[LUAU] url: cyber warfare

[Taylor Cody L. Contr 502 AOS/PETS]

May 12, 2004, 1:51PM
Street fight in Dallas suburb started in chat room
Associated Press 
GARLAND - In a modern-day version of West Side Story, rival gang members
exchanged harsh words and set a time for a rumble. 
Nearly three dozen people, including 27 high school students, were arrested
this week after a grand jury issued indictments in a March 3 street fight.
What makes this case unusual, experts say, is how the clash was arranged:
via a profanity-laced Internet chat room. 
"It's the first time that we have seen it," said Officer Joe Harn, police
spokesman in the Dallas suburb of Garland. "They didn't have to come
together to down each other (with profanity). They simply could do it by
typing on a computer. Finally, it escalated enough where they decided to get
together and fight." 
While the cyber warfare was fought with keyboards, gang members relied on
more old-fashioned weapons -- fists, baseball bats, shovels -- in the
physical skirmish, Harn said. 
Several people were injured, including one person who suffered a broken arm.

"Most gangs, when they do the disrespect thing, it's either face to face or
through graffiti," said Steve Nawojczyk, an Arkansas gang researcher who
tracks trends on his Web site, www.gangwar.com . 
But it's not a surprise that a generation raised on computers would offer a
new wrinkle, he and other experts agreed. 
"Let's face it: Gangs already have their own alphabet, their own language,
their own hand signals, so why not use the Internet?" said Tod Burke, a
criminal justice professor at Radford University in Virginia. "Is this case
unusual? Yes. But what I'm afraid is going to happen, this is probably just
the beginning of it." 
In fact, gangs threatening rivals and issuing challenges on the Internet has
become relatively common, said Jared Lewis, director of Know Gangs, a
Wisconsin-based organization that educates police and the public about
gangs. It's fueled in part, he said, by chat rooms and bulletin boards on
gangster rap artists' Web sites, he said. 
"This is the first time I've heard where you've had a fight result, where
the gangs actually met," Lewis said. "It doesn't surprise me at all that
it's happened. It's just the scale that does surprise me." 
In keeping with the rumble's high-tech origins, one participant videotaped
the Garland skirmish. The tape helped police identify students and others
involved in the off-campus fight. 
A grand jury indicted 34 people, ages 14 to 21, for riot
participation/aggravated assault/serious bodily injury, a second-degree
felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison. 
All but one has been arrested, Harn said Wednesday. The other person is
believed to have fled to Mexico. Five of those indicted were female, and 18
were juveniles. 
Most of the suspects attended Garland High School and South Garland High
School, but school officials say the Internet exchanges occurred on home
computers. Harn said detectives discovered the chat room during their
investigation. 
"It's a site where anybody could go in and sign in and start talking," he
said. "For the most part, it's nothing but cursing on it. ... Some of them
actually signed in with their true names, so that helped us identify
people." 
The city's gang intelligence officers plan to pay more attention to such
sites given this case, he said. But gang experts say there's no way police
can keep track of all the communications on millions of Internet sites. 
Parents, not police, must take ultimate responsibility, said Lewis, a former
police officer in Modesto, Calif. 
"I'm just wondering why the parents aren't monitoring what's going on back
and forth on the Internet," he said.

RE: [LUAU] FC1

[Taylor Cody L. Contr 502 AOS/PETS]

Well I reinstalled FC1 last night and I did not reproduce the "bug".
Sometimes my memory isn't as good as I think it is.  I should have listened
to Vince and duplicated the bug before I put in a report.  No harm done and
I have really learned allot.

Wayne you were right.  I don't remember doing it but I must have passed the
second root= option to grub in the advanced boot options section of the
install.  That's pretty much the only explanation.
  
And one more thing to set the record straight.  The root=LABEL=/ did save me
from crashing on the first install.  The second entry must have been
ignored.  For me this was a pretty confusing problem I created.  I didn't
know why the machine booted with the wrong root= statement.  When I
commented out the initrd line I got the same type of error as when I used
the wrong root= statement.  They both said something about an image
statement or initrd.  

Well even though the bug wasn't a bug the list still did it's job.  Which is
help me figure out where I screwed up!

Well unless I added root=/dev/hdc3 during install and forgot about it,
Fedora did it on it's own.  I didn't notice / had been placed on hdc5 until
after I recompiled my kernel, copied and modified the grub entry and
rebooted.  Of course I got a kernel panic.  The first time I modified a
root= entry manually in grub was once I discovered / was on hdc5.

The root=LABEL=/ statement didn't save me from crashing because I left it in
place on the original kernel entry and removed the initrd line and I got the
same kernel panic as when I recompiled my kernel.  Im convinced the initrd
line is the only reason I didn't get a kernel panic with the original
grub.conf.

Im going to reinstall FC1 tonight to try and reproduce the suspected bug.
And not to worry I will not re-install over existing partitions.

RE: [LUAU] FC1

[Taylor Cody L. Contr 502 AOS/PETS]

Thanks for the info.
Fedora did update my partition table but why didn't it update grub?  The
root= statement still points towards the partition I chose and not the
correct one.  Im assuming the ramdisk fixed this problem but im not familiar
mkinitrd.

After the swapping, Fedora will update its partition table during the 
installation, but most people simply don't pay any attention.

