This is dedicated to all the hackers and the crackers, to the hackers and the crackers.

00:09.760 --> 00:15.520
I see in binary, I speak source code, step on my toes, I'll post a million jpegs of you

00:15.520 --> 00:20.800
in a fag phone, in your digital stance getting firewalled ho, cause I'm riding the net in

00:20.800 --> 00:27.020
my six foe, I was a dick with my 56, now with my cable I'm able to get that stable, on the

00:27.020 --> 00:32.120
out, my name is Ace and I'm a Leo, on the digital highway, my name is Neo and I'm a

00:32.120 --> 00:37.240
hero, in a flash I'll screw you on burning dreamcast, you need some ISO, let me through

00:37.240 --> 00:42.680
my hard drive rifle, our exchange you could never stifle, in a digital hug, you just caught

00:42.680 --> 00:48.940
the love bug, I bootlegged your CD, I caused a fight between Un and Jay-Z, your CG, it's

00:48.940 --> 00:53.440
all gonna be free, whether we take it by force or we take it nicely, you feel that rattling

00:53.440 --> 00:58.140
your phones, when I tell you we just hacked out Jones, and NASDAQ leaves you flat on your

00:58.140 --> 01:03.100
back, cause I am he who loves to hack and crack, cause I am he who loves to hack and

01:03.100 --> 01:09.520
crack, this is dedicated to the hackers and the crackers, serial code, source code, ISO,

Hello and welcome to Pioneer Revolution Radio, episode 117 for October 11th, 2005.

01:18.040 --> 01:19.000
I'm Strom Carlson.

01:19.280 --> 01:20.140
I'm Black Ratchet.

01:20.140 --> 01:23.260
We have two guests this week, both from Boston 2600.

01:23.360 --> 01:24.460
We have Koresh and Stalin.

01:24.740 --> 01:25.340
Say hi, guys.

01:26.060 --> 01:26.340
Hi.

01:29.420 --> 01:32.700
Koresh has been on the show before talking about the meetings and everything.

01:33.940 --> 01:36.420
We have Stalin's a bin rev version.

01:37.400 --> 01:37.660
Woo!

01:38.820 --> 01:41.340
Yes, we're going to have the towel party after the show.

01:41.560 --> 01:43.060
We're deflowering Stalin.

01:43.240 --> 01:45.180
I've always wanted to deflower a Soviet leader.

01:46.200 --> 01:47.540
Oh, goddammit.

01:48.480 --> 01:49.560
That sounds unfun.

01:49.560 --> 01:52.820
You know, we need to find out, like, a term for that fetish.

01:54.600 --> 01:56.580
Obsessed about, you know, Soviet philia?

01:56.840 --> 01:57.960
Soviet leaders.

02:01.160 --> 02:08.140
The Cold War era was so fun, you know, kind of just waiting for impending doom to fall upon us.

02:08.520 --> 02:14.060
You know, just thinking whether Brezhnev is going to have a decent day or not.

02:14.480 --> 02:17.480
You know, it keeps me going.

02:17.480 --> 02:21.300
Well, don't worry, because if there is a nuclear attack, you can always hide under the desk.

02:22.880 --> 02:25.100
No, there's too many computers under it right now at this point.

02:25.180 --> 02:26.700
I can't really fit under it at this point.

02:27.240 --> 02:29.480
Yeah, but they'll absorb all the EMP stuff.

02:29.480 --> 02:35.460
Actually, talking about nuclear attack, this actually happened about a month or so ago.

02:36.280 --> 02:42.140
Cipher X, who was from, he's a jarhead, he's from the Marine Corps and recently exited.

02:42.640 --> 02:46.540
He sent me a scan of one of his field manuals, and it says,

02:46.540 --> 02:58.500
In the event of a nuclear attack and you are exposed and have no shelter, you are supposed to lie on the ground and put your feet toward the blast and just sit there until the shockwave passes.

02:59.120 --> 02:59.960
That sounds effective.

03:00.480 --> 03:00.760
Yeah.

03:02.320 --> 03:02.720
Yeah.

03:02.920 --> 03:04.840
Are you all supposed to put a paper bag over your head or something?

03:04.840 --> 03:11.980
No, see, if you dig a hole and put your head in it, you know, if you don't see it, it never really happens.

03:12.820 --> 03:14.580
Oh, well, that's my theory to life anyway.

03:16.260 --> 03:18.560
I tell Crush this all the time.

03:18.640 --> 03:26.500
It's like, you know, don't look at the package, you know, of item X you're buying, you know, or else, you know, you probably won't be able to eat it.

03:26.500 --> 03:32.860
And, you know, man doesn't listen, but I think it's a pretty decent ideology, a decent way to look at life.

03:33.580 --> 03:34.800
Don't read the package labels.

03:35.900 --> 03:36.760
Yeah, it's always a good thing.

03:36.860 --> 03:37.920
Just ostrich syndrome.

03:38.080 --> 03:39.480
If you don't see it, it's not there.

03:40.360 --> 03:40.720
Exactly.

03:42.100 --> 03:43.740
All right, let's get into housekeeping.

03:44.560 --> 03:44.880
Yay!

03:47.120 --> 03:47.620
Let's see.

03:47.620 --> 03:59.620
Our one housekeeping announcement is I was cruising in the car day and I heard on WBZ 1030 AM that Yahoo was getting into the podcasting – I forget the term they used.

03:59.700 --> 04:03.600
I think it was like – shoot, I don't know what they were calling it.

04:03.640 --> 04:12.960
They were using some type of snazzy term like, you know, trend or – they were making it sound like this really cool thing that was happening on the Internet and all of you should be envious of what's happening and you're not there.

04:12.960 --> 04:22.840
So I checked it out and technically I guess we're already listed or if you do a search for BINREV radio, we have all kinds of hits for the podcasts.

04:23.560 --> 04:29.120
But none of the podcasts actually work because the two that they always reference seem to be 404 hours.

04:29.120 --> 04:31.960
So I submitted us.

04:32.100 --> 04:42.440
Hopefully in the next couple of days they'll be adding us and you can go search us out at http colon slash slash audio dot search dot yahoo dot com.

04:42.960 --> 04:45.100
Hopefully you can spell that.

04:45.580 --> 04:45.720
Yeah.

04:46.420 --> 04:46.860
Audio.

04:47.020 --> 04:47.900
A-U-D-I-O.

04:48.120 --> 04:51.140
If you don't know what the yahoo dot com is –

04:51.140 --> 04:55.880
What, .mx doesn't work or, you know, .co.jp doesn't work?

04:56.000 --> 04:58.980
You know, what about all the people that don't live in the States?

04:59.520 --> 05:00.900
You know, what about that?

05:00.900 --> 05:01.660
That's a good question.

05:01.840 --> 05:07.440
I don't know if we're working for all the other – because I know it's like yahoo dot co.jp and –

05:07.440 --> 05:08.140
Screw them.

05:08.860 --> 05:09.420
Screw them.

05:09.540 --> 05:10.200
Screw all the foreigners.

05:11.020 --> 05:11.400
It doesn't matter.

05:11.400 --> 05:14.180
I got this web hosting for you later in the show.

05:15.060 --> 05:15.300
Okay.

05:19.540 --> 05:21.060
So, yeah, let's get into the email.

05:21.300 --> 05:22.520
That's about it for things.

05:22.600 --> 05:23.200
Let's go into the email.

05:23.200 --> 05:45.700
Hey, Black Ratchets, Tom Carlson, and Insert Guest here.

05:46.080 --> 05:47.380
First of all, love the show.

05:47.380 --> 05:52.820
I was listening to episode 116, and you were having a discussion on the performance rating that AMD gives their chips.

05:53.300 --> 05:57.420
First of all, let me just say up front, I am an AMD fan, so take this as coming from one.

05:58.100 --> 06:01.660
But they are very correct in saying their clock speed does not indicate performance.

06:02.140 --> 06:09.200
The AMD 3000 Plus is a higher clock speed than the 3200 Plus, but the 3200 Plus performs better in nearly every test I have seen.

06:09.200 --> 06:12.740
Also, Intel is doing this with their new processors as well.

06:12.740 --> 06:13.840
A quote from Wikipedia.

06:14.980 --> 06:26.220
Because of the philosophy change, a Pentium 4 clocked at 3.0 GHz with a 1 MB L2 cache could now outperform a 3.4 GHz Pentium 4 with 512 KB L2 cache.

06:26.920 --> 06:31.020
Clock speeds could no longer solely differentiate the performance of different Pentium 4s.

06:31.020 --> 06:36.480
As a result, Intel has adopted a PR rating of its own using three-digit numbers.

06:37.020 --> 06:43.340
Intel now faces the challenge of making consumers compare its processors based on PR ratings rather than raw clock speed.

06:44.080 --> 06:46.460
Ironically, a problem which Intel created for itself.

06:47.420 --> 06:52.140
Check it out here at tinyurl.com slash bravo3...

06:52.140 --> 06:54.340
Tinyurl...

06:54.340 --> 06:55.180
Bravo 3...

06:55.180 --> 06:55.200

06:55.780 --> 06:56.720
Sierra, Sierra, Sierra.

06:57.520 --> 07:00.060
No, the 3.8 just messed me up for some reason.

07:00.060 --> 07:04.060
That, once again, that's tinyurl.com slash bravo3...

07:04.060 --> 07:04.660
8...

07:04.660 --> 07:05.300
Sierra, Sierra.

07:05.620 --> 07:05.880
Yes.

07:06.740 --> 07:10.340
Anyways, keep up the good work, love the show, love more of the phone content.

07:10.860 --> 07:17.120
Also, if you wouldn't mind, I'm interested in organizing a BINREV meeting in Southern California in the Victorville-Hesperia-Apple Valley area.

07:17.540 --> 07:22.960
Could you please announce this on the show and ask anyone interested to email klistplusmeeting at gmail.com?

07:23.080 --> 07:24.360
I would appreciate it a lot.

07:24.840 --> 07:29.360
Oh, and if you do read this on the air, shout out to Siaskul Lochelesko...

07:29.360 --> 07:30.180
What is it?

07:31.580 --> 07:36.380
Psychosoul, Lochoisloco, and Danathor.

07:37.440 --> 07:39.860
I'm not even going to attempt to pronounce those again.

07:40.860 --> 07:41.520
Lord Kalis.

07:42.800 --> 07:43.600
Smiley face.

07:43.600 --> 07:47.140
Yes, I'm standing corrected.

07:48.520 --> 07:51.720
I usually stand by my whole measuring, you know, CPU support.

07:51.920 --> 07:56.100
I stand by my statement of CPU performance measuring is completely subjective.

07:56.100 --> 08:11.000
It's, I literally, I took two courses on this in school on why this is so hard, and there are dozens upon dozens of standards out there since, like, 1970, even before that, people measuring performance.

08:11.000 --> 08:15.580
You know, the special things that are counted in one aren't counted in others.

08:15.760 --> 08:17.280
There's all kinds of special terms.

08:17.420 --> 08:21.600
There's MIPS, there's FLOPs, whetstones, drystones, clock speed, cache.

08:21.600 --> 08:33.580
There's 15 ways until Sunday that you can measure CPU performance, and just measuring them on one test will say that it's better than another chip, but if you run another test on them, it'll say it's worse than other chips.

08:33.900 --> 08:39.040
So, I'm leaving you with kind of my own take on an old saying.

08:39.280 --> 08:42.840
There are lies, damn lies, and CPU performance specs.

08:42.840 --> 08:47.320
I think everyone agrees with that, I hope.

08:47.740 --> 08:48.340
Yep, yep.

08:49.200 --> 08:56.700
And also, this also kind of, this just occurred to me, this also kind of proves that overclockers are really silly.

08:57.500 --> 09:01.980
Just, you know, increasing your clock speed is not going to basically increase your CPU performance.

09:02.460 --> 09:03.180
Thank you very much.

09:04.160 --> 09:04.520
Yay!

09:07.400 --> 09:11.780
But, man, you can get, like, an extra two to three frames per second on Quake, man.

09:11.780 --> 09:18.080
You know, like, that, you know, two to three frames per second, you know, will totally make you a better gamer.

09:18.460 --> 09:18.860
Exactly.

09:18.860 --> 09:27.700
But, Hank, that's kind of always been the, you know, the philosophy of anyone who tweaks every last possible ounce of performance out of their, you know, computer or car or whatever, you know.

09:27.760 --> 09:29.080
Their Gen 2 box.

09:29.780 --> 09:30.620
Yeah, exactly, right.

09:30.620 --> 09:44.860
You make your initial upgrade, which gives you this enormous leap in speed, and then you start tweaking it and tweaking it and spend inordinate amounts of time and money going for that extra one cycle a second or one mile an hour, you know, or one pound foot of torque or whatever.

09:45.220 --> 09:46.520
You know, this just occurred to me.

09:46.580 --> 09:50.360
I don't think we've had an episode yet where people haven't mentioned Gen 2.

09:50.360 --> 09:54.300
We'll have to try that next time to see if we can have an episode of Gen 2.

09:54.300 --> 09:57.540
I guess so, because we're just, we've lost already.

09:58.220 --> 09:58.340
Yeah.

09:58.420 --> 09:59.480
See, I didn't.

10:00.480 --> 10:00.980
Go ahead, Scott.

10:01.780 --> 10:03.360
You mentioned frame rates before?

10:03.740 --> 10:04.600
Note that down.

10:04.680 --> 10:05.180
Edit that out.

10:05.380 --> 10:05.760
Yeah, I know.

10:07.520 --> 10:07.960
I already did.

10:07.960 --> 10:08.720
You mentioned frame rates?

10:09.300 --> 10:09.860
Stalin did?

10:10.660 --> 10:10.980
Mm-hmm.

10:11.040 --> 10:11.240
Yeah.

10:12.080 --> 10:16.720
Yeah, I just want to thank whoever out there ported Duke Nukem 3D to Mac OS X.

10:16.820 --> 10:18.440
You kind of made my shitty week a little bit better.

10:19.320 --> 10:19.680
Really?

