Re: Ps3 Host Booter
Alfonzo Liebenstein
I imagine it's possible there's someone out there who has the power to shut off your internet, or lag it a lot, but I'm confused why he keeps rejoining lobbies 3 or 4 times before playing a match because certain users are booters, it seems like 20% of the players are according to him. SO really - what the heck is all this about?
This is NOT a list of tasks/processes taken from Task Manager orthe Close Program window (CTRL+ALT+DEL) but a list of startup applications,although you will find some of them listed via this method. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL identifies programsthat are currently running - not necessarily at startup.Therefore, before ending a task/process via CTRL+ALT+DEL just because it has an "X" recommendation,please check whether it's in MSCONFIG or the registry first.An example would be "svchost.exe" - which doesn't appear in either under normal conditions but does via CTRL+ALT+DEL.If in doubt, don't do anything.

Heres the details you need to know.
-Ever 'win' a game because everyone else left at the same time? Thats host booting, and you really quit and lost exp.
-That gives the person who booted you host, so he gets everyone elses IP address and lags the out from the game so they win and level up really fast.
-Its really easy to do but Im not gonna give any details...
Most booter nowadays are kids buying them off of HackForums. These booters are usually Shell booters or Putty Servers.
Basically, the only way to prevent being hit off, is to have a good company with either protection against things like that happening, or simply a good enough connection so that when you are hit, you stay online but lag just a bit.
And a Dynamic IP is technically the best you can get because it allows you to have a different IP upon being disconnected from the internet for around 30 seconds. During that reset, it allows your ISP to provide you with another IP. This is good, seeing as the only way the booter can get your IP again after this happening would be to join a party with you, a game, or grab your IP off a website.
For network devices, the process of booting over a local area network (LAN)and booting over a WAN is slightly different. In both network bootscenarios, the PROM downloads the booter from a boot server or an installserver, which is inetboot in this case.
When booting over a LAN, the firmware uses DHCP to discover eitherthe boot server or the install server. The Trivial File Transfer Protocol(TFTP) is then used to download the booter, which is inetboot in this case.
When you are booting over a WAN, the firmware uses either DHCPor NVRAM properties to discover the install server, the router, and the proxiesthat are required for the system to boot from the network. Theprotocol that is used to download the booter is HTTP. In addition, thebooter's signature might be checked with a predefined private key.
USB host and Ethernet boot can be performed by BCM2837-based Raspberry Pis - that is, Raspberry Pi 2B version 1.2, Raspberry Pi 3B, and Raspberry Pi 3B+ (Raspberry Pi 3A+ cannot net boot since it does not have a built-in Ethernet interface). In addition, all Raspberry Pi models except Raspberry Pi 4B can use a new bootcode.bin-only method to enable USB host boot.
Format an SD card as FAT32 and copy on the latest bootcode.bin. The SD card must be present in the Raspberry Pi for it to boot. Once bootcode.bin is loaded from the SD card, the Raspberry Pi continues booting using USB host mode.
The USB device boot mode is enabled by default at the time of manufacture, but the USB host boot mode is only enabled with program_usb_boot_mode=1. Once enabled, the processor will use the value of the OTGID pin on the processor to decide between the two modes. On any Raspberry Pi Model B / B+, the OTGID pin is driven to '0' and therefore will only boot via host mode once enabled (it is not possible to boot through device mode because the LAN951x device is in the way).
Invalid host names will be ignored. They should only contain lower case alphanumeric characters and - or ..If HTTP_HOST is set then HTTPS is disabled and plain HTTP used instead.You can specify an IP address to avoid the need for a DNS lookup.Don`t include the HTTP scheme or any forward slashes in the hostname.
You can use this property to change the port used for network install and HTTP boot. HTTPS is enabled when using the default host fw-download-alias1.raspberrypi.com. If HTTP_HOST is changed then HTTPS is disabled and plain HTTP will be used instead.
