Adlai: it may indeed be a
DoS on minds, withholding relevant problems by suggesting subtly irrelevant ones in their stead
mircea_popescu: "If the siteA string is empty, it is taken to be the local machine. A target like @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@victim would cause high load by recursive finger invocations, and could be used to contribute to a
DOS attack. Michael H. Warfield reports that in a SUN NIS environment it is easy to kill a network using finger."
nubbins`: all the
dos are white and all the don'ts are black
nubbins`: magazine publishes "fashion
dos and don'ts"
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Schools used to tend towards Mac fo a reason and that was Nvir vs all those damn
DOS & Windows virii
brendafdez: Well, my first computer was a Pentium 100 Mhz with 8 MB RAM that my parents bought in 1996, I stayed with that thing until 2005 or so. For many years that meant that I used
DOS and Win3.11 daily bc W98 was too much for that piece of hardware. Once around 1999/2000 I borrowed from a friend a linux book which came with a Red Hat CD but dual booting was not an option (also the HDD was like 500 MB). It brings back memories seeing those in
mircea_popescu: this is like saying "my ms
dos fixedsys display is graphical"
saifedean: it'd be swimming with british stag
dos and russian billionaires otherwise
punkman: so did you get
DoS'd the other day?
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i love old microshit tho. found a copy of 3d studio R1 from 1990, and it runs on ms
dos BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I think whoever they are is in the
DoS loop
BingoBoingo: Stunna: Some asshole has a
DoS bot running
BingoBoingo: Asenath: Well on freenode you prolly want to pick up a cloak to avoid mystery
DoS bot.
mike_c: kakobrekla, are you/assbot getting
dos'd?
BingoBoingo: But the FCC internet will give users Fat Pipes, to better
DoS real people with.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: BitcoinXT is the hearn foundation Bitcoin fork which has all kinds of features even Gavin rejected because they make nodes incredibly more
DoS attackable
BingoBoingo: starzz_: Also you probably want to go to #freenode and request a cloak, some asshole intermittently runs a
DoS bot here
punkman: pseudonode also useful for
DoS experiments and such
Adlai: sorry, this one:
http://spritesmods.com/?art=hddhack&page=6 "The Western Digital firmware upgrade tools proves this is possible: it's basically a tool you run under
DOS to put new firmware to both the flash and the service area aka the reserved sectors of the hard disk."
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> laptop, palmtop (can get ms-
dos!) etc << Sharp Zarus
mircea_popescu: today it's not a particularly valuable
dos attack on bitcoin because whatever, 1mb blocks.
BingoBoingo: onewhosits: More just some vandal has a bot that lurks and
DoS's connections as it seens them join. Cloak should be enough to defeat that. To connect with Tor you'd need a cloak anyway.
BingoBoingo: Hides your IP, because it is hard to tell when
DoS bot will return
mircea_popescu: this ensures that trying to ram-
dos the node would require as many different nodes as a fifth of the total number of blocks it can hold.
BingoBoingo: Just have to remember that carelessly configured ntp accessible on the network is one of the
DoS amplification venues we hate
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Earlier he said his bouncer was getting
DoS...
mats:
dos via cert chain replacement
Adlai: more like "
DoS centralization courtesy of CloudFlare"
mircea_popescu: 2293 i recall was a retarded
dos that had about 0 practical use
BingoBoingo: Because when your hammer is a
DoS, every nail is a website
dignork: so it normally cannot read your /dev/whatever to check the physical location, but sure, it's potentially
DOS/crash, not an effective code execution.
dignork: decimation: cool paper, scary, otherwise I didn't bother to calcualte probabilities for uncontrolled random scenario, or non-
DOS attack vector.
BingoBoingo: He came here because he heard about
DoS bot
Anduck: kakobrekla: indeed. why would someone
dos some random people at irc
Anduck: so, the 'experience' would be you trying to
dos me?
mircea_popescu: NAT. We also show that a natural countermeasure of using Tor or other anonymity services can be cut-off by abusing anti-
DoS countermeasures of the bitcoin network. Our attacks require only a few machines and have been experimentally verified. We propose several countermeasures to mitigate these new attacks.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> compare ms-
dos, still to this day accepted here as a paragon of programming << news to me
mircea_popescu: compare ms-
dos, still to this day accepted here as a paragon of programming,
danielpbarron: 05:22 <+BingoBoingo> I suspected he was going to
DoS home ips << p.sure that's what happened to me this morning
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Oh response<< any idea what that's supposed to mean ? << Not much, I think @TheRealSolid impiled my stupidity is why qntra is under constant
DoS mircea_popescu: imagine this, a 12 yo could figure out the serial port interface in ms-
dos, without even knowing wtf a port or an interface are.
Vexual: that other news outlet reported sr2 getting a big
dos a few weeks ago
decimation: I distinctly remember seeing word on windows and thinking it was a huge step back from wordperfect on
dos mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> under rusty old msdos one can, generally, actually program in c << because, again, if i want to kil a ms-
dos dependency I DELETE THE FILE
decimation: it was the best thing my family bought me, I learned
dos, played kings quest & space quest, learned to write in wordperfect
assbot: Ubuntu is a worse piece of shit than MS-
DOS ever was. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: jurov what i meant on this instance was that pasting
dos text in linux gpg results in double line breaks and an unprocessable inpuit.
cazalla: getting hit with xrumer type comment spam too since around time
dos started
jurov: both logs and freenode are
dos'd?
BingoBoingo: Well he's
DOS'ing stuff from in here so he's probably getting paid by someone from elsewhere
BingoBoingo: I just file support tickets and frontline support derps about how they don't see a
DOS BingoBoingo: So it looks like tonight thedrinkingrecord is getting all the
DOS RagnarDanneskjol: i told him to look into digi ocean - they have built-in 'guaranteed anti
DOS and are about as reliable as anything I have found - its what many of the large pools run on
cazalla: looks like
dos is over for now
BingoBoingo: r3wt: Qntra.net is a thing. It pissed people off. Attracts massive
DOS attacks in its second week of life. Just take a minute to imagine yourself as a newsman.
BingoBoingo: Getting a
DOS out the ass because Mullenwang of Wordpress can't stop sucking that dick

Dos
