Sky Analogue...did anyone ever get to use Season/Benedex/Whatever? And for you users of Sky Digital, do you notice that every so often, your box dials up the telephone and sends something? I don't know why no one has grabbed the data that is sent out and analysed it, but Im sure that Sky must be harvesting the viewing habbits of every Sky Digital user. Think about it; you pay Sky to watch TV, Sky sells your viewing habbits to whoever can pay, Sky makes you pay for movies and Sky makes you watch adverts as well. Now THAT is a business! It would be great to get a crack for Sky Digital; then everybody can watch all the encrypted Asian channels; they rule. And even if you dont move your dish, you can still watch all of the German TV channels; they have the most filthy, far out, and WiErD programmes that I have ever seen on TV. One of the best is the David Letterman clone, that is a 100% copy Daves show, including the set, the titles the band, everything. Believe it or not, Irdial-Discs was on one of the regularly scheduled sex "documentary" shows which was doing a piece on Telephone Cards. This was along with an artist who used piss mixed with powderd colors as medium of choice. Gotta get my compass out.... CocaKarma has gone from 300 visitors a day to 600 per hour.

poof!
like I said "momentum"; someone just emailed me this: http://www.miaminewtimes.com/issues/2001-02-08/kulchur.html
I had another, longer go on OSX last weekend, and twigged that OSX comes with tsch as the default shell! Why oh why would they DO THAT??! Thankfully you can get bash for darwin easily....learning another shell is just not in my plan at the moment. Have you seen the new spellchecker that Blogger has? How cool is that??! Mikkel; Thanks a Million for that heads up; we are in discussions about making a programme for The Discovery Channel about Numbers Stations....we call it "momentum"...

it's a good thing to make money just not at the expense of others. getting money b(u)y cheating isn't a healthy thing, right? glad for your job though and i wish you a lot of success. ps. i'm much more calmed down now. hope that outburst, albeit true, wasn't a bit overblown for this space we share here at blogdial.

i think it was alex tea who said post hard and post often right? well: letter to paypal paypal, due to your fucking bullshit policy of holding money before it is actually charged to me i am dropping my paypal account and will let absolutely everyone i know how you handle your business. i understand that you do this; and DO NOT TRY TO PASS IT OFF AS A POLICY OF MY BANK BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST AS DISTURBED AS I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1. put a hold for the amount which i am trying to send. 2. charge, SEPERATE FROM THE HOLD(you fucking assholes!!!) the amount. this results in double the money being held up in my account for 4 to 5 days. and yes, scumbags, i have read this on your site just now but you sure as fuck HIDE IT IN THE FINE PRINT!!!!! FUCK YOU!!!! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO PLAY WITH MONEY THAT IS LEGALLY NOT YOURS. IF I HAD THE TIME I WOULD FUCKING SUE YOU!!!!!! sincerely _______________________________

