Linux LiveCD *does* come in handy, I have to admit just once

Tried a Kaspersky "LiveCD" rootkit detector that uses Linux. Why?
Because loading a foreign OS like Linux from the CD reader is better
at detecting rootkits, which mimic your Windows kernel, than a windows
based rootkit detector that lives on your hard drive.

So Linux is not all bad--it's good for this one limited purpose.

Go here to get this product:

He just loves to troll the Linux zealots. :o)

When I suggested an alternate boot, I didn't mean that it couldn't be
Windows or even the same version as the contaminated OS it just has to
be a different instance from the one from the contaminated disk.

Linux is indeed good for this.

I see. So there's no need to use Linux after all.

If you have a Windows-based rescure CD / rootkit detector I'd like to
use it. As I alluded to in another thread Linux LiveCD has given my
XP system problems if you don't exit the LiveCD properly (you then
need to do a chkdsk to repair your Windows NTFS HD on reboot).

These are the sources of some of the numerous viruses and malware

that all of the engineers that micoshaft and its partners like
kaperski can ever hope to write protection for.
450 million+ infected windopws machines out there.

So why stop at using a Linux liveCD?
You could go and install full Linux and be done with?

On a netbook with 1Gb you would be lucky to open 3 decent
applications simultaneously before windopws crashes.

With Linux you can open 30+ decent applications and nothing
much happens to slow down or cause problems.

In any case why choose the kaperski proprietary product

and comes with ClamAV http://www.sysresccd.org/
ClamAV can be updated within 2 hours of a reported incident.

time for prosecutors to move in and arrest a few of the criminals funding

Asstroturfer offerings
----------------------


I've just read the contents of the fbo.gov solicitation RTB220610

The US government wants asstroturfers and with it sophisticated
asstroturfing technology to drown out democratic free speech,
and then hide from those whom it seeks to victimize.

It was point no.3 that caught my eye:
0003- Static IP Address Management

What that means is the same as what I've been saying for a while about
doofi, flatcake and clog are true.

They are not individuals but a whole asstroturfing team
behind each sock puppet.

There isn't enough memory between the sock operators to know
or remember what had been said earlier so you know the
conversations are being typed out by multiple individuals
impersonating each other.
It was notable gaffs by the goofy doofy sock that first gave it away.

The asstrotufing teams had already gone into government and offered them
consulting services about what technology and asstroturfing
practices were out there for fbo.gov to decide what they will
purchase in solicitation RTB220610.

Pull the other one! As established in that other thread, the live CD did
_nothing_ to your NTFS hard drive. The alleged problem happened when you

Not least of which is that the Rescue Disk does establish a connection
to the internet, and asks if you want to download the latest
signatures, plus, 2008 is better than nothing, plus, I think Kaspersky
probably updates the freeware every so often so it's no doubt more
recent.

Yeah, that's why COLA and COLS are for flaming: lot's of low-lying
fruit (cakes) to pick (on) for trolls like me. They always fall for
the bait too...then complain about trolling. Either they are too
stupid or just asking for it. This clown Natural Philosopher is one

Golly. And you think that movie is historical fact too I suppose?

No, but it was a perfect example. I told you the truth about me, 100%, no
lies, and you think I'm BSing. [g]

I was talking to this hacker who claims he can break into any computer
in the world, etc etc. Being a junior programmer myself I could not
say I believed him 100%, though he was more of a low-level machine
language guy like you so maybe he knows tricks that are not even
published in mainstream media. Of interest though is that he said
there is no difference between black hat and white hat hackers--they
both are the same thing. I've heard the same thing about crooks and
police in a cynical context.

So Dustin, in your retirement you could supplement your income by
working for the mafia being a black hat hacker instead of wasting your
time here. Or, in lieu of your "I'd buy that" comment, maybe you
already do?

My bad. You quoted me. I took that as a reply to me. And , occasionally,
we seem to be wiseasses towards one another. Apologies for my
assholiness.

Well.. in a cynical sense, he's right. It's a matter of ethics. Blackhat
vs whitehat. same skills between both. Just one is more willing to do ..
shall we say, less than above board for the results. [g]

Black, or white?

Suppose you worked for your government to fight terrorism, and you were
working on a targeted worm to infiltrate their systems. Then, you
discover a wormable exploit that you can use as an auto distribution
mechanism. Do you do the responsible disclosure thing or do you sit on
that information until after infiltration?

White Hat is "Ethical Hacker" but it would still depend on your sense of
ethics.

Good point. And also if you are a White Hat for Israel you are, by
definition, a Black Hat for all of Israel's enemies. And vice versa.
The UK rocket scientist who was helping Iraq develop a high-powered
near ballistic artillery piece was assassinated by Mossad, the Israeli
secret service. Bell was his name, without Googling it. OK I did
Google it and he was Canadian living in Belgium: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Bull

sorry, i can't agree. when you enter the realm of cyber-warfare (where
your actions are good for your country but bad for others) then you
are not a white-hat. at best you are a grey-hat.

ethical warfare? please. sometimes doing bad things is necessary, but
lets not dress them up as good things.
