The Forum FTP is a service run by myself (The FTP is in no way officially affiliated with Roguesci or Roguesci's members.) for over a year now. It is a large collection of files related to everything explosives, combat, improvised weapons, drugs, and general chemistry. It has also recently expanded to include software both chemistry related and not, movies, a PGP key database for members, as well as free image hosting so long as the images are for Roguesci.

Please read the new <a href="ftp://ewf:sd332gf@209.195.155.80/Hosted%20Images/FTP%20FAQ.pdf" target="_blank">FAQ</a> !

If you would like an account , <a href="http://www.roguesci.org/ftp.html" target="_blank">go here</a> and fill out <a href="http://www.roguesci.org/forms/ctrlcftpapp.html" target="_blank">this form</a> and I will contact you within 2 weeks with either an account or a rejection notice. If you do not receive either in 2 weeks, complete the form again and email me at ctrl_c@hushmail.com with "process account" in the subject line.

After receiving your account information, download <a href="ftp://ewf:sd332gf@209.195.155.80/Hosted%20Images/FTP%20software%20package.zip" target="_blank">this software package.</a> ~Requires WinZip to open (www.winzip.com)

I am accepting donations to help fund the FTP . I hopefully want to build an independent server to be put in a server farm in the area. However, this requires a lot of money that I can't come up with. The benefits of this would be I could set up remote access for a select few to help organize files, create/manage accounts, etc. Also, it would be set up on a more stable platform that would never crash and we could get fractional T1 for cheap. Email me if you are interested.

If you would like to upload movies, follow these guidelines: they should be under 1GB (for a normal length movie. Ex: Dune was a two disc set so I ripped it to 3 files), frame rate not below 24fps, and they MUST be of similar overall quality to the ones on there already, meaning very little or no pixelation, encoding artifacts, interlacing artifacts etc. I am very adamant about this. HD space and bandwidth are not free. I will not host shit.

P.S. special thanks to all the members and staff who make this possible.

I e-mailed you a while back about a personal account I didn't get a reply, at the time though you refused accounts though.
I will edit and resend the the e-mail.

BTW (to the admins): I am constantly getting 403 forbidden errors I will occasionally get though and manage to veiw a page or rarer still post a reply. I understand why these measures have been implemented, though I find them annoying.
Please Mega or NBK can you remove the 403 errors or atleast mobify them so they no longer affect me :( .

The 403s that you are getting is an error. The only way you would intentionally get them was if you had been banned, and then that's all you would get, ever.

Bear with it, once the move to the new server is complete, the problem may dissapear.

Flake2m, do you have a static or a dynamic ip adress, how do you connect to the net? If you have a dynamic adress where your provider assigns you a new adress out of a limited pool every time you connect, it may be that you'd get a banned one ocassionaly, in which case we couldn't do much.

The entire FTP contents were backed up to cd-r yesterday thanks to a new 48x cd-rw drive purchased with money from an anonymous member contributing $22. There is currently $5 in the FTP account balance.

I have finally found a way around the 403 errors. It is called patience :rolleyes: .
Ctrl_C what is you policy on foreign currency exchange?

There are many people here that would like to contribute money to the forum FTP but because they are in another part of the world and different currencies, it makes it a bit more time consuming then needed. In short:
If someone where to send you money for the forum FTP, would you get it exchanged or would we have to convert it beforehand?

Ctrl_C did you get that e-mail I sent you about an FTP acount? I still haven't received a reply.

In the UK for example, you can change Pound Sterling into any other currency commission free at the Post Offices around the country. For one person to change $20s worth of local currency is a fairly normal everyday occurance for the workers. However, someone coming in with small amounts of Au dollars, British pounds, Euros etc will seem a bit strange, and would be quite annoying. So, in short, convert the currency first into dollars before sending - it would make life easier for Ctrl_C.

I just looked at it myself and it seems to be working fine. Are you using a dedicated FTP client or just internet explorer? I ask because I had the same problem when I was using just the internet explorer. Also it might just be Ctrl_C was tinkering with something.

I have actually been talking about running the library for a few years now. I have never really gotten around to it, it's almost like trying to run a warez site. Something always comes up to distract me, and Ctrl_C has pretty much done most of the work for me. With the bottom falling out of the free webspace market things just got harder. Fear not, I have some other ideas in the wings.

I have proposed a P2P file trading system with tagged files that members can exchange.
I hope to promote the personal creation of FTP sites.
I hope to encourage more memebrs to build their own websites.
I am working on the links database.
Notice how things mean less work for me once the get running :)

I would realy like to see this Library get off the ground, the Gov't under the guise of safety would love to remove all INFORMATION concerning these topics, so we will become mindless simpletons. I like what this site and memebers do and strive for in the name of Freedom of Information. Plus just love to learn new things..

I'm still getting a flakey reasponse from my Serv-U hopefully I can get it up a running again by next weekend.

I'm curently uploading the whole [less the speacial] Season of RCG TV.. 90mb but they are in wmv format and could realy use a conversion to a better compressed format.

@Helos: you don't have a personal account, apply for one by emailing me at ctrl_c@hushmail.com

@studen and everybody: I've thought about this for a while and I'm going to say no, you can't buy cd's if you don't have an account. my reasoning is this: forum members contributed all of the information. also, people are screened to make sure they aren't idiots and won't kill themselves with the info. I make sure of this for every member. It would be wrong of me to sell information that isn't mine to people who haven't contributed and not screen for idiots.

@Zyklon: CD's can include anything.

@Eliteforum: No, I don't at the moment. I ran an mp3 FTP a while ago but I dont recognize that site my name is registered on and I almost never leave out the _ or a space in ctrl_c. I would be very interested in where you saw that site.

@darkdontay: if you are serious about hosting, I can mail you cd's complete with serv-u files containing all member info. member accounts would be approved by me and forwarded to you. screw me though and die.

The complete FTP spans 18 discs right now, 8 of which are warez. Special deal: all 18 for $25 plus shipping, all 10 (no warez) for $12 plus shipping.

Re: Megalomania's idea of a peer to peer network to ease the load on Ctrl_C's FTP server.

There is a free P2P program called Shareaza that lets you connect to any IP address you specify and browse their shared files. Provided that they have enabled file browsing of course.

Members with always on internet connections could run Shareaza and provide their IP address to other (selected) members. We would then be able to connect to many other members and search for files. Acquiring files would be rapidly achieved by downloading the one file from several different sources simultaneously.

As far as I am able to tell there is no spyware or adware incorporated into the program.

Edit: Doh! Forgot to provide a link :rolleyes:

I'm game with a DSL. However, would ICQ filesharing not be a better solution? SOme DSL providers do not provide a fixed IP address, but ICQ numbers remain the same. I have used ICQ file transfer to send DiVX movies to my brother at university, as the sysadmin there blocks filesharing sites/ports/protocols, and is quite proactive about it.

Perhaps an ICQ filesharing ring, with a server list on Ctrl_C's FTP server, on the root?

no trick... write your program (.asm ) with an edit program, run the masm (creates .obj)

but there is a modern clone of this old microsoft macro assembler (MASM)... no command lines,
but desktops and menus... the MASM32 by hutch. try it out.

The Forum doesn't have an IRC chat room because of the possible legal problems people could get into by saying things they shouldn't have said because the immediate nature of IRC doesn't allow reflection on what you're saying, thus you may say something you shouldn't have said.

Also, I'm very much against the idea of any kind of file sharing system. These things are a direct line into your computer, leaving it vulnerable to exploitation, tracking, or some other mischief.

I guess you can download filezilla and get an IP spoofer, that should work NBK.

The truth is that the danger of detection is always there when we connect to the net, and if there was any funny business, i am sure that word would spread and the culprit would be ostracised and hacked by over 100 people.

Say one were interested in buying some or all of the ftp cd's, how would they pay you, just mail you some cash in the mail? How would they be sent - normal mail again?

SATANIC
December 28th, 2002, 03:54 PM
I'm also interested in the cd's....

so how would that be arranged ? Also, how would one go about geting US currncy in Australia ? I assume also that it would be sent by registered mail ?

Is there any sort of index drawn up, then, if the cd's could be arranged, I'd know what to download, and what was already on the cd's. I assume that the file structure on the FTP is also the same on the cd's.

