Death by Dynamically linked libraries. The binary file was compiled with the dependency of one or more shared libraries. The libraries needed by the application you’re trying to execute are not included in the binary itself, they have to reside on your system.

I can see a use of this type of attack for getting around captchas. If I host a web page that gives you access to download free mp3s, and all you have to do is complete a captcha to get it, what if I get that captcha from another site? I mean, when you load my page, I load the site I want to attack and show you their captcha instead?! That would basically make you my captcha-cracking conscript!

The default out-of-the-box installation should delete any additional anonymous users after installation and disallow remote logins completely, but it doesn’t. At least all you have to do is run the mysql_secure_installation script to do so.

Apache fails to start with Unknown DAV provider: svn? when you try to start the Apache service. Install the mod_authz_svn.so and mod_dav_svn.so modules and specify the LoadModule lines in your configuration.

The flexible and breathable glass coating is approximately 100 nanometers thick so it’s invisible to the naked eye. It’s environmentally friendly and food safe. When coated, all surfaces become easy to clean using only water. The coatings form and bond due to quantum forces. Our research informs us that in all probability, we offer the most versatile coating in the world.

The beta is out right now. You’re stuck with one game type and one map right now, but it’s a big map and, wait for it, the server browser is included. There are hundreds of servers up right now from all over the world. BFBC2 is, without a doubt, 10x better than Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer. When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine architecture on a different machine architecture. This is different than VMware, VirtualBox, or Hyper-V where you’re running different operating systems on the same architecture.

Comcast will continue to share what we learn with the Internet community, particularly with the IETF, for the benefit of other users of the Internet. What you didn’t notice in that statement was the font size 0.0001 where they added some disclaimers about their definitions of community, share, and benefit.

First you’ll narrow the possible combinations from 64,000 down to 100. But you don’t have to try each of those 100 combos. There’s a simple task you go through to figure out the actual combination in a matter of minutes. Or just make a shim out of a coke can and pick it in 2 seconds. Now that you know a simple combo padlock is basically just a deterrent, you shouldn’t ever use one to lock up anything of real value.

I use the little green laptop on recreational travel because the wifi signal strength is much better than your average laptop and it’s been less likely to get stolen since most people look at it and think it’s a toy. Hopefully they’ll release the next version of the laptop soon so i’ll have one to play with again! So long XO.
