Q: How does feedingbottle work?

I am network administrator and I am always worried about network security as I know people use different techniques of hacking to penetrate wireless and wired networks. Recently I came to know about software Feedingbottle which can hack WEP on finger tips you don't even have to know anything abou...

@Lucio I see.

Lucio

12:14 AM

@Seth Are you a teacher in codeacademy?

Seth

No.. But someday I would like to be :)

I don't actually know as much as you think.

But I have symlinked by brain to Google ;)

Lucio

@Seth Uh, that is useful :P

12:30 AM

@Seth yup

Seth

Do you want to migrate that?

jrg

migrate...?

oh, i see

Seth

Yeah.

Little too broad for here.

jrg

asked in The DMZ, i think the answer will be "no".

at least, not in its current form.

Seth

Want me to edit it up?

jrg

12:47 AM

or any form. it's just a broad question.

Eliah Kagan

@Seth Is it really possible to edit that and be reasonably sure to stay loyal to what the OP wants to ask? The OP explicitly wanted the question here. (That doesn't mean I disagree with our having closed it.)

Seth

@EliahKagan Yes I think I could.

I know the OP wanted to ask here, but it's just not a good fit.

@Seth check The DMZ

@jrg I'm there.

oh, i see

@EliahKagan Do you have a pro-forma for Ubuntu+1?

I don't and this needs one:

Q: Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail Macbook Pro 8,3 wont boot after upgrade

Hi just invested in a 17" MBP before they disappear forever as a desktop replacement. Want to use Ubuntu as my primary OS, and have been trying to install 13.04. It installs fine off a dvd and boots up. when I run the first upgrade the kernel updates to 3.8..4 from 3.8..2 and I get a black screen...

macbook-pro 13.04

Eliah Kagan

@Seth Yes, I do. I've posted it.

While this (like most questions about problems with upcoming releases of Ubuntu) is considered off-topic here, fortunately there are many other help resources you can use for help with this. See There's an issue with an Alpha/Beta Release of Ubuntu, what should I do?. — Eliah Kagan 10 secs ago

Seth

Thanks.

Looks good to me. Maybe we should get it into the script.

jrg

@Seth let me know when you've edited to work.

Seth

@jrg OK. I'm almost done with what I'm doing right now.

I'll get to it ASAP.

jrg

ok

no rush.

Seth

> I am network administrator and I am always worried about network security as I know people use different techniques of hacking to penetrate wireless and wired networks. Recently I came to know about software Feedingbottle which can hack WEP on finger tips; you don't even have to know anything about networking and hacking as its just a simple GUI.

I am interested in knowing how this works and what we can do to avoid this. I'm also interested in knowing if there are any other tools available that can do this.

How does that (--^) look? @jrg @EliahKagan?

jrg

sure.

that looks ok.

Seth

You have to take the whole thing with a grain of salt, I'm not trying to correct any of the OP's inaccuracies, just preserve his thought in plain english.

@jrg Okay applying...

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Immunity has made a handheld idiot gui for wireless pwnage for a long time...

Q: How can I prevent the hacking of my wired and wireless networks by tools like feedingbottle?

I am network administrator and I am always worried about network security as I know people use different techniques of hacking to penetrate wireless and wired networks. Recently I came to about software called Feedingbottle which can hack WEP on finger tips; you don't even have to know anything...

wireless networking security password

AbrahamVanHelpsing

1:30 AM

@mateo_salta use wpa enterprise properly

Check how simple that GUI is: immunityinc.com/products-silica.shtml

mateo_salta

that and not broadcasting network name

AbrahamVanHelpsing

that's a fallacy

not broadcasting the network name means they just have to wait for a single client to be active and evil twins will be preferred because they're broadcasting available unless you have a wips to DoS the rogue AP

Seth

@mateo_salta Yeah, hidden networks are good.

Eliah Kagan

@Seth That looks good to me.

mateo_salta

well, at least someone that is just messing around with cracking a password...

AbrahamVanHelpsing

1:35 AM

unicode character in the password also a pain...just saying, unicode symbol smack in the middle annihillates most dictionaries

Seth

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Hey... That's something I've never thought about..

And write your password in Cyrillic.

mateo_salta

plan b: don't use wireless

jrg

typing them cross-platform is a royal pain in the rear though.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

@jrg pasting them isn't

jrg

fair enough.