If defined, delays USB enumeration for the given timeout after the USB host controller has initialised. If a USB hard disk drive takes a long time to initialise and triggers USB timeouts then this delay can be used to give the driver additional time to initialise. It may also be necessary to increase the overall USB timeout (USB_MSD_DISCOVER_TIMEOUT).
The choice between the two boot modes is made by the firmware at boot time when it reads the OTP bits. There are two bits to control USB boot: the first enables USB device boot and is enabled by default. The second enables USB host boot; if the USB host boot mode bit is set, then the processor reads the OTGID pin to decide whether to boot as a host (driven to zero as on any Raspberry Pi Model B / B+) or as a device (left floating). The Raspberry Pi Zero has access to this pin through the OTGID pin on the USB connector, and the Compute Module has access to this pin on the edge connector.
When this boot mode is activated (usually after a failure to boot from the SD card), the Raspberry Pi puts its USB port into device mode and awaits a USB reset from the host. Example code showing how the host needs to talk to the Raspberry Pi can be found on Github.
The host first sends a structure to the device down control endpoint 0. This contains the size and signature for the boot (security is not enabled, so no signature is required). Secondly, code is transmitted down endpoint 1 (bootcode.bin). Finally, the device will reply with a success code of:
On the Raspberry Pi 2B v1.2, 3A+, 3B, Zero 2 W, and Compute Module 3, 3+ you must first enable USB host boot mode. This is to allow USB mass storage boot, and network boot. Note that network boot is not supported on the Raspberry Pi 3A+ or Zero 2 W.
To enable USB host boot mode, the Raspberry Pi needs to be booted from an SD card with a special option to set the USB host boot mode bit in the one-time programmable (OTP) memory. Once this bit has been set, the SD card is no longer required.
USB in the table above selects both USB device boot mode and USB host boot mode. In order to use a USB boot mode, it must be enabled in the OTP memory. For more information, see USB device boot and USB host boot.
All HTTP downloads must be signed. The bootloader includes a public key for the files on the default host fw-download-alias1.raspberrypi.com. This key will be used to verify the network install image unless you set HTTP_HOST and include a public key in the EEPROM. This allows you to host the Raspberry Pi network install images on your own server.
If there is no kernel driver available, and a program needs to access a peripheral address directly with mmap, it needs to know where in the virtual memory map the peripheral bus segment has been placed. This varies according to which model of Raspberry Pi is being used, so there are three helper functions in bcm_host.c to help provide platform independence.
The USB specification requires that USB devices must not supply current to upstream devices. If a USB device does supply current to an upstream device then this is called back-powering. Often this happens when a badly-made powered USB hub is connected, and will result in the powered USB hub supplying power to the host Raspberry Pi. This is not recommended since the power being supplied to the Raspberry Pi via the hub will bypass the protection circuitry built into the Raspberry Pi, leaving it vulnerable to damage in the event of a power surge.
When I reset the system it tries booting from CD but there is no single request made on the webserver. I verifyed with apache log file and tcpdump. I do see arp-who-has from the iLO IP and I access the host from the same interface which runs the webserver so the physical connection seems to be fine.
systemd is the mother of all processes and it is responsible for bringing the Linux host up to a state in which productive work can be done. Some of its functions, which are far more extensive than the old init program, are to manage many aspects of a running Linux host, including mounting filesystems, and starting and managing system services required to have a productive Linux host. Any of systemd's tasks that are not related to the startup sequence are outside the scope of this article.
First, systemd mounts the filesystems as defined by /etc/fstab, including any swap files or partitions. At this point, it can access the configuration files located in /etc, including its own. It uses its configuration file, /etc/systemd/system/default.target, to determine which state or target, into which it should boot the host. The default.target file is only a symbolic link to the true target file. For a desktop workstation, this is typically going to be the graphical.target, which is equivalent to runlevel 5 in the old SystemV init. For a server, the default is more likely to be the multi-user.target which is like runlevel 3 in SystemV. The emergency.target is similar to single user mode.