10:19.820 --> 10:21.700
You can run Duke Nukem 3D on Mac OS?

10:22.640 --> 10:24.320
It is a special port of it for OS X.

10:25.300 --> 10:25.700
Wow.

10:26.180 --> 10:31.100
Seriously, find the URL and put that in your personal hacking stories, because I really would like to try that.

10:31.780 --> 10:32.080
Cool.

10:32.080 --> 10:33.340
Oh, yeah, I can send it over to you.

10:33.400 --> 10:35.220
It's pretty damn small, I mean, comparatively.

10:35.720 --> 10:36.900
So it's great.

10:37.520 --> 10:39.400
How do you switch weapons?

10:39.500 --> 10:40.300
There's no right mouse.

10:41.240 --> 10:43.100
Everything's on the keyboard.

10:43.220 --> 10:47.200
I'm still in the process of mapping everything out in the best way, especially on a compact keyboard like that.

10:47.220 --> 10:48.220
It's a real pain in the ass.

10:48.380 --> 10:48.820
I can imagine.

10:48.820 --> 10:49.680
No, but you can control click.

10:51.740 --> 10:52.180
Yeah, I know.

10:52.240 --> 10:52.780
Tell me about it.

10:52.880 --> 10:54.200
Seriously, the whole...

10:54.200 --> 10:55.660
Haven't we already mentioned this?

10:55.780 --> 10:59.000
The whole having one mouse key is like being born with one nipple?

11:00.360 --> 11:02.740
I don't know if you've said that personally, but that's pretty amusing.

11:04.440 --> 11:05.480
So, yeah, that sounds cool.

11:05.480 --> 11:13.460
Also, yeah, as far as starting a BINREV meeting in the high desert of Southern California, that would be pretty cool.

11:13.460 --> 11:22.180
I know there are a couple people who come all the way to the LA 2600 meetings and EC2N3 meetings from, like, the El Cajon Pass area.

11:22.560 --> 11:25.500
So I'm pretty sure they would appreciate having something closer to home.

11:25.820 --> 11:37.460
However, I'm not sure how terribly successful you're going to be, simply because I know that there have been maybe at least one attempt at doing a DC 909 group.

11:37.460 --> 11:41.720
And that has consistently just fallen apart.

11:42.340 --> 11:49.960
So best of luck, and email me if you want any help, because I run the DC 213 meeting, and I'd be more than happy to help you organize that.

11:50.320 --> 11:54.140
Also, perhaps the entire thing could be that, you know, they just don't have a good organizer.

11:54.400 --> 12:01.440
Perhaps KLS could be the driving force between BINREV 909 or whatever you want to call it.

12:01.620 --> 12:04.340
It would be BINREV 760, in fact.

12:04.660 --> 12:05.640
BINREV 760?

12:05.640 --> 12:11.000
KLS, we'll put you in the announcements for the next couple of shows.

12:11.880 --> 12:16.980
Isn't there, like, five or six different, like, 2600 meetings in California?

12:17.140 --> 12:20.900
There's some pretty ridiculous number of 2600 meetings in California.

12:21.160 --> 12:28.980
Well, I know there's one in San Diego, there's one in San Francisco, there's one in Los Angeles.

12:30.140 --> 12:32.620
I think there's one, like, in Orange County somewhere.

12:32.620 --> 12:35.700
Also, I hear California is pretty big.

12:36.200 --> 12:36.380
Yeah.

12:36.640 --> 12:44.900
Don't forget, the Los Angeles metropolitan area, you know, just Los Angeles County and Orange County combined are, like, what, 25, 30 million people?

12:45.620 --> 12:45.980
So...

12:45.980 --> 12:46.600
Not bad.

12:47.560 --> 12:47.920
Not bad.

12:49.040 --> 12:49.860
It's crazy.

12:49.860 --> 12:51.860
So, yeah, I can understand there being tons of meetings.

12:52.780 --> 12:52.960
Yeah, well...

12:52.960 --> 12:54.840
I think Stalin should move back out there.

12:54.900 --> 12:59.120
Maybe he can get, like, an, I don't know, ESL version of the meetings going on.

12:59.220 --> 12:59.660
What do you think?

13:00.760 --> 13:03.280
Might be mildly successful in the Southern California area.

13:04.280 --> 13:06.760
For those of you who don't know Stalin, Stalin is Mexican.

13:07.960 --> 13:09.380
He's very proud of that fact.

13:09.380 --> 13:11.740
How often do you go back to Mexico?

13:12.780 --> 13:15.340
About once every year.

13:15.820 --> 13:16.380
Once every year?

13:16.440 --> 13:17.440
That was more often than that.

13:17.440 --> 13:18.840
I don't know, no.

13:20.160 --> 13:21.480
I tend to stay away.

13:23.020 --> 13:24.140
We can have, like, an ESL...

13:24.140 --> 13:24.640
We can do...

13:24.640 --> 13:25.280
Here's what we can do.

13:25.460 --> 13:28.760
At the Boston 2800, we can have an ESL version of Stalin doing the translating.

13:34.100 --> 13:38.900
I'm not making fun of ESL, nor non-English, non-native English speakers.

13:40.860 --> 13:46.040
I mean, like, it shouldn't be that bad in California, you know, since most, you know...

13:46.040 --> 13:51.340
You know, prerequisite to live in California, you kind of have to know Spanish, so I think

13:51.340 --> 13:53.380
everybody can handle it down there.

13:54.240 --> 13:58.980
But, you know, Boston, on the other hand, you know, that shit isn't a requirement, so...

13:58.980 --> 14:04.360
You know, you have to pick up on the not seeing our stuff, and, you know...

14:04.360 --> 14:08.540
But, yeah, I think I could manage an ESL talk.

14:08.540 --> 14:12.000
I mean, why don't we have more, you know, real Boston people come into the meetings around

14:12.000 --> 14:12.300
here?

14:14.420 --> 14:17.540
As opposed to those fake Boston people that we currently have, huh?

14:17.740 --> 14:19.340
Yeah, like all of us.

14:20.200 --> 14:22.760
I'm born and raised in Boston.

14:23.580 --> 14:24.960
Yeah, but you don't sound like it.

14:24.960 --> 14:26.840
I want to have some real Boston people, you know what I mean?

14:26.840 --> 14:28.680
No, I'll go.

14:28.940 --> 14:35.500
We can get that announcer from that Discovery Channel fire show they're doing in Boston.

14:36.320 --> 14:36.480
Yes.

14:36.720 --> 14:37.140
And I was...

14:37.140 --> 14:37.320
Oh.

14:38.100 --> 14:42.180
The announcer does a fake Boston accent during the entire show, and it just hits me and

14:42.180 --> 14:43.260
just grates on me.

14:44.880 --> 14:45.920
Oh, it's horrible.

14:46.020 --> 14:47.380
I've heard amazing things.

14:47.920 --> 14:48.900
Oh, man.

14:50.220 --> 14:53.840
Well, we're really drifting here, so let's just go on and move on to the next...

14:53.840 --> 14:58.460
Before we move on to the next email, again, that email address is kahlessplusmeeting,

14:58.540 --> 15:04.640
that's K-A-H-L-E-S-S plusmeeting at gmail.com.

15:04.880 --> 15:06.480
Yeah, we'll put that in announcements, too.

15:06.560 --> 15:08.500
We'll toss you in the announcements for the next couple of weeks.

15:08.500 --> 15:08.700
Yeah.

15:09.100 --> 15:11.620
Because, hey, you know, more BINREF meetings are equal to good.

15:13.040 --> 15:17.080
Our next email tonight is from Madar, M-A-D-A-R.

15:17.080 --> 15:21.800
So, I have an asterisk question, which would seem to be simple, but I'm having a dog of a time

15:21.800 --> 15:23.700
kneeling it down in a solid answer online.

15:24.280 --> 15:26.680
My question is regarding SIP phones inside of a LAN.

15:26.860 --> 15:28.240
What exactly is the deal here?

15:29.000 --> 15:33.720
I understand that SIPs don't play well with NAT, and I pretty much understand why it's an issue.

15:33.900 --> 15:35.880
SIP can't be bound to a specific port, Etsy.

15:36.840 --> 15:41.540
However, I don't understand why you can't have, or can you, a SIP phone inside the network

15:41.540 --> 15:46.520
that talks to asterisk, while asterisk translates into eeks, and then connects outside my router

15:46.520 --> 15:48.560
to a service, i.e., EFWD.

15:48.760 --> 15:50.120
I'm assuming they can speak IAX.

15:50.120 --> 15:53.120
Could you please break this down for me a bit?

15:53.320 --> 15:58.620
I'm living in Taiwan, and I have seen a SIP phone in shops, an Art Dio IPF 2000, I believe.

15:59.020 --> 16:01.340
I'm tempted to pick one up, however, it's not terribly cheap.

16:01.460 --> 16:05.760
If I'm not going to be able to get out of my land to reach my family and friends in other parts of the world,

16:05.840 --> 16:07.100
it's going to be pretty useless to me.

16:07.640 --> 16:12.220
I'm pretty sure that this is going to be worked around, but I hate to drop cash only to find out that I'm wrong.

16:12.660 --> 16:13.900
Thanks in advance, Madar.

16:14.120 --> 16:16.180
P.S., stop talking about freaking phones already.

16:16.540 --> 16:18.280
Stop talking about phones and a phone question?

16:18.280 --> 16:19.340
Oh, my gosh, what will they ever do?

16:19.460 --> 16:20.180
I think I'm going to explode now.

16:20.180 --> 16:21.140
My head's going to explode.

16:21.240 --> 16:21.760
Yeah, yeah.

16:22.220 --> 16:24.200
Anyway, thank you for the mail.

16:24.380 --> 16:28.700
I'm pretty sure this is – if you're not the first Taiwanese listener we've heard of,

16:28.980 --> 16:30.800
certainly the first one who's sent us email.

16:31.400 --> 16:33.320
So, yay, we're international.

16:33.320 --> 16:34.960
I can't believe all the way in Taiwan.

16:35.080 --> 16:35.540
That's amazing.

16:36.020 --> 16:36.180
Yeah.

16:37.260 --> 16:40.040
Anyway, what you're talking about is perfectly doable.

16:40.200 --> 16:42.760
In fact, Ratchet and I do exactly that.

16:42.840 --> 16:48.360
We have SIP phones on our desks that talk to our asterisk boxes, which then talk to each other via eek.

16:48.760 --> 16:53.700
So it's very doable, and it's really ridiculously easy to do.

16:54.400 --> 16:55.580
It's seamless as well.

16:55.580 --> 17:01.040
I mean, pretty much you just set up in your configuration that the SIP phone acts as an extension off your asterisk box,

17:01.120 --> 17:03.540
and then the asterisk box switch you to the eek trunk.

17:06.700 --> 17:07.540
It's very easy.

17:07.640 --> 17:08.820
All it's just done in your configs.

17:08.840 --> 17:09.900
You can specify it right out.

17:10.740 --> 17:15.240
To be honest, it doesn't even show – it doesn't even register to me that this is happening.

17:15.340 --> 17:16.320
It's completely seamless.

17:18.760 --> 17:19.900
Well, I mean, like –

17:19.900 --> 17:20.800
What's so surprising about Taiwan?

17:22.140 --> 17:22.500
Pardon?

17:23.320 --> 17:25.460
What's so surprising about him being from Taiwan?

17:25.640 --> 17:28.880
I mean, everything in my PC right now was made there in the first place.

17:32.140 --> 17:35.560
Well, I mean, given that this is mainly an English-language show,

17:35.700 --> 17:39.880
and it's, you know, for the most part within the context of the North American continent,

17:40.840 --> 17:44.940
we try and have international perspective, but this is still kind of interesting to me, you know?

17:46.520 --> 17:47.820
It's just pretty cool in general.

17:48.160 --> 17:48.360
Mm-hmm.

17:50.640 --> 17:52.960
The next email is from Lumi, and it says,

17:53.440 --> 17:55.820
The really cool Mac supercomputer is at Virginia Tech.

17:56.060 --> 17:59.760
Originally, they used G5 dual processors and just bought a ton of them.

18:00.160 --> 18:03.620
When the X-Serve came out, they bought a ton of those as well to replace the G5s.

18:03.840 --> 18:05.960
There's a movie on it available at the following site,

18:06.180 --> 18:11.720
and that's apple.com slash hardware slash video slash Virginia Tech.

18:12.740 --> 18:14.280
A really quick note on RAID.

18:14.620 --> 18:15.780
RAID 0 is striped.

18:15.960 --> 18:16.860
RAID 1 is mirrored.

18:16.860 --> 18:20.160
Some controllers can do RAID 0 plus 1, which is a mirrored stripe.

18:20.580 --> 18:25.340
Finally, in regards to the Pixar air conditioners and having to manually shut down the computers,

18:25.720 --> 18:31.440
my friend just recently acquired a managed power bar that he can tell it into and shut down power cycle computers from remotely.

18:32.060 --> 18:33.440
Sure would have helped a lot with Pixar.

18:34.320 --> 18:35.100
Regards, Lumi.

18:35.100 --> 18:39.820
Well, Lumi, thanks for cleaning that up.

18:39.940 --> 18:44.300
I always get confused about, you know, striping, mirroring, mirroring and striping.

18:45.140 --> 18:48.120
And when you get to RAID 5, I completely lose it.

18:48.460 --> 18:53.640
It's like RAID 5 mirrored striping plus parity or some such nonsense.

18:53.640 --> 18:56.620
I know how RAID 5 works.

18:56.720 --> 18:59.660
I know how RAID 4 works, 3, 2, and 1, and 0.

18:59.820 --> 19:00.360
They all work.

19:00.420 --> 19:01.600
I just don't know the damn terms.

19:02.840 --> 19:06.040
I got to say, those power strips you're talking about are very badass.

19:06.500 --> 19:11.760
I've seen them in use, and they are just the coolest things ever for a hung machine that's physically dead.

19:12.400 --> 19:16.900
However, the problem with the manual shutdown is that in order to graciously take a machine down,

19:16.980 --> 19:17.980
you can't just unplug it.

