Root Access

In computer networking, the Link Control Protocol (LCP) forms part of the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), within the family of Internet protocols. In setting up PPP communications, both the sending and receiving devices send out LCP packets to determine the standards of the ensuing data transmission. The LCP protocol: checks the identity of the linked device and either accepts or rejects the device determines the acceptable packet size for transmission searches for errors in configuration can terminate the link if requirements exceed the parameters Devices cannot use PPP to transmit data over a...

so I asked in the khan academy boards why ES6 wasn't supported in the scripting environment

this lady responds back saying: "Official sources say that JavaScript is not expected to implement the ECMA Script 6 changes"

umm... what?!!?

@JourneymanGeek See at old house, in my 'office' room, i had some shelves

they came to contain all of the 'tools' which ever were used around the house

hammers, an axe, a jigsaw, saws, screws, screwdrivers, all of it

Now we've moved I'm finally getting them in the shed/away from me :D

Guitar Shoe Dave

I have the biggest headache.

oldmud0

@GuitarShoeDave what from deleting somebody's http root?

Guitar Shoe Dave

@oldmud0: I didnt. his own site did.. he stores his chat sessions as files on the disk.. and it reads and writes to them.

@oldmud0: he said there was bugs and all i did was pass in adirectory as a chatroomname... and it overwrote the files in that folder apparently..

I assumed he wanted testers

Was just trying to help out =( wasnt trying to be destructive.

oldmud0

weird...

Guitar Shoe Dave

@oldmud0: yea he probably wants to /should be storing via database instead =P

I really hope i didnt accidentally write over any files testing your site for vulns but yea its good progress.

Could have been "a lot" worse

windows 10 update brb

oldmud0

ya especially when I myself run an ancient windows 2003 computer that anyone can decide to `del C:`

why don't backticks work in chat...

jokerdino

del C:

it only works in oneline chat messages

Guitar Shoe Dave

hehe

DavidPostill

5:12 PM

Or in the middle del C: of lines ;)

Guitar Shoe Dave

I really feel bad about the whole testing thing, but at least he was able to recover.

my whole intention originally was to attempt to write a ssh authorized_key and remote into his machine and send him a screenshot to show how easy it would have been hackable with a POC.

but like again, ' wasnt trying to be destructive '

:P

@DavidPostill: Hows it going today bud? Should add me on linked in :P

Anyhow, Trying to find a cheap sound card that's USB with component ports (SPDIF / Line / or RCA) outputs that can do at least DD 7.1 SS.

The pc that runs the software that works with my midi keyboard doesnt have this, and is making it impossibro to hook up to my sound system.

all right I give up trying to do this

I'm trying to make a SIMPLE HELLO WORLD program for native api

and then CLIPPY gets in the way

and I have the windows ddk installed..

but it keeps erroring out for one reason or another because I keep using the wrong include and none of the tutorials talk about the right include to use and where to put it

DavidPostill

@oldmud0 Why are you using the DDK? The SDK would be better (unless you plan on writing device drivers)

What language are you writing in?

oldmud0

it's Native API, C++

DavidPostill

@oldmud0 Command line or GUI?

GUI msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/…

oldmud0

Native API != Win32

DavidPostill

@oldmud0 What is it then?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
    cout << "Hello, world, from Visual C++!" << endl;
}

oldmud0

5:51 PM

it's an API for making calls before windows finishes the boot process. If you've ever seen preboot chkdsk, you've seen Native API at work.

Native API

The Native API (with capitalized N) is the application programming interface (API) used by Windows NT and user mode applications. It is usually used during system boot, when other components of Windows are unavailable, and by routines such as those in kernel32.dll that implement the Windows API. The entry point of ntdll.dll is LdrInitializeThunk. Most of the Native API calls are implemented in ntoskrnl.exe and are exposed to user mode by ntdll.dll. Some Native API calls are implemented in user mode directly within ntdll.dll. Native API calls are handled by the kernel via the SSDT. While most of...

i.e what the commands are

@Private I rejected your edit for the linux-subsystem-windows tag wiki excerpt in error. I could have sworn the correct name was "Linux Subsystem for Windows", but I just double-checked, and it is not. My bad.

Fortunately, the edit can still be approved, and I hope it is

CMDEmu

6:59 PM

isnt that subsystem discontinued in modern windows editions

Ben N

Actually, it's brand new: blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/03/30/…

You're thinking of the UNIX subsystem: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771672.aspx

CMDEmu

oh

well, I gtg , later

Ben N

I think the UNIX subsystem is still there, at least in Win7 (?)
