    Noob question

    in Questions

    Posted

    So my question is even though we keep calling people who play with systems "hackers" should they really be referd to as "crackers" as the original definition of a "hacker" I've read originally defined only "hacking" code and not actually breaking into computer systems?

    Or have I got it arse about?

    Does anyone know the address for e-mail mobiles/cell in the UK?!??

    :?

    Cheers

    exactly what i wanted to know

    When I was in the UK about 3 years back, I signed up for an o2.co.uk email account and was able to get sms's for free to my phone. I don't know if this is still the case!

    Good luck, now can someone help me find a free provider for email2sms in australia? ;)

    I kinda just ignored the thing, but I kept getting loads of spam like "HotWoman_12049232 Wants To Be Your Friend", so the other day at school when I heard some people saying that they liked it a lot, I decided to take the plunge and delete my myspace, and bebo. Such a good feeling!

    Or you could be like me, and just not have a myspace account and not bother :P

    Peer pressure! haven't given into it to sign up for myspace. Never will!

    The Admin computers are to perform no more tasks then the student computers, as such having a seperate specification is just not nessasery.

    As I said, it depends on the TASK of the computers. If both are doing word processing then, you are completely correct. They can be the same spec machine.

    There are 120 computers... recording all there MAC addresses would be rather impractical. As I said, the IP address range of the Admin and student computers been seperate would be usfull, however, I still do not see how the DHCP server will know which computers are admin computer and whcih are student (short of writing down all the MACs and entering them into the DHCP server).

    Again, I work at a school that runs close to 200 staff laptops, 100 student access computers (desktops), and 1000 student laptops. Every mac address is recorded. The Laptops MUST be entered into radius. They get their ip address that way. The desktops are all entered into DHCP and the switches are configured with a cisco setting called "Port Security" so that no one can just plug in.

    Believe me when I say recording ALL MAC addresses is a task that IS done. And the university that I used to attended, have all the MAC addresses imported into the LDAP directory for re-imaging and ip addressing via Novell's eDirectory.

    Edit: I neglected to mention that the University has close to over 1000 student access computers across just one campus. There are 5 campuses. Do the sums.

    I would also like to point out in this desighn it's surgested that you have two seperate PC specifications for both the Admin computers (Admin = staff (no idea why)) and the students. This of course is stupid so i droped this idea (every one else seemed to stick to it though).

    Actually, this is not as stupid as you think. It really depends on the specifications and needs for the students/staff. I.E. student PCs might need a CD-RW/DVD-RW drive for backing up photoshop images because they do an arts subject, however Admin Staff might only need a CD-RW/DVD Drive because everything is backed up to the network attached storage.

    For this bit of the netywork you have to show this dispite it been quite obsurd. The admin and student computers have diffrent IP addesses (Student computers would have 192.168.1.x and admin would have 192.168.2.x), now that seems like a usfull thing for IP filtering. However the parcticality of implimenting this is rediculose. How is the DHCP server going to know which computer is an Admin computer or a student computer?! The local admin goes around writing down MAC addresses and enters them in the DHCP server?! I think not! As I said, dispite this been quite obsurde, you have to do it, you have no choice.

    Again, not as absurd as you think. Using VLANs you can designate that all student PCs plugged into specific ports are automatically assigned a "student ip address range". Likewise, for staff. This is usually a good idea because you wouldn't want a student impersonating a staff machine and getting information such as payroll or student records.

    In a small LAN, it's quite easy to record the MAC address of each PC and enter it into a DHCP server. In fact, it's best practice to record the MAC address, serial number, and slap an asset barcode onto the machine to know that it's the company's.

    As for your hardware solution. I believe a cisco VPN concentrator would do, else you could budget on a smaller scale for say a DLINK router that actually does VPN between routers and do it site to site instead of site to endpoint

    http://packetstorm.linuxsecurity.com its a cool site but the best part is the banner of the world at the top each blue dot is where someone is who is on the site... i just thought that was wicked cool any one know how they do it /??

    If you view the source of the page, it seems as though they have created each dot, and assigned a css class to it....

    The css page on http://packetstorm.linuxsecurity.com/images/p.css shows this:

    /* Asia */

.aspk1 { top: 75px; left: 225px; }

.aspk2 { top: 71px; left: 228px; }



/* Europe */

.eunl1 { top: 45px; left: 170px; }

.eunl2 { top: 45px; left: 165px; }

.eunl3 { top: 49px; left: 168px; }



.eugr1 { top: 50px; left: 173px; }



.eufr1 { top: 53px; left: 159px; }

.eufr2 { top: 55px; left: 163px; }



.euuk1 { top: 47px; left: 157px; }

.euuk2 { top: 43px; left: 154px; }



/* North America */

.nany1 { top: 62px; left: 88px; }



.natx1 { top: 70px; left: 63px; }

.natx2 { top: 66px; left: 60px; }

.natx3 { top: 66px; left: 66px; }

.trp { top: 64px; left: 66px; }



.nach1 { top: 58px; left: 74px; }



/* South America */

.sacl1 { top: 114px; left: 92px; }



.saar1 { top: 120px; left: 100px; }

    Which is basically the exact pixel positions, absolute to the page, the dots should exist. Hope this helps ya out!

    Why there are no torrents for episode 10

    We're gathering better statistics this episode. It's an experiment. The torrents will be back next ep. Thanks for understanding.
    oh, I see... well I guess someone else can make a torrent cant they? thus solving the server problem.

    uhh woops. Should have read this thread before i made a torrent and 8 people already downloaded off me :P

    I would click but uhhh... after the first one I really don't trust anything about "no pants day" or whatever.

    That's ok, the site I linked to doesn't have any flash or annoying music :P

    Just good old fashioned HTML and Images!

    Only one thing to do, go back to that shop and buy the guy's entire stock of "misc. parts". Then build an even more powerful server to track it down and end it. (make an off switch though).

    Oooh that could backfire - badly! I can't imagine that ending well.

    OT: Can anyone else just picture Alli screaming about how "EVILSERVER'S NOT NORMAL!!!" ?

    Perhaps if you create an even more evil server, Alli might come back to steal it's cousin, and you can lay a trap and brainwash her back and realise how evil the server really is!!! :P

    Wow, you guys are basically writing the show notes for me :)!

    Well in that case:

    1. For the question about processes in use you need to use a program called "Unlocker":

    http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

    The show says download 1.8.2 cept the website has 1.8.3 now available on it at the time of this post.

    2. The mobile/WAP version of gmail is over at http://m.gmail.com (if you hit this with a mobile phone web browser). Alternativly if you want the first 160 charaters of an SMS, head to: http://www.teleflip.com/teleflip/index.jsp for the format (which is cellphonenumberinUS@teleflip.com ) this is a Email to SMS gateway.

    3. Pandora development: http://3tunes.codingproject.com/

    Just a warning, it says on the site it's in Alpha still, so may not work the way you expect....

    4. The short answer NO to using an laptop lcd, due to the proprietory controller card, but if you wanted to try: http://www.earthlcd.com which actually redirects you to http://store.earthlcd.com

    I'm gonna skip a few and go straight to the Micro$oft Baseline Security Analyzer over on: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...s/mbsahome.mspx

    and Harrison talks about keeping up to date with news on http://www.securityfocus.com

    Anywhoo, that's all im going to post for tonight, cause i need some sleep. Might transpose some more show notes/links tomorrow!