I have a high speed burner, would it be easier for me to send out copies to those in Aus, and then just forward cash to you Ctrl_C ? that would save a lot in postage, making it more affordable for members, but keeping the profits high. Just a thought.

Last thing, every parcel sent into Australia now is screened, through a few steps... is there any way that the cd's could be discuised as family photo cd's or something ? I really don't want to be tracked with that sort of stuff.

nbk2000

They could always be PGP encrypted using a passphrase that'd be sent to the buyer only after he acknowledged receiving them.

Then, if customs intercepts them, he can deny knowing its contents since he truthfully doesn't know the passphrase needed to decrypt the contents. So, since the piggies don't know what's on it, the only thing they can do is throw them away. :)

Unless you live in a crypto-facist police state like england where you can go to prison for a couple of years for not revealing your crypto key. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

Thats true about England, however I think it'd be better to risk going to prison for a few years than reveal the key. Plus you'd probably get a shitload of support from civil liberty groups in the UK and a lot of media coverage.

December 29th, 2002, 08:23 AM
wouldn't the fact that you recieved the private key after you acknowleged recieving the CD protect you from this. as you would not be able to tell the piggies the key for the CD therefore you would not be withholding information from them. and if you were asked for your key, you could just send an e-mail which said you had been busted (using a subtle phrase or sentnce)

In the event some information is sensitive enough to go to jail rather than reveal, it would be better to use a stenography program to embed it into a file. The data is not discernable from noise unless you know the key with which it was encrypted so its virtually impossible for them to prove you have any secret data on the disk. There must be a program to embed information into movies, then all you need is some holiday film. You cant use existing internet film becuase a comparason could be made which would at least reveal the file had been altered. So far all Ive seen is for embedding data into individual images. Data space is pretty cheep nowerdays and its getting a lot cheeper, so who cares if 90% of the space is wasted to provide 100% security, at least in terms of spot checks.

nbk2000
December 30th, 2002, 11:38 PM
There's a program called "Stego-dart", developed by the government, that'll detect stego'd files created by over 150 of the most common stego programs, with new programs being constantly added.

So, stego alone isn't enough. It may complicate the process a little, but it won't prevent detection. Only encryption can keep the contents secure.

But, crypto is only as secure as the weakest person who knows the passphrase. If they want the info bad enough, they'll just torture you till you give up the passphrase.

Now, as regards the FTP CD's, you would want to go to an internet kiosk somewhere else, using a free e-mail account created specifically for that purpose. NEVER use your home or work computer for this purpose since it's easily traced and recorded by piggies.

Then, once you've received the CD's, you leave the package unopened for a few days. Then, after the days have passed, you go to the internet kiosk and let _C know you're good for the passphrase.

This way, if the pigs are letting you get the package in the hopes of busting you after you've decrypted it, because they'll assume you already have the passphrase, they'll be saddly disappointed.

In the US (at least, last I heard), you can't be held liable for the contents of an unopened package since anyone can order anything to your address, or send you illegal shit through the mail without your knowledge.

Postal inspectors, who sell kiddie-porn to pedophiles through sting ads, will have the goods delivered to the freaks house...give him 10 minutes to open the package, then rush in to bust them before they can hide it.

However, it occassionaly happens that one of the bicycle seat sniffers <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> is tardy in opening the package. In which case, the postal inspectors are shit out of luck because they can't prove that the person who got the package is the same person who ordered it.

So, if you ever recieve something through the mail that you shouldn't have (and didn't order yourself) like drugs, kiddie-porn, body parts, whatever...IMMEDIATELY call the post office and report it. That's your only defense in court against the (possible) impending raid and subsequent accusations against you.

SATANIC
December 31st, 2002, 01:14 AM
Encryption sounds good enough. It was on the news not long ago that EVERY parcel is now xrayed, so I was wondering the canches of them opening it anyway.... a box or envelope full of cd's is going to look like pirated software or movies, which they would be interested in intercepting.

I doubt they have a setup to check such things, but as long as it's just marked with a harmless name or whatever.... no problems.

I'll see about getting money changed, I've just never needed to, so it was a bit foreign to me.

As soon as I can get an adress to send it to, I'll be after the ful set.

It was shortly after September 11 that a highly publicized experiment hit the media about a scientist working for the government tested a steganographic detection system on several popular websites like Ebay. They surmised that terrorists might be hiding messages in the images at popular websites. They didn’t expect to find anything really, but they wanted to demonstrate the technology.
This really annoyed me at the time because a year before the attacks I had started to use steganographic encryption to hide portions of various pdf books into images and upload them to websites. I still use this technique to make images the equivalent of zip files as free websites nowadays do not allow zip, rar, arj, pdf, or exe files to crack down on piracy. Now that any fool knows how to do what I had already been doing it makes me less special because I was no longer on the cutting edge.
Anyway, there are a few flaws in the steganographic detection technology. First of all there are new stego programs being released that thwart detection technology. Second, there are some techniques that can be used to make a steganographicly encrypted file quite hard to detect. An image file, html document, or mp3 file can all have content hidden in them using the most prevalent software. Each of these files only have so much space to use up before the jig is up. If too much content is hidden in a file it becomes quite obvious to the detection programs. It is this that they look for. The newer programs account for this and can limit the amount of content to make a hidden file quite difficult to detect. For example, I cram as much as 1-2 MB of content into a 50 kB image file because I don’t care about detection. These images would stick out like a sore thumb. A 1-2 kB text file containing a secret message hidden in such an image would be quite difficult to detect without a more detailed analysis, an analysis the detection programs don’t go into.
To be current you have to always get an up to date stego program capable of thwarting the detectors. Steganography is analogous to cracking encryption, new and better ways keep coming out to find what is hidden, and so new and better ways keep coming out to make sure that which is hidden stays hidden.
The stego programs I use also include regular encryption as part of the hiding process. Like nbk said, just hiding the file is not enough. Steganography is not meant to be the beginning and end of security, it is meant as an added layer of security to prevent an encrypted file from being noticed. The prevailing wisdom is if someone sees a file that is encrypted they will want to know what it is because it is likely juicy info, whereas if the encrypted file is not obvious they will assume it is not interesting.

I knew a guy that once ordered 20 lbs of marijuana through the mail (dumb ass). When his “special delivery” arrived it was followed, 20 minutes later, by a postal inspector swat team task force. Now the good news, the warrant for the raid listed a description of the neighbors house, not his. As warrants are supposed to be quite specific he walked on a technicality. And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the cop house that day for yea the judge said unto thee, you are free, free, free. :D

January 1st, 2003, 06:50 PM
I've been at a talk about this experiment, by the guy who did it, Niels Provo. But it seems it was misreported in the media.
He's a security researcher who was sick of all the stories that were fed to the press about terrorists using stego to hide their evil messages on ebay and porn sites, as he felt, just like many others in and outside of the security community, that the Feds were preparing a new crackdown on privacy enhancers.
So he developed methods and a tool to detect stego, downloaded about 2 million images from ebay using a crawler he created for the job and then tested every image. He didn't find any messages he could use his self-developed stego-cracker on.
The testing of the porn sites was done by Simple Nomad, as far as I know.
Afterwards, Niels developed new stego techniques that were immune to his attacks afterwards, so he tested a technology, broke it and then improved it.

I know one of the reasons it was turned off was, people were downlaoding a files as it was being uploaded, their by if the connection to the Upload was lost only a partial download would be achived. It cause too much headache.

And the files were not able to be checked out first... anything could be uploaded and unsuspecting people could download something nasty, their was a virus on something before IIRC.

I have been thinking the exact same thing Jelly - either move the files more quickly or give us the ability to download from the uploads folder. However, moving the files more quickly is a little unfair, as _C runs this thing in his own time and for free, so I think the best option would be to reinstate the ability to download from the uploads folder.

Yes, this is exactly what I (my translation program :) ) wanted to say.

But there is a problem: Apart from the members (with Membername/Password) guests also
have access to the same upload folder. If one merely would change the access settings
(permission) of that folder from "write only" to "read/write only", all guests could suck
the newest stuff and slow down the bandwidth.
The easiest way to solve this problem would be to create a separate upload folder (write only) for the guests.

