It's definitely interesting concept, but as soon as twitter was notified, they could take the c&c center down, which would be a huge problem for anyone running a botnet. Maybe if it was distributed across multiple accounts it would be better, but it could still be shut down very quickly. Oh well, still a fun concept and can be used for good purposes too, not necessarily running a malicious sort of botnet.

@CrashOverride: Sorry, I felt this necessary. And if you're not trollin... uh... please die.

Well, here's my super long list... Cable Modem - Rented From Comcast (not sure how much parents pay for it per month) RangeMax Router - $60 My PC (custom build) - $650 Mom'S PC (again custom) - $400 PS3 - $400 Total: $1510.

Just curious, how much has everyone spent on the networking equipment in their house? Might be a good little bit of information to throw in along with your diagram andor pictures.

Very possible, a guy at Pwn2Own this year had an iPhone 0day but wasn't willing to part with it for $10k so it might be getting sold somewhere else ;p

This is complete BS, the US government is allowed to violate peoples' privacy in order to track down an accused person or persons? That is complete and utter nonsense, I don't see how courts can allow this at all.

Imho, you should go with Arch and then install the eee-kernel. It cuts out the crap you don't need in the kernel for much faster performance but at the same time it makes sure that you have the appropriate drivers for everything, including your wifi. Again, this is just my opinion; if you chose to do this, be sure to have the begginers guide for Arch handy because you'll probably get stuck somewhere between installing it and getting your WM up and runnning.

Hardstyle & Happy Hardcore are absolutely amazing (plus some occasional speedcore).

I'm nowhere near being in the IT section of anything, but I have a feeling a lot of companies will be upgrading to Win7 since XP is officially off the support list. Plus, Win7 doesn't actually run that bad on older hardware as long as you have a decent GPU or turn Aero off.

Well, I'm looking to buy my first laptop, and I was wondering if any of you had recommendations... here are my requirements: 2.0ghz C2D or faster (no pentium dual core) 14.1" or 14.0" Screen (no bigger, no smaller) 802.11 G -and- N internal (chipset needs linux support) Bluetooth with EDR (linux support would be awesome here but it's not necessary) My budget is sub-$800, but sub-$700 would be even better. I would also really like to avoid Compaq even though I know HP bought them. Thanks~

I looked it up, while playing GoW the 360 used an average of 185.1W with the peak at 186.5 and the minimum at 176.54.

Bwahahaha. The HORROR of making a GUI in VB.

The 360 uses a huge amount of power, you'd have to have a huge battery pack to get it to even last for 30min.

If you have a jailbroken iPhone / iTouch you could theoretically change the firmware to incorporate a modified truecrypt system. It would probably really slow it down though since they don't have a lot of power.

This is very possible, and I'd actually be suprised if it hasn't already been done. And just for future reference, PoC means Proof of Concept, which this thread is very much lacking in.

Actually I'd go with Chinese personally... they're rather good with their low level stuff.

I agree, I always do -PN. Hell, McAffee firewall even blocks responding to ICMP request and it's terrible.

This. Or if you're bored you can reverse the hell out of it and fix it that way ^-^

Just tried it, not nearly as nice as the linux version but it's still pretty functional.

In all honesty, .NET sucks for this kind of stuff.

Well there are two parts to making a crypter. The first part is meshing your target file(s) with the stub that you have coded. Usually the stub will locate the OEP in the target program(s) and append this this along with the actual exe to the stub, and then encrypt the target. Then, when the program is run, the stub does anti-debug and anti-vm checks, decrypts the target program, and then uses the OEP that it stored along with CreateThread() to start the target going. However, if you're more advanced (and I mean a lot more) you can create a special handler that only decrypts the target in RAM as each piece of memory is needed, and then encrypt it again when it's not in use, but this is much more difficult to code and rarer to see.
