  1. Technically, Mac OS X is based on the FreeBSD core, with OS X 10.3 based on FreeBSD 5.x. It is, however, extremely customized beyond the base BSD code. The key benefit with Mac OS X is the Aqua GUI that allows OS X to operate like the original Mac OS operating system but still have all the benefits and flexibility of an efficient BSD kernel. You could try installing Free BSD as that would function better.


  2. Having just spent the last few hours having fun with security camera's in a Zoo, School, CCTV Control Centre, Laundry and a number of other places I thought I'd share this with you all.

     

    Go to Google and type the following strings into the search function:

     

    inurl:"view/index.shtml"

    inurl:"ViewerFrame?Mode="

    inurl:"MultiCameraFrame?Mode="

     

    e.g. SEARCH: inurl:"MultiCameraFrame?Mode="

     

    Basically Google finds the web based camera control panel for certain network security camera's. You can move the camera's about and zoom in and out.

     

    Have fun :D

     

    P.S Please DO NOT paste URL's of Camera's you have found in this thread. In doing so you are just proving yourself in being a complete moron.

    Thus being impossible as only traffic encryped in the required manor will be able to communicate with the desired computer.

     

    why be a sitting duck packet sniffing in a company when you can socially engineer a password onto the system and then work your way through some exploits to get overall access of the system?

     

    What do you mean by this? Phone them up and ask for the passwords? What's it got to do with packet sniffing? You simply cannot gain "overall" access to the system.

     

     

    as I said, where there's a will, theres a way... theres always a way... things like distributed computing have proven that even large encryption keys can be cracked eventually with enough power... and theres more and more faster CPU's every day... how long has 128bit SSL encryptiong been the standard? too long is my recconing

     

    One day there may be, but for now it's rock solid.


  4. When the info travels from A to B it is expected to get there in a pre calculated time... any form of tapping the line will have an effect on the speed the data gets send. My guess is they will have a system in place which detects any loss of speed, even if we're talking ms... and will shut down the data stream or encrypt the code again during transmission.

     

    If the above is possible then the only way to access the data is either at the root or the receiver... which is impossible unless you're physically on the inside and behind the terminal.


  5. Taken from the Guardian Unlimited:

     

    Anyone who sends an email or bids on eBay with a niggling fear about privacy may soon be able to relax. Programmers have made a major breakthrough in their quest for a totally secure computer network by turning to Star Trek-style physics that would bamboozle the sharpest hacker.

     

    Quantum cryptography is the ultimate example of small-is-beautiful technology: information is encoded at the subatomic level on individual photons, the smallest known units of light. They can then be sent on optical fibre networks from one computer to another. To snoop on such messages undetected, a hacker would have to defy the laws of quantum mechanics.

     

    'Any attempt by the hacker to read the message causes errors that show up. This results from a proven law of nature,' said Dr Andrew Shields, leader of Toshiba Research Europe's quantum information group.

     

    Previous experiments with quantum cryptography foundered because photons are so sensitive to fluctuations in the hardware that the tiniest change in temperature or movement of the fibre wrecked the process.

     

    But Toshiba Research Europe in Cambridge has devised a system that prevents fluctuations and keeps light particles flowing precisely. A recent trial sent information automatically and uninterruptedly for nearly a week.

     

    Toshiba predicts the technology will become commercial within three years, and is looking to begin further trials with financial organisations. Shields said: 'It means quantum cryptography can be used by anyone. The first users are likely to be in the financial and public service sectors. It might take a while before it is used by your home PC.'

     

    Quantum cryptography encodes each photon to represent a standard bit, 0 or 1, and these in combination form a secret key. In today's typical optical communication system, each bit is carried by a million photons, and an eavesdropper could split off some photons and determine the information they were carrying without being detected. But with the quantum technique the theft of a single photon is immediately apparent to the sender and receiver of the message.

  6. And apparently The Register was to blame, and apparently it was the Movie business that caused its demise.

     

    The list is endless.

     

    A number of torrent sites have gone down in the past few months, there are rumours of them being set up.