19:18.200 --> 19:21.040
That's essentially of, like, putting someone to sleep by snapping their neck.

19:22.340 --> 19:24.280
It's something you just don't do.

19:25.120 --> 19:31.920
However, like, one of the things that I always want to do is I just want to have one of those manageable power outlet type things

19:31.920 --> 19:33.620
and plug my DSL modem into it.

19:33.920 --> 19:38.060
And if one of my servers detects that I don't have Internet, it will just automatically power cycle it for me,

19:38.740 --> 19:42.160
which is always really annoying when I'm at work and my DSL connection goes down

19:42.160 --> 19:45.880
and I can't access any of my machines on my LAN, and it makes me sad.

19:47.980 --> 19:49.820
But, you know, that's what I want.

19:50.040 --> 19:53.360
However, I don't think that's ever going to happen anytime soon,

19:53.460 --> 19:56.800
because these things cost gobs and gobs and gobs of money.

19:58.260 --> 20:00.540
Well, you just need to win the lottery like the rest of us.

20:00.920 --> 20:02.040
Ah, yes, yes, indeed.

20:04.640 --> 20:07.660
Do you want to read the next email, and I can do my well-rehearsed answer?

20:08.500 --> 20:09.160
Sure, sure.

20:10.460 --> 20:12.920
Hey, Black Ratchet, Strom, and any other co-hosts.

20:12.920 --> 20:15.240
I found this story on the MyGOT forums.

20:15.320 --> 20:16.320
I guess that's how you pronounce that.

20:16.840 --> 20:17.400
I assume so.

20:17.600 --> 20:17.700
Yeah.

20:18.000 --> 20:25.300
Some guy said that while taking apart his laptop to replace a broken PCMCIA riser,

20:25.640 --> 20:28.760
he found a hardware key logger that was wired to his Ethernet card

20:28.760 --> 20:31.580
that would send keys to the Department of Homeland Security.

20:32.220 --> 20:33.000
Here's the link.

20:33.740 --> 20:38.340
TinyURL.com slash 7EchoGolf72.

20:38.860 --> 20:39.400
I'm learning.

20:39.400 --> 20:41.760
Crazy stuff.

20:42.080 --> 20:44.160
Do you think that the government is trying to spy on people?

20:44.440 --> 20:45.260
I wouldn't doubt it.

20:45.340 --> 20:47.360
But anywho, I have a good idea for an episode,

20:47.640 --> 20:50.880
maybe a good wholehearted episode all about freaking payphones old school

20:50.880 --> 20:52.000
and other freaks or fun.

20:52.720 --> 20:53.400
Love, termite.

20:54.040 --> 20:55.020
Wow, that was a random ending.

20:56.400 --> 20:58.760
I like the old school freaks or fun.

20:59.180 --> 20:59.420
Yeah.

20:59.960 --> 21:00.260
Yeah.

21:00.440 --> 21:03.760
I don't know what the hell that is, so we'll get back to you on that.

21:03.760 --> 21:11.080
So if you're listening to the show, I'll give you a second to bring up this web page.

21:11.420 --> 21:15.500
Bear in mind, I wouldn't visit it from work, and I will tell you the reason why.

21:15.640 --> 21:17.160
So I'll give you a second to bring it up.

21:18.640 --> 21:19.040
Okay.

21:19.080 --> 21:19.920
I hope you had fast fingers.

21:21.800 --> 21:22.160
Wow.

21:22.160 --> 21:25.760
Well, let me say, this is really, really, really fishy.

21:26.660 --> 21:31.180
So, well, first off, this whole website is based off of a guy's website

21:31.180 --> 21:34.360
who's an anti-government white power talk show host.

21:35.380 --> 21:37.080
Not that this discounts it outright.

21:37.080 --> 21:44.820
Well, I'll just say that I took it with a very, very, very, very, very, very, very large grain of salt.

21:46.340 --> 21:53.820
Well, okay, next, I have never seen a laptop ever with a shield wire going between the keyboard and the system board

21:53.820 --> 22:00.580
like he's the one showing right there in the, I don't know what he says, the little pictures he has there.

22:00.580 --> 22:07.660
I've seen small wires going from the laptop to the system board around 1997 or so,

22:07.760 --> 22:12.680
but anything past, like, 2000 that I have seen has some type of ribbon cable

22:12.680 --> 22:15.940
or some type of kind of, like, flat data film.

22:16.040 --> 22:17.360
I'm not sure exactly what they call it.

22:17.400 --> 22:22.700
It's this really flat, plastic-y thing, and it looks like a sheet of paper, really.

22:25.000 --> 22:29.640
Third, if this gizmo is hooked into the Ethernet card, it can't magically talk into the Internet.

22:29.640 --> 22:32.040
Ethernet is designed for local LAN transmission.

22:32.720 --> 22:37.200
This isn't going to go and do, you know, the government well unless you're sitting right on your LAN.

22:38.160 --> 22:44.240
Fourth, if this is correct, the keyboard, or KeyGhost keyboard logger, that's what he calls it, right?

22:44.320 --> 22:44.520
Yes.

22:45.300 --> 22:49.440
It's hooked into the Ethernet board, and there is little to no way for this thing to talk to the network

22:49.440 --> 22:50.960
without killing your Ethernet connection.

22:51.600 --> 22:52.820
Well, technically not.

22:53.240 --> 22:55.380
You can't piggyback it onto your existing Ethernet.

22:56.040 --> 22:57.900
It will quite literally break your network.

22:59.640 --> 23:02.240
Fifth, I really loved this quote.

23:02.940 --> 23:07.140
I called the police, as having a key logger unknown to me in my laptop is a serious offense.

23:07.680 --> 23:09.960
They told me to call the Department of Homeland Security.

23:11.000 --> 23:13.500
Now, I can picture this conversation at the precinct.

23:13.580 --> 23:16.620
We got, like, some guy answering the phone, and a sergeant sitting right behind him,

23:16.620 --> 23:20.480
and he just turns around and says, you know, Sarge, I got this guy on line one.

23:20.660 --> 23:23.000
He's talking about, like, this key logger in his laptop.

23:23.700 --> 23:24.360
What should I do?

23:25.320 --> 23:30.800
And the sergeant, like, probably, like, thinks there for a second, oh, man, like, tell him to call the Department of Homeland Security.

23:30.920 --> 23:32.580
It's going to, like, really blow his mind.

23:32.580 --> 23:39.200
And I can just see this happening because, like, I always heard this story about this guy, you know,

23:39.240 --> 23:44.760
constantly harassing the police department about how aliens are sending, like, evil signals controlling his brain.

23:44.760 --> 23:49.100
And one of the cops finally told him, here's what you do.

23:49.200 --> 23:53.320
You take your tinfoil, you cover yourself in it, and you make sure the shiny side's out,

23:53.380 --> 23:54.960
and everything will stop going into your brain.

23:55.280 --> 23:57.820
And he called back, like, a day later saying, thank you very much.

24:00.000 --> 24:01.560
I don't know if it's true.

24:01.740 --> 24:02.780
I really don't know.

24:03.660 --> 24:06.360
But it's a humorous story nonetheless.

24:06.360 --> 24:16.720
So, finally, getting Freedom of Information Act request approved, it's insanely hard to do in any type of form of law enforcement agency.

24:17.600 --> 24:21.200
It's a law of the land, and it's cool, and you always get some stuff out eventually.

24:21.860 --> 24:27.040
But the law says you can't get stuff, items relating to national security.

24:28.660 --> 24:34.320
As we all know, national security is lovely and an all-encompassing term that can include anything

24:34.320 --> 24:39.780
ranging from the color of the presidential underwear to the lunch menu at the Langley Falls High School.

24:39.960 --> 24:42.340
Oh, come on. We all know Bushwear's smiley face underwear.

24:43.560 --> 24:44.600
We'll have a nice day.

24:47.440 --> 24:50.720
My opinion is, I'm not sure about anyone else. Take it as you will.

24:51.300 --> 24:56.380
Something like this is sort of kind of possible, I guess, if you really wanted to try it,

24:56.440 --> 24:58.300
but not as complex as he's talking about it.

24:58.820 --> 25:03.620
And this exactly thing is just, grade, a total, 100% complete bullshit.

25:04.320 --> 25:12.240
Well, I mean, like, all right, so, you know, you said the dude was a skinhead radio host, or, yeah.

25:12.440 --> 25:16.560
So, you know, so let's say, you know, maybe the dude's under investigation.

25:16.920 --> 25:22.280
I could see a possible key logger, but as a kind of a general kind of,

25:23.060 --> 25:26.600
it's on everybody's machine kind of situation, I don't see that.

25:27.000 --> 25:29.740
You know, that's very true. I didn't actually think of that.

25:29.740 --> 25:36.940
But he says he's repairing his own PC card riser, or PCMCIA riser.

25:38.060 --> 25:41.460
And if someone installed that, that means they'd have to basically take his laptop,

25:41.740 --> 25:44.840
crack it open, re-solder this little thing in between there,

25:44.920 --> 25:47.260
and somehow figure out how to connect it to his Ethernet card.

25:47.520 --> 25:50.940
I think the whole function of his existence is to increase the general level of paranoia

25:50.940 --> 25:53.340
and uncertainty in the public consciousness.

25:53.820 --> 25:54.940
Oh, that's exactly what it is.

25:54.940 --> 25:57.100
Yeah, so this just fits in with that so perfectly.

25:57.660 --> 26:03.120
It would seem like, you know, one of the case scenarios would just be like,

26:03.160 --> 26:10.800
he's trying to credit himself a bit better, you know, like, you know, to be like,

26:10.880 --> 26:13.360
oh, you know, the government's kind of after me, so, you know,

26:13.400 --> 26:18.020
I do have some sort of credit because the government is looking into me, so.

26:18.120 --> 26:19.920
He wants his 15 minutes of fame.

26:20.740 --> 26:20.940
Yeah.

26:22.800 --> 26:28.120
And, you know, shit like that seems silly to me, but, you know.

26:28.740 --> 26:29.980
Yeah, it's silly.

26:32.040 --> 26:33.360
Yeah, I don't buy it.

26:33.940 --> 26:35.080
I don't buy it either.

26:35.080 --> 26:40.960
I think, I heard this story, and actually it was from a Tom Clancy novel,

26:41.140 --> 26:42.960
but he said that it was actually happening in real life,

26:43.080 --> 26:47.720
that the Israeli secret intelligence, in order to assassinate a terrorist once,

26:47.720 --> 26:51.620
he bought his cell phone in to be serviced,

26:51.980 --> 26:55.020
and they replaced it with an identical cell phone that worked completely,

26:55.780 --> 27:00.440
but it had a bomb attached, and it would only, like, explode if you basically called it

27:00.440 --> 27:02.180
and imported a certain DTMF sequence.

27:03.180 --> 27:07.240
And I just find that interesting, but I guess theoretically it could happen.

27:09.160 --> 27:12.500
Yeah, I mean, theoretically, sure, probably.

27:12.960 --> 27:16.060
Come on, who takes your cell phone to get serviced these days?

27:16.060 --> 27:19.960
Well, this was back in the early 90s when you had these.

27:19.960 --> 27:20.040
Ah, okay.

27:20.440 --> 27:22.020
It was a StarTAC flip phone, allegedly.

27:22.360 --> 27:23.600
Ah, and it cost, like, $4,000.

27:24.220 --> 27:24.480
Yeah.

27:24.880 --> 27:26.280
So, actually, when you got it serviced.

27:28.840 --> 27:31.200
So, yeah, take this as it is.

27:31.420 --> 27:32.040
Look at the pictures.

27:32.240 --> 27:32.960
Form your own opinions.

27:33.100 --> 27:34.640
I'm not saying I'm preaching everything.

27:34.820 --> 27:35.300
You never know.

27:35.480 --> 27:40.440
The Department of Homeland Security could have everything evil and stuff.

27:41.420 --> 27:44.020
But I really don't think so.

27:44.020 --> 27:44.600
I love that.

27:44.600 --> 27:50.460
But, you know, just the wiring job itself, personally, I think it's stupid.

27:51.940 --> 27:52.640
Either way.

27:53.880 --> 28:00.960
You know, like, also, like, you know, there's a much, like, so they have the little module in there,

28:01.080 --> 28:04.240
and, you know, it could work as a keylogger, but, like, you know,

28:04.300 --> 28:07.080
it's still an actual physical piece of hardware when, you know,

28:07.080 --> 28:09.160
you could be much more sneaky.

28:09.160 --> 28:15.200
Like, I've read papers on how people have written, like, basically BIOS patches.

28:15.820 --> 28:21.140
You know, you can infect the BIOS, and you could have, you know, code in there that, you know,

28:21.500 --> 28:26.060
once your machine gets turned on, you know, you can basically execute this little piece of code on there.

28:26.060 --> 28:33.520
But, you know, that, to me, would be a much cooler way to handle a keylogger of sorts, you know,

28:33.520 --> 28:35.420
to really be sneaky.

28:36.420 --> 28:37.960
It would be a much cooler route, you know.

28:38.380 --> 28:39.660
You just cost me $6,000.

28:40.800 --> 28:42.160
$6,000.

28:42.160 --> 28:49.040
So, yeah, well, also, also, now that you mention that with the whole BIOS patches and everything,

28:49.240 --> 28:53.480
it's a whole lot easier because there's apparently a piece of government spyware called,

28:54.200 --> 28:55.640
I believe it's called Magic Lantern,

28:56.720 --> 29:00.940
and allegedly all the antivirus companies, well, maybe not all of them,

29:00.940 --> 29:09.800
but definitely Symantec, McAfee, and there was some other major one out there that I can't remember right now.

29:09.800 --> 29:13.840
They all agreed, basically, that you put a backdoor in their code that says,

29:13.940 --> 29:16.240
if you see this, it's not a virus, ignore it.

29:16.320 --> 29:20.140
It's officially, like, an electronic-sensitive gathering thingy.

29:21.180 --> 29:21.540
Huh.

29:21.540 --> 29:22.340
So, you never know.

