Could someone explain why I see this?Could someone explain why I see this?

Every time I get hit by that bot it queries about 360 pages over about 3 minutes. I checked the root http page for the five IP address that I have received that UA from. One was "under construction," one appeared to be a car dealership, one appeared to be a forum, one was a blank page, and one had no http server. Judging from this I'd have to say MFS is a php virus, but I checked the urls given in the request and the only one that responded (that was, by the way, running Apache 1.3.22 :roll: ) just return the text "Morfeus hacked you" without the source to the virus. Any ideas what this thing is? Any ideas on how to kill it? Any ideas on how to get it's source? The source is probably useless, however, since the web servers that I managed to query were all outdated versions of apache.

I think you answered your own question. You mean to tell me you haven't donated at least $147.50 for each installation of linux you use? You bastard!

My god that is the best thing i've read this year. My hat goes off to you sir. Hay. Do you think these pants make my penis look small? If your friend wants his computer to boot faster and wants to download his 1337 stuffs faster then tell him to "migrate" to a new computer with a faster internet connection.

If you're on a multiuser system I would suggest placing them in your documents folder. That will prevent anyone from modifing them without your noticing, so you don't kill your user account with an evil .reg file.

For a good windows programming language I'd say use one of the Express flavors of Visual Studio, or VS itself. The express editions are free, and it's easy to write managed code. .NET exports many of the libraries that you would use in to external .dlls held in the cache, so managed applications have small binaries and will load fast since most of the modules are already in system cache. The only problem is the prerequisite of the user installing the runtime, but many will have it installed via update. I'm using C++ Express. I like having the choice of writing either managed or native applications. C++ also makes it easy to import C projects. C++ Express also has a syntax to inline some assembly code for those times when you REALLY need speed(e.g. hash functions, encryption, compression). Today the only languages I use are C++, PoSH, and PHP. I'd point you to a C++ tutorial, but I can't remember how I learned it. It might be easier to learn .NET first than to learn .NET and C++ at the same time. I stated using VB .NET for about a year before I used C++ .NET. You could also learn .NET by learning to use Windows Powershell, but that's not a compiled language, it's easy to use however. So I'd say start out with VB .NET if C++ scares you. I don't see how it could be hard to find example code for C/C++ given the number of projects on Source Forge. Source Forge has many C/C++ projects to look at and many of them are library projects that can just be imported into native applications.

What's that?

No. ISPs usually don't use UPnP.

UPnP just uses UDP/SSDP to find UPnP devices. To communicate with a specific device, TCP is usually used. If I remember correctly UPnP port forwarding dealt with an array of public ports that are to be forwarded to specified private address at specified ports. Any UPnP client can, unless blocked (by IP or MAC address?), open, close, create, modify, or delete any UPnP NATed port. Also destination address are not bound to be the address of the client, and may, in a few of the dumber routers, even be an internet address or host name. Malicious intent? Just open ports 1 to 1024 from the internet onto the same ports on a computer that would have otherwise been protected. If not 1 to 1024 you could just chose the RPC ports on windows. That would kill a machine running Windows 95. I recommend that you do NOT test this. :zombie: In short: Do not use UPnP. [edit]To actually answer your original question... No. The only UPnP client that I have seen is that GUI that Windows will provide in network connections when it can see a UPnP router on the network. That's hardly pen test worthy, however.

I suggest you make more descriptive thread titles. I suggest you try not to use mov files. Not everyone wants to install iTunes to play them or has something else that can play them. Even after watching the video I'd have to suggest you tell us what your podcast is supposed to be about before any more suggestions are made.

I have been running a web site through my own internet connection for a while now. Initially I had been running Apache/PHP right on my desktop computer, but once VMware released their free server virtuallization I started using a LAMP in a VM. This is a nice cheep setup, but leaving my desktop computer on 24 hours is annoying me (loud fans) and eating a lot of power. So I want to get the server off of my desktop and start using a mini box. I'd like to hear some suggestions for firmware. Something that can be used as a web server and a file server, preferably on hardware that can use an external hard drive. I have already looked at OpenWRT and NSLU2-Linux. Are there any others that I should know about? Any user experience?

The first nickname that I used on the internet was Lost247. The name ment that I was out of my mind 24/7. I chose that name for anonymity. That failed. I used it on many high traffic forums. Now many of the top links on Google for "lost247" point to me. I still use that name since I still like Megatokyo, Minitokyo, Samurize, etc. Later I started using Neomaster247. I often shortened it to neo when possible. Then "The Matrix" hit theaters. I didn't see the movie until about 2 years later. People would always make some allusion to the movie so I decided to watch it, and I was only remotely amused. I have seen no evidence of anyone else use Neomaster247 so I basically own it, yet at seeing The Matrix I stoped using it. I eventually made up the name Weapon of Chaos to use in games and fantasy writing. It's a neet name to have when playing a game made by Square Enix. "Hi! I'm Chaos Weapon." Fun stuff. Some other people have used this one, but only a few and I never though there would be the possibility of me ever encountering the whole 2 or 3 other people that use that name. That was until I met someone using the name WeaponOfChaos on Battle.net. I thought I had lost my mind. More recently I have been using the name Lunatic Experimentalist. I like to do experiments in programming so toke the words 'mad scientist' and then found rough synonyms. I normally try to keep it full length whenever I don't have to type it over and over, but it is a long name. Due to the difficulty of just typing the name I am using, I quickly made a short for it. The first name that popped into my head was, of course 'Luna', but, as much as I would like to abuse control over other people by using a feminine name in the mostly male world of nerds, that was so wrong that it was too wrong. I eventually decided to just use the first 3 and 2 letters of each word making 'Lunex'.

Volume is always a necessity, and speed is sometimes a necessity. I carry a big hard drive and make use of a lot of RAM when speed is an issue. Computers often are expandable to 8GB now, and that should be enough space for most projects. When it comes to video processing I'd say the best bet would be to go with lossless or near lossless hardware accelerated transcoding to keep memory usage down. Support for that is a little slim right now, however, and will cost a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars, but getting the video transcoding on hardware will let you keep a video stream going for days without overloading the memory. So my vote would have to be high volume.

Wow. 200... Is that USD$? For one page? Sounds like he didn't shop around very much or you're a good con. Congratulations! However, for that to be economical you must be able to create a unique style and enter the content in just a few days and start your next job really quick. $200 doesn't last very long.

This is true because Macs only have one network connection connected directly to Apples mainframe.

I would suggest installing wiki software on your main server. Then have an ftp server to store binary data that is relevant to the text in the wiki (e.g. video files). Plus ftp makes mirroring really easy.

The pursuit of convenience leads to insecurities. Pleas do not store an administrator's password in plain text.