I think the second upload folder for guests is a good one, when I was running a backup server on my system I had a seperate one for guests. It seemed to work okay. Though again it comes back to the Bandwidth conflict with reinstating the Read access. Third option is to be very Zen like and wait a couple weeks [month[s]] for the switch. But it is all up to Ctrl_C. I'm still just glad we have this system at all, and that it is some where we can trust.

Why not just make it so that those who have access to the FTP already can access it? It shouldnt be too much work to add permissions to those who already have access, and this way you could keep the upload ability open to non-FTP members.

Something tells me though that the way I worded that doesnt make much since....

Well, while he (_C) could be more punctual in moving the files out of the uploads folder to the recent folder, it's a good thing that it's read-only.

It used to happen, back when it was read/write, that a person would be uploading something while others were trying to download it, thus causing file corruption.

By making it write only to the uploads, a person can finish uploading the file without any interuptions.

Ctrl_C
January 13th, 2003, 12:07 AM
yeah, i'll try to move those more often.

the hardest part is catagorizing them from recent. those files sit there forever. for those, I have to physically open them (meaning I have to have all the software to open all those different file types), then physically read it or figure out what it is (weird CAD drawings and such), and catagorize it into 1 of 477 folders. doing that sucks.

Satanic great idea if Crtl_c allows it put me on the list for CD's downunder. I get cd's all the time from US by OZ post and they have never been opened. Since some of us my not have High speed access we could send CD's with goodies to Ctrl_C as well or any one else. I have a lot of info on cds and this would be easier than to try to upload it all.

There wouldn't be any problem with the read/write permission if all members would download only complete files.
Rule: Don't touch any file whose file date is less than 2 days old! :)

Ctrl_C:

It would be easier for you, if we would sort our files according to topics (combat, weapons, explosives, others, warez etc.)
and then upload them into the corresponding subdirectories of the upload folder.

In addition, it would be nice if some uploaders would use more detailed file names:

"BOOOMbook.pdf" isn't good..... "SEMTEX, C-4's Ugly Sister.pdf" is so much better :D

"WHAMBAMM.pdf" isn't good...... "VEST-BUSTERS: How To Make Your Own Body-Armor Piercing Bullets.pdf" is so much better :D

That's what pisses me off about the FTP. There's probably a ton of great info I won't bother downloading because the uploader picks some stupid name like FRAP89.pdf (30MB). What the FUCK is that?! :confused:

I'm not going to waste time on downloading something that's probably shite, when I could better use it for downloading something, the nature of which I know thanks to a well choosen name like "Incendiary Weapons" or "War Gases".

And a perfect example of crap that we don't need...coffee.pdf. What the FUCK is a pdf file on making COFFEE doing on an E&W FTP?! ARRRGGHHHH!

Also, we both know that there's always going to be some idiot who'll try downloading the file, regardless of whether or not it's only 2 minutes old, let alone wait two days. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

The quality of the "Uncle Fester" movie is really horrible... in video (only 3 frames/second) and sound.

The original title of this movie is "Cookin' Crank with Uncle Fester", it was produced
by "The Graveyard Chicks" and published on VHS cassette some years ago.

Does anyone have this movie in a much better quality?

no offense but I don't trust members to upload things to the right subdirs. It's hard for me to place them sometimes, I'm not going to let some 12 year old do it.

As far as file names, write down which files have bad names and a better name for it and email them to me periodically. I will change them. I do change them myself once they go from recent to the proper dir's. like i said though, hard to find time to do that and it's a giant pain in the ass.

I'm looking at creating some power accounts to people I trust where they could d/l from recent, review the file, change the name, sort it, and file it, all remotely.

As far as server upgrades, a new server will cost $5000US. I don't know if this is possible. As far as this server, realize this is just my personal PC. It was never built to run this type of thing. Right now our biggest problem is no redundancy. 15GB of files and no backup except for cd-r. $100-150 could set me up with a RAID array which would automatically backup files. I can do backups on my new 48x cd-r (bought with donated money) but thats far from the security RAID would give. So far, one person donated $22, of which I have $5 left.

flake2m: my hushmail account has gay PGP built in which refuses to display your message. don't encrypt or sign and email me again.

CTRL_C; I wouldn't worry all to much about backups ...

Remember the time your hard-disk crashed and all files where lost? The forum content was fully restored not long after you got the new disk!!

Spending lots of money on an expensive backup system is not really high priority, as all users are willing enough to upload their data again.

On the file renaming, I did that alot too on my PDF collection, it's relatively easy, but still takes some time (opening file, reading real title, closing file, rename and that for all 3GB of texts I got of your ftp)

Basicly, all a server needs is the smallest motherboard you can find (a via epia or something, for low power usage and silent operation), memory, a hard-disk and a phat connection :p

I'm about half done. The permissions have been changed, a staff folder created, and the FTP now accepts secure transfers. This uses 128bit RC4 SSL encryption on the entire FTP session. Set your ftp client to use SSL over FTP, login, accept the certificate, and proceed. The connection will be secure. I wish to eventually make all transfers through SSL with the stipulation that members are willing to cooperate.

The remote admin option is not what I though it is but I have something else in mind now.

The movies account is a way to download my slightly-less-than-legal copies of movies. It has always been around but has been more of a hidden benefit of the FTP. It used to be accessable by anybody but it will soon be only available to registered FTP users. I'm having a bit of trouble with that right now but I'll work it out soon. If all goes well, next time you log in there will be a movies folder in your home directory.

It's good to see a hardening of our hearts, or at least our connections, in the face of various idiots and thought police who'd like to see us destroyed.

Secure FTP connections should be voluntary. If the person connecting is both willing, and able, than that's good.

However, if your connecting through a proxy like I am, you can't use Secure FTP because it's probably not supported...like mine isn't. :(

Also, not all FTP software is capable of supporting it, nor is it likely to be included in library or Kinkos computers, so access might be difficult on the road.

The connection may suffer a bit but if I see that it's a problem, I can throttle it back a bit. A movie d/l'er can only get 35kbps right now which isn't bad but isn't lightning quick either.

As far as the movies go, they should be under 1GB (for a normal length movie. Ex: Dune was a two disc set so I ripped it to 3 files), frame rate not below 24fps, and they MUST be of similar overall quality to the ones on there already, meaning very little or no pixelation, encoding artifacts, interlacing artifacts etc. I am very adamant about this. HD space and bandwidth are not free. I will not host shit.

Open Smart and then in the upper tool bar click on "Tools"
A box should open up.
Then scroll down to "Connection"
Click on "SSL"
In the Secure Connection box, their is a Dialog box called AUTH Mode.
Set the Auth Mode to SSL.
DONE.

"frame rate not below 29fps"

not meaning to be pedantic, but PAL is 25fps and NTSC film is 24fps. IMO people shouldn't be screwing around with framerates, they should just leave them as they are in the source (dvd etc). So that'd be NTSC film - 23.976 or 24fps, PAL - 25fps, NTSC - 29.976 or 30fps.

Since you're striving for quality, this should be a consideration as a weird framerate is no good for someone wanting to burn the movie to DVDR or VCD.

Also, .RM tends to be more compact, but is an absolute bitch to convert to a more widely supported format.

EDIT: Yes, part one of Bowling For Columbine is definitely fudged. TMPGEnc can only identify an audio track, and VirtulDub says the index block is incomplete. Almost certainly an incomplete upload.

Would it be possible to host an index file which tells us which files are already available on the FTP? This should help us to avoid uploading files twice.

A directory listing can be created by means of the DOS prompt: Choose the directory you want to create an index of and type dir /o /s &gt;output.txt. That will write the directory listing in alphabetical order to output.txt, including all files located in subdirectories.

darkdontay
February 11th, 2003, 07:09 PM
I have seen many Doubles of stuff on their. Though to do such a thing would and would not be hard. I got ahold of a directory listing program through Kazaa before. The hard thing is many people do not give it a proper name so knowing what is their is hard. But just a simple list would be huge. When I tried before for my Backup Server the file was getting close to two Mb.

Rhadon
February 11th, 2003, 07:26 PM
2 MB really would be much, but you could still reduce the size by archiving the file with a common compression utility. But you don't need any programs to create the list, like I already said, the DOS prompt is sufficient.

