| Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net. |

Re: boot.ini
look for the boot.ini file in C:\ . open it and it should look like this
code:<pre>
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windoze 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
</pre> |

Re: boot.ini
Never, never mess up with boot.ini.... That's the easyest way to make your computer "unbootable"

Re: boot.ini
I wouldn't be paraniod about it, it is easy to fix. You can always select, from the F8 boot menu, to load "last known good configuration"

Re: boot.ini
..hmm this has got me thinking - if SWIM was to alter the boot.ini file on a win 98 comp would SWIM suceed in screwing it up?

Re: boot.ini
not if SWIM had a brain. Just copy the original so if anything fucks up you can change it back.

Re: boot.ini
SWIM would be doing a neat trick editing boot.ini on a machine running only Windows 98, because Windows 98 doesn't use boot.ini at all. NTLDR uses boot.ini.

Re: boot.ini
As long as you know where your OS lies on your hard drive, and know the boot.ini path terminology, to which the specific name i can't remember, you can always just edit it back to the way it was.
