  1. While a prerecorded compact disc has its information permanently stamped into its polycarbonate plastic substrate, a CD-RW disc contains a phase-change alloy recording layer composed of a phase change material, most often AgInSbTe, an alloy of silver, indium, antimony and tellurium. An infra-red laser beam is employed to selectively heat and melt the crystallized recording layer into an amorphous state or to anneal it at a lower temperature back to its crystalline state. The different reflectance of the resulting areas make them appear like the pits and lands of a prerecorded CD.

    Basically an Ink.

  2. Most instant messaging runs through a server so you usually need to intiate a file transfer to determine their IP address.

    E-mail depends on what serving software is used so is unreliable again.

  3. Firstly, i point to my post answering your question about Bittorrent.

    Secondly I warn you not to breach the DMCA agreement, we don't want Hak5 taken away from us. So we shall keep DVD ripping to non-US servers.

  4. Google, Wikipeida, so many places with excellent information, on demand and instant. And you choose a forum so you can wait and get flamed.

    What has the world come to?

  5. Microsoft released a utility to "lock-down" windows machines, it was designed for use with public computers like in libaries or internet cafes.

    I haven't gotten around to playing with it yet and I don't know whether it works with home but that should probably be your first port of call.

  6. MacBook Pro

    2.33GHz Core 2 Duo

    2GB of 667MHz DDRII

    160GB HDD

    x1600 with 256MB of RAM

    Desktop

    2.0GHz Athlon 64 3200+

    1GB of 400MHz DDR (2-2-2-5 timings)

    6600GT with 128MB of RAM

    2x 320GB 7200.10 HDD

    2x 200GB DiamondMax 10 HDD

    I'm not going to bother putting my sever specs down here because I will be here till christmas.

  7. Nothing special there, although I really don't understand what you were going on about the nmap with the gateway. The gateway has nothing to do with with doing any network enumaration really.

    It all sounds a bit odd really, if you wanted a secure public ap then vlans would be the way to go with each computer getting an individual one.

  8. Basically to do it properly you have to have an ISP that supports Bonding, that way you have one IP and your ISP will sort out spliting the information up and sending it to you, all your router does is re-assemble it and forward it, hardly and different than a normal router.

    You can do it without proper line bonding but your router needs to be more sophisticated to maximize usage. This set up appeals to me more anyway as I can have a dedicated line for servers and the other for home use, so my servers always have priority on a line.

  9. Waste of money in my opinion. Really the only secure wlan is one which requires a VPN connection to the network in question.

    Other than that any public hot spot wlan can't be secure because the features needed to make it secure are two time consuming to set up for the public to come and use it. A good captive portal and radius sever will stop people 99.9% of people from stealing the internet, but if its not in your T&C that you cannot be held responsible for loss of security then you are an idiot.

  10. If IP Cop is any good then you should be able to set it up to forward all data for the second public IP address to a computer on your home network or DMZ.

    I know Monowall does this so I don't see why not IP Cop shouldn't.
