    Checkout WireShark. I never played with it much, but you can do sniffing with that. I dunno about the user friendliness, but I'm sure there's a trivial way to make it legible.

      For a first violation that does not result in injury, a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000), or by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment.

      check out section 502. You can look below the legal definitions of "access" and "data" an that garbage. Basically if you access a computer system and don't do damage, you aren't looking at more than a $5000 and a year in Jail. Probably for a first time offense, you won't do time. But I'm not a lawyer so take it for what it is.


      If you're going to be doing Pen-testing I suggest spoofing your mac address and using a live cd so you don't log into your google account or something stupid like that or so I hear.

              Yah it's all set up right, I don't know why it doesn't show up on the leaderboards though



              Hey I am trying to install rtorrent on my fedora partition and i keep getting an error, I didn't have this trouble on my other machine and the fixes on google don't work either, does anyone know what his error means:

              Code:
              Could not lock session directory: "/home/samizdat/Downloads/torrents/rtorrent_sessions/", No such file or directory
              I do a su -c 'yum install rtorrent', it does it's thing, i then type rtorrent and it goes straight to this error. On google it says to remove a lock file from .rtorrent.sessions but there is no directory by that name. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong as I havn't touched anything. Has anyone ever seen this before?

                I don't know. Are you doing a visual check for that directory(.rtorrent.sessions)? If so, you have to show hidden files. File names that start with a "." are hidden. You may already know that, but I figured I'd point it out.

                  Yah visual check using file manager doesn't show anything, even when I ctrl+k to show hidden files it shows nothing. I'm giving up, I don't need it on this partition anyway but Google seems to offer little help. Everything is about how to install it from source, but why do that when Fedora comes with it in it's repos? I guess it's super L337 to do it that way or something.

                    ctrl+k? You're using Nautilus, right? Unless they changed something going to V3, it should be ctrl+h to show hidden files.

                    Installing from source is lame. That should only be done as a last recourse. Installing outside the package manager makes everything harder, and a bit more insecure. I use Qbittorrent, It just works without a bunch of terminal silliness :^D

                        Sgreger, for the rtorrent thing, you actually need to create that directory. Though, in all honesty, you should edit your .rtorrentrc and change the sessions directory to ~/.session. Most other programs that create a session lock file will default to using that, so it's better practice to just change rtorrent to use that by default (though that's how the stock config was for me anyway), so you don't have session locks all over the place.

                        The advice about deleting would be relevant if rtorrent had shut down uncleanly, like if your machine overheated and suddenly shut down on you. In this case, there would still be a session lock file in place, and
                        Code:
                        rm -f ~/.session/rtorrent.lock
                        will remove it and allow rtorrent to start a new session. By the way, you give tmux a whirl yet? Easy to pick up if you know screen a little, and a rather more useful tool, in my opinion. When you finally get around to it, you'll appreciate it.

                            And they are all sold out, and of course I registered interest with both vendors but really kind of PO'd I gave out my email to get no notification of the release whatsoever...

                              yep. Just saw this on the news. http://www.gadgetbox.msnbc.msn.com/t...ppliers-256575

                              Apparently it was more popular than I thought.

                                Okay so the Raspberry Pi COMPLETELY failed at their own launch. The issues are too many to name but here's a few:


                                First of all they only sent out emails to some people, almost no one online claims to have received one. I had 3 email addys signed up on their list and not one of them got an email.

                                One of their two distributors didn't know they were supposed to be selling it, they didn't even have the part # ready so no one could buy it from their store. They said they will instead sell it maybe some time next week. Raspberry Pi didn't know about this and leaned about 2 hours after lunach by reading other twitter posts, as they were unable to get into contact with the distributor.

                                The other distributor only shipped to the UK and was charging $50 before tax for the $35 model if you wanted it shipped in 30 days, they changed the price several times.

                                One of the two distributors put up a press release right at launch saying that they were only doing pre-orders and that there was no sale, then immediately took their site down for "scheduled system maintenance".

                                Then Raspberry Pi on twitter was amazed that people were upset, spent most of the time badmouthing the distributors, even though people had been saying for weeks that this would be a problem (the sites being DDoS'd) but Raspberry Pi shrugged off these worries and said everything would be fine.


                                Then people realized that the purchase link on the Raspberry Pi website led to a "show your interest in a Raspberry Pi" page on the distributors end, to which Raspberry Pi quickly tweated that "You are on the wrong page if you see this", which turned out not to be true.

                                Then they said "Everything is sold out", then "No it looks like they are not, keep trying!", then never provided an update.

                                Now 12 hours into this thing they still havn't made any mention of any of this or whether they are sold out or anything.

                                Those in the UK who were able to pre-order it got a ship date of March-May.

                                And to top it all off, the distributors were charging a $20 handling fee for this $34 item, plus shipping and tax/vat etc.


                                What a complete boondogle.



                                As a side note, I wanted to get your guys opinions on the Cotton Candy Linux Stick. It's sort of like a Raspberry Pi but it's $200 (and also way more powerfull, pluss wifi/bluetooth enabled).

                                1.2GHz ARM Cortex A9 processor, 1GB RAM, and an ARM Mali-400MP GPU. The tiny PC also manages to integrate Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI, USB 2.0, and a MicroSD slot (up to 64GB cards).


                                The idea is that it can run Andoird or Ubuntu on it and can plug into any device that accepts USB or HDMI, so it can be plugged into TV's, tablets, your computer etc. You can apparently plug it into your computer, do stuff on the OS, then take the stick with you to a metting etc and just plug it into a monitor or whatever and have your entire hard drive there. Storage is done on an (up to) 64GB SD card.

                                o you guys think this would be usefull for anything given the $200 price tag?
