Not sure but I think there was an episode on bsodtv that went into this. They do a lot of phreaking stuff on the show and explaining about phone systems, so check their show notes.

Don't know if this helps, or what OS version it is running, but under for Toshiba E800's try: Go to START > Settings > System > Wireless LAN Manager and the TAB Info

First, I would check google, since its like the most obvious teacher and will bring you closer to any questions being answered about web pages than you will realize. As far as books, start with: http://www.biblio.com/books/83578439.html and also, there is one for PHP(if your going to use a host that has PHP, which most do these days). While you can find all the HTML coding in the world online, the book makes a nice reference to have on hand and keep you sharp on the fundamentals. I also like the w3schools site. Lots of resources, but if you want to start with the basics on scripting and html, try: http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp Then get to things like layouts, using CSS and XML, etc. Once you have all the basics, and you can do them in plain text from scratch, move on to the automated programs with templates, but starting with them first will only slow the learning curve since your not really digging into the code. Hands on is the best way to learn and using drag and drop items in something like dreamweaver or frontpage is just going to make you lazy and not really understand whats going on behind the scenes. There isn't one thing you can't do in plain text that these programs do for you aside from Flash, and while a lot of hosts come with some basic templates and editors built into their control panels, I find that they make pretty bland and boring sites which ALWAYS need tweaking in the end anyway.

I think maybe follow your original thread for updating new episodes, instead of creating a new one for each show. Keep the "spam" down, I guess as they say, but this forum really is about the hak5 community and not so much for advertising our personal agenda. Just add your site and the page on your site pointing to the show links, to your "sig"and be done with it. I think enough people get the idea and will tune in if the content is there. Let's face it, probably half the people on here are already watching because they are still learning things at this point, so I am sure having site links in your sig will be sufficient without geting all the flames for advertising your show with tons of new posts. I think these best place for the discussions is probably on your site, but it takes time to get a following, have patience.

TREE /? lists the help file. Pretty dumb I didn't think of it until after I checked google...

I like the video: http://www.mattround.freeserve.co.uk/files/tribute.swf

Headphones, but I run through a stereo output when not using the headphones, and its the same thing coming through my stereo speakers. Low, then LOUD, then low, then LOUD... If your using MovieMaker, use the graphical wav as your guidline and then LOWER the volume for the music clips your adding within the timeline. Each video clips audio can be adjuste din there as well, so if you wanted to pump up your voice a little you could do that as well. This is one of the reasons I was telling you about using a good compressor for the mic recordings. It levels out the volume before its recorded, so you don;t need to do as much post production on the audio. Its easier if you are recording avi's and not wmv's directly to MovieMaker. With an avi, you can dump the audio to something like sound forge and clean it up, noise reduce, etc, then dump it back in with virtual dub. Record the video uncompressed, then dump the audio using virtual dub, clean it up, then put it back in, but compress it using xvid(not divx). Then load all of them into MovieMaker or Camtasia for editing. (be sure not to use divx vids in movie maker, it makes it very unhappy and usually crashes it...a lot.)

Well, VMPlayer is free, and there are ways to use it to load and install ISO's so you could kinda say it's free vmware.

Isn't that only going to work for Linux and OSX? What OS is he running? Im using wmrecorder for getting at those pesky mms:// sites under windows but there are many you can find on google.

Few things. Maybe give a quick outline of the show, then roll the opeing credits. Also, cut that inro down a little. It's a bit long. and level the volume between the music and your spoken clips. The up down up down makes it hard on the ears. I keep turning it up to hear you, then the music blasts and its a bit painfull.

Thats funny, none of the links seem to do anything...oh, wait a minute, you funny guys...now I have poisoned my dns...oh no, I need the antidote, quick, wheres that bottle of own jooz! Get me a copy of nMap, stat! Evil Server...you are not my father....noooooooooooooo...... "Boom...headshot" /me shoots self in the head...

Nevermind. Just figured it out. You use /A to remove the ascii text when switching (>) output to a text file. EX: TREE C: /A > Tree.txt Sorry. I looked all over and then I remember the old /? to get the help file from dos commands. Should have checked there first, but didn't think of it at the time.

Ok, I checked google for this and didn't find what I was looking for. Lots of info on TREE command and what it does, but I want to output it to a text file. The problem is it leaves the ascii text in the text file, but what I wanted to know is there a way to convert it to lines, or underscores to be viweable in something like a plain text editor. Here is what I am doing from a command prompt: TREE c: > DriveTree.txt It creates the text file ok, but its garbled data and makes it hard to read. The reason I am doing this is I want a quick way to copy a drives structure to things like a usb key, etc. but I would probably end up just using the DIR command to list the directories instead since this is almost unreadable in plain text. I just like the tree layout and how it looked though. Would make a nice image file to print out as well. Here is what it looks like in a command window. Anyone have any idea how to write it out so it would look the same in a text file or some other document format?