29:22.740 --> 29:24.740
It could be backdoored right now.

29:26.500 --> 29:36.640
And I think it would be a whole lot easier to do that rather than take out this evil keylogs logger thingy.

29:37.980 --> 29:38.380
Yeah.

29:38.900 --> 29:39.300
Yeah.

29:39.800 --> 29:42.000
I don't know.

29:42.080 --> 29:43.040
Time for hacking stories?

29:43.640 --> 29:44.520
Yeah, I think so.

29:44.620 --> 29:46.680
We're kind of just sort of ranting and raving on this.

29:48.260 --> 29:50.400
Well, I'll stir it off, as always.

29:51.000 --> 29:55.480
This Sunday, I went to the grand opening of the New Hampshire Telephone Museum.

29:55.940 --> 29:56.340
Ooh.

29:56.600 --> 29:57.500
With Red Nerd.

29:57.620 --> 29:59.980
And I have pictures up on my website if you want to check it out.

29:59.980 --> 30:05.420
I took gratuitous photos of the various phones they have there and their antique stepper switch.

30:05.420 --> 30:10.040
It was a lot of fun, and I went up with my friend Red Nerd and I.

30:10.040 --> 30:22.120
And we basically played along there and spent about two or three hours just sitting in this room with them and just talking to the guys and playing on their switch and locking up the step twice, and they had to clear it for us.

30:22.120 --> 30:25.160
I generally just had a good time.

30:25.500 --> 30:28.300
I have also been playing with a lot of ham radio stuff lately.

30:30.520 --> 30:31.200
Nerd alert.

30:31.200 --> 30:34.620
Hello, we're all nerds here.

30:35.340 --> 30:37.060
You're talking about on a hacking radio show.

30:37.140 --> 30:38.020
You're calling me the nerd.

30:38.100 --> 30:38.640
What the hell, man?

30:40.180 --> 30:40.880
Some people.

30:41.220 --> 30:41.620
The nerd.

30:43.660 --> 30:51.060
At some point, I will actually go ahead and narrate the high-quality digital recording I made at the Seattle Telephone Museum a year and a half ago.

30:52.000 --> 30:55.060
Of the step and the number five and the number one crossbar on the panel.

30:56.120 --> 30:56.940
We're all waiting.

30:57.560 --> 30:57.740
Yes.

30:57.740 --> 31:05.140
I was actually just happy because Strom very nicely sent me his raw copy, so I'll be listening to that while it work on Tuesday.

31:06.240 --> 31:06.900
Yeah, I've got to work on it.

31:06.900 --> 31:07.760
While probably editing the show.

31:07.980 --> 31:09.000
Yeah, it's kind of unlistenable.

31:09.880 --> 31:15.900
Anyway, my personal hacking story is I broke down and I bought one of those iPod battery replacement kits.

31:16.540 --> 31:20.820
My cousin came to me and he said, my iPod only lasts an hour these days.

31:20.920 --> 31:22.840
I said, well, let me try one of those battery replacement kits.

31:23.540 --> 31:26.320
So I bought from, what is it, iPodjuice.com.

31:26.320 --> 31:28.680
And it was a snap.

31:29.020 --> 31:30.300
iPodjuice with a J?

31:30.480 --> 31:32.020
Yeah, J-U-I-C-E.

31:32.340 --> 31:32.680
Okay.

31:32.800 --> 31:34.900
As in apple juice or orange juice or whatever.

31:34.900 --> 31:42.780
And it was amazingly easy to open up the iPod, remove the old battery, stick in the new one, snap it back together, and charge it up.

31:44.040 --> 31:45.300
You don't have to solder or anything?

31:45.740 --> 31:46.560
No, no soldering.

31:46.560 --> 31:59.020
Pretty much they give you a little blue plastic wedge doohickey thing that you squeeze in to the seam between the silvery part and the polycarbonate front.

31:59.760 --> 32:03.940
And you just kind of slowly, you gently wrench the silvery bit away from the front.

32:04.360 --> 32:09.640
And there are little tabs on the front part that snap into the metal bit in the back.

32:09.640 --> 32:13.400
So you just snap those off, and pretty much the whole back comes off.

32:14.900 --> 32:15.380
Interesting.

32:15.820 --> 32:20.100
Yeah, you remove the hard drive, which is just a connector that snaps on.

32:20.600 --> 32:23.600
And you unplug the old battery and replace it with the new one.

32:24.100 --> 32:24.240
Hmm.

32:27.460 --> 32:30.100
So assuming you don't have the shakes, it's a blast.

32:30.180 --> 32:30.620
It's a breeze.

32:31.080 --> 32:31.900
No, probably I do.

32:32.120 --> 32:34.940
But I'm never going to be a neurosurgeon.

32:35.020 --> 32:35.480
Look at it that way.

32:35.820 --> 32:36.940
Probably why I can't solder either.

32:36.940 --> 32:41.240
So, Stalin, have you done any computer hack story stuff this week?

32:43.600 --> 32:44.440
Not really.

32:44.780 --> 32:46.440
You know, just a lot of chilling.

32:46.900 --> 32:49.240
But the hack story stuff, no.

32:49.460 --> 32:52.720
I don't have any interesting stories this month or this week.

32:53.420 --> 32:54.680
It's a really tell.

32:55.900 --> 32:56.660
But you're just boring.

32:57.440 --> 32:58.100
Yeah, I am.

32:58.640 --> 33:00.880
You've got to get over it at some point.

33:01.320 --> 33:01.580
Yeah.

33:01.640 --> 33:02.320
What about you, Koresh?

33:04.480 --> 33:06.760
I've been working on a lot of things in the last week.

33:06.940 --> 33:11.540
I'm trying to bring myself back up from some personal dark spots.

33:12.940 --> 33:17.120
I've been fixing on other people's computers, which is, you know, one of those things I just love to do.

33:17.480 --> 33:17.980
Not really.

33:18.480 --> 33:19.280
Pays the bills, man.

33:19.360 --> 33:19.640
Yeah.

33:20.000 --> 33:24.380
If anyone out there wants me to fix their computer, I don't recommend bringing it to me in the next couple of weeks,

33:24.440 --> 33:25.860
because I'm going to tell you to screw.

33:25.860 --> 33:32.920
So, I've been working on a website for a friend involving some do-it-yourself projects in the Boston area,

33:33.000 --> 33:36.100
which is pretty cool, encompassing music and the arts and whatnot.

33:36.520 --> 33:38.240
And it's actually really cool.

33:38.340 --> 33:39.560
I'll let you guys know when it's all done.

33:39.560 --> 33:44.680
Um, today I actually re-listened to Robert Steele's talk from The Last Hope,

33:45.080 --> 33:47.480
because I missed half of it and never went back and listened to it,

33:47.500 --> 33:49.700
and I'm kind of pissed off that I had to leave during it.

33:49.840 --> 33:54.120
But, if you haven't heard it and you're actually, you know, interested in intelligence and whatnot,

33:54.220 --> 33:55.460
I definitely recommend checking it out.

33:55.620 --> 33:56.840
Well, what's the talk?

33:58.440 --> 33:59.220
What was the talk?

33:59.580 --> 33:59.860
Yeah.

33:59.860 --> 34:02.100
Uh, I'll give you the title of it.

34:02.120 --> 34:02.720
I think it's a long title.

34:02.800 --> 34:03.080
Hang on.

34:03.860 --> 34:05.280
Well, first off, what's it about?

34:05.480 --> 34:07.620
I mean, because Robert Steele means nothing to me.

34:08.800 --> 34:09.300
Oh, really?

34:09.340 --> 34:09.680
I'm sorry.

34:09.880 --> 34:13.440
Um, he's the guy who does all the, well, I don't really want to call it social engineering,

34:13.560 --> 34:18.120
but he does all, he was like the former, uh, a former government official and, you know,

34:18.120 --> 34:21.200
worked as, like, I don't want to say as a spy, but like a covert agent, whatever.

34:21.540 --> 34:23.660
Was over in, uh, was over in Asia for a while,

34:23.660 --> 34:28.160
and he just talks about just global intelligence and how the U.S. just falls short in, like, every category,

34:28.160 --> 34:30.480
as far as what we could be doing compared to what we are.

34:31.560 --> 34:36.840
The name of the talk was everything you wanted to know about spying 9-11 and why we continue to screw up.

34:38.320 --> 34:39.300
I'll have to check that out.

34:39.300 --> 34:40.340
And it's really, really long.

34:40.420 --> 34:43.140
It's over four hours, but it's definitely worth checking out because it's in front of me.

34:43.140 --> 34:43.380
Holy cow.

34:44.520 --> 34:48.240
Yeah, that's why I was only able to stay for a couple of hours because I had other stuff to do that day.

34:48.640 --> 34:49.200
I can imagine.

34:51.000 --> 34:52.100
Well, that's cool.

34:53.180 --> 34:54.920
Yes, definitely worth listening to.

34:55.660 --> 34:56.760
I'll be sure to listen to that.

34:56.760 --> 34:59.920
I'll put it right after, uh, Strom's, uh, Seattle Computer Museum tape.

35:02.200 --> 35:04.280
So, telephone museum, not a computer museum.

35:04.760 --> 35:05.560
Yeah, computer museum.

35:05.600 --> 35:07.300
It's called the Communications Museum now, isn't it?

35:07.540 --> 35:11.100
Yeah, the, um, it used to be the Seattle Telephone Museum.

35:11.100 --> 35:13.020
Now I think it's called the Museum of Communications.

35:13.680 --> 35:14.400
Yes, sorry.

35:14.540 --> 35:17.420
So it was the Seattle Communications Museum is what I was trying to say.

35:17.520 --> 35:20.620
I just, sort of, I guess I'm sort of hardwired to say computer.

35:22.420 --> 35:23.420
You phone freak you.

35:23.420 --> 35:29.260
Yes, so either way, our specific show topic tonight, we're talking about BSDs.

35:30.780 --> 35:37.420
And that's not some type of strange STD you can pick up, and speaking of Southern Asia, but...

35:37.420 --> 35:38.180
Oh, God.

35:40.080 --> 35:41.880
It's like a Bangkok down there, you know.

35:42.640 --> 35:45.160
It's a donkey show discussion here.

35:45.160 --> 35:55.960
So, I, I know nothing about BSD, which is why, why Koresh and Stalin are on tonight, because they're apparently BSD geeks.

35:57.640 --> 36:03.000
Not, not BSD geeks per se, but I dig, uh, BSD.

36:03.000 --> 36:12.640
But, uh, you know, to start off, uh, inclusively open BSD, because that's kind of, like, what I use, uh, for server, server platforms and such.

36:13.960 --> 36:18.060
Okay, well, let's, let's, let's start with the general question here.

36:18.180 --> 36:19.740
What, what is BSD?

36:21.080 --> 36:29.000
Uh, you know, BSD, uh, you know, develop, uh, at Berkeley, you know, Berkeley, uh, Berkeley, uh, Berkeley, uh...

36:29.000 --> 36:31.680
Well, systems distribution, as far as I remember correctly.

36:31.680 --> 36:34.440
Yeah, uh, I thought it was systems development or something like that.

36:35.580 --> 36:54.660
Uh, yeah, but, you know, develop the, you know, BSD, and, you know, um, all kinds of work's been done on it, and, you know, basically at this point, it's just, uh, you know, it has become, uh, one of those OS's that, you know, people, uh, well, I should say probably, like, Slashot just kind of battles over.

36:55.060 --> 36:57.960
Like, oh, you know, Linux is better, and BSD is better, and such.

36:58.460 --> 37:00.180
Wasn't BSD dialing?

37:00.180 --> 37:01.940
Uh, yeah, BSD.

37:01.940 --> 37:02.580
I read that on Slashdot.

37:02.700 --> 37:03.400
BSD's dying?

37:04.500 --> 37:04.900
What?

37:05.840 --> 37:08.100
Isn't BSD dying? I think I read that on Slashdot.

37:08.700 --> 37:11.160
Uh, uh, people on Slashdot say a lot of things.

37:12.280 --> 37:15.020
Wasn't, wasn't BSD based on AT&T System 5 Unix?

37:15.860 --> 37:20.520
Uh, from my recollection, yes, but I might be wrong.

37:21.080 --> 37:21.240
Um...

37:21.240 --> 37:22.440
No, it, it was. He's right.

37:22.440 --> 37:36.400
Yeah, but, um, at this point, you know, it's just a different kernel, um, that, you know, uh, a lot of people say Linux is a derivative of, uh, Unix.

37:36.400 --> 37:39.620
It's very Unix, you know, Unix-based.

37:40.080 --> 37:55.860
You know, uh, you know, the concept is, uh, you know, Linux is a different kernel, and, uh, you know, uh, the fucking OSes are just a, basically, a compilation of different tools based on the Linux kernel, so it's not really Unix-based.

37:55.860 --> 37:58.080
It's, you know, it's, you know, it's own kind of thing, but...

37:58.080 --> 37:59.360
Unix-like, that is.

38:00.180 --> 38:08.120
Yeah, I mean, I take it, you know, as a derivative, derivative work of Unix, but, you know, a lot of people disagree with me.

38:09.220 --> 38:16.400
Okay, so, the, the, the three BSDs that I know are OpenBSD, and NetBSD, and FreeBSD.

38:16.600 --> 38:23.880
Do, do, do, I, I know, like, OpenBSD is some type of uber-secure distribution, but, but, what's the difference between the three?

38:23.880 --> 38:28.520
Um, OpenBSD, you know, uh, you know, known for security.

38:28.660 --> 38:36.480
I think they didn't have a remote, uh, vulnerability in, like, uh, in their default install for, like, eight years or something like that.

38:36.860 --> 38:42.140
So, basically, they audit everything that's on their, uh, system.

38:42.320 --> 38:50.780
It's just massive, massive code reviews, and, you know, that's what they're kind of known for, and it's a very solid distribution.

38:50.780 --> 39:03.500
And, uh, FreeBSD, it's more for the, you know, still very acceptable as a server platform, but it's, you know, it's more usable, I would say, than, uh,

39:04.960 --> 39:08.720
OpenBSD is just, in some cases, friendlier.