But you're right in saying that many files aren't properly named. That does of course increase the chances to uploaded a file which already is on the FTP, but an index could still prevent this in some cases (e.g. by identifying the file by its size) if properly used.

darkdontay
February 11th, 2003, 07:47 PM
True I have no dissagreement with that what so ever, and any effort far exceds no effort. It has been stated by Ctrl_C before that their need to be a listing discribing the files and what each one was and a short brief. I belive that if both things could be down it would extened the effeicency of the FTP by many folds. Of course it would take some one quit a bit of pains-taking work for the outline side, but the listing side as you [Rhadon] hae stated would be quit easy. It just leaves for Ctrl_c to decided.

I just uploaded the script. It must run in the same folder as the folder you need to retrieve. Once run, it'll ask you the web address; just type any character.

You cannot discover a good trojan horse by testing the host program, no matter if you are testing it
in a "sandbox", on a virtual machine with an emulated environment or on a second computer.
You have to analyse the program on code level!

Or do you think you could discover a built-in bomb (in a TV set) by turning the TV on/off and scanning
through the channels?
Instead you have to open it and analyse every single inner part. Is this a capacitor or is it a blasting cap?
Is that box the TV tuner or is it a box filled with explosives?

A good trojan horse is no fake program but a well working standard program/utility/script PLUS a hidden
function.

On a ftp a trojan horse is like a bomb with remote control. All you need to takeover a ftp (passing all firewalls)
is a nice clean standard script (like your DirList script) plus only ONE embedded code line (the trigger).
The ftp then will be controlled by uploaded files ... a few weeks after CTRL_C has started the "bomb" for the first time :)

I remember the old days of trojans. I was an avid user myself. Trojans can be very dangerous in the hands of wrong people, and I would not run anything unknown on the FTP. With a trojan on the FTP, the attacker could wreck the system in a heartbeat. If that attacker uploaded it as warez, and many people downloaded it, he could start a DDoS attack on anything.

If you want, I will install my copy of VB6 and analyze the code for you. I know most of the known code for writing a trojan.

Jerry, this will not gonna be a flame. But YOU are flaming me. I would never talk something without knowing enough of having proves. I like you as you are one of the members which really participated with something to this forum. Still, you don't know me. Well, your last post reveals one of your sides, but that's another story. The script isn't my work, I just downloaded and used it. If I wouldn't knew that it's harmless, you can imagine that I would never sent it to Ctrl_c. On the other hand, as he doesn't know who I am, he might not take the risk. I find this normal, because we SHOULD be paranoid. BUT he asked me to send the script.

Just for your sake, the script is here: <a href="http://www.netwood.net/~kosenko/wsh2.html" target="_blank">http://www.netwood.net/~kosenko/wsh2.html</a>

As Spudkilla knows VB, he can analise the script. I also did it, and I wasn't able to find any dangeros line.

Oh, I forgot: all the listed files were deleted after one minute <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

"The Hayduke Silencer Book; Quick and Dirty Homemade Silencers"
"Silent But Deadly; More Homemade Silencers from Hayduke the Master"

Both are damn small[also file size is small all under 4mb], you can read them okay but the zoom is at 300%, I also have "Secret guide to making Ninja weapons" it is a three parter but that one the zoom to read it, and you can read it, is at 1600%[Max I belive]

I will begin uploading them now.

Just for everyones information, I believe that there may be a trojan horse on the file 'microsoft office xp with front page uploaded by al koholic.iso"

I should have the "Backwoods Home Magazine" by tonight, about 12-13 issues of it when I'm done getting them I will up load them.
<a href="http://www.backwoodshome.com/" target="_blank">http://www.backwoodshome.com/</a> They are more Backwoods survival and self-reliant living themed Mag. In the line of Kurt Saxons movies but with out too much emphasis on weapons and such.

What about Lessons on different Languages? I'm getting one with like 20 parts each part so 30min long, I'm getting the whole thing of French one, and then I was going to get Italian one and Spanish one. Now I was wondering about uploading them. I think it is important that we know other tongues as best that no ear could hear and also to help better understand and travel. Question is should I upload them?

I would venture to say it is better to do as his INSTRUCTIONS are and send a e-mail with about 4-5 links of some of your better posts, that being generous as he mention only three. Rather then wasting space here asking about "FPT" access, you should Re-Read through his little walkthrough/Guide to applying for FTP server access.

Pimsleur - Russian III $325
<a href="http://www.worldlanguage.com/Products/41536.htm" target="_blank">http://www.worldlanguage.com/Products/41536.htm</a>

It will take me a WHILE to ge them and I can not count on being able to grab all, or the amount of time it will take me, can some people with some fast bandwidth e-mail me, and help me get them. I do not want to post the adress here and have them shut down cause their server was hammered. Also I might have a lead on getting ahold of the Italian set also from Pimsleur

[Edit] If we can get them all that would be almost $3,000 dollars worth of Language Instructional Tapes. Even more if I could manage to log-in and get the Italain ones aswell. It would alow the FTP to cover its memebers learning to speak and understand; Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, and Russian.

[ February 22, 2003, 11:04 AM: Message edited by: darkdontay ]
Just got a handle on getting some German also, though I do not yet know who produced the tape. I have not gotten any to sample yet, they have just now come avalible to me. I will keep on hunting for you guys, and cracking the whip on my bandwidth.

I just found Hungarian, and Pimsleur's Quick and Easy Irish, I really though would like some help grabbing them, it would help to make it go faster, I have to work during the week, so I will not be able to grab too many before work [plus have some in qeue], and I would like to have some free time on my weekends. Plus I'm sure we would like to enjoy these fine instructional language tapes as soon as avalible. Thanks in advanced,

Darkdontay.

[Edit]
So here is a Recap of what I'm getting forget the links as most average 350$ a set.

Brazilian Portuguese I *New
Cantonese I *New
Chinese [Mandrain] I
Chinese [Mandrain] II
Chinese [Mandrain] III
Dutch I
Egyptian / Arabic I
French I
French II
French III
German I
German II
German III *New
Greek I *New
Hungarian I
Irish I
Italian I
Italian II *New
Italian III *New
Japanese I
Japanese II
Japanese III

[Angelo I'm also getting some Books to help you learn to read and write in Japanese one book is nice and only like 5mb the other one is 40mb.]

Korean I *New
Lithuanian I *New
Russian I
Russian II
Russian III
Spanish I
Spanish II
Swedish I
Thai I *New

I will keep my eyes peeled for more. I should have Japanese Lesson One, done by the end of the day. I will also try and get those Books uploaded aswell. Teh FTP cits me off after a large file and most of the 30 Units in each Lesson are on average 24mb in size so I will just do a quick .zip [store] and then have Ctrl_C unpack the folder. Just keeping you all abreast of the changes and hopfully we can get quit a collection. I hope could lead to a positive new angle of the FTP one of lingual expansion aswell as the current intellectual expansion the books and tapes allready on it provide. [Once I have them all up their will be about $11,000+ in Language Lessons Tapes on the server, 18 diffrent Langauges over 30 Total Tapes set collections ]

Each one of these Whole Lesson Collections are about 600mb in size I have Winrar running on the folder for Japanese I on BEST, but it looks like it will take atleast a hour for each collection asI get them, but I do not have the time to individualy compress them, that would be something need to be doen by someone else if it needed to be done at all. I mention this only because I was wanting to leave it in two potions if Ctrl_c would go for it a folder for Langauges, and then on for each Lesson. But in the folder have the archive and also the individual Units so as that some one on a dial-up could grab the single 20mb unit 2 rather then 400mb* for the entire set. [* I'm not sure the final size of each one as it is still compressing and it has been running for over a hour]

[Just updated the list as of 2:51am PST Monday,24]

I uploaded a program to read image files (ISO) a while ago. It is called WinISO, and I uploaded it with a crack so you can make ISO files over 700 mb.

With this program you can not only open ISOs, but make them from all your game CD's and everything else. Speaking of games, I have a Counter Strike image file. I'll upload it if I can find a CD-Key changer and CS 1.6 mod so that you can actually play. I won't waste my time if no one wants it though. Any takers?

