A group of researchers stole the ‘torpig’ bot-net for 10 days. Encryption madness ensued….

Here’s the google techtalk about what they did to take over the botnet and analyze it (get ready its long and boring (an hour and 15 minutes) but crazy):

Protect your passwords and your intertubes!

Stepping into the verse’ of the known, we try to change our concept of reality with technology. It’s a very weird feeling moving your ideals into a new plane of thought. Augmented reality is such an approach that you perceive extra dimensions on-top of your physical plane. Here is a building that displays QR codes that can be used for a variety of applications (shopping, twitter updates, advertising, entertainment, etc).

The iPhone application is not in the iTunes App Store, but is available to interested parties on request. The project is a collaboration between teradadesign and Qosmo.

Imagine yourself walking around the grocery store holding your phone up to every product for up-to-date reviews. Imagine going out to a night club, pointing your phone at a person  to view their social profile (“Oh, that person like’s cheese?”). There may be a time where you browse your favorite books at the library with QR codes. You could put a QR code on the back of your transportation that links to your website. The best part about QR codes is, you don’t know what you’re going to get. It’s like finding treasure (good or bad).

Omg! It’s almost here! I’m getting wet just imagining the possibilities that we will share and the creations that we will freaking have. Woo! Can I just scream “CARL SAGAN” when ever I want? That’s how joyous of an occasion this is to me.

Forget the upcoming holiday woes and come blast me and my friends in the face with virtual projectiles (like bullets, plasma shells, rockets, swords, frisbeez, you name it). All you have to do is get yourself hyped for Saturday (November 14th) and then bring your computer over on Saturday…

There is going to be a keg so keep that in consideration when deciding what to bring. Entrance fee is $7 (7 United States Dollars). There will be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 or Netflix Instant watch for friends that don’t bring computers. No violent attitudes, you will be forced out of the location left to wait for your things. Gaming starts at Noon, drinks later, show up any time. We may be playing some Heros of Newerth, so grab a key from a friend if you don’t have that yet. Don’t be pissed when we play network hearts. It’s a lan, when else would we have that opportunity?!

This post is for Windows XP and Windows 2003.

If using Windows 2000 and IIS 5.0, you need to disable socket pooling. Here is the Microsoft article for disabling socket pooling in IIS 6.

This info discusses how to change (force) which IP addresses that IIS listens too. There are several scenarios that this would fall into. Most people generally only need to separate services and IIS listens to all IP addresses by default, IP so errors will occur if multiple web servers are using port 80 on the same IP. Example: Your server has multiple IP addresses and you need to run a new apache wordpress blog site on a separate dedicated IP address then your .net survey e-commerce IIS site to avoid any conflicts.
