Dell Wireless into Promisc

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:00:30 +0000

I'm running CrunchBang on a Dell inspiron 1545 with the default wireless nic. It shows up as ethernet under linux. Running Wireshark, I can't get it to capture packets in promiscuous mode. How do I remedy this?
(I'll try BT4 later (or tomorrow) and post back with results)

RAR file password

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:26:19 +0000

Hi Everyone,

Great to be here and part of the forum.
Can someone help me or point me in the right direction please.

I have a RAR file that has a password on it.I need to remove the password.I have tried the regular programs on the internet but no luck.

Maybe someone can tell me if there are sites "payed sites" that i can pay someone to remove the password for me...Or someone here can do it for a price.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

High quality Servos - Whats good??

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 08:51:30 +0000

Im looking for advice on what would be a good choice for a very accurate servo for a laser project.

The idea is to capture video and analyse where the bugs are in the room and kill them.

I've already got the camera part of the project done and I know exactly what laser would do the job too....

But I need to learn a lil bit about servos. What ones are highly accurate and fast?

thanks for any help!

Filter 'n Replace incoming HTTP responses?

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 00:16:33 +0000

I am looking for a way to Filter n' Replace incoming HTTP responses.

I can variate Operating Systems so any tools or help is appreciated.

To be more precise, say a page is providing me with information from a requests and I wanting to edit the response that is returning from the request to the page before it reaches the browser.

I currently have the tool fiddler2 (Windows) which I recently found and find it very handy, unfortunately I do not see this feature.

Perhaps something such as what one would see from Ethercap filters on web requests is what I am looking for however on my own machine not through a MITM attack.

Anyone aware of such tools available that would not require me attempting a MITM on my own machine?

Thanks!

ONE LAST CHANCE TO SAVE THE HOTEL PENNSYLVANIA

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 14:01:12 +0000

Yes, this is it. There will be a public hearing next Monday, August 23rd at 9:30 am in New York City at 250 Broadway on the 16th floor. This is a meeting of the Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchise and it's the last one we know of where the issue of Vornado's proposed demolition of the Hotel Pennsylvania will be addressed. (The Hotel Pennsylvania is the home of our biannual HOPE conferences and is host to hundreds of thousands of travelers from around the world each year.)

Is there a cheap C++ program?

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:27:40 +0000

Hello BR,

I decided to jump into learning programming and decided to go with C++ , I understand this is a harder language compared to python or C#.

I purchased a book to start learning, but I was wondering what program I should buy to write C++ with. Is there a cheap version / nockoff version you would suggest? I really do not want to pirate anything.

Thanks for the help,
Lethargic

Translate a PDF

Thu, 05 Aug 2010 02:05:34 +0000

Are there any programs that can translate a PDF to English. Google has a cool feature to do it, but the pdf's I want to translate are too big for Google, as they have graphics and stuff.

If there is a way for me to translate just the text, but still keep it in the layout of the whole pdf file, it would save me the time from having to pull the text out, translate it, and then create an entirely new pdf with the new English text in place of the old text.

found unusual url, not formatted correctly

Thu, 05 Aug 2010 01:25:04 +0000

//safmugweb01/plnet/DetailText.cfm?PCN=10645481&ViewNumber=001&startrow=1

Notice there's no usual format to it, i.e. example.us, example.org, etc ? The . in the domain name is missing as well (there's seems to be no domain name either, at least in the correct format - like it's meant to be hidden).

It has http on the front of it, I just left it out so the entire url can be visible.

I tried several things to find where this goes to but got nada. I tried variations like using only what comes before the /Detail... , using only the part before /plnet, etc. Still nada.

I tried googling it, yahoo'ing it and still nada.

I have it pasted into OneNote (M$ program) and clicking it gets this message :

http://i38.tinypic.com/23tjprm.png

This url IS a valid one - I have a printout from it that's dated recently (along with the file that's listed there) and considering whose it is, they wouldn't kill the site it goes to (whatever site this is, which I don't know specifically, but I have a good idea plus I know WHO owns it).

Edit : whois.net pulls up nada as well. Probably partly because it has no .us type extension on the end of it. WEIRD.

You know what I believe has happened here. If someone wanted a hidden site, for whatever reason they need it for, what better way to hide it than to not use the proper http addressing format. Yep, I think that makes sense.

HERE'S a big list of interesting computer systems, some of which have a need for hiding part of their site - not that this page shows all that exist, no doubt. However, I don't know if this print out I have is from one of them.

An example of what's on the link I just gave (not the 1st one) is NCIC whose page is here :

Hi All,

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but what does everyone use to wipe clean their harddrives or laptops ?

Generic programming question

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:57:42 +0000

Well, this is a bit embarrassing but: I haven't done anything more than maintenance work on computers for the past four years but now need to get back into them. My plan is to go into physical chemistry for which computer programming (and computers in general)would be extremely beneficial. I need a language (or the smallest number of languages) to learn that would allow me to perform computational analysis, animations, etc. I have experience in multiple languages but nothing in depth. (due to my 4 year layoff).
Anyway, some animations I will need to be able to do (for research presentations and the like) can be found here

Computation example would be running a simulation of gas particles in a closed container and measure the frequency of collision. (and cal based math which I can use maple or something similar)

I was thinking C++ and java would be enough to cover my bases but would like others input and opinions.

Thanks

Rerouting traffic with Windows XP

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 07:23:24 +0000

So here's the problem: I want to route my traffic though bob, but both of our systems are XP and we're on the same network.

Gateway IP:  A.A.A.1/24
My IP:       A.A.A.10/24
Bobs IP:     A.A.A.11/24

Traffic from my IP is not routed onto the internet (except for traffic to TCP/21) and has to be sent via an HTTP proxy, so basically I want all my traffic to be transparently routed through Bob because traffic from his IP is sent straight on to the internet without second thought.

Both of our systems and the gateway are on the same subnet, and Bob and I only have 1 NIC each.

I only have Administrative shell access to Bobs system, so I've installed a SOCKS proxy but it's not enough since some applications don't allow you to specify a proxy (Steam), so I need something nice and low level like a static route to bounce traffic off Bob, or possibly a VPN.

So does anyone have any experience routing traffic on windows boxen?

Class B and C Nets...

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 16:00:09 +0000

Are all class b and c network assignments still up to date?

For example...

143.251.0.0 - 143.251.255.255 NYNEX NYNEX Telesector Resources Group US
146.13.0.0 - 146.13.255.255 NYNEX-2 Verizon Data Services LLC US
148.131.0.0 - 148.131.255.255 NYNEX-4 Verizon Data Services LLC US
148.132.0.0 - 148.132.255.255 NYNEX-5 NYNEX Telesector Resources Group US
159.40.0.0 - 159.40.255.255 NYNEXCORP NYNEX CORP. US
161.128.0.0 - 161.128.255.255 NYNEXSVCS Verizon Data Services LLC US
166.68.0.0 - 166.68.255.255 NYNEX-B Verizon Data Services LLC U

NYNEX is no longer in business.

Also, I scanned most of the above ranges. Not a single host up. What's the deal with Verizon keeping this assignment if it's no longer in use?
