I thought my Amiga 1200 was running too well and guessed it was time to spoil things with updating the Kickstart ROMs and upgrade Workbench 3.1 to 3.1.4.1. My A1200 refused to boot with the new ROMs, so back to the 3.1 ROMs. Started the installation of 3.1.4 from the disks I got with the ROMs, and it was missing the A1200 Modules disk. I found out the massive serial number on the new ROMs is the serial number for the software, so was able to get the disk images from Hyperion, who makes WB 3.1.4. However the issue now is how to get that file onto a floppy disk image onto a floppy disk. Which is impossible without an Amiga or a third party disk drive unit. Pulled the CF card out of the A1200, which now had a borked copy of WB 3.1.4 on it and put it onto my PC with WinUAE and used that to rebuild the installation. Got it working in WinUAE, did the 3.1.4.1 update and copied the A1200 Modules disk image to the Amiga so I could then copy it over to a floppy disk. Sigh, old computers hey.

The Atari with 720kb (which means you can use DOS formatted disks) and the Amiga with 880kb (which you can't even use a PC FDD to format)

I'm mucking around with standard 1.4MB now until my FDD emulator arrives. Finding some cool demoscene files to try out and seems so appropriate loading them from a floppy. If I find a really good one I might commit it to EPROM for a custom cart just for 'neato' factor.

The Atari with 720kb (which means you can use DOS formatted disks) and the Amiga with 880kb (which you can't even use a PC FDD to format) I've found that most ADF files can be lha compressed down to fit on a 720kb DOS floppy, which the Amiga can read. So I take a DOS-formatted DD floppy, mount it on Linux using a USB floppy drive, write the lha-compressed Amiga image, stick the disk into the Amiga and copy the image to RAM:, then uncompress and write back using adf2disk. It's a little faster than transferring over serial but there are a lot of steps...

Bought them second hand from my local game store for about 300FIM (50-ish bucks in 1999/2000 money), used them for about an hour, got a ridiculous splitting headache and took them back the next day. I guess that’s why the price was so low!

In 2007, I performed a senior prank using Apple remote desktop. From my video production class, I booted into single user and stole the admin hash. Cracked the password at home, and it was the same for every computer in the district. A few days later I sent every computer on the network to meatspin.com. . Had to talk to the cops, but no probable cause was ever found. I was a legend that summer.

Snuck into a lab and changed all the PSUs from 240VAC to 120VAC at lunch time. then awaited the kaboom when the master switch was flicked. I'm not sure who had a bigger fright. Also at Uni they were still deploying wireless networking and didn't advertise it. Man did we have some fantastic :files: setup for those in the know. Also Netsend worked campus wide from what we could tell.

We used to paint over the metal terminals on Ethernet wall jacks with clear nail polish in high school. This was way before WiFi and just a couple years after BNC networking so Ethernet was the only option

This reminds me of a time when I was in college around 2003 and the digital imaging professor somehow convinced the school that he needed an Xserve for his computer lab, and he put a huge library of cracked programs, games, music, etc on the server that only the photography and graphic design students had access to. That was the first time I saw a terabyte of music, and it seemed impossible. This was also around when iTunes would still let you not only see other people’s iTunes libraries, but would also let you download their music, so just connecting to the college network would unlock hundreds of student iTunes libraries. It’s kind of insane to think about how much music was available seemingly overnight.

FilthyImp posted:It seems like a fine line to walk between "this guy's gonna wreck security" and "wow that's really ingenious " on tech related jobs. When interviewing a candidate for a sysadmin position, I briefly describe the way our office does filtering of inappropriate websites, and then ask them how they would get around the blocking and view the site anyway. If they do okay with that, I have them brainstorm ways they could break in from outside: "You have root on your local workstation here at your desk but no control over the edge router or any other networking hardware. How could you set something up so that you could get to the company intranet from home at midnight tonight? All the ways you could think of to do it, just throw them all at me." I do usually have to reassure them that no, this is not a trap, I'm just looking for technical creativity and general comfort with networking. The ones who grin and immediately start pitching good workable ideas are almost always the best of the bunch. The ones who are completely baffled because they'd never even considered such a thing? Not so much.

I ran an ssh tunnel every day at work for years because the web filter would arbitrarily decide that innocuous sites were inappropriate, and I 1) wanted to be able to view them, and 2) didn't want to get in trouble for repeatedly going to "adult websites" which were actually about C programming.

Giant Bomb has this issue because they are a website about video games and CBS' content filtering blocks sites they need to go for being related to video games.

Sysadmins were clearly goons then. Can you detail how you did the tunneling? I've never had to deal with them so I don't really grok the process. I've got a VPS up doing dumb poo poo so I assume I could just set something up in powershell and point at that if I'm ever working with a client that has deemed it necessary to block access to documentation for my tools again.

I've got a VPS up doing dumb poo poo so I assume I could just set something up in powershell and point at that if I'm ever working with a client that has deemed it necessary to block access to documentation for my tools again. As long as you can ssh into your VPS, this should work from either Powershell or a bash prompt in Linux/MacOS: code:Then set up Firefox to use localhost:12345 as a SOCKS proxy. At the bottom of the General tab of the Firefox preferences is a button for the network settings; change to "Manual proxy configuration" with a SOCKS v5 host of "localhost" and a port number of "12345". Then go into about :config and change network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to true. You're done; open up a site like icanhazip.com and you should see that you're now coming from your VPS's IP. Just don't forget to put the network settings back from Manual Proxy to normal (usually "No proxy") when you're done, or the browser won't work once you've dropped the ssh connection! If you like, you can get add-ons that will let you switch this back and forth very quickly, or you can set up different Firefox profiles with different settings. I have a profile on my work laptop called "subrosa" that has the SOCKS setup and a distinctive visual theme, so I won't confuse it with a browser window I do actual work stuff in.) If you hate Firefox, I think you can do SOCKS stuff in Chrome now, but I don't know how off the top of my head.