@GeorgeEdison woah, there was something similar for Dreamweaver for Macs a while back, where it launched the browsers with all access (which you could launch any app as a "browser" basically) used it to play the built in chess at school.

Seth

2:37 AM

Very interesting article: me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design

mateo_salta

ah man, some one is serial up-voting me... unless this is a coordinated attack by multiple users to get me to 3,000. (one more point)

Seth

Here is a tag wiki you can edit anyway: sansa-clip

mateo_salta

sansa fuse is nice, I haven't heard about the clip

Seth

I haven't heard good things about the clip...

mateo_salta

except for the oled screens on the fuse burn out fast, salvaged my dad's and replaced the screen (he was going throw it out)

Seth

2:47 AM

OLED screen? That's interesting.

I have a zune myself.

Finally got my answer here updated... That took a while.

Had some technical difficulties as well.

mateo_salta

@Seth yeah, it looks awesome - but doesn't last as long, they may have improved recently

Seth

@mateo_salta I see... I know Samsung uses Super AMOLED screens themselves..

BTW I'm still hoping someone will add another answer or two to that question. There are still quite a few methods that aren't represented.

mateo_salta

maybe xubuntu/kubuntu/lubuntu specific ones? (screens and all)

Seth

That would be good, though I don't think the methods would differ too much from Luis' answer..

mateo_salta

hm, I guess it's not about key shortcuts really

Seth

3:00 AM

No not quite that.

oops. Don't know how "Ah" got on that..

mateo_salta

do we have a canonical for custom keyboard shortcut making?

Seth

I don't understand what you mean...

For creating keyboard shortcuts?

mateo_salta

like press alt+ctrl+? to make a shortcut to a program

I think I answered some like that...

Seth

Uh.. this question?

mateo_salta

oh, kind of like this, but more general, askubuntu.com/questions/138629/…

Seth

3:06 AM

Nice answer.

Close votes to review :P

2 mins ago, by Seth

Uh.. this question?

mateo_salta

well, "I want some to run commands" might be enough to look into some of that for the different desktops, I'll look into it.

Seth

I'm sorry... I really don't understand where you are going with this...

mateo_salta

I originally took it as mostly remapping keys..

Seth

I was trying to make a canonical question for that right there.

@mateo_salta Ah, but that's what creating custom shortcut is ;)

mateo_salta

cool. looks like I have some answer making to do later.

Seth

3:09 AM

Remapping keys. Though my answer covers running commands... I'm sure there are other ways of doing it to.

@mateo_salta Greet thanks!

mateo_salta

@Seth oh, I see...

~~laughs maniacally~~

ok back to being serious, see you later

Seth

@mateo_salta later.

InkBlend

3:27 AM

@Seth, out of curiosity, were you around when the big spam attack on the 17th hit?

Seth

@InkBlend Hmm.. the 17th.

I know I missed the biggest one that hit.

InkBlend

The Sunday before last.

Seth

So probably not.

@InkBlend Yeah. I don't think I was there.

Wish I had been.

InkBlend

I just wanted to know if you had ever seen anything like it before.

I wasn't there myself, but, judging by the chat transcripts (and a few questions on Meta), it was huge.

Seth

Oh, I've seen a lot of the spam.. I have 107 helpful spam flags, but I've never seen anything that big. It was huge! And lasted all day.

A mod took that.

You've probably seen it already.

vasa1

3:31 AM

@maggotbrain and I were there for part of it.

InkBlend

Has anything like that ever happened before, or is this a first?

Seth

We've had spam before... Nothing like that though.

InkBlend

Just saw the screenshot. Yikes.

Seth

Looks like this spam start January 24 and has slowly built up.

Recently actions have been taken against it though, and we're blocked a whole lot before it ever made it in.

maggotbrain

wut?

oh. yeah. That was fun.

I've got about 160 spam flags thanks to that.

Seth

3:37 AM

Wow.

That's a lot.

maggotbrain

Well, after those few days.

SPAM: It really brings a community together. ;-)

Seth

Yes it does.

maggotbrain

I'm only half joking. It would've been sort of a sad reflection on the community participation if that stuff lingered here for hours.

2

Seth

It has before..

Luis Alvarado

@EliahKagan You there?

maggotbrain

3:41 AM

@Seth When? In the last few months?