39:08.720 --> 39:18.460
But, you know, it's still, it's still kind of a pain to set up and use, well, to me, anyway, because, what, uh, you know, one of my, you know,

39:18.560 --> 39:21.240
the platform I use the most, I would say, is be Linux.

39:21.680 --> 39:25.720
But when I have to use BSD, you know, I don't have a BSD box to work on.

39:26.220 --> 39:32.920
But, uh, you know, just trying to get one of those things working properly is, you know, a pain in the ass.

39:32.920 --> 39:34.680
And then there's NetBSD.

39:34.780 --> 39:37.600
NetBSD is just kind of known for running on everything.

39:38.320 --> 39:47.280
The, their thing is, uh, you know, you're, you know, uh, what's their slogan, uh, um, it probably runs, uh, NetBSD, or something.

39:47.460 --> 39:49.220
Of course it runs NetBSD.

39:49.600 --> 39:50.560
That's what it is.

39:51.060 --> 39:51.400
Yeah.

39:51.460 --> 39:55.940
And, you know, and, like, uh, I think, uh, I forget where I saw it.

39:55.940 --> 40:03.340
Like, they, some, some dude made a toaster that ran NetBSD, and I was like, well, you know, they finally did it.

40:03.420 --> 40:12.220
You know, everybody's been saying, you know, NetBSD probably runs on a toaster, and, you know, they finally pulled it off, and I was like, you know, good for them.

40:12.980 --> 40:16.660
So, uh, a toaster, a toaster that toast spread runs NetBSD.

40:17.200 --> 40:17.600
Yeah.

40:17.720 --> 40:21.080
You know, you can, you know, be running your website while you toast.

40:21.080 --> 40:25.800
Oh, not to get too far off topic here, um, in the latest issue of Wired,

40:25.940 --> 40:32.480
they have a toaster that also poaches an egg and cooks a piece of Canadian bacon, all at the same time.

40:33.440 --> 40:34.860
But does it run NetBSD?

40:36.780 --> 40:38.080
Of course it can.

40:38.180 --> 40:40.300
If it can do that, it can do anything.

40:41.520 --> 40:43.400
Of course it can run NetBSD.

40:45.680 --> 40:50.140
Yeah, uh, apparently it's a very, uh, minimalist, uh, OS.

40:50.140 --> 41:07.780
Like, I was talking, uh, to one of, uh, Koresh's friends, and he's pretty big into NetBSD, and basically says, you know, it's very, very small, but, you know, they have, uh, I forget what they call their ports to, uh, their port server, and, you know, I found there's a lot of stuff on that.

41:07.840 --> 41:09.700
Very, uh, you know, very nice.

41:09.700 --> 41:18.900
And they also, it's, uh, cross-platform compatible, so you can basically run it on, you know, Linux as well, which is kind of cool.

41:18.960 --> 41:25.100
I haven't tried it yet, but I am going to do it at some point, because, uh, I really like ports.

41:25.180 --> 41:26.620
It's a, it's a nice system.

41:27.080 --> 41:30.040
Like, uh, from the looks of it, it's just a, uh...

41:30.040 --> 41:31.480
What is ports, exactly?

41:31.480 --> 41:42.880
Ports, uh, is, uh, basically the, uh, package, uh, tool, uh, under, uh, well, not the package tool, it's the package, uh, the way to get packages, uh, for FreeBSD.

41:43.460 --> 41:54.480
And, basically, you have, uh, a directory on your system called ports, and there's just a bunch of folders on there, uh, for the different tools you need.

41:54.720 --> 42:00.620
So, let's say you need Apache, you go into ports, go into the Apache folder, and you build it, just make, make, install.

42:00.620 --> 42:11.600
And, basically, what it does, it goes and touches the latest, well, probably not the latest, but the version that ports has, uh, from, you know, the distribution site, like Apache.

42:11.680 --> 42:30.560
It'll go download Apache, but it also has a patch for it, so it can build properly under, uh, BSD, because there are, uh, differences between, uh, Linux and BSD that needs to, that you need to basically change in certain things for them to build properly.

42:30.620 --> 42:38.180
I think, like, the sockets are a bit different, and shit like that, that you need to change in the source for it to properly build.

42:39.060 --> 42:43.800
And, you know, it's very clean, you know, you, it's all from source, and it's very nice.

42:43.800 --> 42:52.140
Usually, some of the ports get maintained by the BSD developers, and it's cool.

42:52.400 --> 42:56.920
Like, some of, like, from what I've heard, some of the ports don't even work, though.

42:57.220 --> 43:01.280
It's kind of buggy, uh, from, from reports of some people.

43:01.360 --> 43:02.860
I haven't really had a problem with it.

43:02.860 --> 43:13.160
Just recently, I couldn't get dsniff to build, but I haven't had, uh, dsniff, uh, build successfully under any platform for a while since LibNet changed their API.

43:14.220 --> 43:25.040
But, you know, uh, you know, it's very cool, to say the least, and it just makes building packages under your system very easy.

43:25.040 --> 43:40.240
And, you know, it's source-based, so, you know, all the geeks that love to, you know, throw the O3 flag in there, and the dash-OMG, and the, you know, dash-pwnage, uh, flags, you know, can have a little go at it.

43:41.700 --> 43:45.660
Dude, if I ever make a software package, it's still going to have a dash-OMG option on it.

43:45.700 --> 43:51.280
I don't know what it's going to do, but it'll be, like, like, override, something actually that does something.

43:51.320 --> 43:52.660
It'll put it into script kitty mode.

43:53.320 --> 43:53.680
Exactly.

43:53.680 --> 43:54.300
There we go.

43:54.300 --> 43:58.240
Yeah, it'll, uh, you know, it'll have, like, you know, BO2K running on it.

43:58.680 --> 44:03.460
You know, we'll have some unique port of BO2K, and, you know, we'll just build it into the package.

44:03.860 --> 44:06.680
Just to make things, make life easier for everybody.

44:07.380 --> 44:10.340
So, so, I'm going to piss off a lot of people off here by saying this.

44:10.380 --> 44:11.880
So, basically, what it is, it's Gen 2.

44:12.340 --> 44:15.680
All it is, is basically a giant takeoff on the BSD port system.

44:18.700 --> 44:19.300
Kind of.

44:19.920 --> 44:22.160
Send your email to radio at binrev.com now.

44:22.160 --> 44:26.540
Yeah, I mean, like, not really.

44:26.660 --> 44:33.440
I mean, like, ports, you know, it's just, there's a set of packages, but, I mean, like, Gen 2, you know, their own little collective.

44:33.860 --> 44:37.580
But, I mean, I guess the concept is the same.

44:38.040 --> 44:38.220
Yes.

44:38.220 --> 44:42.200
Yeah, yeah, the concept is very similar, but, you know.

44:43.140 --> 44:44.200
Yeah, but do you blame them?

44:45.580 --> 44:46.180
Oh, I mean.

44:46.220 --> 44:47.880
I don't blame them in the least.

44:48.420 --> 44:50.500
Oh, no, no, no, I'm not saying it's actually a bad thing.

44:51.080 --> 45:00.360
Oh, actually, it'd be, it'd be more similar to their Emerge system, where you're, like, Emerge, such and such package, and, you know, it downloads it and builds it.

45:00.360 --> 45:07.500
And, and, basically, that's kind of the same concept, but without an actual tool and, you know, it's a, in directories and shit like that, so.

45:08.620 --> 45:13.060
Okay, so, well, that, I mean, that's what I was shooting for, was the whole Emerge system, is where I was drawing the similarity.

45:13.240 --> 45:18.260
So, basically, what ports is, is just sort of like a source repository, where there's no real automated tools.

45:18.260 --> 45:27.620
It's just, you download the package, you unzip it, and install it from source, and it should, it hopefully will all work, as much as any software package could.

45:28.640 --> 45:28.780
Yeah.

45:29.180 --> 45:30.600
You know, just, you know, cross your fingers.

45:31.040 --> 45:40.320
So, we're, we're saying right now that, um, BSD, well, like, net, net BSD, you can sort of, runs on anything, but, like, free BSD and open BSD are more server-based?

45:41.000 --> 45:41.400
Yeah.

45:41.700 --> 45:42.560
Rather than desktop?

45:43.780 --> 45:48.240
Yeah, um, BSD, well, that's, what?

45:48.720 --> 45:55.400
Yeah, they're, they're basically known for, uh, server stuff, um, not the friendliest desktop, I would say.

45:55.820 --> 46:04.840
I mean, I've been trying to get, uh, I just got, like, I scored a new laptop, and I, I installed free BSD, because, on it, because I was like, hey, why not?

46:05.200 --> 46:12.920
And, it's just a pain in the ass to get it to work, and it's not friendly at all.

46:12.920 --> 46:23.740
Like, my philosophy, when it comes to the stuff, you know, Linux is for desktop, you know, BSD is for server, and that shit's just kind of worked out for me very, very well.

46:23.860 --> 46:25.500
I've never had a problem with it, you know.

46:25.500 --> 46:33.900
So, Linux desktop, very nice, you know, there's plenty of people working on it, and, you know, they keep me happy.

46:34.400 --> 46:39.700
But, when it comes to BSD, they're, they're more anal when it comes to their development process.

46:39.700 --> 46:50.740
So, you know, the base, you know, like, BSD system is just very, very closed, and so, it's very stable.

46:51.240 --> 47:01.420
It's, uh, you know, not everybody just, uh, comes in, it's like, oh, dude, I totally wrote, you know, I'm taking this course, and, you know, I just learned this cool new trick,

47:01.580 --> 47:05.600
and I'm just going to write this cool kernel module, and it's going to throw it in Linux.

47:05.600 --> 47:12.860
Uh, no, it's, they're much more, you know, the source is much more closed, I would say.

47:12.960 --> 47:21.220
I mean, it's still open source, but they're much more anal about their development process, and, you know, they, you know, it's, it's very stable for server,

47:21.500 --> 47:31.080
but just getting the shit, like, uh, hardware compatibility, you know, most people run, you know, the, the big thing with Linux is, you know, uh, very,

47:31.080 --> 47:39.300
it's kind of like the, kind of the hacker OS, you know, everybody kind of likes to develop under it, and so, you have a lot of hardware support,

47:39.420 --> 47:44.860
like, you know, some dude goes and gets some video card, and, or, not video card, but, uh,

47:46.780 --> 47:48.620
some software gives him on his device.

47:49.460 --> 47:58.200
Yeah, so, and, you know, doesn't work, so, you know, oh, I'm going to write some module, and it's going to, and it's going to work, you know, fine,

47:58.200 --> 48:04.300
and, you know, he writes it, and goes and throws it somewhere, and people are like, oh, that's cool,

48:04.440 --> 48:10.260
you just added another module to the kernel source, to the latest, uh, tree build, and, you know,

48:10.320 --> 48:19.380
it makes life easier, yes, but does it make a more stable kernel? Uh, I don't think so, but that's just,

48:19.380 --> 48:28.180
that's my view on it, um, like, I've had a lot, a lot of success with the BSD servers, I mean,

48:28.200 --> 48:35.460
ports, like, makes life easier, of course, but, you know, I would never want to run that OS as a desktop system.

48:36.720 --> 48:43.940
Okay, so, basically, basically, what it is, is, while the kernel is open, for most of the BSDs, uh,

48:44.100 --> 48:50.320
what it is, is, you're, kind of, the kernel development is very slow and deliberate, as opposed to willy-nilly,

48:50.320 --> 48:56.060
and, and, all the kind of stuff that Linux has, like, there's no real, like, development branch for,

48:56.060 --> 48:58.720
uh, free BSD, that is.

48:59.800 --> 49:00.160
Yeah.

49:01.100 --> 49:04.560
Not, not, not, in order to upgrade the kernel, in order to make a patch on the kernel,

49:04.640 --> 49:06.260
you have to have a damn good reason to do so.

49:06.980 --> 49:11.320
Yeah, you, uh, you know, you gotta know the dude, uh, you know, buy him a couple of beers,

49:11.320 --> 49:16.240
and, uh, you know, if you're lucky, he might, uh, let you, uh, get in on the kernel,

49:16.240 --> 49:20.980
but, you know, there's a good chance that he'd still tell you to go fuck yourself, but, uh,

49:21.160 --> 49:22.700
The international currency.

49:24.760 --> 49:25.160
Yeah.

49:26.420 --> 49:28.320
So, that's, that's my take on it.

49:28.740 --> 49:34.700
Okay, so, so, say, for example, I'm, I'm sitting there, I'm, I'm ready to jump from Windows.

49:35.600 --> 49:39.620
What, what, I, I've never used Unix before, I'm ready to jump from Windows, what should I learn?

49:40.140 --> 49:42.800
Uh, should I choose Linux first, or should I choose BSD first?

49:42.800 --> 49:46.600
Like, what's, what's easier, and what, what should, what, what would, like, more suit me?

49:47.320 --> 49:51.900
Uh, Linux, by, you know, huge margins.

49:52.080 --> 49:56.900
Uh, BSD, you kind of need to know your shit, or it's going to eat you alive.

49:57.380 --> 50:03.280
I mean, there's times where I go to my corner and cry, because they just whip my ass so hard

50:03.280 --> 50:09.160
that I can't even handle it, and, you know, if you're new to the Unix environment,

50:09.160 --> 50:15.180
Linux has these very nice, like, oh, Red Hat Linux, I mean, well, Fedora at this point,

50:15.560 --> 50:16.800
and Android, you know, everything.

50:16.800 --> 50:17.300
You're dating yourself.

50:18.440 --> 50:28.020
And, uh, and, you know, it's very friendly, and, you know, it'll help you out through most of the way,

50:28.120 --> 50:32.800
you know, you don't need to use the shell that often, and when you do, you know, you can pull up Google,

50:32.800 --> 50:39.560
and, you know, it's, and, you know, a lot more people use it, I would think, than BSD,

50:39.880 --> 50:41.280
because, you know, it's much friendlier.