If your using a second hard drive, and not using a swap file on the main hard drive at all, but only on the second hard drive, you shoul dsee an increase in performance, not less. An old 2 gig(or larger) could still be one with 7200 or more rpm disk speed. And it wasn't to be used for extra storage, just for the pagefile.

Here is a good article to work from. http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.php I personally find that if your using large files and your only using 512 megs or lower, double that virtual space because you will surely use up the ram in no time. The larger your ram, the less you will need in virtual space, but your going to reach a limit eventually. Windows doesn't handle anything over 4 gig, so if you have 2 gig of ram and a virtual mem set at 2 gig, your going to be ok, but once it tries to go beyond that it usually craps out (that is if its working with something over that limit, even with virtual ram over that of your physical, but in smaller ram environments, like 128 meg, you can easily set a swap file of 512)

Filezilla does sFTP.

better off with an xd card with built in reader, but still slow because is an added device not meant to be for high speeddata transfer. Even USB 2.0 and Firewire are not going to beat your hard drives speed. I personally use an extra harddrive and have it set up for my swap file/virtual mem whatever you want to call it. Even if you have an old 2 gig or whatever laying around, use the entire available space on the drive as extended memory but make sure it doesn't exceed more than double your maximum ram or it kid of defeats the purpose. Will ony create more lag if your virtual memory far outways your physical ram. Keep them sort of close together in size (or at least on Windows, anyway).

Was wondering, is your neighbor using your router without your permission? If so, he can allways change his mac address to get around MAC filtering. I do this all the time just because I don't like to use the same MAC address twice when I am on wireless network, just for secureity reasons. If he is using it without premission, set up some encryption on the router, like WEP/WAP (only they can be cracked) but most average users arent going to be getting in if they are running windows. If you can see if he isnt changing his PC's name, then you can try to restrict it by Computer name on the server side. The logs will show each computers name as well as ip and mac address, so you might be able to do it with the netbios name of the pc, restricting it from only using what you want. Maybe assign him a static address based on his pc name and not just the MAC address.

Well, vb6 can do the entire process and update the desktop all at once. The purpose of all this was because: #1 no one would need to have visual basic installed to compile the program to an executable #2 using this script, people are learning how to do things within windows and it can come in usefull for future hacks #3 he could have just downloaded the "app a day" program that did it for him, but he asked about using scripts, so that is why this was done with the basics windows comes with, or can do out of the box #4 if you wanted to do a quick compiled vb6 app, they would need the appropriate dlls installed to run anything compiled with vb6. #5 Flat out c++ would have been a better choice and faster as well not needing vb6 installed or corresponding dll's, but again, we were looking at doing it with just scripts

Right now the way this works it will not chang if using jpegs. There is another process windows does to convert the jpeg to a bitmap before setting it as wallpaper. If you can write that part of the code we can add it to the script so it will then accept jpegs. The same would need to happen for gif,png, etc but I do not kno whow to write an image conversion program using pure vbs. maybe a way to script paint.exe into doing it for us behind the scenes and then setting the converted image as wallpaper?

Ok. I see where I messed it up. I got it working now. Thanks for that peice of code JohnArtisan for the desktop refresh. Your script works, but it will not run on win98. Also went and tested it and made the appropiate changes for the DLL locations in 98, and it gets a "missing entry:UpdatePerUserSystemParameters" and it crashes Rundll32.exe I like your code better than what I came up with though, it will only work on NT systems. I tried looking through the user32.dll and couldnt find any hooks for anything other than initializing the user interface, but that seems to just crash rundll as well and doesnt work. Any suggestions on how to get it to run under 98?

The government does have somethings to scramble data and electronic devices, but there is no way to leave a message on your screen without hacking into your system remotely or with direct access to the pc. As far as the black box thing, they do have a device that will send out an electrical pulse, but I don't know if that is what they are talking about. It has the power to make a car stop running when close enough, so anything like that used near a pc, would most likely kill the pc's data in the process and any electronics on within range. I doubt that if they wanted to recover something that they would even use something like that. It would leave them no way to have the computer display anything...

Virtual Dub and AVISynth will do the job, along with XVID codec for compression + mpeg2 filters: http://nickyguides.digital-digest.com/synth-vdub.htm
