Domains: Don't buy if you don't use!

Posted 01-14-2010 at 04:22 PM by Web31337 (In The Middle Of Nowhere [edK's blog])

I am always wondering why buy all good domain names and keep them for yourself or move them onto parkings. Say, i bought 31337.org can i think someone will buy it? No.

Help prevent kernel and software cracking: reminder

Posted 01-13-2010 at 07:01 AM by Web31337 (In The Middle Of Nowhere [edK's blog])

I've made this post as a reminder, to link to it from forum.
Probably, if you were linked here, you had troubles when someone gained root at your system.

The problem I'm writing this post about is kernel/software cracking.
Many people had troubles with crackers who gained root at their servers or desktops. Some of users had all permissions and privileges set up correctly but still got kernel BOF'ed and rooted.
For instance, let us take most exploitable vulnerability,...

Wrong keyboard or why I hate to be not at home

Posted 01-07-2010 at 04:17 PM by Web31337 (In The Middle Of Nowhere [edK's blog])

We're having a hardcore repair of floor and walls at home now.
yesterday after i spent a day in a stinky flat(after we painted a floor) i decided to move to my friend's place(from where i'm VNCed now). I needed to work.

the problem is not only because my friend runs windows and i can't copy files to my server(i can only move them to my webserver so i fetch them from here) or do any other simple operation, but the wrong desktop, the wrong keyboard and mouse. it's not mine, i...

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year, my dear friends, LQ community!

Wish you have many roots, virtual and real as well)
And don't forget to run as root yourself! ;)
Then you will see no "permission denied" anymore, you will discover this world is free and there is nothing impossible!
Believe me, it is!
su FTW! :)
Have a great party and have a nice time in 2010!

Go, hackers, go!!!

I was kinda disappointed i can't properly install xfce 4.6 on debian lenny with aptitude. Also tried backports with issues like here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ys-4.4-775588/
I decided to go the proven (cloacms++) way of building from sources.
So, i fetched all(almost) files from http://mocha.xfce.org/archive/xfce-4.6.1/src/
