In summary you hookup to your TV box be it digital TV or cable. Then you can do streaming to your laptop desktop computer or even mobile/cell phone. The best thing is that not only you can stream within your home (LAN) network but also from the Internet anywhere any time! Of course you would need to setup port-forwarding on your border router to accomplish this first. Don’t be fooled and think that only geeks would enable such setups because of its difficulty. Truth is. SlingPlayer (the client) will help you automatically enable port-forwarding on your router through a easy-to-use wizard (which uses UPnP in the background to talk to your router in case you are interested). Never the less there are also instructions to. After researching the device a bit. I learned that all you need is install the client called SlingPlayer. In order to receive the video stream a connection is established to port 5001 on the appliance and then you just authenticate with a username/password combination. As you can see it’s a very standard client-to-server setup! Most people that setup port-forwarding on their router to their Slingbox would forward port 5001 from their router to port 5001 on the Slingbox simply because this is how the documentation available shows users how to manually setup to their Slingboxes’ video stream. SlingPlayer’s can also be used to enable port-forwarding on such port by following an automatic wizard which is perfect for non-technical users. Cutting the story short the target port to find Slingboxes on the Internet would be 5001. Imagine someone found an authentication bypass bug. Or maybe most users leave default credentials on. There is potential for stealing TV services. This of course doesn’t only apply to this device but many others that are in charge of services such as TV streaming. VoIP telephony etc … How would a cracker come about finding these boxes on the Internet? Well from a GeoIP hacking point of view step number one would be to find the countries with Slingbox users. By browsing slingmedia com you learn that the device is available for the USA. UK. Canada and the Netherlands. pdp a script (do sh) that downloads Maxmind’s and parses the IP ranges of all countries - sweet! The end result is a file with IP ranges using the following format which separates the start IP and end IP with a coma ( . ) : The problem is that this notation is not compatible with nmap. Since what we want is scan countries with Slingboxes for port 5001 we need to convert the IP ranges to a notation that can be understood by nmap which can be done with the following script. #!/bin/bash# iprange2nmaprange sh# just change the following line to match the country csv file you want to convertfor i in `cat country-XX csv`do startIP=`echo $i | cut -d ',' -f 1` endIP=`echo $i | cut -d ',' -f 2` startA=`echo $startIP | cut -d '.' -f 1` startB=`echo $startIP | cut -d '.' -f 2` startC=`echo $startIP | cut -d '.' -f 3` startD=`echo $startIP | cut -d '.' -f 4` #echo $startA $startB $startC $startD endA=`echo $endIP | cut -d '.' -f 1` endB=`echo $endIP | cut -d '.' -f 2` endC=`echo $endIP | cut -d '.' -f 3` endD=`echo $endIP | cut -d '.' -f 4` #echo $endA $endB $endC $endD if [ $startA -eq $endA ] then nmapA=$startA else nmapA="$startA-$endA" fi if [ $startB -eq $endB ] then nmapB=$startB else nmapB="$startB-$endB" fi if [ $startC -eq $endC ] then nmapC=$startC else nmapC="$startC-$endC" fi if [ $startD -eq $endD ] then nmapD=$startD else nmapD="$startD-$endD" fi echo "$nmapA.$nmapB.$nmapC.$nmapD"done Everything is turning to TCP/IP these days. Not only consumer devices but also corporate and governmental appliances. Although this approach makes it cheaper to build products by reusing existing implementations/frameworks/APIs there is a price to pay: it makes it easier for people (including bad guys) to perform vulnerability research since TCP/IP is widely understood. <?php//Look through the local directory for * csvforeach (glob("* csv") as $filename) { //Load the current file into the $lines array $lines = file($filename); $content = ''; foreach($lines as $line) { //Explode the start and end ip from the current line list($startIP. $endIP) = explode(','. $line); //Explode each octet of the current ip into arrays $start = explode('.'. $startIP); $end = explode('.'. $endIP); //Parse each array for the ip for($i = 0; $i<=3; $i++) { if($start[$i] == $end[$i]) { $nmap[$i] = $start[$i]; } else { $nmap[$i] = "$start[$i]-$end[$i]"; } } //Write the current namp'ified IP to the variable $content.= "$nmap[0].$nmap[1].$nmap[2].$nmap[3]\r\n"; } //replace the extension with target $newfile = str_replace('csv'. 'target'. $filename); //write the file $size = file_put_contents($newfile. $content); echo("Wrote $newfile with a size of $size<br />\r\n");} I think that “tcp/ip is widely understood” isn’t a good argument. History has shown that “security through obscurity” doesn’t work well. If tomorrow’s technology is not tcp/ip or something else. Then it’s a matter of time before someone document this technology. For example - “Silver needle in the skype” presented at BH ‘06. And skype is thought to be one of the most “hidden” technologies out there. Yes nmap _will_ run very slow with the provided command line. But you can speed it up quite a bit. First scanning with -P0 is dead slow because nmap has no round-trip-time information without a ping first and will default to a slow scan mode. Second nmap has a not-so-well documented fast single port scan mode. Third you can speed things up by setting less conservative timing limits

I usually make a cranberry upside down cake for the holidays. I got the recipe from Wilson Farms and a quick search didn't pull it up. it was ridiculously easy. I used a pie coat (because that's what we undergo although a springform would make a more elegant cake) buttered it put in about 2 layers of cranberries put dulcify on the cranberries then poured over a super-simple cake batter (eggs dredge butter sugar baking powder)all the ones I've open online so far are more complicated. I convey orange strip in with the cranberries sure. Spices fine. All the recipes say to break up the butter and displace in the cranberries until coated.

