sarcasm Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 this works... but like a place where u can sign up (or make) an ip address that's permanent, so i can connect through rdc even though im not in my network...? like instead of connecing to my computer name or 192.168.1.etc..., the ip would be say something like hello.ipservice.com or some shit?

Mainter Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 ok so you want to make your windows machine to have a static IP number so when you logon to the Apple it will always keep the same number is this all correct? the way you are putting it is that "you want to make an IP address" which you can not do unless you are running a private network you will always get an address from your ISP (internet service provider) these are public IP addresses There are three IP network addresses reserved for private networks. The addresses are 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16. They can be used by anyone setting up internal IP networks, such as a lab or home LAN behind a NAT or proxy server or a router. It is always safe to use these because routers on the Internet will never forward packets coming from these addresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainter Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Remove the Sony Rootkit for good! Lavasoft is pleased to launch a new Project ECO Tool, the ARIES Rootkit Remover, to get rid of the rootkit developed by First4Internet used by Sony BMG to hide their DRM (Digital Rights Management) software. http://updates.ls-servers.com/AriesRemoverInst.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainter Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 During autumn 2005, Sony included rootkit-style content-protection software on approximately 4.7 million CDs of over 50 artists worldwide exposing consumer PCs to security holes. The XCP rootkit, developed by First4Internet, was inadvertently placed on unsuspecting systems and networks to hide Sony BMG’s DRM protection software. According to Sony, about six million CDs currently have this software on December 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainter Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 come on man what the hell is up with this Symantec Found Using Rootkit Feature By Nate Mook, BetaNews January 11, 2006, 8:30 PM Symantec is cleaning up a feature in Norton SystemWorks that uses a rootkit-like technique to hide a system folder from Windows. The technology works similar to Sony BMG's controversial rootkit DRM in the way it masks files and makes them invisible to the operating system. The Norton Protected Recycle Bin feature adds a directory called NProtect, which stores temporary copies of files that users delete. The idea was to supplement the standard Windows Recycle Bin and enable users to recover files they removed accidentally. However, hiding a directory from Windows can open the door to vulnerabilities, as the Sony DRM rootkit debacle exposed. Malware authors were able to write viruses and worms that hid in the cloaked directory, effectively preventing scanning software from discovering their existence on a PC. Symantec notes that on-demand scanners, including Norton AntiVirus, would discover the malware when it is loaded it memory. Still, the company isn't taking any chances after Sony's PR disaster and has issued an update to make the NProtect directory visible in the Recycle Bin. "The NProtect directory will continue to function as it always has, and users will continue to have the ability to enable or disable the feature through the Norton Protected Recycle Bin user interface," the company said in a security advisory. Users of Norton SystemWorks can download the patch now through LiveUpdate. "Symantec is not aware of any attempts by hackers to conceal malicious code in the NProtect folder. This update is provided proactively to eliminate the possibility of that type of activity." The rootkit-like activity was discovered by Mark Russinovich of Sysinternals, who first released details on the Sony XCP software. Symantec also thanked the F-Secure Blacklight team for their assistance in resolving the potential problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intensive courses on the Mac OS X and Linux operating systems, as well as iPods, were just a few of the offerings at a recent cyber-security conference sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense. Network administrators and cyber-investigators say they are increasingly being called on to investigate compromises of non-Windows operating systems and to analyze portable devices such as iPods, according to interviews with attendees by eWEEK.

Mainter Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 post # 600 # Resolution: LCDs operate best at their native resolution--which is typically 1024 by 768 for 15-inchers, and 1280 by 1024 for 17-inchers. The higher the resolution, the more data the screen can display at once. However, icons and text can look small if a screen's native resolution is unusually high for its size. # Brightness: For multimedia images in a well-lit room, brighter screens are better--say, 300 to 400 cd/m2 (a measure of luminance; see "Lab Notes: What About Brightness?") compared with the 200 cd/m2 (or so) of most mainstream LCDs. But as PC World's tests also called vendor brightness ratings into question, try to test brightness by looking at a blank white page in a word processor set to fill the page. # Viewing angle: If you aren't always looking at your monitor head-on, or if you want several people to see the display simultaneously, you'll want to check out the viewing angle. But here, again, don't trust the specs: Move horizontally and vertically to check for subtle color shifts and loss of contrast. # Response time: This is the time it takes to turn a pixel on or off, or to change its color. If you plan to use your LCD monitor to watch movies or play games, faster times are definitely better; don't settle for a response time of more than 16 milliseconds. However, there's a trade-off: Motion flicker increases on fast-responding LCDs. # Interface: Most mainstream LCDs have only analog inputs, but for a premium you can find some that also offer a port for digital input, which generally should produce sharper images without requiring adjustment. But using that port also requires a graphics card with a digital-out port and an appropriate cable, and DisplaySearch's Young says most people are happy with analog.

swif1 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Question: When I rip CDs onto my computer, it also rips a small .jpeg image of the album cover and a few other things. When I go into Windows Explorer to view the folder, all I see are the MP3s. For example, when I highlight the folder and click on Properties, it says the folder contains 17 files, but I only see 12 files! The only time I can see the images is when I view the folder as a thumbnail. I tried going into Control Panel to show the hidden files but it doesn't do anything. On a side note, I can see the files when I browse through my shared folders on Soulseek. What the fuck is going on? This shit pisses me off. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest im not witty Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 ok. someone who is nerdier than me PLEASE HELP> ive been doing alot of online banking and stuff and i got sketched about it. so i tried to upgrade my spyware virus protection shit. previously i was just running ad aware and whatever free virus thing i could get. so i downloaded spysweeper from download.com. fully intending to subscribe to the pay service. but they give you one free scan. i tried this scan and when it gets to a certain point in the scan past halfway. my whole computer just shuts off and restarts. this happens everytime. so i downloaded spyware doctor and the same thing happens, right at about 90% when its identified all my tracking cookie spyware and its scanning my c:windows/system32/blahblah. the whole computer just takes a big shit and dies. so i opened in safe mode and ran these programs and when it got to the same point it just killed the spysweeper or spyware doctor without turning the computer off. im assuming theres some malware on my comp that doesnt want to be scanned and its defense is to shut the fucker off anytime its about to be identified. since this keeps it forever anonymous and hidden, how do i find and kill the fucker. FYI adaware runs perfectly without a hitch and so does spybot. they just say i have the usual porn type tracking cookies, nothing crazy. but something is obviously wrong. any suggestions?
