Spectre

There is one thing that I don't like about the banners - and that's the rough-edges of the fonts. Usually, applications such as Photoshop can smooth these out for you. You could also turn on the 'Smooth edge of screen fonts' feature in Windows.

Just because you fall victim to a cleverly crafted social engineering attack doesn't make you stupid. It is human nature to trust other people, especially people in a position of authority - which is a very exploitable trait.I've listened into, and been apart of, some very, very convincing social eningeering attempts, which even the smartest person who wasn't intentionally on their gaurd could fall for. If you put enough thinking and preperation into constructing a story line to play someone, then it can be very easy to fool them.Of course, social engineering attacks aren't generic, and it most definately helps to do some research on your target first. That generally makes it easier to sound like you know what you're talking about. Knowing what area they work in (assuming this is where you want to exploit them), what an average day would consist of in such a job, what typically happens in such an environment, what lingo is generally used by staff, and the names of some of the colleagues - as well as the target - can make you sound like the real thing. Dropping names and other such information that would usually only be known by a person in the position that you are claiming to be in is an invaluable asset when trying to extract information from people.Social engineering is generally done by phone or email. Obviously, going with the telephone can get very sticky at times. You also have to expect the unexpected - things don't always go as you plan, so sometimes you have to think on your toes and make sure you are ready with a response in case they ask something you aren't ready for. People might get suspicious, but you have to be able to shrug it off, and not sound like you're nervous. If people ask you something, you have to have an answer - or if you don't, then you have to weave it so it sounds like you do know what you are talking about.Often the pitch of your voice changes dramatically when you're nervous, or lying - which is a dead giveaway. You have to control things like that when you're trying to sound like the real deal.Anyway, I don't encourage the use of such practises for obtaining any illegal information, or information that you are going to use illegaly. So be straight, stay cool, and keep your nose clean.

As wassie just said, the 'www' directory is just a shortcut to the 'public_html' directory. So uploading it into 'www' will send it to 'public_html'. It doesn't matter which one you use, the files still end up in the same place.

How did you manage to tweak 57 seconds out of Internet Explorer? I could never manage more than about 23.

That's because only one random number is being generated, and that's at the start of the script. You need to generate a new random number for each loop, eg: for (i = 1; i < 11; i++) [br]{ [/br] var number = Math.round(Math.random()*9)[br] document.write("<td width='20px' border='#000' bgcolor='" + random[number] + "' height='20px'> </td>"); [/br]} I think you'll find that works better.

Very well done, lib2day. I like it.

Well, having a password-protected forum obviously wasn't going to work - it would be too much of a hassle to try and inform every new member that receives hosting, and keeping track of who has been informed and who hasn't would just get too hectic.The permission masks have been updated, so only users in the [==::HOSTED::==] usergroup can access the Hosted Members Area forum (as well as moderators and obviously, administrators).This means that it is critical that if you receive hosting from Trap 17 that you are in this group. All members are added after their hosting account is created, but from time to time, a couple get over-looked and aren't added to the group. So if you have hosting and aren't in this group, please let me know so I can add you.

psp-playstation, that doesn't necessarily make you better than anyone else.

cragllo, are you looking to host this on your own computer, or looking for someone to host it for you?Most paid hosting packages come with PHP and MySQL, and if you are hosting it yourself, you can get it for free.Also, I would recommend you don't use a flat-file for a database - they take up excessive amounts of bandwidth, and take a lot longer to process.

