[Hiding FreeBSD Procs]

Not really, flicked through it at a bookstore once, seme to remeber it had intersting ideas on detecting hidden kernel modules and wiritng to kernel land memory..

Ah, I see.  It may just be that the methods of coding such things have been relatively uniform over time; your code block looks to be about 90% the same as one of Kong's code listings.  I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers, but I had just figured it was heavily based on how he did things in that book.

Hehe, looks like somebody read Designing BSD Rootkits: An Introduction to Kernel Hacking by Joseph Kong. :)

Nah, this is what is usually refferd to as a "half arsed hack". In fact if you go back to the pictures you'll see that this was actually not even that... I just taped some batterys, cat5 and foil together and somehow failed to damage anything.

But since its taking a device beyond its intended functionality, I'll call it a hack.

(before this my only hack was a slot car that went backwards very slowly, then overheated and took out the track)

Hehe, yeah I know what you mean. I guess I'm just a stickler for the techinicality; altering the method in which the device gets power doesn't necessarily affect the device itself. But no worries, I'm just playing devil's advocate. :)

Not to be a huge killjoy... but imho this isn't quite a "hack."

Not counting solder, you can modularly's change a hub's/switch's power source for just over $1 US.

Battery Holder:

http://www.futurlec.com/Batteries-Holders.shtml

$0.30 each

Female Power Plug:

Digi-Key Part Number CP-002D-ND

Description CONN POWER PLUG 1.3MM

*This varies with the specs of the hub/switch

$0.78 each

Add some solder, and you've got yourself a pluggable power source for $1.08.

Thanks!

Yeah, there were a few things that I wasn't fond of, particularly the SMG (sequential manual gearbox -- f1-style paddle-shift gearbox, true manual transmission, however). Plus it's warranty was going out, and those German cars are notoriously expensive to maintain. :(

I was considering grabbing a 6-spd manual in the near future, but who knows.

Bleh, had to re-register.

This is my 2002 M3 that I recently sold. In hindsight, I probably should've kept her... :( Quite a fun car...
