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.

Default How do I update BIOS?

Ok I've been having some erroptions on my keyboard and mouse, and windows help gave me the following info:

--------------------------------

You may experience erratic mouse movement and loss of keyboard functionality when you connect to an APEX switch box with a BIOS version earlier than 1.9.0.

If you're using an APEX switch box, make sure your BIOS is version 1.9.0 or later.

UNBELIEVABLE! Those are the EXACT 2 questions I was just about to ask...Are you my clone?

Obviously I don't know the answers to your questions, considering I was about to post them.

No, unfortunatly it's not a joke. I tried looking inside the computer but my motherboard doesn't have any stickers with info on it. Is there a way to find out what model of motherboard I have on the screen somehow?

This is more TT.

When you first turn on your computer it'll tell you what BIOS you have. Usally something like Award, or Phoneix. It'll be the first thing you see. It'll also say something like press f2/del to enter setup. Do that, that is your BIOS. You can look around in there for a name.



What kind of computer is it? If you got it from a major company (like Dell) then you can search for what kind it is online.

I must warn though, flashing a BIOS without knowing for sure that you are using the right BIOS will ruin it. It'll make your motherboard (almost) unrecoverable.
