And by "let me use the computer", I mean "sent to the principal's office". Just kidding. Red hot dragon u jelly bro.

In 2nd grade our classroom had a computer. I would always finish my homework in class at the end of the day before everyone so the teacher would let me use the computer. Turns out I was just pretending to do the assignment, then saying I was done, and finishing the assignment at home.

Don't bother generating tables if you're not using graphics cards. Services exist online to submit a hash; you don't have to hold the tables. There used to be tons of torrents for tables. Go find them and seed. Trade tables using external drives at 2600/dc meetings or cons; digininja brought a drive to Shmoo one year, iirc.

Good sources for this are [H] and /g/. Post your workstation 2011 thread: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1573489 Case mod gallery has all sorts of threads with pics of battlestations: http://hardforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=76 I haven't been on /g/ in a while, but last I was there, people were posting battlestation pics daily and trolling about gentoo: http://4chan.org/g/ In the end, only you know what you have and want to do :)

You're more likely to end up with a job as opposed to a criminal record :P

Check out Waze on Android. People who use it can post updates about locations for items such as speed traps and accidents. Waze is good as multiple people can confirm a submission, e.g. validation. It also has a gaming type of m.o. where you collect coins and achievements the more you use it, so that people are enticed to keep using it. The twitter feed would only be helpful if people can contribute to it, but there is no validation system. What's to prevent some law enforcement troll from forking a bunch of instances of a script submitting bad GPS coordinates through tor to the feed and effectively obliterating the signal:noise ratio? The idea is fine, just needs some controls. For now, Waze is the best way to go, of which I'm aware.

Have you looked at slipstreaming with nLite? At home I just re-image or restore a snapshot, and I've never done Windows admin professionally, so might be off the mark.

This was one of the first things I did with FOSS. You will learn more if you build it yourself; e.g. don't bother with niche distros. Just grab a Debian or OpenBSD ISO and google for building a firewall. I hardly do any network stuff now but to this day my ebtables, iptables, and pf knowledge still serve me well. One other note, Linux and BSD can perform firewall and router functionality for a residential connection just fine on super old hardware. No need to go out and buy new equipment in this case; either re-purpose one of your old boxes or grab one from a friend/craigslist. In school, our house had five CS majors and our firewall/router was a 90MHz Pentium box with OpenBSD. So grab an ISO and start googling :]

I will be there, looks like it's going to be a fun con. Come say hi :] Schedule for everyone else: http://www.derbycon.com/schedule/

To work smarter, not harder? :) I know your point, I was just being snarky, and in a way making my own point of avoiding wheel re-invention.

Do you mean fdisk and/or parted?

I would train Darren for this; it wouldn't be a competition so much as a massacre.

oom_adj is deprecated In my limited experience, a consistently flaky install is quite often indicative of either bad install media (USB drive) or bad target media (RAM or HDD). What have you done thus far to test your hardware?

There are a good amount of google results for that message. Does the system always hang there every time? Have you tried modifying any parameters in GRUB? I would probably take this to the backtrack forums at this point, tbh.

Make sure your USB drive is big enough; the BT5 iso > 4GB, iirc. Then make a partition on the USB drive of type 0x0b, format it FAT32, and use Unetbootin. If you're still encountering problems, post back with a specific step-by-step list of everything you did, and always google as you encounter issues along the way. People seem to run BT5 natively on their MBP without issue, according to the backtrack forums http://goo.gl/DSiOj

Not really broken, just misquoted/FUD it seems. NIST is in the process of rolling new standards anyways.

nmap -sP 0.0.0.0/0 :)

This. Also check out the error reporting functionality in PHP: http://goo.gl/abxwF <?php // Report all PHP errors error_reporting(E_ALL); ...

You're right, there are limitations. My reply was just the pure numbers, like the friction-less lab in physics. IRL, tubes get full ;]

Short: I think GUnPacker can do it: http://goo.gl/FsP9Z Long: ARTeam has a tutorial, but it's a VB target, so their approach may not be completely relevant: http://goo.gl/44NsB Longer: Get to learning with your debugger ;]

My network-fu is not very strong, but I believe the max is the number of nodes on your network segment that you can reach via ARP. In school, I used to MitM the four other guys in the house with ettercap. When looking at the packets, you're basically telling the victims that the gateway's MAC address is your MAC address. It's been years since I've done any real network stuff, so someone speak up if I'm wrong.
