What I have learned from C&T. Go to post 101787 C&T Tech-Talk Tue Jun 03, 2008 5:20 am
I recommend using This. as a badass wall for one screen at least.

Second could be a launch photo or detonation perhaps?

Depending on your router, you should have just set it up to redirect all DNS requests from that MAC address to some shock site. Denial of service is less evil than permanent mental scarring.

MKV and OGM? Go to post 5 Computers & Technology Sun Jun 01, 2008 5:34 pm
VLC is a very robust media player. It will eat just about any format you throw at it.

Installing codec packs is a bit of a crapshoot, I recommend staying away from it.

Wait until some smartass figures out how to compromise the machines used for the downloads. Hello malware vector.

CGI effects Go to post 3 C&T Tech-Talk Sun Jun 01, 2008 5:09 am
Lightwave, Maya, 3D Studio Max, and Blender are the big four for 3D graphics.

The budget is easily in the tens or hundreds of thousands for a mid-size production. Millions for a big-budget film.

I'm debating on going into Computer Forensics Go to post 9 C&T Tech-Talk Sun Jun 01, 2008 4:58 am

If you're going to do any computer security field (including forensics) you better be prepared to get security clearance. Having at least Secret clearance seems to be a prerequisite for almost any job in the computer security field, not to mention most of the jobs for security professionals are in the public sector. A good way to get in the door is to do a government internship for a year or work for a government contractor that will pay for your clearance. Once you have your clearance and a bit of experience you can climb the ladder to higher paying jobs.

Computer security is a pretty high paying field and one that is difficult to out-source (so you can expect job security/stability).


What the f**k are you smoking? Government clearance is only an issue in government jobs, and only in situations where you will be handling sensitive data. Sometimes not even then. Case in point, my local county office does not require IT personnel to have any sort of clearance beyond the ability to pass a background check, and lack of a felony record.

[Sonic Offline], ignore Sitwon, he has no clue what he is talking about.

Digital Forensics is usually a consulting job, and thus charged hourly. There are salaried positions available, mostly with law enforcement agencies. I do not know the salaried rate however.

For more information on Digital Forensics, I would recommend the following professional organization sites:

The High Technology Crime Investigation Association
The International Association of Computer Investigative Specialists
The Digital Forensics Association

As well as the resources and certifications available through SANS.

GCFA
SANS Reading Room: Forensics Whitepapers

Edit: A few last thoughts.

Digital Forensics is a grueling field, as you have to not only be technically proficient in data retrieval, but incredibly thorough at documenting your work to exacting legal standards, and able to hold up in court as an expert witness. In addition, you need to be able to come up with creative ways to analyze and retrieve data from the system under investigation, and defeat any anti-forensics measures encountered.

How would I do this and what is it called? Go to post 3 Computers & Technology Mon Apr 14, 2008 7:15 pm
The term you are looking for is 'image map'

You can find tutorials to both client-side and server-side image maps via Google.

Enjoy.

18 year old self taught hacker admits to his crimes Go to post 21 C&T Tech-Talk Mon Apr 14, 2008 5:27 pm

I've learned many things by myself, HTML, and some programming, and chess.

Ophichius wishes me to administer a base test. Determine the output of the following


section .text ;section declaration

;we must export the entry point to the ELF linker or
global _start ;loader. They conventionally recognize _start as their
;entry point. Use ld -e foo to override the default.

_start:

;

mov edx,len ;
mov ecx,msg ;Fun with msg
mov ebx,1 ;
mov eax,4 ;Moving to the Winstons
int 0x80 ;

;and exit

mov ebx,0 ;
mov eax,1 ;
int 0x80 ;

section .data ;

msg db "int",0xa ;
len equ $ - msg ;Display Hello World


To be fair, I never said I wanted Necros to administer the test. Just said it would be interesting to see what happened.

So this creeps me right the f**k out.

Give it a couple glowing red eyes and a mounted machine gun, and I am fairly sure it would go from nightmare fuel to high-octane nightmare fuel.

That being said, still totally badass. (Aside from the engine noise.)
