Using a network monitor to “sniff” traffic sent to/from the local machine…

by @ Monday, August 21st, 2006. Filed under tech

Occasionally you want to sniff some network traffic but the traffic is all local and you find that the network sniffer doesn’t show anything. This is because the traffic doesn’t make it out to the capture drivers, it is redirected internally before it gets that far. I am working on testing AdMod right now with ADAM […]

Stargate SG1 200

by @ Sunday, August 20th, 2006. Filed under general

If you ever enjoyed Stargate SG1 you want to see the 200th episode. It is quite hilarious and they spend the whole show poking fun at themselves and the scifi genre in general. Even a poke at Farscape which is quite hilarious due to the presence of Ben Browder and Claudia Black[1] on SG1 which […]

Deee dee dee deet 10 people turned into human-fly hybrids today, the terrorists are out of control. Hologram at 11!

Those damn terrorists…. No more gel filled bras on airline flights unless needed for medical reasons…  See http://improbable.com/2006/08/17/travel-alert-bring-a-gel-filled-bra/ which points at the TSA not allowed list at http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/new-items.shtm   I found that a bit humorous but it does follow with where we are going at the moment… However it makes me think of another issue… […]

Transfer or Seize FSMO roles…

by @ Saturday, August 19th, 2006. Filed under tech

There was a bit of a debate on Active Dir Org recently which is a rehash of a debate that comes up on a fairly regular basis concerning whether or not you should transfer FSMO roles when doing domain controller maintenance. I come down quite unforgivingly on the side of yes, transfer the roles. Part of the reasoning […]

I wondered when this would start…

by @ Saturday, August 19th, 2006. Filed under general

I was chatting with a friend in IM about this very topic and wondered when exactly the airlines would start fighting back on this. The industry is already on tight profit margins and when 30%+ of the flights are being cancelled in the UK it can’t be helping them very much with those margins.   […]

Man survives leukemia only to be killed by…. Anthrax…

by @ Saturday, August 19th, 2006. Filed under general

This one is an odd story… Buddhist killed by Anthrax. First human death from Anthrax in 32 years… Not terrorist related… Just making musical instruments… http://www.guardian.co.uk/medicine/story/0,,1851793,00.html   Rating 3.00 out of 5

Google Wifi

Google is giving away wifi and high speed internet in Mountainview… http://www.mybroadband.co.za/nephp/?m=show&id=3902 I am not sure I understand the strategy behind that but hey I’m all for it… Come to Michigan! 🙂 I wonder how long before the lawsuits start spinning up of unfair competitive practices… I see the next raid of the Microsoft Employees […]

12 year old amateur fools the best airport security the British have to offer at Gatwick…

by @ Thursday, August 17th, 2006. Filed under general

This 12 year old runaway from a children’s home got on an international flight with no passport and no ticket. I also assume he didn’t have a driver’s license or other form of ID… Possibly he was carrying a nuclear warhead but that is unconfirmed… Recall back my comment on trying to fully secure planes […]
