Someone on the road

Saturday, March 11th, 2006

I was travelling by bus when a gentlemen besides me just popped up a book titled “The FOSS india” and i my eyes lit up.There i had finally someone to talk to today :P someone i could talk a lot and i mmediately pinned him down.He was a proffessor at IITM on a bus coz he had his car breakdown and didnt waste much time asking as to how he was doing away with FOSS and he was very humble eough to wait for my questions and answer them out little by little :D

He was one of the AI programmers for Alice pandorabots :P famous for its list of prizes .Its amazing you have someone sit around u who could just be working some of the most interesting projects happening around. and He was in turn asking me about how i was going thru this FOSS and i told him that i had been trying to doi soething with Openoffice and also i can dig around UNIX OS :p as such and he was speaking to me how this HURD was replaced by linux and how this affected the Free and OpenSource Software movement.It was ojnly recently that i knew linux aint the official kernel . and that Unix in intself being a powerful server stuff could leabd to dangerous conclusings if not seen properly.

For example a corrupt in /etc/fstab is only seen as file system crruption but it can also be from sockets :O shocked ? :P

will tell ya guys later :D my time here is running away :P i was :D feeling so dumb :P for sometime and im happy when im gettin down frm thsi 47A again :p he he i got to learn somethin froma gr8 man .

Taggy–
Again sat down to write something ended up writing somethin i loved to . Here onwards in think its gonna be tech all the way .My adventures with the ordinary end right here .

funny proofs…

Today i was about to meet babes :P well i will leave that to another entry i will talk something that cud actually be great.I went up to a converstaion and as it shifted to domains i become someone i was quite sometime ago.A spectator and i was looking down at everyone.When at the back i was putting every individual on a network and tried if there could be symmetric flow of data across N networks.I know i staerted off the bad way but today as i had absolutely nothing to talk and i just let my mind wander around while the discussion went on .When i designate every member there as Network family and try to put their talks in to my data.I realised whenever theres is a third party interruption in a network ,there exists a definite indication of sniffers for thats what they are meant for.

Everytime codelabs crashed and i was wondering how one could actually pierce thru a very safe group of individuals i realised as we represent four system users ,there could be an option someone is listening to the terminal we work on through a port.

If not many tried it works when u type this
$finger

username tty login w

the ttyX is the terminal no. they are working and although the permissions are initially to root.While there is work on they become writable by user and as in UNIX “everything in Unix is a file“They become writable by user.Hence

$cat /dev/ttyX& would put out the ocntents and they can always be put up thru the ports.And today when i was going tooooooooooo dumb in a conversation holding nothing for me :P i was think of this tool called snortstorm and a very effective and terminal to terminal :) and i relaised there definitely existed a snortstorm at codelabs.

This time im sure im gonna wait and see :P who pens up a port and im sure i can find out what port and hence which person :P ppl can sometimes be choosy abt numbers :P

Amidst all these :P let me tell u :D the day hasnt started for me :P

Taggy—
Sat down to write something else iam scribbling down some tech somehow i just relaised :P im better digging in to the UNIX and OS :D than trying to look somewhere else :)

Afterall someone did say “Out of Normal social expectations ” it was the last thing that struck me when i boarded on to the 47A :) back home :P and iam already feeling the bliss of just being theyaga :P
