Dark_Matter

Seems to me you felt the need to be a smart azz.

Information can be found about it online if you look hard enough maybe not the exact method i used, but probably similar, and again i felt i would share. I'm not one to gloat, and it's ashame you think it is, and if you really feel that strongly about it why post on this thread?

I thought i would share my find, and inform people a little bit about it. Why does anyone post what they post? I believe it is to share, and inform people. It would be ignorant on my part to post a exploit that someone could use to crash thousands of peoples pcs if giving the chance, and even more ignorant of someone to expect me to post it. Just thought i'd share what i had discovered.

Dell is phazing out the 9300, and starting to sale the 9400 more or less.

It appears the Dell I9300 has a partner/new buddy. http://configure.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=ca&CS=CADHS1&l=en&oc=OCINSP9402_RBP_CH9402E&~pbar=true

Can you please post the source of your information? I've checked the major sites including the Anti-Virus vendors sites, and don't see any warnings yet. I'm not saying it's not true, but just would like to see where you got this from. Thanks

I was messing around with some commands on namp last night on my dedicated box doing some scans on one of my Computers at home, and i ran accross a few commands if issued right from nmap can crash as far as i know atleast any XP Home or Pro machine. I tested it 4 times, and each time i was able to make the machine freeze up with the special crafted nmap command. Note: (And no i will not post what command can do it) It is very intresting though wether you have a windows based firewall on or not it will still crash the machine.

My website i actually took down because i don't have any more room to host more people without causing a slow down to existing customers. The site says Under Construction, but that's not the real story real story is no more space. (LOL)

Well i filled one of them up with customers after just about 2 months getting into the hosting business so with the customers i have on one box it almost pays for itself the other box is for my own personal use.

For both of them it's $500.00 a month. For just one it's $249.95 a month.

I ran some of the most demanding linux distro's off off 233 mhz machines with 96 megs of ram or less, and though it was sluggish at times never had any real issues. Although my dedicated boxes at serverpronto which both run debian their stats are as follows. Dual AMD Opteron 240

What fried your ram? There is no way linux fried your ram. Memory doesn't care what os you use.

Here is how easy it was to install samba. I just installed it about 2 mins ago to show the ease of which it is done. apt-get install samba Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

If you are installing it on a spare machine that's awesome, but if you are installing it on a pc you use alot just setup a dual boot system so you can boot into windows, or debian when you like. Also i would suggest installing webmin or some type of GUI to help you out along the way for those times when the shell seems to much for you especially if you are new to linux. You will have may questions feel free to ask away when you need help.

Honestly just about any distro of linux will run a file server great. For ease of use i'd say debian, and thats not just because i like it, but just beacause it's true.

Besides ubuntu linux debian has been the easiest thus far. http://www.debian.org/ http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/index.en.html the apt system in debian makes it so easy to install and unistall things that the OS pretty much does it itself.

Yes there are a few distros of linux that make installing new software/programs a breeze, and also security updates. Like i said in a ealier post i'm a big fan of debian linux right now. I also like Slackware Linux, and SUSE linux.

Linux is not very hard to learn, and if you install it on a home machine you have the advantage of gnome or KDE for desktop environments. I really shouldn't give examples of linux within a shell it always turns people away because it looks complex. I learned linux at a time when doing everything from the shell was (w00t) these days you can accomplish it all via a GUI also.

Here is a screenshot:

That's pretty easy to do via Webmin, plesk or putty, but seeing as how i hate GUI's i like putty because i'm more comfortable in a shell environment. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

nmap -sP 219.66.229.135 Starting nmap 3.81 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-01-29 05:37 EST Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -P0 Nmap finished: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 2.068 seconds It appears whoever was using this address they won't be now it is indeed down i ran some other tests after this, and this ip is inactive at the moment.

I always use the whois system on my dedicated linux boxes i always get a more accurate return with them than i do any web based whois system. With the help of the whois system on my linux box, and nmap not much you can't get when breifly investigating a network ip range or system.
