| 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. |

You'll never guess what I found in my hosts file
So, I've noticed for a while now that torrent sites like ThePirateBay and Mininova have been giving me these login prompts when ever I try to vist them. Knowing that neither of these sites would ever require a crude login just to access their homepages, I figured it had to be something nasty on my machine. After digging I around, it occurred to me it had to be my hosts file that was restricting access to these sites. Guess how surprised I was when I opened it up in Notepad++!
I think it was modified when I installed a Alcohol 120% crack, but I'm not certain. I'll just delete those *ahem* invalid entries and everything should be fine. What do you guys think about this? Should I be more worried that something tried to mess with my hosts? I'm running a full scan with Norton 2009 and AdAware at the moment, just to play it safe. |

Re: You'll never guess what I found in my hosts file
Jesus, why the fuck do you people put up with this?
I am honestly surprised every time a post like this comes though NS&H. I mean really. Monkey noises, anti-piracy viruses, what fucking next? You get a piece of spyware that rapes you in the ass with the CD-ROM drive?
You will not get any viruses if you run GNU/Linux. Why the fuck would you put up with this bullshit....

Re: You'll never guess what I found in my hosts file
.... I actually dual boot Vista and Fedora 10. I use Windows to run programs needed for work, so I was trying to download some Daft Punk on TPB while I worked.

Re: You'll never guess what I found in my hosts file
Jesus, put that shit in a VM and don't let it get on the net whatever you do
It was running a daemon on your own machine?

Re: You'll never guess what I found in my hosts file
No, as far as I can tell, it only modified my hosts file to not allow me to connect to mainstream torrent sites.
Why a software crack would do this? I haven't got a clue.

Dude, you can't run a 'daemon' on windows, you can't fork in the first place.
Welcome to Windows world.

My god your such a pretentious Linux idiot. Your a fool if you think Linux is good. Linux sucks if not only for the fact that all the "good" software is written for Windows and by "good" I don't mean open source software written for Linux by people like you that try to promote the shit and user-friendless operating system Linux, I mean user friendly and potentially commercial software, the kind of software you could be writing if you weren't in denial of the fact that Windows is a success story and Linux is not. So I am going to go use Windows now and not have to worry about navigating my way through a fucking spaghetti maze, because when you are looking for software drivers for the new hardware you just bought that was designed for Windows and you cannot find any for Linux I'll know I'm right. P.S. you could be making money but your made of fail.
