  1. digip, you make it sound like it's a bad thing that Firefox uses addons for many of the extra features besides normal browsing. Why do you think that it's bad?

    I like that fact that Firefox is so modular as it is, and that I can basically get just the feature I want by installing an addon.

    One of the benefits of addons are that the developers of the addons can focus entirely on the features they are trying to incorporate, instead of also having to think about how javascript or flash works in the browser.

    For instance, why should a browser developer at Opera also spend time on implementing a bittorrent client and a mailclient into the browser? I doesn't make much sense to me, but I guess that's where different opinions come into place :)

  2. I just hope Mozilla can swallow their pride and adopt some of this code, the javascript VM and multi-process architecture in particular.

    I don't think that Mozilla will use the V8 engine in Firefox. They have been working on a new JS engine for Firefox during the last two months called "TraceMonkey", which in benchmarks show performance very closely to what V8 has achieved during the last two years.

    The benchmarks V8 have used to display the performance difference are heavily recursive, which the V8 takes deeply advantage of, and TraceMonkey don't have a feature to detect such recursions, which makes it magnitudes slower than V8 on that point. However, in more real life benchmarks the performance is almost the same.

  3. I have been through the first semester of CCNA, and I don't think it is worth that much. The things you learn from the course can't really be used to that much in real life, as you most likely aren't going to be messing with routers and BGP ie. for the first couple of years.

    If you want to work with Cisco equipment is if probably a great starting point, but for common computer/network knowledge I don't find that it's that good.

    I don't really have any other suggestions as I haven't done other courses yet (I might be on my way to get a Solaris Administrator course through work :)), but to my experience nothing beats working with the equipment in a real life scenario for at company. It also makes much more sense then.

  4. The really nice feature I think is that each individual tab in Chrome runs as its own separate PID. Maybe I'm out of touch and FF does this too now but AFAIK it's quite innovative. In theory, a nasty page wouldn't crash your whole browse, simply it's tab. Who knows.

    Firefox doesn't do that at the moment, it runs everything in one process. The Firefox team has thought of doing it like Chrome does it, but they thought that it would take up too many resources. Maybe that's about to change? :)

  5. ...and to force them to watch EVERY episode for a silly wiki seems a bit harsh.

    Especially considering that they can't find the information about which episode it is in the wiki, since it is just filled up with pr0n links atm. :P

  6. As the wiki is now, it has not really any purpose of cleaning up the links on the pages... I corrected the Asterisk page yesterday, and 12 hours later it has been edited 8 times by spambots. Unless we have people monitoring every change at any time of day there aren't really a way to keep it clean.

    I think we have to get some captchas involved, or maybe just ban some of the worst IP addresses where the spambots are coming from.

    Btw. Maybe there are some anti-spam methods mentioned on the mediawiki wiki: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam. Maybe we could get some of them set up? Does anybody have access to that other than Darren?

  7. I suppose that the lower script block is the realms_status_panel.php file, and that the following line is line 84:

    conn = mysql_connect($host2,$user2,$pass2) or die(mysql_error());

    In that case, you are missing a dollar sign in front of "conn" :)

    Edit: digip, he has added some extra lines in top of the file, so you can't just use the line number directly. Otherwise he would probably have gotten a parse error on the first line stating: "I hardly know anything about php and mysql but I am learning. Thanks for the help."

  8. The reason why the programs are launching in the background is probably because the webserver is launched as a service on your computer. When it is launched as a service, it doesn't have any desktop attached to it, and hence don't have anywhere to launch the programs you are launching, except from in the background where the webserver is running.

    I believe that if you could run the webserver in the foreground it would work.

  9. As I can't move the forced content using the old method is there anyway i can sort it out so it's valid html?

    I just came to think... Maybe you could prepend a PHP script which makes sure that the page shown is inside a frame, and then make another frame with the ad shown in it. I can't really come up with any other ideas.

  10. The MD5 hashed will most probably be located in the websites database, which you don't have access to unless you "gain" access to it someway around the website. Otherwise you would have to do some SQL injection on the site, in order to get the raw data from the database.

    If you just want to test out cracking of a MD5 hash, you could just try to make a MD5 hash through pages like this one and go nuts on it.

  11. I also tried removing the redirect using:

    wget http://media.libsyn.com/media/hak5xvid/hak5--3x11--xvid.avi

    and it still outputs a filename of: "hak5--3x11--xvid.avi?nvb=20080824163527&nva=20080825163527&t=04177d1610bfb3ebd7e8c"

    That is because you are being redirected anyway. Those parameters are probably some statistic/token specific parameters.

    The easy solution is to put "-O hak5--3x11--xvid.avi" at the end of your wget string, as it specifies the output filename.

  12. Well, the first two lines complain a file not being found. I would suggest trying to swap the slashes for backslashes, but I'm not sure if that solves it as it's running on Windows.

    The other errors could point to a broken PHP installation of some sort, but if you have installed Apache/PHP as a WAMP package, that shouldn't be the case. Are the mentioned files to be found on your system?

  13. All the following is from what I know from the top of my head, but I believe that it is correct ;)

    TCP is only used in DNS regards, if the amount of data which needs transfer is too much to be in a single UDP package. TCP is also used for zone transfers.

    People performing DNS queries towards your server will always contact it on port 53, regardless of TCP/UDP. The randomization of ports is only relevant when the DNS server is queried about a domain name it doesn't hold any information for, and then needs to do a recursive lookup to another DNS server.

    The patch will make the port used for replies to your DNS server random, instead of using a sequential number which is easily to find out for a hacker.

    I hope this may help you in any way.