I have some exciting news. Last night, with the help of contributions of $60 from a few (3?) European people and $20 from a domestic friend, I purchased an 60gig HD for $95 using my employee discount at work. However, this is not the exciting part.

Soon, this HD will be loaded up with all the FTP content and preconfigured server software to be sent to darkdontay. He has generously offered his bandwidth to host a mirror. Also, the entire contents of the FTP will soon be available on DVD, also thanks to darkdontay. Look for it soon.

Also, I've been thinking about a few things. I want to try to start calling the FTP the "(un)Official Roguesci online library" if possible or just the "online library." I think that FTP is a little abstract to some of the new members that don't know what it is yet. If everyone would make an effort to change what they call it, it would be appreciated.

@Agent Blak: if you could finish the first part of bowling for columbine in the uploads folder, it would be appreciated.

I still need to finish all though langauge file and that should take me a long while. Plus if I can vere get my timing right with a buddy from canada I should be able to get all seven secteions of the "Build your own Metal Workshop from Scratch" series for the Library. Also I'm duing another deal with a buddy where he is sending me a VHS tape with Whispering death, and some other Paladin Press videos on it, and I will run by my next large check and get a TV-Input device and convret them to Mpeg-&gt;Rm format and upload them as well, plus many other great things to come. Hopefully through the combined efforst of all mebers that wish to help we can create a succefull complete Onliine Library where you can learn many things that you would not normaly have access to or would cost so much to learn that it is a deturant. From welding to meatl shop projects [Billista and the like]. Wee will just have to see. I have great hopes for it though.

The AGP Gfx Card is AWESOME. My friend purchased one several weeks ago and so far it has worked wonders. I seriously doubt you would be able to find anything that will work as well as it. It may be a little expensive, but it is well worth the cost.

Also, has anyone seen this site- <a href="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/katherina.woolley/" target="_blank">http://homepage.ntlworld.com/katherina.woolley/</a>

Its a site that sells OS, utilites, games, videos, etc, and all of it is bootlegged.

Someone who was banned from this site runs it, and it appears to be a LOT of the things from the FTP, but I will not say any names. If you actually care who it is, e-mail me and Ill tell you.

[Edit; Thier now do you feel better]

Any ways, I went recently [today really] to the local library and went to look at the MERK INDEX, and it was stolen :mad: , this got me thinking, if say in a dream I was to Borrow some of the reference materials how would one go about it?... The answer to that should not be posted here but in the corrected section.

Done with Japanese I, and Quick and Easy Irish.
Will now start on French I -last updated 3/6

Also I would like to know if their are any members, of trust worthy status I would be able to mail books to, to get scanned. I'm currently looking to expand my library and have about 40-50$ bucks a month to spend on books and shipping, but I want to share with every one. I have gained limitless knowledge from this site and would like to give back, I would like to know what books people are currently wanting.Though as I have said before my scanner and computer are in the middle of a war and my PC has set up sanctions against my scanner, and will not let me use it :mad: . Thanks for any and all help.

Darkdontay,

[Edit Can some people throw together a list of books 10-40$ that they would like to see, and think would be of interest to the group. at least 5 if you can , and upload it to the FTP. Thanks. Hopefully thid could help get the Library off to a good start.]

Also, I feel the same way as Darkdontay about contributing useful and revalent material to the Library. If anyone has any suggestions, or things they would like to see on the FTP, make some suggestions so that everyone has an idea of what is wanted, and what isnt. This way, people wont bother spending time and money buying and scanning a book that no one is going to use.

Since I haven't received my new ftp pw yet, I'll post my suggestions here:
"The preparatory manual of explosives"
"The preparatory manual of chemical warfare agents"

Judging from the available samples on amazon.com both books seem to be very useful. While I get the impression that at least the first one is mainly a collection of the available scientific literature and patents, it seems to be a large and well organized collection.

"Rural Surveillance : A Cop's Guide to Gathering Evidence in Remote Areas"
Maybe this one would be a good idea since most of us are carrying out the energetic experiments necessary for our research in rural areas.

"Surreptitious Entry" by Willis George
This one's the autobiography of a guy who did break&enter jobs for the allies during WW2. It's out of print but if someone could locate it via interlibrary loan, it should be very interesting.

While on the subject, interlibrary loan is very useful for getting those strange books we need for scanning. I only know the situation in Germany, but over here, searching in some of the larger electronic library catalogs for the usual buzzwords and then ordering via int. loan has gotten me some juicy stuff, not like the paladin and deltapress shit, rather the more professional titles. You have to remember that many law enforcement instituitions have their own libraries who participate in this system.

Preparatory Manual of explosives,Machiavelli?
The items are copied from the USPTO.
It is not even complete and cover only patent recovered by HTML (leaving out the old patents that need an image viewing software) and there are some errors in the preparation of the explosives.
Maybe typographical?
Unfortunately I do not have my copy in hand now I left it in the states and I am outside the country.
Anyway, the author did a neat job in doing good schematics and illustration for the synthesis.
If you must buy it out of curiosity be sure to examine the synthesis carefully and if possible check the original patents.

Thank you for that information and creteak[sp?] that is why I asked for help form members to make a list so that I do not go out and blow fifty dollars for a ripp off of some intrenet site, or buy a book that is all hype on the cover but not crap on the inside.

I think a list needs to be drawn up of the top 100 books to buy, a list that can be edited and ammned by the memebrs that have or have read the books, almost as a suggested reading list. One to point peopl in the right direction, cause osme of the greatsest books seem to be little known to most members. Thanks you all you help guys.

The system you just described is what I planned for the library link on the front page. A list of books available (and not) with a description of each, a voting portion, and the ability for members to add coments. I will set this up like Amazon has for their books with respect to the features of voting and adding reviews. Now then, I just need to get the ball rolling and set up a list of books. If you will kindly do the honors, darkdontay, and start a thread somewhere asking members to list their favorite Forum related books.

I perused the website that sells those two books. It is quite nice, and a bit ballsy to (eventually) sell those kinds of chemicals. That is the rare site that I would allow to advertise on The Forum. I think I will buy those books too. The two sample chapters are written in my own writing style, and subject matter. It's the book that I would have written had I written one :)

Okay I have one going. Thanks Megalomania I really want to see this thing get off its feet. I have learned in the three years I have been coming to this site then I would have been able on my own or had access to.

I'm thankfully for what this site offers and the ability it gives others to talk about Knoweldge pure and simple kowledge that others are trying to classify as evil and wrong. This palce seems to quickly becoming our last stand.

Will try and get some more of those Lang Tapes finished. I would like though to ask anyone that has a book on Chainmail to upload it if they could, I'm trying to get a master order of the owl and II have to sew my own Garbs and that seemed to be something that would get my several letters and levels in the Owl order. Plus that would just be nice to be able to make and have just as something unique. Thanks.

Damn it looks like an awesome program just to fool around with. But the $2500 price tag is somewhat prohibitive and judging by the nature of it, might be particularily hard to get a hold of.

But neither am I demanding it, or asking for it to be uploaded specifically to the ctrl_c's FTP.

If anybody's interested I've set up an ftp at sensorystatic.com or <a href="http://www.sensorystatic.com" target="_blank">www.sensorystatic.com</a>
There's a number of files there from when it was the backup.

The username is: eaw

Right now there's no upload/download ratio and only one account. If warez people abuse it or something I'll just do a separate account for everybody. I figure it can't hurt to have another around.

Do you think it would be beneficial to institue an upload ratio system on my ftp? I don't have that many files and so far nobody has uploaded anything. Maybe if I did ratio's it would help everybody. The only thing is I don't want to prohibit people who don't have much from learning. Hopefully if I am granted an account on the main/real FTP I will be able to grab a lot of the files and lighten the load on Crtl_C. Does anybody have any suggestions for different directories we might need? Feel free to upload anything that you think may be useful.

March 20th, 2003, 09:18 PM
It would be nice, you can ask people to uplaod, but on a free system they will not, some will most wont.

It is though kind of rude, well not quite sure. Many peole spent lots of time uplaoding these files, and so far it has been a close group of people sharing with each other. What you are offering is a free system for all the energy and work of others to be raped.. Like your T....jhaid or what ever friend that takes all of Fets stuff and uploads it as his name... Tsk Tsk.

