta drink that shit while I still can!
  15. In case anyone was wondering, SploitCast forums are back online. http://www.sploitcast.com/forums
  16. Daaaamn, Imma go get my grill made tomorrow!!! Straight up thug, aint nothin but a g-thang. What do you guys think of diamonds?
  17. Yeah I tried it out this morning, and got rejected. Which is probably a good thinhg, I am wasting enough time posting on the forum to begin with, let alone if I were able to watch the world cup...man I wouldn't get any work done.
  18. Well, I am not going to recommend you buying one without calling your ISP first, since it seems like you have beem having some trouble with them. I have made recommendations before and gotten bitched out when they didn't work out, haha. But SonicWall's website has some great whitepapers on doing various setups and configurations for your router. They also have good wizards.
  19. SonicWall is good because you can get them pretty cheap on ebay. I am using a SonicWall TZ 170 at my house, and it's pretty good. Doesn't have the CLI like Cisco, it's still a web based interface, but it makes it easy to configure. I would say they are pretty good. I think it's certainly better than running win2k3 server as a gateway, particularly if you plan on running other services on that win machine as well.
  20. In light of Darren's recent post on the forums, I decided to run a little poll of my own. Recently, I had a professional photographer take pictures of me as well, and I want to know which one you guys think I should use as my corporate profile. I tried to pick out the ones that are the most flattering of me. Of the many many great pics, these were the best in my opinion. You can find the pictures here: http://sploitcast.com/images/harrison/ Keep in mind, a professional photographer took these!! (lol, Darren, you know I had to do this)
  21. Actually, there are plenty of ways. TCP/IP Stack fingerprinting is one. But like I mentioned before, it would be a complete waste for an ISP to perform this. Check this link for more information on detecting OS'.
  22. I would really consider putting another device in front of your machine. Pick up a cheap sonicwall off ebay or something. Also, how exactly does the ISP know that you are running Linux as a gateway? Have you tried, or did they just tell you that? It seems like they would have to be running constant fingerprinting to check your OS in order to determine what system you are using as a gateway... that seems like a waste of effort on their end...
  23. Remember the good ole days when old school trojans used to do this?
  24. If you plan on using flash a lot, most likely you can use it to earn back the expense of buying it. If you just want it for something quick, check out some of the cheaper (but still good) alternatives like swish. But for christ's sake, please don't ask how to download illegal software anymore. At least once a week, someone hops on these forums expecting a freebie.
