David Guetta World Tour Cancelled After Losing USB Containing His Entire Set

I loled

AJ Henderson

@PsychOPhobiA that wouldn't help much since half this chat rooms normal population is mods :)

but DMZ follows its own set of rules

room topic changed to The DMZ: The first breach costs you an arm.... [double-entendre] [food] [libations] [no-nono-yolo] [rory] [security]

@AviD there, fixed

;)

@PsychOPhobiA nobody likes boobs that lack definition, that's why they invented pushup bras

@PsychOPhobiA that wouldn't actually matter

if anything, they get more attention from mods. We see all

@PsychOPhobiA - the big thing about the line is that if anyone actually does get offended, everyone in here that regularly participates is smart enough to (generally) figure it out and back off. Otherwise the whip does start cracking

PsychO PhobiA

Da whip of..?

AJ Henderson

mods calling stuff out, deleting posts and in extreme cases handing out suspensions (though generally far shorter than elsewhere on the network would get)

thing is that in here, people primarily joke around with other people that are known to joke around

AviD

@AJHenderson heh, thats really not always true.

its really a matter of keeping it within the realms of good taste, which obviously varies.

AJ Henderson

@AviD not always, but generally that's when flags start flying and mods start getting cranky because we have annoying blue bubbles

AviD

We tend to straddle the line, trick is to not turn around and hump the line's brains out.

AJ Henderson

22:43

you have to cuddle with the line after and make it feel loved and appreciated

PsychO PhobiA

I agree with you all

I have to say this is interesting conversation ever

AJ Henderson

@PsychOPhobiA clearly you never experienced IRC

PsychO PhobiA

IRC?

FEichinger

With you being in a infosec chat room, this raises the question: How old are you?

PsychO PhobiA

Huh?

AJ Henderson

22:49

@PsychOPhobiA internet relay chat, it is an old chat system, one of the earlier ones on the Internet and was far, far more bizar and haphazard than anything here

PsychO PhobiA

I don't understand you. Can you explain a little bit further?

please

AJ Henderson

take a look at bash.org sometime for highlights

FEichinger

If you're in an infosec room, it's safe to assume that you have at least some form of experience in IT. Now, if you do have experience in IT, but no idea what IRC is, you must be rather young - because IRC was a quite important part of IT in the last few decades, slowly losing traction.

(I'd say "thankfully", because IRC as a protocol is outdated and should've been replaced ages ago, but at it still is an integral part of the web in many ways.)

Anyway, back to tinkering with a stack machine. Because building a Markdown parser stack machine is awesomely pointless fun.

tylerl

@FEichinger You have to respect its simplicity, though

You can write an IRC server in a 30-line bash script.

...not that you would. Bash is inefficient to a degree that's difficult to even fathom

Scott Pack

23:04

ohai guise!

IRC is simplistic enough you could probably even write an IRC server in ruby.

tylerl

@ScottPack that might be pushing it.

Scott Pack

I'm not saying it would be easy...

AJ Henderson

UnrealIRCd still gets updates

the big thing though is that without services running, modern IRC is basically worthless

tylerl

You could write one in PHP, but if you did it would also function as an unauthenticated login shell.

Scott Pack

@tylerl That's just a side benefit of using PHP.

I see today's chatter involved lots of tit discussion.

Did anyone bring up the subject of boobies?

tylerl

23:12

@ScottPack that came first

Scott Pack

Well, I'm sad to have missed all the great discussion of the finer points of tits and boobs but I'm very glad it happened.

AviD

hey @ScottPack. Who is Chris Kimmel?

Related to Jimmy?

Scott Pack

@AviD Have you tried the googles?

You asking about the guy from SecureState?

AviD

dont need teh googles, I'm lookin at him

Scott Pack

I don't understand.

AviD

23:22

He's from Ohio, in security, figured you knew him.

Scott Pack

There's quite a lot of us.

It looks like he works for SecureState which is pretty nearby.

AviD

soooo.....

Scott Pack

Is face looks somewhat familiar.

AviD

and now tangible.

Scott Pack

Where are you?

AviD

23:24

Sent me a linkedin request, I just went and assumed and made an ass out of us.

@ScottPack Me?

Scott Pack

You said his face is tangible

AviD

@ScottPack heh, no, now he works for Tangible.

Scott Pack

>_<

Never heard of them.

AviD

probably a local consulting company. There are lots of them.

Scott Pack

Oh, there website is total "Oh sure you betcha we're totally cyberwarriorsecurity ninjas. Except with the buttoned up tie sporting federal feel."

They're in Maryland

Which is kind of not Ohio.

AviD

23:27

weird.

Scott Pack

So either he's moved or is traveling.

Like pants.

Yeah, he totes has a familiar looking face.

AviD

duh, I thought it said Columbus, its actually Columbia. Slight difference.

Scott Pack

What's his linkedin profile?

AviD

@ScottPack or they are less local and more.... not local.

@ScottPack linkedin.com/profile/…

Scott Pack

SecureState is nearish Columbus.

Specifically Cleveland which is only a couple of hours north.

SOME BALD TERRORIST LOOKING GUY VIEWED MY PROFILE

AviD

23:28

heh

wait, is that me?

Scott Pack

Dude's name has got to be fake. Avi Douglen. Yeah. Sure. Kind of like my tech support guy "Ron" from "Indianapolis".

Ok, he must be working remote. He lists his Tangible location as Cleveland/Akron

AviD

heh, yeah obviously its a spoof. No way is the real Avi D actually looking at your profile.

@ScottPack okay, way too much investigation. I'll just chalk him up to "unknown".

Scott Pack

The more I look at his G+ picture the more I believe I may have seen him.

AviD

I did notice that he's connected to quite a few israeli security people. Looks like he's just trying to build up his network.

Scott Pack

Oh bugger.

So I noticed that some of my comics weren't doing page order correctly on my tablet.

I just figured out why.

It's freaking asciibetic sorting.

AviD

23:32

@ScottPack He looks like Wil Wheaton.

Scott Pack

So the compruter based comic book file format standards are CBZ and CBR. In truth all they are are zip or rar files where each comic page is an image (like a jpg) of the form "page1.jpg, page2.jpg, page3.jpg"

There's not even any metadata information. Just a zip of pictures.

Well, for whatever reason, these are being displayed as "page1.jpg, page10.jpg, page11.jpg....page2.jpg, page20.jpg"

AviD

@ScottPack oy that sucks. but makes perfect sense.

any solution? I remember futzing around with that a couple years ago...

back when I had time to read comics.... :-(

Scott Pack

Not so far.

AviD

what are you using for reader?

Scott Pack

I'm thinking I may have to rename them to be page001, page002, page003, etc.

Which means scripting it.

In truth it won't be terrible, but since I've got hundreds to fix...

FEichinger

23:37

@ScottPack Which is fairly easy.

AviD

I'm thinking a proper CBR reader could account for that automatically...

Scott Pack

It is fairly easy, but I need to be very careful during development so I don't end up fucking them all up.

AviD

BACKUPS

Scott Pack

I've tried a few. PerfectViewer is slick but the controls were a big janky for me. SimpleComicReader is the one I've used the most. It's streamlined and easy.

@AviD Seriously? I wouldn't even modify the original files.

AviD

so there ya go

Scott Pack

23:39

I just don't want to crank something out in 10 minutes, start it running, then check it tomorrow to figure out it all works.

Plus I've got a mix of formats so I'll need to do some checking and such

tylerl

23:59

What's a good place to post a question about DNS architecture performance. Not a specific implementation, but rather the resolution path you need to follow for a given domain.