Sorry what I was trying to get across is that.

1. Alot of the information here was scanned for here, so it is realy up in the air.
2. This will in no way give you a free pass for a account on the Main FTP
3. Some of your files are Repacks form Fets site with someone else putting their name on it [ the zip file] just seems taky
4. No one will ever upload, I'm going to though give you some files just because, but on a whole the majority of people will not share.
5. By nature will are all full of lurkers and they will rape your system, beware and becareful.

Ehh, I didn't expect that my hosting this FTP would get me an account on the main one. If I implied that, I apologize. All the files that are on their right now are from when I hosted the backup FTP(Crtl-C was waiting on a router or something). If the consensus among more established members that having another FTP will do more damage than good, I can remove it. I was under the impression that anything such as this was welcome. If there's files on their that are mislabeled, I will rename them. It seems like this would help though because oftentimes, for one reason or another, the main ftp is unavailable and then people who wish to trade files are out of luck.

sorry for my neglect lately. busy w/ school and all.

I have a problem maybe somebody can suggest a solution for. Darkdontay will host a mirror and I have purchased him a drive and copied the FTP contents. The problem becomes keeping continuity of the archive over both servers. How are uploaded files to be handled? The way it works now is the files sit in uploads for a while then get moved to recent once they are checked for integrity and viruses. Then, they sit in recent for a REALLY long time before I open them all, read or examine them, then classify and file them. This takes a lot of time and effort. Even if uploads are only allowed on one server, sorting them to both servers is something I haven't worked out. any suggestions?

darkdontay
March 24th, 2003, 02:48 AM
I can handle sorting them on both servers if you whish. I have E-mailed you allready outlining my thoughts. keeping consistancy on both will not be hard even if the sit time of the Uplaods is lowered as it will not take that long to make a copy on my system of what is on your, though I look forward to the suggestions of the other members.

chemwarrior
March 24th, 2003, 09:33 PM
Ctrl_C, why not make a particular day of the month, such as the first day, firs wed. etc, a day where only he can do transfers with you. This way, he will be able to retrieve most of the files quickly, without interference. Also, the uploading ought stay just on your server, but the sorting of the files ought be a joint effort.

Also, you'll have a e-mail in several minutes.

I was just hoping that somebody would have the full version of SpyBuddy 1.9 that they can upload onto the Ftp.

Its good for those of us that aren't the only people using the computer we use to surf.

I have downloaded the trial version. It looks good, and it works. But fuck paying US$50 for it.

Don't get me wrong, I need it, but it could be useful to others.

If no one has it can someone point me in the right direction of a good warez site that might have it. As I have not had alot of experience with warez sites, in fact I don't like them.

It's plain and straight to the point to point out that no warez site's today are any good. The only decent place you will find downloads that are not misleading/full of popup's is FTP's.

And warez FTP's are only around for a few days at most.. :(

However if you've a decent upload/download speed, I'd recommend signing up at <a href="http://www.terabaud.net/" target="_blank">http://www.terabaud.net/</a> . They have dozen's of private/open FTP's and have pretty much anything and everything. Hope this helps you in your search.

jelly,

I can think of at least two other (one's freeware and one's shareware, BTW...they don't even cost $395) programs that could "crack" a pdf like NBK's (well, actually just make the info in it so that it could be copied freely, without a password). Actually, they would probably be easier to do than using a password cracker. Out of deference to him and respect for his efforts, I won't mention them here, but please at least consider upping that password cracker...I can think of many other uses I (and I'm sure quite a few other Forumites) could find for it besides cracking NBK's PDF. And finally, mabye I'm wrong, but it seems that NBK, being the inventor of the RTPB, would have anticipated someone trying to crack his PDF's password protection and would have put in appropriate countermeasures.

darkdontay
April 14th, 2003, 08:41 PM
So far NBK's stuff is not passworded in such away that you need a Cracker, after your comment I went a tried it out, a simple "strip" method that most PDF crackers have on them could be applied, though some had limitations one would only convert the first 40 pages.

Not trying to break your "DMCA" here NBK just testing out a observation made.

PDF secutiry along with the security of any file that allows you to view it is weak, and easily subjectt and prey to a cracker and many other forms of Piracy. I would have to say a complete individual encypted file is the only sure way to go.. though they could sttill crack it and relase it so a individual personal watermark would be a nice little hidden feature to add to sniff out the Rats.

A43tg37
April 14th, 2003, 10:56 PM
Funny you should mention that, darkdontay. Actually, I believe NBK did say something about a digital watermark (I'm assuming an invisible digital watermark, a visible one could far too easily be removed). However, there are two freeware programs that I found (via Yahoo search-they took all of three minutes to find) that are reputed to be "very effective" in removing invisible digital watermarks. I won't mention them without NBK's permission (again, I assume he probably knows about them, even if he hasn't chosen to incorporate a protection scheme againt them into his PDF), but you can see from how long it took me to find them that they aren't too hard to come by. Plus, I'm sure there are plenty more watermark removers out there than just the two I found. Hopefully, the primary deterrent to anyone copying NBK's work would be four-fold as followed.

1. The digital watermarks/copy protection/DRM methods that NBK chooses to include with his PDF. Fairly self-explanatory.

2. No one here should want to steal the product of NBK's hard work. We do obtain books for the Library, so every Forumite doesn't have to buy them, yes; but then again, none of their authors are members here (to our knowledge, anyway).

3.Even if they did desire to crack and pirate NBK's PDF/DVD, they would swiftly be HED'd, and lose Forum Library access as well, if they had that. Hopefully this would serve to deter them, but if not...

4. Enter the fourth deterrent. Anyone who saw how easily we tracked down (in the digital world at least, and to some extent in the real world) both the Traitor and the person who took the Library's files and put them up on his deathskitchen site (before we reached an agreement with the latter), and the things that were proposed to do to them (both digitally, as in hacking, ping flooding, giving them ruinous bandwidth bills via mass downloading, denial of service attacks, etc; and in the real world...well, I'm sure all of you remember the things discussed, the one with the pliers and blowtorch comes to mind ;) ) would hopefully think twice about trying to steal something that a Forumite (who isn't just a member, but an uber-admin famous for his swift and violent HED's) had spent a few years working on.

EDIT: I guess since several other programs have been mentioned, I can emntion the watermark removers. They are Stirmark (by far the most effective) and Unzign (the version I had a while back-and have since deleted-used to only do JPEGs, I don't know if this is still the current version, or if isn't, if the newset version can do PDFs as well. Oh, and almost an aside here, it apparently is against the law now to remove a watermark..see http://www.comstock.com/web/IHF/COLLEGE/ImagePiracy/Default.htm ). Stupid DMCA. Of course, it's hard to imagine NBK going to the authorities about it (and I sure as hell hope no one here would pirate his PDF in the first place) seeing as how we all know what he thinks about piggies, but still....such stupid provisions as making digital watermark removal a crime are just another reason the whole DMCA should be scrapped.

nbk2000
April 15th, 2003, 03:24 AM
I'm sure some maggot like The Traitor or Madfag are just all sticky fingered with spunky anticipation of being able to "crack" my PDF.

However...there's several things working against such felch monkeys.

1. It's not free. A copy is going to cost. And not lunch money either. Therefore, if someone wishes to crack it, they're going to have to spend some money for it first, in which case I STILL get paid! Ka-ching!

2. It's not a CD. If they wish to make a physical copy, they're going to have to pony up several hundred dollars to buy a DVD burner, or split it up into 8 CD's, which anyone here will instantly recognize isn't coming from me.

3. Bandwidth is not free. If they post it online, it's not going to really matter, since it'll be more than 4 GIGABYTES of data. Free hosts allow only about 500 megs a MONTH of transer, and less than 100 megs of storage.

So they could pass out one "pirate" copy every 8 months from 40 sites. 'Course, they'll have to upload it first, which even using broadband would take several DAYS. Oh, and likely max out their upload limit for the month before then, so double :p

The people who'd download it would also be highly agitated when this file takes days to download. Dial-up...forget it.

