You must have the .net framework installed for the application to work.

Edit: Yes. Yes you do.

Try running control.exe

I'm running low on methods of textually suggesting that I'm thoroughly pissy with people who design things specifically to fuck with systems. At least some method of preventing the attacks or antidotes would be nice.

Please report to Moonlit's office, c/o whichever is the nearest country where murder isn't a punishable offence. Thanks.

The problem with your suggestion is that it ignores anything that's in RAM but not on the HDD. This could be cached data, encryption keys, pieces of documents, just about anything. The HDD image is nice, but ideally you don't want to disturb the machine wherever you can avoid it, you may contaminate the HDD image or RAM dump. You could indeed run the HDD image in a VM, or at least extract data from it, but it's a little redundant in that the data in RAM has long since been destroyed (you walked away from the machine without it) and the VM would only have the data that you could extract using other methods (for example, examining the drive image without running it, perhaps bit by bit looking for patters that make up files, or even mounting a copy of the image on another machine).

Last year the thread was much the same, ideas and thoughts batted around a bit before the decision was made and I think that's kinda nice for a bit, it allows a decent amount of discussion before making the big points a bit more solid. If we wanna make this a bit more concrete though (and bear in mind we still have a little while before it needs to be set in stone) I think a vote would be a good idea, just so we can get an at-a-glance idea of what people are thinking.

...and one can only hope it taught you a lesson - don't be a dick.

No real requirements really, at least there weren't last time... feel free to bring whatever you feel you need, laptop, phone, PDA, router, stuff like that, but don't forget that you may need to carry it around with you at some point and that the more kit you bring, the more you have to keep track of when you drag it all out to play (risk of loss, theft).

And which knowledge is certainly required? I'm asking this cause I have a lack of several linux distributions. And even if I have a lack of knowledge, would it then be a good Idea to go? Sure, but that's what I mean, there will be people of all abilities there... there's little point in organising a complicated competition if 2 people at best will understand it. If it did happen and there were people who weren't interested in the competition, those who didn't want to participate would be free to do whatever. This is an advantage of it being fluid, if half the group wanted to play CTF but the other half didn't, that's cool, the other guys can watch and learn, they could go stock up on booze, they could go outside for a communal cigarette session, they could go and explore the town.

Seconded. Should do the trick.

Vista is my desktop OS, it's absolutely fine and I've not had any showstopping issues with it. It is a tad heavy though, so for older or lower powered systems I'm still happy with XP.

I'm a little biased but I think it's really been those interested have been primarily European and if those in the US want a meetup it would do them well to organise some themselves (though I know travel could be an issue, it's a pretty damn big place). You're right in saying that big events don't happen in the UK but I think we can be a little flexible in where in Europe we could go. I had thought of CCC some time ago, I mentioned it on IRC and someone mentioned that it was probably one of the worst times to travel, though I think it would be a good reason to justify trying. I agree that this doesn't need to be particularly rigid, fluidity is absolutely fine (and would probably make it more fun because we wouldn't be trying to get to things/places on a particular schedule) but I also agree that backups and Plan Bs are always a good idea just in case. Where we go will depend on what we plan to do and vice-versa to a certain degree, and if we do end up going to a user group or con group meeting (or even a con itself) then we might be a little more limited. Whether we do attend one of those things will depend on our intention to do our thing within a larger group of people. It'd be nice to meet as a group with others within the tech/security/computing fields but we'll have to see what our options are before we know if we're able to do so. A meeting/conference room would be a nice idea but I'd question our need for one, last time I think the hostel lounge was sufficient (though free wifi would've been nice, had it worked). Again, it depends on what we intend to do. Perhaps if we did do small contests or video watching sessions then it'd be advantageous but as cybereagle suggested, it'll depend heavily on who's there because many potential attendees might be unable to participate for lack of knowledge. Intoxication is a natural option but it's not something we need to do during the whole meetup, late time we kept the drinking to the evening really (except a pub visit or two, but that wasn't really to get hammered, more for refreshment) while we were doing other things, card games and attempting to get internet access (and many failed attempts to stream on Hak5Radio which we eventually managed in the middle of an office block courtyard).

I'll throw in another recommendation for the Asus EEE. It's portable, well built, easily powerful for most things, comes with Linux preinstalled if that's your bag and Windows drivers are provided if it isn't. The keyboard is better in my opinion than some have suggested, it's at least usable. The screen is a little small for any heavy duty work but is very clear and sharp despite its low resolution. Battery life isn't spectacular but it'll do the job. It's not the ideal laptop if you're planning to edit images or video and it's probably not the best machine for doing your spreadsheets on but it runs countless emulators, plays a surprising amount of games and is great for playing media. With eeectl (Windows only, but Linux methods are available) you can clock the CPU to its rated speed and it'll play 720p video. I didn't stick with the preinstalled xandros but XP runs very well even at stock speeds. Backtrack 3 works out of the box and boots fine from a 1GB SD card. It's not going to be storing your entire media collection with SSD sizes of 2-8GB (70x series) or 12-20GB (90x series) but a regular XP installs with ease with room to spare for your essentials. The SD card slot is SDHC compatible and with 3 USB ports there's plenty of room for card readers or external HDDs/optical drives. Overall a nice machine for the price but it's probably not going to be your primary portable machine.

Lazy fuckers.

Bear in mind that Virtual PC and (since Sparda mentioned it,) VMWare are virtualiation products and are presenting an x86 platform to the OS and applications you install on them. The PSPis MIPS based and is a very very different platform to a PC (or virtualised PC). The two platforms are highly incompatible and one would need an emulator to run code compiled for the other. Running native MIPS code on a PSP and comparing it to x86 code on a similarly clocked x86 (a virtualised x86 at that) isn't really a fair comparison... Would a PSP game run exactly as it does on the console on a Pentium II, 32MB RAM and 2MB graphics RAM with no modifications to the game play and graphics? Does it run on the PSP? No, they work very differently. Oh, and it was probably a typo but the PSP's CPU actually runs at 333MHz (though it was originally locked to 222MHz and I believe it's capable of just about any frequency).

Finally, no more cats on pianos and retards setting fire to deodorant cans.

Welcome codeboy, the rest of you quit it, locked.

Thanks for mirroring. :)

TOR is useless for privacy, not only does it mean that you can be monitored on your own network still but it also means that half the internet can watch your traffic too. TOR includes no encryption, it exists purely to pump your traffic through a selection of random nodes sprawled across the internet so it's harder to see where you are. I'd likely choose an SSH tunnel, as has already been suggested. Either set one up on your home machine or find a server somewhere you can use.

Say what? Moved to Everything Else.
