    Suggestions for Router Torrent box

    in Hacks & Mods

    Posted

    Well, I have a torrent client running on my Linux server here at home, and it's running rTorrent - A cli torrent client written in C (I think?): http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/

    It's set up to check a certain folder every once in a while for new .torrent files, and starts downloading them automatically when it finds them.

    I also have set up a webinterface for it rTorrent, in order to easily start/stop/delete torrents, instead of having to SSH into the server. For the webinterface I use wTorrent found here: http://www.wtorrent-project.org/trac/

    I got a really slick AJAXy interface where you also are able to add new torrents and what not.

    Maybe this could be the base of something?

    what to do with new Server toys......

    in Questions

    So, we upgraded our servers at work, and I took home some new toys... I've got 3 Compaq DL-380's, running dual PIII 800's, and 3gb RAM each, as well as being loaded with 5 18.2gb SCSI drives a piece. I even got the Netshelter rack with them!

    Heh, I've got a DL-320 (I think that's what it called. The 1U version) with dual P3 1.3 GHz, 2GB RAM and 2 x 18 GB 15.000 RPM SCSI drives that I'm not using too. I need a datacenter somewhere to put it up, if I ever find a use for it, as it's simply too noisy to have running at home.

    These servers are probably best a web or database servers, as their storage is fast but there isn't much of it. Gameservers are also an option, I have brought a rack server to a LAN party before to run BF 2 gameservers from it :)

    they wont let me access HAK5

    a more simple approach to getting to the site is when the site is blocked just ping hak5.org and enter the ip address in. this should work unless they are blocking the ip which isnt something normal so give it a try.

    Have you tried? http://75.126.127.87/ - It just redirects to http://www.hak5.org/ which doesn't do any good. Then he have to insert the IP address and hostname in the hosts file on the PC, in order to circumvent any DNS blocking.

    Ideas for future eps

    A segment on how you guys do the opening cgi would be awesome along with what programs to use for the links that move in on the bar at the bottom of the screen while shooting. A demo of this would really be helpful too.

    Thanks

    There was a previous "behind the scenes" episode in season 2 or 3, where it's shown which software they use for the overlay graphics. I think it was Sony Vegas back then, but I don't know if they still are using it.

    Switch detection

    That is wrong digip. A normal layer 2 switch (which I presume we are talking about, unless otherwise mentioned) doesn't have any ARP table, and doesn't send any packets at all on it's own.

    ARP is used for having a relation between IP addresses and MAC addresses, and since layer 2 switches aren't aware of IP addresses, they don't use ARP. Instead they have a list of which port they last seen a certain MAC address at.

    Normal unmanaged switches doesn't have an IP address, you have to get a layer 3 switch in order to have that.

    Many managed switches are able to detect if another switch (managed or other wise) is connected to one of it's ports.

    Do you have an example of this? I can't remember that I have seen such feature, at least not on an unmanaged switch, but I don't manage switches that often.

    Managed switches do have certain switch protocols like spanning tree and network discovery protocols which are probably used for it.

    The point about swapping the connector pairs in the port, and see how the other device acts on this probably doesn't work, since most never network interfaces also have this ability.

    What's your favorite source code editor?

    I see a lot of people using Notepad++ on Windows. Unfortunately I'd need to install a lot of plugins before I'd get PSPad's functionality (Function list, encoding conversion, hex editor, compare files, FTP synchronise, HTML tag matching, etc...).

    You make it sound like it's a bad thing that you have to install plugins in order to get some of those features, why so?

    I see it as an advantage, it makes the application modular and more stable, since you could just uninstall a plugin if it isn't stable. You can remove features you don't use, making the editor faster and more stable. You get more features through plugins, as other developers can make more specific plugins which targets features only few people are using, where you may be one of them.

    It's all like with a vanilla Firefox, it is outperformed by Opera by far features wise, but when you take the addons into account the roles are turned around...

    im a noob at php and mysql. need some advice

    What you really need to do, if its not already done, is tab out your code, it really does help debugging and reading the code.

    The code is already indented, just look at the code in the code box. It however isn't when copy/pasted from the code box, which can be quite frustrating.

    Maybe using some kind of pastebin would make it easier with this amount of code? It also features line numbering and syntax highlighting.