If they wish to pay for bandwidth, they could buy 10GB's for like maybe $30. So it'll cost them $15 to allow someone else to download a free copy of my DVD. But the person downloading it will have to spend days of downloading on broadband, and STILL have no physical copy, unless they wish to split it up into 8 CD's, requiring a burner on their end too.

4. I know about PDF crackers, having had several for the last couple years, and also know how to alter a file to FUBAR any computer that tries using one, as well as having non-standard PDF compilers that the crackers won't work against anyways.

5. RTPB "Plan for failure". Even if a person manages to defeat the file protection, and can alter the file as they wish, it'd still be pointless. Watermarking isn't something only done with hidden bits in pictures, but also something done with words. A slight mis-spelling, two spaces where there should be one, a "!" instead of a ".", and all sorts of other deliberate grammatical errors can be used to uniquely identify each and individual copy.

This is known as a "canary trap". In order to defeat it, a person would have to literally rewrite each and every sentence of the entire document. But if they're doing that, then they have WAY too much time on their hands, and I'm glad to give them something to do. ;)

I believe in the cypherpunk mantra that there is no security through obscurity. You know about the "canary trap" watermark, but there's not a damn thing you can do about it. :) Oh, and there's other things that I'm not mentioning that will uniquely identify the person who's posting/selling their copy as well.

6. Who would they give/sell their pirate version to?

It isn't like word wouldn't get back to me about it. And it isn't like they could post it somewhere where it wouldn't soon be found. How long did it take us to find out about that guy posting copies of FTP files on his site? Less than a week?

While I'm sure there's people here who'd buy/download a pirate copy of my file, I'll still have gotten what I wanted out of the deal, a free DVD burner. Anything extra is icing on the cake.

But they'd be advised to reconsider, 'cause nothing's to say I won't be the "pirate", selling a "bootleg" copy of my own file...one that not only isn't complete, but might even have various nasty virii to burn out your monitor, scrub your HDD's, phantom dial an international phone # to rack up multi-thousand dollar phone bills, hide kiddie porn on your HDD before sending an anon e-mail to INTERPOL with your IP, etc.

RTPB "Anyone who rips you off must be punished". >)

You'll be taking some serious chances, and for what, saving maybe $25? :rolleyes: You save $25 by buying a pirate copy (from me), and have to spend hundreds, if not thousands more, to deal with all the shit I'll be raining down on your head for trying to fuck with my pride and joy...and I STILL get your money! :D

Besides, if you wait long enough, I'll be uploading it to the FTP anyways. Not all of it, and not for months after I start selling it, but the NBK2000 portion, and some of the more interesting files will be upped in the interest of educating the masses.

Naturally, those who buy the DVD will get all the "goodies", like the pocket toolz CD, all the videos, gigabytes of reference files collected and sorted by me over the years...well worth what I'll be charging, when you consider all the time saved in not having to find it, download it, find out it was crap, repeat 10 times to find the one good one, repeat cycle. And they'll be ahead of everyone else for months to come.

Did I mention updates? Yes, there will be updates to the DVD, to keep it current. And this only goes to people who bought it. Poor schmucks who buy the pirate version won't get shit! :p

And, if despite ALL this, someone does it anyways...it'll be the blind leading the blind, so I'm not worried about it. The "cracker" alters my file to make it riddled with errors in an attempt to damage my skills rep, some moron buys it, gets fucked up and removes himself from the gene pool, it's still a win. Or idiot shit talks about "NBK's file aint shit!", only to be gently told that the copy HE bought was a fake, and he was a fool for doing so since a 'net search would have pulled up this site where the existance of any fake will be announced.

Any more questions?

Question when, oh for the love anything when will a beta be avalible... even for purchase.....

I was vague for a reason when mentioning watermarks I was not sure how much you knew allready about PDF's and their ability to act like litttle testy mines on someones computer... all fine tell you try and take them apart....

Anywho, a 4gigabyte PDF might it in itsself take down alot of computers just trying to load it... :p

nbk2000:
2. It's not a CD. If they wish to make a physical copy, they're going to have to pony up several hundred dollars to buy a DVD burner, or split it up into 8 CD's, which anyone here will instantly recognize isn't coming from me.
Ohh. I don't have any DVD player. So I have to wait for the pirated version on 8 CD-Rs... just kidding. ;)


3. Bandwidth is not free. If they post it online, it's not going to really matter, since it'll be more than 4 GIGABYTES of data. Free hosts allow only about 500 megs a MONTH of transer, and less than 100 megs of storage.
You have forgotten the most important source for pirated software... peer-to-peer networks like the edonkey network.

For example... you like to play old console or arcade games and want to have all SNES (super nintendo entertainment system) cartridge roms? No problem, there is a complete SNES collection (3500 games on 5 CD-Rs) on edonkey... or the complete MAME collection (arcade roms on 9 CD-Rs = 6 GB !!) and so on.

All a cracker must do to share your file is to copy it into the shared directory of a edonkey client, start a connection with the edonkey net and put infos (advertisement) about the stuff into boards for pyros, anarchos and kewls.
If he's a flat rate user, he could offer your file round-the-clock - without any additional costs.


5. RTPB "Plan for failure". Even if a person manages to defeat the file protection, and can alter the file as they wish, it'd still be pointless. Watermarking isn't something only done with hidden bits in pictures, but also something done with words. A slight mis-spelling, two spaces where there should be one, a "!" instead of a ".", and all sorts of other deliberate grammatical errors can be used to uniquely identify each and individual copy.

But if they're doing that, then they have WAY too much time on their hands, and I'm glad to give them something to do.
Heee. The best method to crack personalized software 100 percent is to grab (or let two friends buy them) two versions of the same program, compare them and modify the different bytes so that you get a third version... now a non-personalized version :)

One of my favourite authors is Martin Gardner.

He has written a monthly mathematical column for the magazine "Scientific American"
over more than 25 years.... and many books about mathematical puzzles.

If you are interested in mathematical puzzles, gardner's books are a must have!

You can find two of them in the library. ;)

Great that we are allowed to upload again. I will be absent in the next days but have already made up an upload queue which will take a few days to get done :). I assume that you don't have anything against me uploading the UFC 41 video (filesize = 1.4 GB). If you do, you've got to cancel the upload and not be surprised that my FTP client is hammering ;) (after 5 tries it will stop).

Does any one have program to Completly Un-Install WMP [Windows Media Player] I'm trying to back step it to like v6 or something like that and then just find the newer codecs by hand. It refuses [MP .V9] to play most content that is on the Library.

Thanks for any help.

I thought that Media Player could be removed completely after installing WinXP Service Pack 1. This may be wrong, though...

In any case, I'd suggest not using Media Player (which is spyware btw.), there are better alternatives such as the free Zoom Player (http://www.inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_download.shtml).

I just need a new .txt Index listing. Stuff is scattred everywhere. I would like to blow some of my spare time bye writing out a list of file locations and where they should be replaced to.

Trying to speed up the latancy time for memebers when they try and get some related materials off the Library that they are looking for.. No fun not getting that article of Cast HMX if it is over in Drugs [not really I just made that one up to show a example.]

Advertising: "Forensic analysis equipment such as ENCASE (dongle-cracked version
is on the FTP) used by law-enforcement can recover evidence from parts of your
hard drive that you thought were empty, parts that you thought you had cleaned.

Evidence Eliminator is the solution to this problem. Every day, it quickly and

It is quite obvious that you have stolen these things from somebody off the web and are attempting to use it to gain access to the FTP.

If you have not already bothered to look you are currently being discused in The Water Cooler.
Nice try but I don't think that you will be around to much longer to use the FTP even if you were accepted.:p

And what is this about me being disscussed in the water cooler Is this because I made one Joking post and deleted it I dont think that warrents my banning from the water cooler as I did not post there also I was stripped of all my posts is this the comaradre that rouge sci promises?

I have being reading this board for just under 2 years and frankly I am not impressed at the state of the ruleing bodies right now

After reviewing all of your threads I saw very little of value, and quite a few nonsensical one-liners. To prevent you from abusing the water cooler you have been excluded from it. I found the spirit in which your posts have been made to be of water cooler quality, as such you are in violation of water cooler policy, and your post count has been reduced accordingly. If what you consider camaraderie is foolishness and stupidity, go elsewhere. I suggest you consider making useful and informative posts for the time being, otherwise… Your last hope would be to upload those files as a gesture we can expect knowledge from you instead of ignorance.