50:42.080 --> 50:48.020
And, you know, you'll have a much, a much more interesting time, you know, learning Linux

50:48.020 --> 50:51.980
than you'll have fighting with BSD to do what you want.

50:52.340 --> 50:57.200
And, you know, fighting is what you do with Linux, I mean, with BSD.

50:57.400 --> 51:00.740
Linux, you kind of play around with fighting BSD.

51:00.740 --> 51:06.700
You know, you'll have, you'll learn a lot more under Linux, because it's just easier to use.

51:07.180 --> 51:13.700
And, you know, once you have that kind of learned, you can, you know, start, uh, you're picking up

51:13.700 --> 51:20.320
on the subtle changes there is from BSD to Linux, and, you know, once you pick those up,

51:20.420 --> 51:21.500
you know, you'll have no problem.

51:22.500 --> 51:25.860
So, only experienced Linux users should use BSD.

51:26.660 --> 51:28.840
Oh, yeah, that's, that's, uh, that's what I say.

51:28.840 --> 51:33.820
Yeah, jumping into BSD for, before we jump into Linux is definitely a big mistake

51:33.820 --> 51:36.020
for 99.9% of the people out there.

51:36.460 --> 51:41.740
I mean, especially in a computer world where the distros are a hell of a lot friendlier

51:41.740 --> 51:43.680
than they were when I was trying to get into it.

51:44.800 --> 51:45.160
Amen.

51:45.280 --> 51:49.240
I mean, these guided installations and stuff like this, like, I'm, I'm kind of jealous,

51:49.600 --> 51:50.540
to tell you guys the truth.

51:50.540 --> 51:54.660
So, uh, yeah, stick with the Linux for now and then work your way up.

51:55.640 --> 51:59.800
Yeah, well, I mean, it, it, it very much sounds like, that, that's the impression I was getting

51:59.800 --> 52:06.400
too, that basically BSD is, is sort of like Linux was, oh, I'd say about five years ago.

52:07.300 --> 52:10.000
It, no, no nice graphical GUI installers.

52:10.060 --> 52:11.300
It was very straightforward.

52:11.680 --> 52:15.560
You basically, you downloaded Slackware on 20 floppy disks and you installed it and you

52:15.560 --> 52:16.420
prayed to God at work.

52:16.420 --> 52:22.340
Yeah, like, I think there's some teams that are trying to, like, bring, uh, BSD to the

52:22.340 --> 52:22.680
desktop.

52:22.800 --> 52:27.500
I think it's, I think that, uh, the project's called, like, Dragonfly, like, you know, don't

52:27.500 --> 52:32.720
quote me on this, but there's, yeah, or PC BSD or some, something like that.

52:32.820 --> 52:37.620
And they're trying to make the entire, the entire process friendlier and shit like that.

52:37.800 --> 52:45.880
And, you know, I think it's a very nice goal, uh, you know, trying to make BSD much nicer.

52:46.420 --> 52:52.260
But, uh, you know, at this point, I'd still, if you're new to it, I'd still stick with,

52:52.340 --> 52:53.500
uh, Linux.

52:53.720 --> 52:56.540
Just, just because of the hardware support, too.

52:56.680 --> 53:03.280
Uh, I mean, you know, BSD support, you know, for hardware, you know, decent in some cases.

53:03.280 --> 53:09.580
But, you know, if you don't have, like, an NVIDIA card or a 3Com card, uh, your life becomes

53:09.580 --> 53:10.340
more difficult.

53:10.340 --> 53:15.300
And, you know, if you're starting to get into it, you don't need, you don't need to

53:15.300 --> 53:21.300
battle for hours to try to, oh, find this one dude that lives in Russia out in the middle

53:21.300 --> 53:27.800
of Siberia, happens to write a module for BSD for your specific network card, and you

53:27.800 --> 53:32.700
have to download it, patch it to your kernel, and it just gets sloppy.

53:32.700 --> 53:37.120
And, you know, you, you probably have a much easier time just to go with Linux because

53:37.120 --> 53:38.080
of the hardware support.

53:38.840 --> 53:43.080
One more thing that I'm jealous about today is the fact that someone who wants to get started

53:43.080 --> 53:48.600
these days could seriously go and buy a second box for, like, 50 bucks and just have a second

53:48.600 --> 53:49.840
machine to experiment with.

53:49.900 --> 53:53.800
Because when I was getting into this stuff, um, we only had one machine in my house because

53:53.800 --> 53:56.500
computers back then were well over two grand, I'll say.

53:56.500 --> 54:00.160
And, uh, there was no chance in hell of you having a second machine.

54:01.980 --> 54:06.540
So today you can have your main machine and have the box you're experimenting on and just

54:06.540 --> 54:07.340
switch back and forth.

54:07.420 --> 54:10.840
And you can stay online and, you know, keep looking up anything, you know, any problems

54:10.840 --> 54:11.380
you run into.

54:11.480 --> 54:13.880
You can just research while you're playing with the second machine.

54:14.380 --> 54:15.040
Oh, yeah.

54:15.120 --> 54:22.560
See, and also if you're getting, just starting to get into Linux, um, that's probably one of

54:22.560 --> 54:31.500
the better recommendations is just have, like, go get some dudes, P166, you know, throw, you

54:31.500 --> 54:36.760
know, throw two network cards in it, throw Slackware, go look up, uh, how to use, you

54:36.760 --> 54:44.060
know, IP tables or, you know, there's, there's a script out there called RC Firewall for Slackware

54:44.060 --> 54:49.940
or, you know, it's not a Slackware thing, it's just a general Linux thing for IP tables and

54:49.940 --> 54:54.100
you can, you can build this router at your, you know, at your table connection.

54:54.100 --> 55:00.060
Like, this is how I got into Linux a couple of years ago was I built a router and threw

55:00.060 --> 55:06.840
it on there and basically just, oh, I need to, I want to have a little web page and so

55:06.840 --> 55:13.220
you start, you know, learning the different, you know, instances of, uh, Linux and, you

55:13.220 --> 55:18.040
know, it's very cool because you're like, oh, I want to manipulate this and, you know,

55:18.040 --> 55:24.180
you, you spend hours figuring out what you have to do to get it to go and it's, that's

55:24.180 --> 55:26.560
probably, well, that's the way I did it.

55:26.820 --> 55:34.760
I don't know if it will work for everybody but the, the true hacker in nature will kind

55:34.760 --> 55:40.060
of enjoy it much more than just kind of getting kicks out of a desktop but that's just me.

55:40.060 --> 55:47.260
So, what, what, you could really just do that for BSD too, so.

55:47.520 --> 55:48.200
Oh, yeah, like.

55:48.200 --> 55:49.020
It's just like drilling for Linux.

55:50.020 --> 55:50.140
Yeah.

55:50.140 --> 55:57.300
But you really did it more of a baptism by fire because if you're, uh, basically if you

55:57.300 --> 56:00.340
do something bad to it, your, your cable connection is down.

56:00.340 --> 56:02.760
So, it's, it's very, make sure it works first.

56:04.080 --> 56:04.480
Exactly.

56:04.660 --> 56:08.020
I mean, like, you know, if all comes to, you know, if all comes to work, you know, you

56:08.020 --> 56:12.520
can always just plug in video and start tinkering it with there but you do have to have some

56:12.520 --> 56:14.360
knowledge of it at some point.

56:14.440 --> 56:20.220
So, you know, keep Firefox open with a million tabbed windows, uh, all point to, like, how-to

56:20.220 --> 56:26.300
sites, uh, so, you know, that's, you know, the way it worked for me might not work for

56:26.300 --> 56:26.980
everybody though.

56:28.380 --> 56:32.080
Oh, also, live CDs, you know, want to play with Linux?

56:32.420 --> 56:33.000
Give it a shot.

56:33.960 --> 56:37.380
I always forget about those because those are really new to me.

56:38.060 --> 56:40.180
And one more reason I'm jealous of people today.

56:41.160 --> 56:42.220
Live CDs are fun.

56:42.460 --> 56:44.460
Do they have a, do you know if there's a BSD live CD?

56:45.380 --> 56:49.920
Uh, yeah, I think, I think Dragonfly also released a live CD to give it a shot with.

56:50.520 --> 56:52.220
BSD has one as well, I'm almost positive.

56:53.740 --> 56:55.080
Yeah, they, they probably do.

56:56.300 --> 56:57.800
I, I will have to try that out.

56:59.140 --> 57:05.160
So, okay, well, you, you basically said that Linux is kind of more fluid and easier to

57:05.160 --> 57:08.320
get set up, but, so what are the advantages of BSD over Linux?

57:09.220 --> 57:11.300
Why, why would I want to choose BSD rather than Linux?

57:11.980 --> 57:13.660
Server, uh, uh.

57:13.660 --> 57:14.180
As a server.

57:14.920 --> 57:15.160
Yeah.

57:15.720 --> 57:22.180
The, the security on the, the BSD platform, uh, in my opinion is much more solid, uh, you

57:22.180 --> 57:24.760
know, especially when you take into consideration like OpenBSD.

57:24.760 --> 57:29.520
Um, like, it's, it's very stable.

57:29.620 --> 57:33.140
Like, also, like, you know, I was talking about, like, you know, the development process

57:33.140 --> 57:35.560
where the kernel is kind of anal at times.

57:35.920 --> 57:36.120
Mm-hmm.

57:36.120 --> 57:38.000
You know, that plays into it as well.

57:38.060 --> 57:42.100
Like, you know, there's not some random hack that just kind of writes some code and throws

57:42.100 --> 57:43.140
it into the BSD kernel.

57:43.140 --> 57:46.700
It's a very, I would almost say professional.

57:47.480 --> 57:51.900
Like, you know, if BSD started asking for money, people would pay for it.

57:52.080 --> 57:53.780
It's, it's very nice.

57:54.520 --> 58:01.360
And, you know, the, some of the, like, you know, if you don't even get it for the security

58:01.360 --> 58:05.440
reasons, like, um, they also have, like, cool tools like, uh, PF.

58:05.440 --> 58:10.920
It's, PF is a very cool, well, a very nice, uh, firewall.

58:11.200 --> 58:13.320
And you can do a lot with it.

58:13.340 --> 58:14.140
It's very powerful.

58:14.140 --> 58:22.480
And the language, uh, they use to write the config files is very fluid and almost English-like

58:22.480 --> 58:25.440
and just makes your life a lot easier.

58:25.860 --> 58:34.120
And it's, you know, they also have, uh, things like, uh, OpenBGPD, which is a routing protocol.

58:34.840 --> 58:41.900
Uh, so, so if you needed to build a router just to do, like, very, uh, high-end routing,

58:41.900 --> 58:48.220
so, like, let's say you wanted to interface with a Cisco router, you could use, uh, BGP to

58:48.220 --> 58:49.040
communicate with it.

58:49.040 --> 58:51.840
I think, uh, I think it also might do OSPF.

58:52.120 --> 58:53.120
Not sure on that, though.

58:53.580 --> 58:58.660
But, you know, stuff like that, uh, just makes it a very stable server platform.

58:59.840 --> 59:06.360
And, um, uh, you know, things like, things that are just kind of nice, uh, with, uh, let's

59:06.360 --> 59:12.460
say OpenBSD, uh, you know, comes with built-in, uh, stack protection, uh, called WX, I believe.

59:12.840 --> 59:16.360
You know, Red Hat, I think, at this point has, uh, EFC Shield.

59:17.740 --> 59:18.880
Yeah, they do, I think.

59:19.040 --> 59:24.800
Um, I don't think it's been ported to Fedora, but they also do, like, um, embedded, uh, you

59:24.800 --> 59:30.520
know, crypto, and, and just all this other stuff that just Linux distributions haven't

59:30.520 --> 59:36.180
really done, because, you know, it, you know, it does take some of the usability away, but,

59:36.380 --> 59:39.860
you know, it's very nice if you need to keep yourself from getting owned.

59:40.240 --> 59:45.400
I mean, you're pretty long inevitable, yes, but, you know, are you going to make life much

59:45.400 --> 59:46.100
harder for people?

59:46.760 --> 59:47.500
Uh, of course.

59:48.120 --> 59:48.340
I mean, here's...

59:48.340 --> 59:50.620
How many Lux are you going to use, one or 15?

59:51.360 --> 59:52.020
What was that?

59:52.260 --> 59:55.260
How many Lux do you want to use, one or 15, on your door?

59:56.900 --> 59:57.920
Uh, 15.

59:58.300 --> 59:58.920
Yeah, exactly.

59:58.920 --> 01:00:09.380
Um, like, also, I remember seeing, uh, a NetCraft survey a while ago of, like, uh, attacks

01:00:09.380 --> 01:00:15.700
under different platforms, and basically you see, like, the two, like, it was, like, over

01:00:15.700 --> 01:00:21.040
a period of time, and basically you had Linux and Windows basically up top and, you know,

01:00:21.040 --> 01:00:22.160
going up and down.

01:00:22.160 --> 01:00:27.460
But then, at the way bottom, there was just, like, this whole line that, you know, went

01:00:27.460 --> 01:00:32.200
up and down every once in a while, but kind of stayed stable, and it was BSD, and it's

01:00:32.200 --> 01:00:39.560
just kind of one of those people have kind of learned to fear BSD, so, uh, you know, that

01:00:39.560 --> 01:00:44.440
your chances of, uh, getting owned by some random dude on the Internet, uh, some worm or

01:00:44.440 --> 01:00:46.820
bot are much less reduced.

01:00:46.820 --> 01:00:53.680
And the, uh, uh, open, well, I say this for OpenBSD, I don't, I'm not sure about, uh, free

01:00:53.680 --> 01:00:56.940
and that, but a lot of their services are TrueRooted.

01:00:58.320 --> 01:01:05.600
Uh, uh, TrueRoot, um, all right, let me say, uh, TrueRoot is a way to basically separate

01:01:05.600 --> 01:01:09.580
the application you're running, uh, from the rest of the system.

01:01:09.680 --> 01:01:13.500
It creates its own, uh, file system under your own.