i wanted to have a go back. but i don't know how.. You need some Sploits You need to get a firewall, for sure. Its a jungle out there. Aparently, it only takes 15 minutes for a new server to get scanned as soon as its put on the net. As for .htaccess, have you tried Comanche? also, there is a java apache configuration tool...cant find the URL :[
leave them fun stuff on ftp 21. that should piss them off. please eat...it's good for you.
cira.ca is completely pathetic. if someone owns a third level domain say xyz.on.ca and you register the unowned xyz.ca you must get permission from the third level domain owner. now we know dns here right??? there is no fucking conflict here in anyway shape or form. basically they are registering WORD's not DOMAIN NAMESPACES!!!! FUCK THEM THE NAZI FACIST SCUMBAGS!! CIRA.CA GO FUCKING DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, I was playing around with the tools in Acrobat 5, and a PDF entitled "a digital video primer" published by Adobe. I found that this file is LOCKED and ENCRYPTED, so that you cannot copy text, cannot extract pictures, cannot add notes or edit the document in any way. Red rag to a bull. From previous experience, I knew that you can print a restricted PDF to file and then distill it into a new PDF, preserving the file intact, but stripping all of the security. I tried this attack first, with Distiller 3, Distiller 4 Distiller 5 and the "Distiller", "PDFwrite" that comes with Ghostscript. All of them failed with the error that the file was encrypted, and that distilling an encrypted .ps file from a secure PDF was "not allowed". The Adobe Distillers go throughout the entire process of Distilling the file, including counting the pages as they are processed. It is only at the end that you get the following warning:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
using PDFwrite, the same thing happened when trying to distill a .ps file created by Acrobat 5 printing to file.; everything was processed as if the PDF was going to be written, and then only at the end you get a similarly formatted error log. I suspect that somewhere there is a cleartext PDF in a /temp directory that could be intercepted...hmmmmm The next possible attack was opening the PDF file in Illustrator 9; it failed, asking for a password to open the file. Opening in Photoshop 6.1 also failed. Printing the file "to file" with a linotronic 330 printer driver produced a .ps file which refused to distill on all distillers with the same security warning. The .ps file could however be opened and viewed in Ghostscript. Saving the file to EPS in Ghostscript produced an EPS that displayed a single blank page in Illustrator 9 and Photoshop 6.1. Opening the original file in GSview the front end for Ghostscript, produced an error, since the file was encrypted; there is a patch that needs to be installed so that you can use GSview/Ghostscript to open encrypted PDFs. The patch worked, and the encrypted file opened. I was then able to export the encrypted file to a PDF. This stripped all of the security from the PDF, allowing full access to the complete contents of the file, and full editing functionality. The stripped file is identical to the original file in every way, save that the encryption has been defeated. No need to brute force passwords, no need to print and re-capture (capturing inside Acrobat Capture was also a disallowed function btw). "Trying to secure bits is like trying to make water not wet". This is true, and it is true of the PDF format. Because it is designed for printing there will always be a point in the document stream where you can capture the raw data, and then reconstruct the exact document, minus the security. This is quite different to the "encrypted channel to speakers / monitor" systems that are being designed now, because PDFs need to be printable to paper, which is always a clear text end product, rendering all attempts to "secure" PDFs moot. Adobe will have to add security into Postscript itself, so that the attacker has to chase the cleartext right down to the laser in the printer. This will make it hard, but not impossible, to intercept cleartext in the printing chain. Amazingly, Governments have released sensitive documents to the public, with postscript rendered black rectangle elements to obscure the names of ther informers / collaborators /spies. Anyone can strip the security from these files, remove the rectangles and read the information. This has already happened. Whats interesting is that Adobe is still putting these options into Acrobat, as if they will be any good at stoping people from editing / viewing hidden elements in PDFs. Its probably enough to stop the ordinary user, but when sensitive or valuable information normally ends up being replicated, its a sure thing that any sensitive info passed around in PDFs will be open to widespread reading thanks to these simple strip attacks. Maybe Adobe can call its new version of Postscript "Postcrypt"!
The mantra is, that if you have a static IP and a fat pipe, you need to get your boxen behind a firewall. ummmm let me guess, Effnet IRC? Effnet is a VERY agressive place, so watch out....ive had my machine (windoze) remotely rebootted for me [several times] whilst chatting on IRC.... you might want to pull everythnig through a proxy server, or even better, do it all through Freedom being fast is fun!
tcp/ip sucks eggs!!!!!!!!!!! (for fun with tcp/ip go and get a scanner. but don't do a bank or the police et al. Know the Facts. 1.Rabbits are not "low-maintenance" pets, and are a poor choice as a pet for children. 2.They have a lifespan of 10 years and require as much work as a dog or cat. 3.Your home must be bunny-proofed, or Thumper will chew electrical cords and furniture. SPARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4. Rabbits must be spayed or neutered or they will mark your house with feces/poopie and urine. 5. They should live indoors, as members of the family. To consign these sensitive, intelligent, social animals to life in a hutch is to miss the joy of sharing your life with a rabbit. yeah, sucka. Clearly, rabbits aren't for everyone.