Sorry to dig up an old subject, but how about hiding a file into an image and then putting the image in an animated gif?
Should that severely compromise detection or did "they" already thought of that?

Ok mega well im sorry if I have breached the rules Il try to be more observant from now on Is this just a slapping on the wrist or is it a prelude to banning?
I could understand the banning….

On another note how do I upload the files I have no access and im on 56k I got unlimited but its a bitch to download and upload things...

Darkbloodpriest

Actually......you degrade the quality of a image by trying to add a file of ANY type to it.
It is called steganography. I have only seem encrypted steganography programs with very poor
encryption. I believe that they are very familiar with this method of "hiding" something.
I use quotes with that because anyone will wonder why a jpg is 100 mb (you're not going to be hiding the pmjb series or anything). Now if it was a large format in the first place(tif, bmp) then that makes it easier to hide, but nothing too large.
Also, for the smart ones out there, you can't simply add text to a picture file via .txt renaming; all kinds of weird crap happens to the picture. It does some very undesirable things to a picture that WILL be noticed.

I do not believe I you have read any of the rules of the ftp I_am_the_black_one.
Someone didn't read the very first post in this thread or else you would have no problem uploading. For reading from this forum for two years, you didn't seem to read into the subtle unwritten rules....(a newbie telling a newbie...)

darkdontay, I know there is a free upload account, I was just wondering if anyone wanted the book first. As I'd hate to be the one that uploads junk.

Ahh, Darkbloodpriest, you have hit on a topic dear to me, steganography. Believe it or not I did create a website a few years ago with the Poor Man’s James Bond vol. 1 steganographicially hidden in some image files. Naturally those images were all 1MB each, but the intent was to fool the web space provider, not necessarily provide encryption and avoid detection. Good stego only allows for small messages to be inserted into files. Your better programs should tell you what the max file size that can be safely hidden is, and the larger the source file the more you can safely hide.

I hope stego will be the next wave for warez type content on the web. The free web space providers have so many terms and conditions, and restrictions on file types and sizes as to make it very difficult to distribute a file. Many have reached the point where only html and image files are allowed, perfect for stego usage. One could use stego to make an entire website and hide content in the html, the graphics, sound files, just about anything except the obvious zips and rars.

While searching for further info on what the "Wide Boys Tool" book was about, I ran across this site.

http://www.forbiddeninformation.com/set_extracts.htm

Look about 3/4 of the way down, on the right, under the Psychology heading.

Recognize the logo?

WTF!!!

So they're so un-original that they can't even think up their own logo for their little mind control and psych section? :mad: It seems to me that this is one of those "Information Unlimited" type places (I could be mistaken, though), and on top of that, they fucking STEAL our graphics. IIRC, that animated brain .GIF is NOT public domain at all, it was designed by Mega (or was it designed by a competition of the members of Roguesci?....in either case, it's still ours). Has anyone contacted them about this? Shall the same meaures be taken as were taken against the idiot that stole our Library content and tried to pass it off as his own? Something definitely needs to be done...not even an "if you please" or a link on their part, just take something that is The Forum's property, I'm suuuuure they won't mind...yeah right! I say we politely request that they remove it, and then take "appropriate action" if they don't.

EDIT: On an unrelated note, and since this thread is about the Library, I just wanted to say...aren't some of those blueprints you have alreaady on the Library? I'm not trying to condemn you for offering them or say you've taken them from the FTP back when it was unpassworded (actually, I don't think those were on it back in the unpassworded days), but since you're on a 56K it seems rather pointless for you to waste your time uploading them, as you mentioned it would already be a strain to get all of the other content you had uploaded...plus, it makes sense to avoid duplicates of info already on there. Specifically, I am talking about these blueprints:

M1911 CAD PPSH41, Yugo 49-57, American 180, and Browning 1919
M1919 Sten MkII, MP40, Yugo 56, and BMG 50
Liberator Pistol - From the book "The Liberator Pistol" by Ralph Hagan
Thompson 1928, MP38, BAR, and Vickers
PPsH41 Thompson SMG, MkI Lancaster, Ithaca M37, and UD-M4

Everything except the 1911 we already have...and in the exact same order as you've mentioned them (Again, I'm not accussing you of anything, it's just that this is what led me to believe they might be the same ones), so unless they are higher quality versions than the ones on the Library already, it might just result in wasted time and bandwidth on your part, as well as unnecessary duplicates on the FTP, if you upload them. Oh, and speaking of higher-quality versions of the blueprints, I'll be getting receiver plans for the 1918A2 BAR and the American 180, and I'll do a really high quality scan and upload it, if anyone's interested in something a lot clearer and more readable than the ones we currently have.

While this website is new to me, and indeed the graphic stolen. I assure you that the content hasn't been stolen from the Library.

I purchased this book almost 4 years ago from an ad in the back of the rude comic Viz.

Which was way before the ftp and library were even thought of.

Don't get me wrong it has much of the information that is on the ftp in the book, but has no way been stolen - except the image. Which I expect we shall be taking care of matters with that issue.

Still interested in the book?

Just taking a look around that web site, and if you click on the "Members Area" button at the top, it asks you for a password and username and all that crap.

However, as a bit of luck would have it if you direct your web page to: http://www.forbiddeninformation.com/toolbook/toolbookfp.html

Still ask's you for a username/password. But if any of you have web-spider programs or the such, they might work in downloading the directory?

Worth a try to see what's in the "Members Area" and to see if they have taken any information from here at least.

Stoic,

I wasn't accusing you (or anyone) of stealing anything from the FTP (actually the message about the duplicates was aimed at I_am_the_Black_one, not yourself); the only people I was accusing of stealing were the ones who ran the forbiddeninformation.com website. In fact, the mention of the books possibly being the same as the ones on the FTP was merely to avoid duplication of files on the FTP, not waste Ctrl_C's time having to sort and delete said duplicates, and possibly allow I_am_the_Black_one to use his limited 56K upload capacity more effectively, in uploading something we don't already have. Oh, and yes, I'd like to see that book on the FTP, so long as it's good (I'm asuming it is though) and not like the stuff Information Unlimited offers.

I'd like to appeal for some help in regards to the ftp. I have twice tried to restart an upload after being disconnected. Now being only 2mb away from finishing a 130mb upload, id like to resume it. So is any software in particular needed to resume, or has the resume feature been disabled? any ideas? thanks.

That brain-in-a-jar gif might have come from a clipart collection, I can't remember.

Liberator Pistol - From the book "The Liberator Pistol" by Ralph Hagan

PPsH41 Thompson SMG, MkI Lancaster, Ithaca M37, and UD-M4

So these are the only ones on the ftp that are not needed. I must confess I am a bit confused Are all the manuals on there as well?

Today il be uploading the "Us army international marksmanship guide" most of it is shit but there is a few good tips in there. Its 18 mb, if i upload can some one get rid of the black dots and shrink it?

Also what programs or plugins do I need to edit, shrink and create PDF's? I know there is a thread but I found noting much of interest to me on there. I downloaded the shrinker but as I am only running 128 mbs of SD it would be a joke for me to try and compress it

Oh and when the ftp was public I only had a 2 gig hard drive:D Il leave it up to you guys to detirmane if i could have stolen all those PDF's (I did not)

Edit:On second thoughts I think I will wait till I get a reply and know what software I need. And do it my self.
Could the soft ware some how be accidently uploaded to the FTP?

The brain picture was from an image anthology on a free site, it is not an original creation of mine.

So what the Stats on everything. how are we coming
Also it would be nice to to a shuffle frm -=Uploads=- to Recent.

Anways since not many of us created the things we upload it is possible that many New comers wil tyr and upload something allready here..I would like to say if you have a book that you think is relevent Upload it.. It would be realy nice if you could host some sample pages so that we could see what it is like.. http://www.picturetrail.com both are nice places.. If you happend to have the Data in PDF format you can use the Freebird Plugin with Adobe Acrobat to export the PDF pages to a Picture format.. then take ACDSee and convert it to a high compression Jpeg.. It sounds liek work but it will allow people to sample the work and you will not have huge files to have to upload.
