13. Install the latest version of iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download and connect your iPod.

 

Disable conflicting System Services and Startup Items (Click to hide)

 

Installed background processes can sometimes prevent the iPod Service from running. You might be able to resolve this by disabling some items with the System Configuration Utility in Windows XP. Find out how here.

If you have tried all the steps in this document, and the linked documents, and iPod is still not being recognized correctly by iTunes or the iPod Updater, then there is likely some other system issue on your computer. This may require you to repair or reinstall Windows. If you need assistance with this, contact whomever supports Windows on your computer. In most cases, this is the maker of the computer.

 

 

Deleting corrupted or incorrect registry keys (Click to hide)

 

Damaged registry keys may prevent Windows from recognizing a variety of USB storage devices including iPod. To troubleshoot this issue, refer to the Microsoft knowledge base article below:

They give our leaders information so they can make good decisions. And they take pride in their important jobs.

 

We have a lot of different jobs here. We have analysts, doctors, lawyers, scientists, geographers, and librarians, to name just a few.

Casek, is that the Babelfished version of Mainter's link?

 

Also, someone emailed me a link to the CIA kid's page last summer. Funny, but scary.

[bahleediddy]

i finally haxored a neighbor's wireless.well, it wasn't real haxoring or using any of the programs people recommended. it was someone's wireless that i could connect to but it would load any pages. i just fiddled around my network tools for mac(which i had been trying to do forever with no success), created a new location of some sorts, ran a dianostic assistance thing, and now i have free internets again. this is rad.

no, cached version of what you see on mainters link. they took it down for some odd reason

Look into KisMac-

 

http://kismac.de/

 

Just follow the redirect link.

 

They only offer binary packages, but you can probably do the job without too much effort. Probably makefile-make-install, unless it's a .pkg file. I'm assuming you have X11 installed.

 

KisMac is a stumbler application. It just looks for wifi signals within range. What you do with them is up to you. Casek would advise that you figure out a way to amplify your incoming signal, and I would agree. He can step in at this point.

 

If you want to crack WEP, there's a ton of tutorials on YouTube on how to do just that. WPA is harder, but possible.

kismet(mac) should do the job of cracking.

 

 

and yeah, amplify your signal. if you have an external antenna, you can use a wok.

search instructables.com

[Guest shai_hulud]

KisMac is a cracker too?

 

What does it do? IV capture, or brute force attacks?

 

I just heard about KisMac last week. I have a legit signal. No real need for it.

n Icelandic teenager tricked the White House into thinking he was Iceland's President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson.

 

Vifill Atlason, 16, called the general switchboard number claiming to be the Icelandic leader and asked to speak to President George W Bush.

 

He was passed around but says he got through to Mr Bush's private secretary and set up a phone meeting with him.

 

Along the way he says he was asked a series of questions about Mr Grimsson, which he answered using Wikipedia.

 

"It was like passing through checkpoints, but I had Wikipedia and a few other sites open, so it was not so difficult really," he told ABC News.

 

Vifill says that among the questions he was asked were Mr Grimsson's date of birth, parent's names, where he grew up and when he took office.

 

Police visit

 

Vifill says that Mr Bush's secretary booked him in for a phone meeting with the US president.

 

Explaining his actions, Vifill told Icelandic daily Morgunbladid that he had just wanted to have a chat with Mr Bush and invite him to Iceland.