01:01:13.500 --> 01:01:20.960
Um, so, if somebody was to, say, found an Oday in Apache and compromised your server, they

01:01:20.960 --> 01:01:26.240
would only have access to the directory, uh, Apache was built under, under the TrueRoot

01:01:26.240 --> 01:01:26.600
jail.

01:01:27.200 --> 01:01:32.680
So, and, so, they have access to that, but they don't have access to the rest of your

01:01:32.680 --> 01:01:33.040
system.

01:01:33.420 --> 01:01:37.020
The rest of the system is completely cut off from that little jail.

01:01:37.600 --> 01:01:42.000
Uh, from, from a lot of here, there are ways to break out of a jail, but it's hard.

01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:47.760
And, and, you know, so if you get, you know, hit by a worm, not much chance that it'll do

01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:48.980
real damage to your system.

01:01:49.340 --> 01:01:54.680
So, if basically what a TrueRoot jail was, if, if a script kitty takes down your, uh, takes

01:01:54.680 --> 01:01:58.580
down your Apache web server, they're not going to be able to, say, get into your home directory

01:01:58.580 --> 01:02:04.600
or, uh, get, get, hopefully, unless they really know what they're doing, get further onto your

01:02:04.600 --> 01:02:04.860
system.

01:02:05.520 --> 01:02:08.020
Yeah, you know, they're not going to be able to touch your passwords.

01:02:08.020 --> 01:02:12.620
They're not going to touch anything, really, just that one directory they got themselves

01:02:12.620 --> 01:02:12.940
into.

01:02:13.160 --> 01:02:18.760
And, you know, if you don't have anything on there, like a compiler, you know, a shell,

01:02:19.040 --> 01:02:22.780
or anything like that, they're just, they're going to have nothing to work with.

01:02:23.080 --> 01:02:27.420
So, they just get to sit there and twiddle their thumbs.

01:02:27.420 --> 01:02:35.540
Things like that just make, uh, like, um, you know, you'll have troubles, uh, with a TrueRoot

01:02:35.540 --> 01:02:39.620
jail because you'll want to do something, and then you realize, oh, wait, no, that's under

01:02:39.620 --> 01:02:44.960
a TrueRoot jail, and I can't really have anything outside the jail to, you know, actually, you

01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:47.760
know, to be able to access it outside the jail.

01:02:47.900 --> 01:02:53.080
So, you have to really think about how you want your setup to be, and that's just kind of

01:02:53.080 --> 01:02:59.120
one of the things, you know, you usually don't have to think about under Linux, uh, you

01:02:59.120 --> 01:03:00.820
know, because a lot of people just don't build.

01:03:01.420 --> 01:03:05.240
It is possible TrueRoot, most of your, uh, TrueRoot services on Linux.

01:03:05.380 --> 01:03:06.100
I, I've done it.

01:03:06.700 --> 01:03:07.100
Oh, yeah.

01:03:07.240 --> 01:03:07.840
In the architecture of the flag tournament.

01:03:08.020 --> 01:03:12.180
I mean, it's not completely impossible, but I, I would assume that with OpenBSD, since

01:03:12.180 --> 01:03:15.200
it's all set up initially, you don't have to worry about a lot of the things that you

01:03:15.200 --> 01:03:16.360
would have to worry about under Linux.

01:03:17.020 --> 01:03:17.380
Exactly.

01:03:17.580 --> 01:03:24.240
I mean, yeah, yeah, you can, uh, you can do it, uh, under Linux, of course, but, uh, OpenBSD

01:03:24.240 --> 01:03:25.120
kind of does it for you.

01:03:25.600 --> 01:03:30.100
It's already set up, and you just kind of have to, uh, think about how you're, how the,

01:03:30.760 --> 01:03:34.300
how everything's going to be set up to really get it to work efficiently and properly.

01:03:35.420 --> 01:03:35.600
Hmm.

01:03:36.680 --> 01:03:39.380
So, okay, well, that, that, that's pretty cool.

01:03:40.460 --> 01:03:44.620
Uh, are there, like, I mean, you were talking about the port system before.

01:03:44.620 --> 01:03:49.580
Are there, are there lots of software under the ports thing, or is this just, like, you

01:03:49.580 --> 01:03:51.580
know, 10 programs maintained by...

01:03:51.580 --> 01:03:54.400
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, there's, there's a lot of stuff there.

01:03:54.520 --> 01:03:59.440
Um, I, I think, like, the last time I looked, there was, like, 5,600 packages under ports.

01:03:59.860 --> 01:04:03.320
I might be wrong, though, don't quote me on this, because, you know, there's going to

01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:08.320
be some dude that's going to be, like, uh, that Stalin dude was talking out of his ass,

01:04:08.780 --> 01:04:12.020
and so, um, yeah, there is a lot.

01:04:12.020 --> 01:04:15.760
Like, it's cool, because it's all separated into different categories, like, if you need

01:04:15.760 --> 01:04:16.940
audio tools, that's there.

01:04:17.140 --> 01:04:19.760
If you need security tools, also there.

01:04:20.180 --> 01:04:27.200
That's why I wanted to use OpenBSD, because I know, like, oh, if I need some tools for,

01:04:27.300 --> 01:04:30.460
you know, whatever reason, I can just go under ports, and they probably have it.

01:04:30.520 --> 01:04:37.000
You know, they have all the cool stuff, like, you know, Nessus, and, uh, you know, all, just

01:04:37.000 --> 01:04:38.180
a shitload of stuff there.

01:04:38.180 --> 01:04:41.300
Uh, and, you know, if you need something, there's a good chance that it's under ports.

01:04:42.800 --> 01:04:48.300
Um, yeah, like, audio tools, uh, GUI tools, uh, you know, you name it, it's probably there.

01:04:50.860 --> 01:04:51.720
Well, okay.

01:04:51.720 --> 01:04:53.980
Well, I mean, this sounds pretty cool.

01:04:54.620 --> 01:04:56.400
Uh, do you have any good websites?

01:04:57.880 --> 01:05:03.040
Um, I mean, not the, not the near standard, you know, OpenBSD.org, their, uh, their documentation

01:05:03.040 --> 01:05:09.660
is usually pretty solid, um, pre-BSD as well, um, let me see.

01:05:09.660 --> 01:05:19.540
Uh, oh, there's also, like, a BSD forum page, but I can't remember it right now.

01:05:19.640 --> 01:05:24.780
I mean, as usual, you can always try out the IRC channels, but, you know, I mean, standard,

01:05:25.060 --> 01:05:30.560
you know, usually the sites that run the distributions are pretty well-maintained.

01:05:30.560 --> 01:05:35.460
Their documentation is usually pretty good, so, you know, if you had this problem, probably

01:05:35.460 --> 01:05:39.900
a hundred thousand people have already had this problem, and, you know, the guys have

01:05:39.900 --> 01:05:41.520
probably written something about it.

01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:42.800
And it still hasn't been fixed?

01:05:42.940 --> 01:05:45.820
That's, that's not a good sign of a hundred thousand people that it hasn't been fixed yet?

01:05:46.480 --> 01:05:48.280
Well, they have 12.

01:05:48.300 --> 01:05:50.120
Uh, uh, uh, uh, I just missed the whole of BSD.

01:05:51.140 --> 01:05:52.720
BlackRatchet at BlackRatchet.org.

01:05:53.500 --> 01:05:58.280
Okay, I also recommend, um, Google Groups to people, because that's what I used years and

01:05:58.280 --> 01:06:02.480
years ago, before Google even had anything to do with it, before Google even existed,

01:06:03.120 --> 01:06:04.660
was the, uh, the News Groups.

01:06:04.660 --> 01:06:10.180
That's your best bet, and I think it still is, but check out the websites, too, because

01:06:10.180 --> 01:06:12.780
there's still a lot of documentation on different forums and whatnot.

01:06:13.460 --> 01:06:15.800
What was Google Groups before it was Google Groups?

01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:17.760
It was like, wasn't it Deja News or something?

01:06:18.820 --> 01:06:19.140
Yes.

01:06:19.500 --> 01:06:20.340
Yes, okay, that was it.

01:06:20.340 --> 01:06:22.120
Yeah, Deja had it for a long time.

01:06:22.520 --> 01:06:23.180
Deja News.

01:06:23.180 --> 01:06:24.840
Wow, I'm really dating myself there.

01:06:26.380 --> 01:06:26.780
Huh.

01:06:27.080 --> 01:06:30.640
Okay, well, hopefully we convinced more than a couple people to run DSD tonight.

01:06:31.780 --> 01:06:35.820
Yeah, you know, it's, it's, it's definitely a fun platform to basically learn.

01:06:35.820 --> 01:06:40.020
Uh, you'll get, you'll get annoyed at some of the differences, uh, between some of the

01:06:40.020 --> 01:06:43.560
commands from, uh, if you've, if you've used, uh, Linux before.

01:06:43.900 --> 01:06:44.160
Who fell off?

01:06:44.160 --> 01:06:46.380
Like, uh, like, uh, huh?

01:06:46.740 --> 01:06:46.920
What?

01:06:47.260 --> 01:06:48.220
Someone just fell off?

01:06:48.360 --> 01:06:48.500
Yeah.

01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:49.960
I bet it was, I bet it was Scott.

01:06:50.960 --> 01:06:51.800
12721.

01:06:51.800 --> 01:06:54.520
Yeah, so, uh, you know.

01:06:54.520 --> 01:06:55.200
Just start from the top.

01:06:57.300 --> 01:06:58.660
Wait, what was I talking about?

01:06:59.220 --> 01:07:00.920
How, how, how BSD is cool.

01:07:00.940 --> 01:07:01.340
Who is this?

01:07:02.140 --> 01:07:02.420
Huh?

01:07:03.020 --> 01:07:04.260
How BSD is cool.

01:07:04.340 --> 01:07:05.180
How is BSD cool?

01:07:07.040 --> 01:07:08.020
Oh, um.

01:07:08.680 --> 01:07:10.320
Hopefully, there's how it started.

01:07:10.620 --> 01:07:12.820
Hopefully we convinced some people to run BSD tonight.

01:07:14.020 --> 01:07:18.180
Yeah, uh, it's, you know, definitely, uh, worthwhile checking.

01:07:18.460 --> 01:07:18.680
What?

01:07:19.400 --> 01:07:19.720
Wow.

01:07:19.820 --> 01:07:20.120
Jesus.

01:07:20.940 --> 01:07:21.580
It's, it's Scott.

01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:23.300
Or, correct, whatever you want to call him.

01:07:24.380 --> 01:07:24.700
Huh.

01:07:26.080 --> 01:07:26.900
Well, yeah.

01:07:28.040 --> 01:07:28.400
Um.

01:07:28.520 --> 01:07:29.300
Well, wait, hold on.

01:07:29.320 --> 01:07:29.780
Just wait until we.

01:07:30.860 --> 01:07:31.500
Joint's back?

01:07:31.800 --> 01:07:32.080
Yeah.

01:07:33.460 --> 01:07:33.940
All right.

01:07:35.160 --> 01:07:36.900
Are you talking about his mobile phone or something?

01:07:37.380 --> 01:07:37.900
Yes, he is.

01:07:37.900 --> 01:07:38.360
He only has a.

01:07:38.360 --> 01:07:38.980
I have a mobile phone.

01:07:39.060 --> 01:07:40.500
It's been cutting out all night for some reason.

01:07:40.600 --> 01:07:41.160
It never does it.

01:07:42.200 --> 01:07:43.680
Yeah, you need to get, yeah, exactly.

01:07:43.800 --> 01:07:44.620
You need to get VoIP running.

01:07:45.040 --> 01:07:45.400
Exactly.

01:07:45.740 --> 01:07:46.000
Yeah.

01:07:46.000 --> 01:07:47.540
Okay.

01:07:48.540 --> 01:07:51.280
So, three, two, one.

01:07:51.540 --> 01:07:55.200
Well, uh, so hopefully we convinced some people to run BSD tonight.

01:07:56.160 --> 01:07:56.900
Yeah, yeah.

01:07:57.100 --> 01:07:59.780
Um, you know, it's definitely cool, uh, worthwhile to check out.

01:07:59.780 --> 01:08:04.520
You'll, you'll, you'll get to learn some of the annoyances from the different, uh, operating

01:08:04.520 --> 01:08:05.960
systems like, uh, BSD to Linux.

01:08:06.040 --> 01:08:11.640
If you've, if you've used Linux before and you use BSD, you'll get to notice, uh, you

01:08:11.640 --> 01:08:15.840
know, some of the annoyances like, uh, route, route's definitely different, you know, and

01:08:15.840 --> 01:08:20.740
there's just a ton of different things that are just, that are, that are exactly the

01:08:20.740 --> 01:08:24.000
same, but there's just like this one little tweak they did.

01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:29.880
And, and, and, it will drive you up the wall just being like, why doesn't that work?

01:08:30.840 --> 01:08:31.400
But, you know.

01:08:31.400 --> 01:08:36.240
Well, it's just more of, like, the, uh, uh, the syntax has changed for everything.

01:08:36.420 --> 01:08:40.080
It's, I mean, if you, if you went from pre-BSD to Linux, you'd, you'd probably run into the

01:08:40.080 --> 01:08:40.540
same wall.

01:08:41.280 --> 01:08:42.140
Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely.

01:08:42.880 --> 01:08:47.040
But, you know, you'll, you'll still be able to navigate your way through it and, you know,

01:08:47.040 --> 01:08:51.960
you'll, you'll learn some new stuff and, you know, hopefully you'll, you know, start

01:08:51.960 --> 01:08:58.680
using a BSD server instead of, uh, you know, your standard Linux, uh, Linux box for server.

01:08:59.040 --> 01:09:00.860
Uh, uh, that's just my take on it.

01:09:01.160 --> 01:09:03.000
Well, I'm, I'm, I may start using BSD.

01:09:03.280 --> 01:09:03.840
You never know.

01:09:04.400 --> 01:09:07.600
I'll have to, I'll have to take one of my spare boxes I have sitting around in my room

01:09:07.600 --> 01:09:09.020
and fire it up and see what happens.

