Not to kick a guy when he is down (how often does a world famous artist email you out of the blue and say you are jumping at shadows?), but good christ you do not advertize webpage design on a website with MIDI music!

] Episode 78 - Cryptography (original air date: 01/11/2005)

Stankdawg's web radio program -- I was co-host for this week's episode. Check the link to download the MP3. We talked about some "Cryptography 101" stuff, including a brief overview of the PhreakNIC v3.0 Code and Kryptos. We ran out of time discussing the Cyrillic Projector, but may cover it in a future show.

Thanks to SD for inviting me!

The Periodic Table like you have NEVER seen

] PhreakNIC has had between 300-400 attendees per year for the
] last three years. I think you can remove the "possibly"
] qualifier before "even smaller."

I'd really be interested in the attendee rate at the Interz0nes. Rockit and Johhny are rather biased sources. Its hard to gauge number of people at these things, because not everyone shows up to all the talks, and some people pay for the con and only come to one or two events. I only go to certain talks, and never really hang out with the gamers or the Rootwars or the Hacking 101 rooms. And a lot of 101ers never come to the other talks. Here are my estimates for the Interz0nes

1: ~125 +-10
2: ~275 +-50
3: ~250 +-25

Interz0ne 3 felt like it had less people than IZ2, (of course, any observations I can make about IZ2 are probably wrong as I had a lot of shit to handle!)

Other cons I've been too:

Hope: ~Too many
Phreaknic 7, 8: 300+ sounds about right
Toorcon 2004: 500+

Con attendence

These things are basically 20gig iPod Photos on crack.

Basic Specs:
-220 x 176 color screen (64k colors? maybe?)
-20 gig hard drive
-MP3 OGG and WMV playback
-JPG/BMP/GIF Pictures
-Reads TXT files! Ebooks anyone?
-Xvid Video playback at 10fps (can hack up to 24fps) with new firmware
-16 hours of battery life
-Acts an external hard drive
-USB On-the-go. Download pictures directly off your digital camera/devices (With firmware upgrade)

Here is the steal! They are listed on Best Buy's website at $329.99. However most stores they will ring up at $266.99 or even $214.99. The Best Buy at Northlake (285 and Lavista) sells them at $214.99. The cool part is, Best Buy has to match prices, even their own! Simple ask them to check the availablity of the product at other stores, which will also show the price at the other stores. Jill and I went up to the store off Pleasant Hill (up 85, 3 exits outside 285) and it rang up $266. When we told them to check the Northlake store, they knock the price down.

Supposedly, these are being discontinued. However all the stores we checked with were still receiving new shipments. The service lady that told us that kind of sucked, and seemed to be wrong.

This is a great deal! Sure movie playbakc isn't great, but it wasn't even an originally planned feature! $214 for an external 20gig USB 2.0 HDD, with OGG support, Picture viewing, AND limited video. That rocks my world!

Holy crap! iRivers H320: MP3/OGG/Pics/VIDEO for $216!

] Protecting Critical Elements of Stacks
]
] The exploitation of buffer overflow and format string
] vulnerabilities in process stacks constitutes a
] significant portion of security attacks in recent years.
] We present a new method to detect and handle such
] attacks. In contrast to previous work, our method does
] not require any modification to the operating system and
] works with existing binary programs. Our method does not
] require access to the source code of defective programs,
] nor does it require recompilation or off-line processing
] of binaries. Furthermore, it can be implemented on a
] system-wide basis transparently. Our solution is based on
] a middleware software layer that intercepts all function
] calls made to library functions that are known to be
] vulnerable. A substitute version of the corresponding
] function implements the original functionality, but in a
] manner that ensures that any buffer overflows are
] contained within the current stack frame, thus,
] preventing attackers from 'smashing' (overwriting) the
] return address and hijacking the control flow of a
] running program. We have implemented our solution on
] Linux as a dynamically loadable library called libsafe.
] Libsafe has demonstrated its ability to detect and
] prevent several known attacks, but its real benefit, we
] believe, is its ability to prevent yet unknown attacks.
] Experiments indicate that the performance overhead of
] libsafe is negligible.

] No they don't. Gilmour is a boring guitarist perfect who like
] their music stodgy and stale. Nick Mason could fall asleep
] behind the drum kit and no one would notice much of a
] difference in his playing, and Roger Waters is tone deaf,
] monotonal, less talented as a vocalist than even someone as
] lame-brained as Ozzy Ozbourne, and his songwriting sucks.
] Only pretentious white-baseball cap wearing fratboy cunts like

Vile... wow. You are just so dreamy!

Star light, Star bright
I wish I may, I wish I might,
make this swee man Vile mine tonight!

Oh Vile, your constant cursing... its just so dangerous! So counter-culture! I'll fly to NJ right now and we can be together! I know the perfect first date: We can go to Hot Topic and tell everyone how punk we are! We can yell "pig" and "facsist" at the security guards! I just know you wouldn't let them beat your ass again, because you are so strong and tough with words! Then we can walk home (only fucking TOOLS and preppies drive fucking cars), smoke our unfiltered Clove cigs (fucking goths smoking our cigs!) and complain about how boring, self important, and full of shit our parents are! Don't worry, I'll still love you while you live in their garage! I understand its The Man who keeps you from having a good job, and who wants you to shower and stuff! Fucking capitalist pigs, don't they understand you are too important for that stuff! Working is for chumps. I'll do my best to give you an environment to nurture your deep and profound thoughts to contribute to Memestreams like "K is a bleeding dog," and that time you called skullka "a nasty, unintelligent hogbitch." Those losers just don't know how awesome you are! I mean, you have an audience of what, 5 whole people! Seems that only 5 people are worth a damn! They need more people who say "fuck" alot and make funny of everyone! Oh yeah, and too contribute more things like Porn queens and AIDs! I never tire of reading your rants! Maybe we can post about how everyone is too stupid to understand the Dead Kennedys like we do! I mean, we are so profound! Obviously everyone on Memestreams should respect you, I mean you must have a *HUGE* dick, because you are so aggressive! tough.

Oh Vile, I just can't Wait!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111 LOL! ^_^
Metal 4-eva!

Wow.... you are so dreamy!

So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
but they tell me to please go fuck myself
You know you just can't win