Seth

@maggotbrain Yeah.

maggotbrain

hmm.

Luis Alvarado

@maggotbrain nice wiki tags you made recently

Seth

maggotbrain

@LuisAlvarado oh. Thanks. I'm just glad to see them approved quickly today. Instead of me left wondering if they were useful.

Luis Alvarado

3:44 AM

@maggotbrain was on top of those today. You made several.

And Seth also got some pretty good ones that I wanted to do but he took them... FROM ME!

maggotbrain

Inspiration. ;-) I may try and continue tomorrow. I found a query on data.stackexchange that helped me focus

Luis Alvarado

Can you provide the query here?

Seth

@LuisAlvarado :O

maggotbrain

@LuisAlvarado Sure: data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/104525/…

That was just a jumping off point that got me digging a bit further.

Seth

o_O

InkBlend

3:48 AM

Off topic, could someone explain to me how comment flags "accumulate"?

FEichinger

Context?

Seth

The more comment flags a comment has the more have accumulated.

Depending on what the flag is

A certain number of flags will soft-delete the comment.

InkBlend

I noticed that I gradually gain more as my flags get accepted, but not on a one-to-one basis like for question/answer flags.

No, not like that, I mean how many flags I have left.

Luis Alvarado

Seth

@InkBlend Oh that accumulation. Yeah, the more helpful flags you have the more you get.

@LuisAlvarado ROTFL

Luis Alvarado

3:50 AM

Weirder and Weirder this Captcha keywords become.. As if something or someone was trying to tell me something

Seth

Inspect element is awesome.

InkBlend

Again, I noticed that, after my flags get accepted/rejected, I sometimes have more then before, and sometimes not.

maggotbrain

That spam blitz helped me along in my quest for 500 helpful flags. Just ~70 more to go. :-)

Seth

FEichinger

@Seth This is why you log into data.SE

Seth

3:52 AM

Yep.

@InkBlend It also depends on how many you've flagged that day and how many have already been reviewed.

I don't know all the details behind it though.

maggotbrain

@LuisAlvarado There are actually 2 queries: data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/104524/… They both look the same, but they seem to accurately pull from AU tags only. I'm not sure quite how since I haven't spent much time with them.

I don't know if it would be helpful to fork one of them and put it under the AU queries or not

Luis Alvarado

@maggotbrain the first one you gave me, got me an idea

it also rocked finding the tags like that

Seth

Much better, don't you think?

maggotbrain

@LuisAlvarado What are you thinking?

Seth

Okay I'm done. goes and sits in bad jokes corner

FEichinger

3:57 AM

@Seth That got me an idea.

Seth

@FEichinger Oh?

I find the blue rather annoying.

Luis Alvarado

taking over the world with boring lectures, but apart from that, a mix of a query that can do the same on AU

FEichinger

@Seth Just wait ... And see if I end up actually finishing it.

Seth

@FEichinger sigh I'll try..

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Night @Seth

Eliah Kagan

@LuisAlvarado If it relates to that answer of yours, you might just want to remove the second part but keep the first part about remounting. I say this because that answer is likely useful to a lot of people in spite of its 0 score--it has a lot of helpfuls, in the anonymous and low rep stats.

Luis Alvarado

@EliahKagan NVM, it was about the last comment

Eliah Kagan

4:08 AM

@LuisAlvarado Oh.

Luis Alvarado

yeah, I went ahead a removed it

Eliah Kagan

What comment?

(brb)

Luis Alvarado

it was a crazy idea

the one about chmod 000

I answered that maybe, just maybe, I was smoking something that day

Eliah Kagan

@LuisAlvarado Oh yeah, I saw that. I figured you just meant that you thought the chmod 000 thing was a mistake.

That answer got 23 "helpful" evaluations from unregistered users (coming in 4th in the underrated category), and my guess was that the helpful part was the remounting advice at the beginning. You might consider editing it to remove (or change) the chmod part, but leave the mount part.

Of course, you're free to choose to leave your answer deleted, if you wish. :)

maggotbrain

@LuisAlvarado FWIW, I forked that over to AU data space. data.stackexchange.com/ubuntu/query/105103/…

@Seth Just to be clear, abandoned and unanswered are not the same thing. You shouldn't treat questions without answers or comments as evil. Abandoned questions are ones that have attempted triage but the OP never came back to update their question to answer questions.