01:09:09.820 --> 01:09:11.860
Okay, so, all right, announcements.

01:09:12.360 --> 01:09:12.700
Let's see.

01:09:12.760 --> 01:09:13.680
Strom, do you have any announcements?

01:09:14.240 --> 01:09:21.940
Well, let's see, um, I guess I'll re-announce the possible binrev 7661.

01:09:21.960 --> 01:09:29.160
Uh, K-L-E-S-S, that's K-A-H-L-E-S-S, plus meeting at gmail.com.

01:09:29.640 --> 01:09:34.000
If you're in the Inland Empire or the High Desert and you're interested in a binrev meeting,

01:09:34.600 --> 01:09:35.120
mail him.

01:09:35.140 --> 01:09:37.440
Oh, wait, wait a second, did you just say 7661?

01:09:38.400 --> 01:09:38.920
Yeah.

01:09:39.720 --> 01:09:40.200
Oh.

01:09:41.000 --> 01:09:41.620
No shit.

01:09:43.180 --> 01:09:47.080
I'm, I fucking, I come from the fucking 7661.

01:09:47.540 --> 01:09:49.320
7661 is my fucking homeland.

01:09:49.540 --> 01:09:50.940
Where specifically do you come from?

01:09:51.580 --> 01:09:52.260
Uh, Palm Desert.

01:09:52.920 --> 01:09:53.560
Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:09:53.560 --> 01:09:53.920
Uh, I know.

01:09:54.340 --> 01:09:57.940
This is Victorville, Apple Valley, um, Hesperia area.

01:09:57.940 --> 01:10:00.080
Victorville, Hesperia area.

01:10:00.700 --> 01:10:03.840
And just to re-announce, I'm not sure if you're enunciating it correct.

01:10:04.140 --> 01:10:10.100
You're saying it, but just to make sure people understand, that's K-A-H-L-E-S-S,

01:10:10.100 --> 01:10:15.500
the plus symbol, M-E-E-T-I-N-G, at gmail.com.

01:10:16.720 --> 01:10:20.000
Because it's, apparently, I think that's, I think that's a way of sorting stuff on Gmail.

01:10:21.020 --> 01:10:21.380
Is it?

01:10:21.780 --> 01:10:24.520
I know that, I know that's a way of sorting stuff on certain mail systems.

01:10:24.600 --> 01:10:25.900
I assume that Gmail might support it.

01:10:25.960 --> 01:10:26.560
I, I don't know.

01:10:26.560 --> 01:10:30.820
Or maybe there's, or maybe there's just some way of having, you know, K-Less Plus Meeting.

01:10:31.600 --> 01:10:31.800
Uh-huh.

01:10:31.900 --> 01:10:33.160
Maybe there's a separate account.

01:10:33.300 --> 01:10:34.200
He's just cool like that.

01:10:35.560 --> 01:10:38.160
He could just do BR760 at gmail.com.

01:10:38.380 --> 01:10:38.740
I don't know.

01:10:39.740 --> 01:10:40.340
Either way.

01:10:40.340 --> 01:10:42.480
Koresh, do you have any announcements?

01:10:44.400 --> 01:10:44.800
Announcements?

01:10:46.360 --> 01:10:47.900
MIT flea on Sunday.

01:10:48.680 --> 01:10:50.960
Everybody get down there if you're from Boston area.

01:10:51.500 --> 01:10:52.540
It's the last one of the year.

01:10:52.640 --> 01:10:53.720
It's going to be some good times.

01:10:54.460 --> 01:10:56.800
We, we will be there, and we will be in Hawaiian shirts.

01:10:59.460 --> 01:11:00.580
Oh, God damn.

01:11:00.580 --> 01:11:03.620
Oh, why?

01:11:03.980 --> 01:11:05.640
Why do I live in Massachusetts?

01:11:06.640 --> 01:11:07.040
Why?

01:11:10.340 --> 01:11:11.100
Oh, screw you.

01:11:11.180 --> 01:11:12.280
I'm going to be in a Hawaiian shirt.

01:11:12.400 --> 01:11:13.500
Screw you all if you don't want to be there.

01:11:14.360 --> 01:11:18.480
Oh, October 21st, there's a BINREV meeting, Framingham, Massachusetts.

01:11:19.720 --> 01:11:22.680
Details are on the site and the forums under the meetings category.

01:11:23.880 --> 01:11:29.380
And I'm going to have a little more information next week regarding the local,

01:11:29.380 --> 01:11:34.140
for the 617-978-781ers, about the Bukake meeting.

01:11:35.900 --> 01:11:36.720
That's all for me.

01:11:37.420 --> 01:11:37.960
Yes, yes.

01:11:38.020 --> 01:11:39.720
We started a new group in Boston.

01:11:39.720 --> 01:11:48.320
It's the Boston users of cool computers and crazy electronics, otherwise known as Bukake.

01:11:50.080 --> 01:11:50.820
Oh, God.

01:11:52.440 --> 01:11:53.420
There's my announcements.

01:11:54.020 --> 01:11:55.540
Do we have the website up yet?

01:11:56.620 --> 01:11:57.300
No, it's not.

01:11:57.640 --> 01:11:58.320
Oh, it's not up yet.

01:11:58.360 --> 01:11:59.220
Okay, we'll save the website.

01:11:59.420 --> 01:12:01.500
I'll make the announcement as soon as we have the website up.

01:12:02.180 --> 01:12:02.420
All right.

01:12:02.460 --> 01:12:04.600
Also, when's the next blue meeting?

01:12:07.180 --> 01:12:08.260
Who cares?

01:12:09.720 --> 01:12:14.540
The Boston Linux user group is having a meeting eventually.

01:12:15.060 --> 01:12:15.900
Hold on, hold on.

01:12:16.140 --> 01:12:21.120
Yeah, if anybody from Massachusetts actually cares, there's a website called BugC.

01:12:21.320 --> 01:12:24.720
It's B-U-G-C.org, I believe.

01:12:24.940 --> 01:12:28.480
And it lists all of the Boston area user groups and their meetings.

01:12:29.840 --> 01:12:30.100
Oh.

01:12:30.100 --> 01:12:37.280
Boston Linux user group, October 19th, will be having the meeting at 7 p.m., MIT Building

01:12:37.280 --> 01:12:39.340
E-5-1, Room 3-1-5.

01:12:39.420 --> 01:12:42.960
It's going to be Ubuntu Linux with Benjamin McOhill.

01:12:43.640 --> 01:12:44.500
Oh, fuck that.

01:12:44.740 --> 01:12:46.020
In the 3-1-5 area.

01:12:46.840 --> 01:12:48.480
Will they be serving punch and pie?

01:12:48.480 --> 01:12:51.120
I'm not sure if punch and pie will be served.

01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:52.660
Oh, all right.

01:12:53.320 --> 01:12:56.040
Boy, our announcement section just sort of delved into chaos.

01:12:57.540 --> 01:13:00.760
Yeah, I think, actually, Karsh carried all my announcements.

01:13:01.700 --> 01:13:02.260
One more.

01:13:03.540 --> 01:13:10.820
You know, if you go to 2600, you know, from a different area code, come down to pound 2600

01:13:10.820 --> 01:13:20.340
United on EFNAT, you can go to the website, right, it's www.boston2600.org slash united.

01:13:21.380 --> 01:13:26.600
Might be down at the moment, but it should be up rather shortly.

01:13:27.460 --> 01:13:31.420
You can email me at 2600united at gmail.com.

01:13:31.880 --> 01:13:32.740
You know, say what's up.

01:13:33.060 --> 01:13:36.440
You know, tell us what meeting you're from, what you're working on, and all that other

01:13:36.440 --> 01:13:36.760
stuff.

01:13:37.480 --> 01:13:38.680
You know, love to hear from you.

01:13:38.680 --> 01:13:39.820
I hope we do.

01:13:40.820 --> 01:13:48.700
Yes, if you're active in 2600, email 2600united at gmail.com, and just say who you are, where

01:13:48.700 --> 01:13:52.000
you're from, and when you're meeting at, because we're just trying to do a nice comprehensive

01:13:52.000 --> 01:13:52.360
list.

01:13:55.240 --> 01:13:57.540
So, I guess that's it.

01:13:57.560 --> 01:13:58.400
Do we have any other announcements?

01:14:00.420 --> 01:14:00.700
No.

01:14:01.280 --> 01:14:01.760
Cat sex.

01:14:02.400 --> 01:14:02.940
Yes, okay.

01:14:03.300 --> 01:14:03.960
We'll edit that out.

01:14:05.420 --> 01:14:05.820
Shouts.

01:14:07.820 --> 01:14:08.320
I don't know.

01:14:08.320 --> 01:14:10.220
I'm going to send just regular shouts out to everyone.

01:14:10.620 --> 01:14:11.280
You know who you are.

01:14:11.920 --> 01:14:14.540
Shouts to the hack and slash, who sucks.

01:14:14.740 --> 01:14:15.680
Hack and slash sucks.

01:14:15.980 --> 01:14:20.560
Going to have a hack and slash sucks episode coming up soon, just for him.

01:14:21.520 --> 01:14:25.560
I don't know why I said that, but it was something that we were discussing on the channel.

01:14:25.780 --> 01:14:26.120
I don't know why.

01:14:26.140 --> 01:14:26.920
I have to live up to it.

01:14:27.340 --> 01:14:28.880
Yeah, we're going to have a hack and slash sucks episode.

01:14:28.960 --> 01:14:32.700
We're going to have hack on the radio show and just say hack and slash sucks the entire

01:14:32.700 --> 01:14:33.000
time.

01:14:33.000 --> 01:14:35.180
That'll be episode 125.

01:14:35.460 --> 01:14:35.860
There we go.

01:14:37.580 --> 01:14:38.420
Strom, do you have any shouts?

01:14:40.240 --> 01:14:43.640
Shouts to everyone whom I've promised shouts in the past.

01:14:45.320 --> 01:14:45.720
Stalin?

01:14:46.600 --> 01:14:52.100
Uh, shouts out to mostly, uh, uh, all the dudes in the, uh, the 617 area, you know, Boston

01:14:52.100 --> 01:14:53.700
2600 and such.

01:14:55.500 --> 01:14:58.560
Yeah, and that's, uh, uh, huh?

01:14:58.900 --> 01:14:59.100
Okay.

01:14:59.640 --> 01:14:59.960
All right.

01:15:00.740 --> 01:15:01.140
Koresh?

01:15:01.940 --> 01:15:03.580
Yeah, I'm, um, going for the same.

01:15:03.780 --> 01:15:05.260
Shouts to the whole Boston family.

01:15:05.880 --> 01:15:06.860
Sliced niggas especially.

01:15:08.160 --> 01:15:13.100
And, uh, also shout out to my lady friend who was cool enough to not give me shit about

01:15:13.100 --> 01:15:15.620
staying home and being on a goddamn radio show tonight.

01:15:16.180 --> 01:15:17.060
Indeed, indeed.

01:15:17.320 --> 01:15:19.460
A fine example of code switching if I've ever heard one.

01:15:20.560 --> 01:15:20.920
Okay.

01:15:20.920 --> 01:15:22.260
Um, site of the week.

01:15:22.360 --> 01:15:27.000
We got this off the, the white supremacist, uh, uh, uh, radio show site.

01:15:27.320 --> 01:15:29.840
It's, uh, privatewebhosting.org.

01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:36.240
And it's a private web hosting organization for straight, white, non-Jews.

01:15:36.260 --> 01:15:36.500
Oh, yeah.

01:15:36.520 --> 01:15:40.340
I think, I think Strom's eliminated from that big time.

01:15:41.080 --> 01:15:42.040
Oh, yes, yes.

01:15:42.520 --> 01:15:46.140
Do you need to send in, like, a blood sample if you want to, if you want to register?

01:15:46.860 --> 01:15:47.280
I don't know.

01:15:47.300 --> 01:15:47.980
It's a good question.

01:15:49.260 --> 01:15:52.180
Do you have, do you have to take a picture of, like, you know, your, you know, site of

01:15:52.180 --> 01:15:55.060
the faith to see, uh, you know, how big the nose is and such, you know.

01:15:55.060 --> 01:15:55.660
Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:15:55.660 --> 01:15:57.300
Do you have to see if you pass the test?

01:15:57.300 --> 01:16:01.660
You have to also send in a video of yourself screwing a woman, so you're definitely sure

01:16:01.660 --> 01:16:02.240
you're not gay.

01:16:03.320 --> 01:16:04.020
Yes, exactly.

01:16:04.160 --> 01:16:04.600
Oh, Jesus.

01:16:08.280 --> 01:16:09.160
Yes, yes.

01:16:09.280 --> 01:16:10.600
Just, just visit this website.

01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:13.480
It's just, it's, it's, it's a fun, it's a, it's a hilarious look.

01:16:14.580 --> 01:16:17.520
Um, email, as always, radio at binrev.com.

01:16:17.620 --> 01:16:19.000
And, uh, what's, what's our voicemail?

01:16:19.000 --> 01:16:26.000
The voicemail number is area code 213-415-1047.

01:16:26.180 --> 01:16:27.000
Let me repeat that again.

01:16:27.500 --> 01:16:28.440
Get your pencils out.

01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:35.320
It's area code 213-415-1047.

01:16:35.600 --> 01:16:38.440
I wonder if people would send us more voicemail if we had a toll-free number for it.

01:16:39.040 --> 01:16:40.600
Perhaps we can, maybe we'll set that up.

01:16:41.080 --> 01:16:41.200
Yeah.

01:16:41.200 --> 01:16:44.780
Um, closing music tonight is the, is from that same website I sent out last week.

01:16:44.860 --> 01:16:50.320
It's the Mega Man 3 Blue Nighting OC Remix, which I, I, I think is my second favorite song

01:16:50.320 --> 01:16:51.540
on there compared to last week's.

01:16:52.920 --> 01:16:56.200
So, as always, farewell and see you next week.

01:16:56.440 --> 01:16:58.260
Same hack time, same hack channel.

01:16:58.260 --> 01:16:58.360
