Custom Boot Menu in Windows XP

Post by AskApache Jan 10, 200826 comments

One of the first things that I do upon receiving a new Windows computer is immediately create a poweruser-style customized boot menu. Then every time I boot I can choose Safe Mode, Recovery Console, Debug, whatever I want! It's quick and easy to set-up and everyone should have one, soo sweet!

NOTE: This is a very old post, I do NOT recommend DreamHost for anyone other than spammers. They are not a long-term solution.

If you can crash your daemon, you likely have a security problem

Post by AskApache Sep 23, 2007comment

Tons of awesome tips and tricks using netcat. Port redirector, nessus wrapper, capture exploits being sent by vuln scanners, etc. This is very useful for doing stuff like redirecting traffic through your firewall out to other places like web servers and mail hubs, while posing no risk to the firewall machine itself.

Custom PHP.ini with FastCGI on DreamHost

Post by AskApache Feb 22, 2007comment

I'm really sorry but I had to disable the sites you had running under user $USER because that was the only way I could keep the associated processes from restarting themselves and making the server unstable. Please do not run these sites with a persistent php.cgi process with a php.ini file as an argument.

Racing the Windows XP ACL demon

Post by AskApache Jan 22, 2007comment

Both of these pcs were behind a hardware/software firewall, and so each had their own host names, we'll say PEPSI and COKE, and they were both on a private network on the same subnet, so each belonged to a domain called MARKETING.