[LUAU] FC1

[Taylor Cody L. Contr 502 AOS/PETS]

Fedora Core 1 question.
During setup I tried to set my partitions like this.

hdc
hdc1  >  M$-XP
hdc2  >  /boot
hdc3  >  /
hdc4
hdc5  >  /home
hdc6  >  swap

After install I downloaded the 2.4.26 kernel, re-compiled it, updated grub,
then rebooted.  I got a kernel panic.  After some troubleshooting I ran rdev
and discovered my root device was hdc5.  The df command shows / and /home as
being swapped.  When I say swapped I mean they are on the opposite
partitions that I thought I had chosen during setup.  The grub entry for the
original kernel shows root=/dev/hdc3.  But, it also has an entry for a .img
ramdisk.  Would the ramdisk entry in grub fix the wrong root= entry in grub
allowing / to be found?  Also, would fedora prefer to have / on hdc5 because
XP is on hdc1?

I did not make a ramdisk, I just changed root=/dev/hdc3 to root=/dev/hdc5
and grub found my / partition and everything went smoothly. 
Any info will be appreciated.  Thanks.  -Cody

RE: [luau] yum-2.0.4-2

[Taylor Cody L. Contr 502 AOS/PETS]

Hey thanks, your yum.conf made things run ALLOT better.  
At first I ran yum update instead of upgrade and it worked fine.  I did get
a corrupt header type of error at first.  I dumped the headers so it took
awhile for them to download again.  Besides that it ran great.  
Im not sure if yum upgrade is being used/supported very much.  I went ahead
and ran upgrade and it completed very quickly without any problems. 

Thanks again.

[luau] vsftpd-1.2.0-5

[Taylor Cody L. Contr 502 AOS/PETS]

Can someone tell me what is the easiest way to allow ftp users to upload but
not delete?  
If possible I would like to choose which users can delete.  
I think [user_config_dir] or [cmds_allowed] may get the job done.
Does the cmds_allowed apply for everyone on the server?  
Do I have to make the user_config_dir file?  If so is there a model or a
list of suggested commands I can get?

While I was researching the above questions I noticed that you can run
vsftpd as stand alone or off of another program like initd or xinetd.  The
man pages say that it runs as stand alone by default.  Can I assume this is
correct because I use the vsftpd.conf file to configure and not inetd.conf
or xinetd.conf?  When I make changes they take affect when I restart
/etc/init.d/vsftpd.  What function does /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd have with
vsftpd?

Any info will be appreciated.  Thanks.  -Cody

http://www.packet8.net/

Packet8 is a communication service like no other.
By taking advantage of high-speed Internet connections that are becoming so
common, 8x8 is able to offer a complete voice and video communication
service that is affordable and easy to use. Packet8 has been designed with
the user in mind. From online ordering and set up, to using the phone-
Packet8 is simple. 

How does it work?
Pick up the phone, hear dial tone and dial the telephone number of your
choice. When you get an incoming call the phone rings the same as any phone.
There are no extra numbers, no special routines to follow and no, you do not
talk on your computer. We route calls over the Internet and then pass them
off to the closest public telephone point to the number your are calling. To
sum it up, you make and receive calls the same way you always have, but we
connect your calls differently to save you money. Your experience is
identical to what you are used to with the exception of your bill. No more
gouging fees for features like voicemail, caller ID, Call waiting, or three
way calling and no more charges for every call. 

What do I get?
When you join Packet8 you will be sent a small device called a terminal
adapter (DTA) that plugs into the Internet connection in your home. Plug
your regular home telephone into this DTA. Lastly, we provide you a new
telephone number from a rate center of your choice. Our plans provide you
with unlimited calling to any phone in the United States and Canada,
including unlimited world wide calling to other packet 8 subscribers for one
low flat monthly fee. All our plans include more features than you knew were
available from your old telephone company. 

What else do I need?
A home router that allows you to share your Internet connection with
multiple computers or internet devices. Many of these home routers cost as
little as $30.00 and allow you to create a home network in minutes. 

That's it!

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/12/31/britain.honors.webman/index.html

Knighthood for 'father of the Web'
LONDON, England (CNN) -- The computer wizard dubbed the "father of the World
Wide Web" is to receive a knighthood for services to the Internet. 

..Tim Berners-Lee invented the information superhighway known as the Web,
which allows anyone with a computer and browser to use the Internet.
Famously, he created it in his spare time, and gave it away for free... 


...He wrote the program which would later become the Web for his own private
use while working at the European particle physics laboratory, CERN, near
Geneva in 1991. 

It initially received a luke-warm reception -- one of his superiors wrote it
was "vague but exciting" -- but Sir Tim went on to write the first Web
browser and Web server, both of which he gave away on the Internet in 1991,
and the Web was born. 

While other Internet pioneers went on to become multi-millionaires, he
insisted that his creation should be free and globally available, and has
fought to ensure the Web was never privately owned...

hiya everybody :)

was snooping around on the internet and found this really great web based
content management system written in PHP that is for the less web design
inclined, or those who just don't have the time to customize anything

offers such things as:
-instant loadable templates
-generates forms
-generate/edit a faq
-genreate/edit a photo album
-get RSS news feeds and add them to your sites (i.e. Slashdot)
-manage linx to other sites
-generate/edit polls
-a calander which allows event posting
-built in forum
-manage menu items

 . . . as you can see it has a buttload of features and just from what i've
seen so far looks very easy to administer

here is the homepage:
http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/

here is the generated content demo:
http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/demo/0.9.x/index.php

if you use the login name and password specified in the main intro on the
above page then you can login to a demo of the management side, if you then
click on the link that says Control Panel on the left hand side you will be
able to administer all the things i mentioned above

have fun!
