I miss those classic "Hello Dear"' messages a few years back XD

I could had sworn that I read a similar method that the OP had suggested from some old school text document that's a part of 1000 + hacker package :/


I think it was something to do with encrypting harddisk drives and the author used a string of words to make a common phrase or sentence in 1337 5p3ak.

This is a quoted article from zdnet.com

"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has warned users to disable or uninstall Java software on their computers, amid continuing fears and an escalation in warnings from security experts that hundreds of millions of business and consumer users are vulnerable to a serious flaw.



Hackers have discovered a weakness in Java 7 security that could allow the installation of malicious software and malware on machines that could increase the chance of identity theft, or the unauthorized participation in a botnet that could bring down networks or be used to carry out denial-of-service attacks against Web sites.

"We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem," said the DHS' Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) in a post on its Web site on Thursday evening. "This vulnerability is being attacked in the wild, and is reported to be incorporated into exploit kits. Exploit code for this vulnerability is also publicly available."

Java users should disable or uninstall Java immediately to mitigate any damage.

The latest flaw, as earlier reported by ZDNet, is currently being exploited in the wild, security experts have warned. Alienvault Labs have reproduced and verified claims that the new zero-day that exploits a vulnerability in Java 7, according to security expert Brian Krebs.

As you can see below we tricked the malicious Java applet to execute the calc.exe in our lab.

Java is used by hundreds of millions of Windows, Mac and Linux machines -- along with mobile devices and embedded systems -- around the world to access interactive content or Web applications and services.

It's not uncommon for the U.S. government -- or any other government agency -- to advise against security threats, but rarely does an agency actively warn to disable software; rather they offer advice to mitigate such threats or potential attacks, such as updating software on their systems."

So what do you think ?

Well if your running Linux, or maybe you could find this for Windows too, there's this program called 'wipe' which works very well for me.....

Or is Youtube getting more pushy with their advertisements ? I'm seeing more and more annoying advertisements for things that I could care less for and this seems to happen for every second or third video I click on ... :/

when I first got into Youtube, it seemed like it only showed advertisements for people without accounts but now it's everywhere and it's especially bad for channels that make money ... :/

Staff note: edit your posts. I thought I warned you before about this.

Online tests are never accurate and you shouldn't trust paid tests at all. They give you an IQ that is very high, so you feel happy and pay for them. Let it be.

They said my IQ was between 59 and 76 .....

But wouldn't you need to add JAVA or PHP coding to get it to play a media file ? Well on the other hand it might lead to a security hole linking your server's error message html file to media unless you add it to your server's directory ... 


I do remember that exploit that had to do with Apache and the default "It works!" message but wasn't this an exploit with a lot of the server's default test page ? ... :/ 


There's also a way of finding these exploits with servers using advanced Google operands and search terms if I remember correctly .... But there's always the risk of coming across a honey pot, which, I think, emulates a certain exploitable server or OS that traps the attacker by logging his attack ....

Well I'll admit that I did it get to where it wasn't showing the formatting tags and I should had copied and pasted it in Gedit first before I posted it on here ....  I'm not used to a forums WYSIWYG post editor automatically parsing the format coding before you post it, a lot of forum sites just ignore the format of other sites but I'm having trouble with this sites WYSIWYG editor ....


I'll remember that the next time that I'm posting text from another site, to paste it first in a text editor to get rid of hidden formating codes .... :/
