So for last few months ive been running vibe streamer (in wine on Ubuntu 8.10) so i can listen to music at school, (it creates a web server + DynDNS). problem is that is it only supports .mp3s (appears to be a limitation of flash). Anyone have a favorite music streaming program (preferably one that runs in ubuntu), that supports mp3, m4a, etc? Keep in mind the only thing i have on the client end is IE6.

You're right they do have answers and here they are.

Smooth Wall / Router + Windows Firewall (or ufw for ubuntu) is all you need, if you have a router you don't need a fancy software firewall, just something basic like the one included with the os.

...you need to learn more about computers in general, then you will know how lame that question is

there are many people who have had this problem before you, read more, stick with it, learn a few things. its really not too hard. if you have a more exact question i'd be happy to answer it best i can.

under 100Mb? xcopy

There are a bunch of way to do this, ill try list as many as i know with the pros and cons: 1) FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Pros: Easy to setup, fast, easy to use, cross platform. Cons: Not very secure. 2) SFTP (Secure FTP) Pros: Secure, fast, cross platform Cons: Not as easy to setup as normal FTP 3)VPN (Open-VPN) Pros: VERY Secure, easy to use after its setup, cross platform, fast Cons: Not easy to setup 4)VPN (hamachi) Pros: Easy to setup, and use, very secure, free and pro version available, cross platform but OSx/Linux arent the easiest to use Cons: Slow file transfer but if its just small .doc files this wont matter much 5) SharePoint Pros: Easy to use, setup, fast Cons: Not secure by default, not cross platform friendly Out of all of them i'd say try hamachi. easiest to setup and use (i am assuming the employees are not good with computers).

Are you that crazy bitch who harassed me at work claiming that some hacker was using her MAC address to steal her embroidery designs? If you are then i'll tell you again, the mac address will NOT help him 'hack' your router or steal your embroidery designs. I'm not trying to be a dick, but if that sounds like you, you ARE imagining it... and you're crazy. If this doesnt sound like you then you need to do some more research.

I saw his talk at defcon, awesome little tool, its not practical for any use other then playing a prank on a friend (does no damage to the target compy). The remote IR operates using the Sony "OFF" code, also used in the Defcon 16 badges ( also designed by Joe Grand). ---Planning on getting one if i can. This is a legit tool and works, the site however is NSFW! (though it is just ascii)

...and at that point the game is already over. They have much bigger problems if you have physical access to the computer, and can run executables. The tool linked to above by X3N retrieves keys from the client's registry and is run locally, see the usb-switchblade for more info on how to sneakily run this.

i pre ordered it, been playing the demo non stop, awesome game. Its not, comes out Nov 18th. You can play the demo though :)

Running Ubuntu 8.04, and want a program that can scan an entire directory (/home/user/music) and convert all the .m4a files to .mp3. I have found ways to do this, but some programs will only do one file at a time. Does anyone know of a way to do all of /music/ at one time?

WEP is broken to the point where it'd just be faster to crack the key using traffic from the AP, instead of trying to get it from the client (though it is not impossible to get WEP keys from a client). Basically why this does not work for WPA is because of PSK (Pre-Shared Key). A request to connect to a network using WPA is encrypted using this key. Since the fon will not have the matching encryption key it will not understand the request (it just looks like random data), and not respond. Also the actual encryption key itself is never sent across the network, (PSK again) the computer is assuming the AP already has the key, so there is no need to send it, this is how passwords and PSK-encryption differ. When a client connects it preforms a "handshake" (similar to TCP/IP) from which a key can be found, however this process is very slow if the AP has a good password (several hundred million years slow).

Apps To Name Few: ubuntu tweak (system tweaks) virtual box (free vmware by sun) proftp (ftp server) xbmc/boxee (great media centers) amarok (what itunes should be) vlc (good ol' vlc) xchat (irc client) nexuiz (game, fps) wireshark (fun) endless... most of these (linked to the ones you cannot) you can install by just typing "sudo apt-get install %appname%" in the shell

i have invites, find me on the hak5 IRC (sable)

so in case anyone runs into this problem and doesnt know what "run wine as root" means (most ppl running linux im sure alrdy know how to do it but there are noobs out there). Open terminal and type: sudu su cd .\wine\c_drive\program files\vibestreamer wine vibestreamer.exe

im an idoit... thx sparda

(Ubuntu 8.04) So im running vibe streamer (in wine). Its basically a webserver that streams MP3s for you. I'm trying to set it up on port 80 so i can listen to it at school (almost all the other ports are blocked). But when i try to set vibe streamer's port to 80 i get a "2008-10-26 17:50:53 Webserver could not be started (Could not bind socket to (All unassigned) port (80))" But 8080 (and all the higher ports) work fine, why is this? Is there a way to find what is bound to port 80 or just assign vibe streamer to port 80.

My wrt54g running openWRT recently died. I find myself in need of a new router, but i'm not sure which ones run custom (ddwrt/tomato) firmware the best. Anyone got a favorite router in the $50-100 range (with wireless G, though N would be nice), that can be purchased new. Preferable from a store, so i don't have to wait/pay for shipping.

Yes, that's the one i was looking for, forgot it was on xkcd. :)

nLite is very useful for this sort of thing, you can make a 400mb version of xp if you want to. And allows you to do slipstreams as Leapo suggested above.