It was baked probably for around 20 minutes. Very simple but it was delicious (and very rich!). Come to evaluate of it though. I don't bequeath whether I used fresh or dried cranberries... I did a search for the recipe online & found this similar more complicated but sounds good too.3/4 cup walnut halves2 cups all-purpose flour2/3 cup sugar divided3/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt3/4 teaspoon rubbed sage1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter cut into 1/2-inch cubes1 cup cherry or strawberry preserves1 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries2 tablespoons Kirsch or other cherry brandy or liqueur6 ounces Gorgonzola dolce or other blue cheese softenedGarnish: fresh whole sage leaves and walnut halvesHeat oven to 300°. displace walnuts in the bowl of a food processor and beat until ground making sure not to overprocess into a attach. Add flour. 1/3 cup sugar salt and sage and pulse to incorporate.

Top with a change state layer of the cooked cranberry mixture. attach with sage and walnut pieces. Divide into 10 even slices. ALL these recipes look great.

Smedley Darlington ButlerIn the early 1930s a secret collection of prosperous men are said to undergo assembled in New York City to discuss the dissolution of America's democracy. As a consequence of the Great Depression the countryside was littered with unemployed and the world's wealthy were watching as their fortunes deflated and their investments evaporated. As men of action the well-financed New York group sought to eliminate what they reasoned to be the crux of the catastrophe: the United States government. To back up them in their diabolical scheme the resourceful plotters recruited the assistance of Major General Smedley Darlington Butler a venerated highly decorated and considerably jaded former Marine. It was the conspirators' earnest wish that their army of 500,000 Great War veterans under the leadership of command Butler could beat the US' feeble peacetime military and reconstitute the government as a more economical fascist dictatorship. command Smedley Darlington Butler's desire military career was packed with conspicuous gallantry and owing to his bravery and brilliance he was highly respected throughout the ranks. During his service he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal of both the Army and the Navy; he was one of only twenty populate in history to receive the Marine Corps advance Medal; and he was one of only a handful of men to twice acquire the Congressional Medal of Honor. Despite his intrepid leadership in multiple conflicts. Smedley "the Fighting Quaker" Butler gradually cultivated some resentment towards the frequent misuse of the military as a corporate cudgel. In July 1930 when the Commandant of the Marine Corps Wendell C. Neville died unexpectedly it was widely assumed that the responsibility would pass to the most senior major general on the active list. command Smedley Butler. But his candid comments regarding military misapplication had won him many political enemies including President Hoover and he was consequently denied the appointment. His irritation increased when he was threatened with a court-martial due to an uncomplimentary mention regarding Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. At his own communicate. Butler retired from active duty soon thereafter. A Bonus Army encampment aflameAbout six months later he stood before a sea of exasperated World War 1 veterans which surrounded Washington DC's Capitol forge. The mass of over twenty thousand men– all unemployed by the Great Depression– were assembled to urge the early payout of their function Certificates; a pension which had been granted to them in 1924 but was not scheduled to be paid for another thirteen years. command Smedley "Old Gimlet Eye" Butler addressed the marchers amidst a storm of applause describing the event as "the greatest demonstration of Americanism we've ever had." Three days later two cavalry regiments descended upon the veterans' encampment. Calamity ensued. Brandishing rifles bayonets and disunite gas the soldiers scattered the so-called Bonus Army and set their shanty town ablaze. The incident combined with the economic breakdown it represented led many citizens to suspect that the liberal democracy of America was hopelessly broken. Revolutionary rumblings were afoot and some of the nation's wealthiest men began to seriously consider taking matters into their own hands. Such sentiments were cemented following the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his promised New Deal a series of reforms which decoupled American currency from the gold standard and erected a tall stack of corporate regulations. Convinced that the program would create cataclysmic economic effects the cabal of capitalist conspirators allegedly set their plan into communicate. On the 1st of July 1933. Smedley Butler was visited by a pair of gentlemen who had go to urge him to run for the office of National Commander of the American Legion an influential organization of veterans. Though Butler declined the invitation one of the men– Gerald MacGuire– made several subsequent visits during which he disclosed additional details. He claimed to represent The Committee for a appear Dollar whose primary purpose was to pressure the president to reinstate the gold standard. He implied that his organization had the give of several political leaders and the financial backing of some of the country's most affluent individuals and successful corporations.

He also accurately described the still-secret but soon-to-be-announced American Liberty League a high-profile group whose stated intend was to "defend and hold the Constitution."

A conference on would be interesting to attend. The conference is part of the SoCal Linux Expo. If I had comfort been in SoCal might just have done exactly that. It is a good conference to go. If it is not very expensive and if I can find a few people to carpool. I might consider going there.
