The BBC purchased the botnet, the original owners / malware distributors probably don't care, they still have their money.

Well thanks for the suggestions, but I stuck with my original choice and it arrived today. I'll let everyone know how it all works out after toying with it for a while :3

I mix and match all the time and have yet to have any problems, and I can't see why there would ever be a problem...

MyBB. Based on vBulletin, but it's free. Also has some cool security features ^_^

Epic case, how much did it cost you?

I laughed. Really hard.

It's a lot better if you program your own botnet because you get to choose exactly what features it has, how it spreads, etc. plus you also get to deal with managing hundreds to thousands of simultaneous connections. And no, I'm not endorsing using botnets for malicious purposes in any way but they're a fun project to experience and learn about.

Imho, you shouldn't have had to call customer service at all and that is complete BS. You paid for the files, why should you have to contact Apple if you want to download them again?

Well I was wondering what was available for RFID reader/writers for under $100. I was looking at this but I'm not sure exactly if it has what I'm looking for. I'm not sure if the chipset on that supports raw hex (or whatever) outputs or it can only parse what it has specifications for, which would be a problem since I'm not sure exactly what kind of output the card I'm tinkering with has. Thanks for any advice. Also, sorry if this is in the wrong forum but I wasn't exactly sure where to put it.

Personally I'm seeding the torrent that has seasons 1-4 in .avi. Pretty sure it's tracked by TPB.

==, !=, etc are used to compare numbers in C. You're going to have to use strcmp in order to determine if the new character in the buffer is a newline.

I was gonna recommend Arch linux (basically the binary form of Gentoo), but I don't suppose that processor has i686 support does it?

I personally would have tried Gentoo, but you might not have wanted to deal with the compiling times on that processor?

Don't forget about the people who get payed to distribute botnet malware too ^_^

Not getting caught is pretty easy too in all honesty.

That was a really nice idea actually :3 Personally though I wouldn't be running Windows, uses too much resources.

Yup, what they did is technically illegal, although I doubt they're going to get sued since they didn't do anything malicious with it at all. Botnets are a lot easier to create and maintain than you would think :3

I have BT3 on mine along with a suite of AVs, Firewalls, etc. that I can use to fix peoples' computers.

I'm a lazy coder :3 And thanks for the tip, didn't know about escapeshellcmd().

And don't use data while roaming ^_^

You'd have to write a custom script to parse the pcap file for facebook chats.

Yeah... as long as you have a jailbroken iPhone you can tether, this is nothing new...

There's always the GIMP even though I really hate it.

Since you asked, threw this example on filtering together real quick... <?php // Basic system(); with basic filtering (lol) extract($_POST); echo('<h1>system blah</h1><br><br>'); if ($submit != "gogo") { echo('<form action="" method="POST"><input type="text" name="system" value=""><br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="gogo"></form>'); } else { if (strpos($system, ";") === false && strpos($system, "|") === false && strpos($system, "&") === false) { $output = system("$system"); echo($output); } else { echo("I see what you did there..."); } } ?> Just makes sure that there aren't any characters in there that would allow someone to execute commands that you don't want them to... I might've missed some way they could sneak something in there though so don't completely rely on me.
