Dead power supply by wiredog (2.00 / 0) #1 Wed Dec 19, 2007 at 11:35:54 AM EST
That's when I went to a Mac.

Why not use the Sun box as a temporary firewall?  It's not like the script kiddies are going to be looking to exploit one of those anyway.

The U60 isn't the most energy efficient box I'm guessing, I'd rather not leave her running all the time. Plus she doesn't have the proper serial connection so I'd have to get some conversion cable, which, come to think of it I may already have.

Anyways, I've still got an old Sun Classic LX which would be a better option (less power and I don't care if I burn it up) if I can figure out how to make it connect to the internet. Hmmm, I may give that a try, that might be interesting to fiddle about with.

IP proxy spoofing. by hulver (2.00 / 0) #3 Wed Dec 19, 2007 at 11:42:39 AM EST
Depends what you're trying to do.

You'd need some sort of other channel to the proxy server to tell it where you're trying to get to, unless you have some sort of packet filter on your machine to wrap up your outgoing packets with the eventual destination.

I was thinking the IP Proxy spoofer would do the wrapping. Like so:

Secret box 210.210.10.0 -> IP Proxy Spoofer (bogus IP)210.230.10.0 -> Final destination.

The problem there (in my not very well thought out mind) is that the final destination is going to send it's packets back to the bogus IP of 210.230.10.0 which won't be the actual adr of the IP proxy spoofer. Is there a way to make a box think it's sending to one IP adr while actually sending to another?

No Jamie Lynn Spears content? by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #4 Wed Dec 19, 2007 at 11:43:52 AM EST
Bob, has the pizza place around the corner started adding saltpeter as a topping?




Good grief by Bob Abooey (2.00 / 0) #5 Wed Dec 19, 2007 at 11:49:40 AM EST
Who even knew Britney had a sister? Let alone a 16 year old fluzzy sister who is going around doinking anything with a weener!

Boy - that Spears family - what a bunch of funsters!

As I can tell you from my experience driving an 87 HondaEscort, the clutch master cylinder is prone to failure.  Best of luck.  It is not a particularly major repair.



Ah by Bob Abooey (2.00 / 0) #8 Wed Dec 19, 2007 at 12:06:19 PM EST
When it fails does it completely blow out or does it start to gradually spring leaks?

Do you know where the bugger is located? Is it something I can get to and check the fluid sans special tools?

I don't know if you could get to it yourself by Phil the Canuck (2.00 / 0) #10 Wed Dec 19, 2007 at 01:39:20 PM EST
As for mine, it gave me a couple of days of rough shifting before it was empty.

Aye by Bob Abooey (2.00 / 0) #13 Wed Dec 19, 2007 at 02:14:09 PM EST
I had two days of rough "barely" shifting before I was able to get it into the shop - I didn't ask him how low it was on fluid.

Ah well, as long as I get a days notice I can drop it off at the mechanics to get it replaced.

Allah by sasquatchan (2.00 / 0) #9 Wed Dec 19, 2007 at 01:28:45 PM EST
would tell you douching is haram, I'm sure.

The point of a spoofing proxy is to NOT get your data back -- untraceable. So it's good for floods etc.

If you want onion routing, that's a different story, and there's several packages to sign on with that already do that. (google it yourself).



Oh hai by Breaker (2.00 / 0) #11 Wed Dec 19, 2007 at 02:04:30 PM EST
I'm in ur Windoze boxx, pwning ur datas.

What version of windows exactly?  Xp etc comes with a firewall, if you have w2k then get ZoneAlarm free edition. 

Also Mozilla is less vulnerable to malicious websites than IE, should you be looking at dodgy goatporn sites or somesuch.




Aye - it's XP by Bob Abooey (2.00 / 0) #12 Wed Dec 19, 2007 at 02:11:57 PM EST
I've got some firewall software on it, but I don't trust it at all. IMO the only secure Windows box is one that's not directly connected to the Intarwebs. In fact the only way to keep a Windows box running properly is to keep it off the net and don't install any software on it. QED.

Aye - I've been a Netscape Phoenix Firefox user since it first came out in the 70's.

Just do what Breaker said, dammit. by Horatio Hellpop (2.00 / 0) #14 Wed Dec 19, 2007 at 04:16:21 PM EST
Zone Alarm, once you've set the appropriate permissions, is the way to go on a Winders box.

She'll be right then by Breaker (2.00 / 0) #15 Fri Dec 21, 2007 at 07:13:54 AM EST
Then again, my connection is through a hub which also has a firewall on it; I can't break in so I regard myself as reasonably safe.  Ain't worth the hassle for some cracker to try and break in if there's an easier target along the road...

Clutch Master Cylinder by Bevets Makes Baby Jesus Cry (2.00 / 0) #16 Wed Dec 26, 2007 at 06:32:38 PM EST
The clutch master cylinder wore out in one of my cars, too. I eventually bought a rebuild kit ($15 worth of washers, gaskets, and seals) and fixed it myself in a couple of hours. I'm sure a pro could do it in 20 minutes or so.
