‘Anonymous’ hackers intercept conversation between FBI and Scotland Yard on how to deal with hackers

The recording, which was posted on Youtube, refers to the on-going court case against Ryan Cleary, arrested last June for his alleged role in the group LulzSec, and reveals legally sensitive information.

I’d like to hear more as to how this was done.

Red Hat / CentOS: Swap / Change Ethernet Aliases

Red Hat / CentOS: Swap / Change Ethernet Aliases.

This didn’t work the first time I tried it and now it does.  For some reason eth0 and eth1 get switched on the 64bit CentOS 5.7 build which causes routing problems.  This can also be solved by fixing the static routes in /etc/rc.local.  It bothered me to have these interfaces have different names depending on what OS is running.  I think there’s also a way to force this in /etc/udev/ directory by adding a persistent-net rule file.  It all works now.

BTW: I also changed /etc/sysconfig/hwconf but don’t think that had any effect.

VGA, DVI display interfaces to bow out in five years

Intel and Advanced Micro Devices are phasing out chipset support for VGA by 2015, which could discourage PC makers from adding VGA ports. PC makers would need to add a separate chipset on the motherboard for VGA connectors, which could add to the cost of making a PC, O’Rourke said. Advanced Micro Devices has announced it would phase out chipset support for DVI by 2015.

Light-weight, modular cryptographic and SSL/TLS library – PolarSSL

PolarSSL makes it easy for developers to include cryptographic and SSL/TLS capabilities in their embedded products with as little hassle as possible. It is designed to be readable, documented, tested, loosely coupled and portable.

I found the above site from this article on Slashdot.

The major change is the removal of OpenSSL as the cryptographic core of OpenVPN-NL. Instead, the Dutch government opted to include the smaller, better readable and documented open source library PolarSSL to provide the cryptographic and SSL/TLS functionality.

Fibre Channel

Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) is a transport protocol (similar to TCP used in IP networks) which predominantly transports SCSI commands over Fibre Channel networks.[1][2]

via Fibre Channel – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Despite its name, Fibre Channel signaling can run on both twisted paircopperwire and fiber-opticcables.[1][2]

I still need to know how this is done over fibre.

The MySQL Cluster API Developer Guide

This guide provides information for developers wishing to develop applications against MySQL Cluster. Application interfaces covered include the low-level C++-language NDB API for the MySQL NDBCLUSTER storage engine, the C-language MGM API for communicating with and controlling MySQL Cluster management servers, and the MySQL Cluster Connector for Java, which is a a collection of Java APIs introduced in MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1 for writing applications against MySQL Cluster, including JDBC, JPA, and ClusterJ.