As for the first part: if($_POST['nameOfFile'] < 1I would assume that is to check that $_POST['nameOfFile'] (which is passed to the script from the form) does actually have a value. The fact that an integer comparison is used sort of makes it a little confusing though. I would have used either: if($_POST['nameOfFile'])[/br]// (because if a variable has an assigned value, then it will be returned as true) or[br]if($_POST['nameOfFile'] != ""[/br]// or[br]if(isset($_POST['nameOfFile'])But that's just me. substr($_FILES['uploadFile'], -4) != '.exe'This uses the substr(); function to select the last 4 characters of the filename entered, and then makes sure that are not '.exe'. Substr(); is used to select a certain portion of a string, eg: substr("My name is Spectre", 3)Will select all of the characters, starting at postion 3, so it would become 'name is Spectre'. Using a negative integer, eg. -4, will select the last -4 characters of the string. In an IF statement, 'x == y' means that 'x' is equal to 'y' (double equals sign is intentional), and 'x != y' means that 'x' is not equal to 'y'. Hope that sort of explains it for you. Checking the filename is certainly a good idea, but a binary check would be much more secure.

*Thread moved.Apparently, Google recently issued a new batch of invites, so I don't think it's going public just yet.

Man your way too harsh. If i was *cough* him *cough* i'd ban you just for the fun of it. Maybe I should ban you. 'Just for the fun of it'.

Pfft. For money? I don't think so.Hopefully no one (not mentioning any names or anything) will bend the rules to suit themselves over another Gmail account this time

Isn't a Canadian dollar worth roughly $0.60 US? So wouldn't you be able to get a domain name for around $10-$15?

Well, I'm afraid I can't help you any further. I can't go buying domains for everyone. All I can suggest is, as I said before, get a free domain such as those provided by UNI.CC.

It's just an idea, but I generally like to keep all of it together in a single file. You could achieve this by combining the scripts as shown below, but ensuring that only one portion is executed at a time (hence the need for the use of the if statement, and the exit function). <?php[br][/br]if(!isset($_POST['uploadFile'])) {[br] echo "<form action = 'upload.php' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>";[/br] echo "<input type = 'text' name='nameOfFile'>";[br] echo "<input type = 'file' name='uploadFile'>";[/br] echo "<input type = 'submit' value = 'Send'>";[br] echo "</form>";[/br] exit;[br]}[br][/br][/br]$letterArray = array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', [br]'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z');[br][/br]$arraySize = array_count_values($letterArray);[br][/br]for($n = 0; $n <= $arraySize; $n++)[/br]{[br] if(!is_dir($n))[/br] {[br] mkdir('somefolder/' . $n, 0666);[/br] }[br]}[br][/br]if($_POST['nameOfFile'] < 1 and substr($_FILES['uploadFile'], -4) != '.exe')[/br]{[br] for($i = 0; $i <= $arraySize; $i++)[/br] {[br] if(substr($_FILES['nameOfFile'], 1) == $i)[/br] {[br] $tmpFile = $_FILES['uploadFile']['tmp_name'];[/br] $dest = "http://yourwebsite.com/somefolder/" . $i . "/" . [br] $_FILES['uploadName']['name'];[/br] copy($tmpFile, $dest);[br] }[/br] } [br]}[/br]else[br]{[/br] echo "Sorry, but your file name was either too short or it had an invalid file [br] extension. Please go back and try again.";[/br]}[br][/br]?>

Pandemonium, where are you from? You can get domain names for about US$7 a year, not $40.

This was supposedly distributed in a few countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Whether or not it included Australia, I don't know (Australia does lie in that area, but I'm not sure whether it was only targetting Asia or not).From what I heard, it was supposed to counter the piracy of software by having a relatively low price tag. Apparently, software piracy is especially big in that region. Although I don't know how effective it will be - most people who are into software piracy would rather pay $10 for Windows XP Professional then probobly >$150 for Windows XP Lite.

I HATE GOOGLE TOO! :D

Then I'm afraid that's just bad luck. Sorry.You could try trading a domain name for something - for example, a Gmail account, which are pretty popular at the moment.Also, didn't you say you're from Nigeria, odomike? I'm pretty sure that you would be able to find a couple of domain registrars over there.

You better hide behind a smiley. Here comes a moderator... [dah dah dah duuuunnnn]... Roly, this: is considered spam, and will be deleted. Don't let it happen again.

My previous response was intended to be serious humor. But seeing as how you're the expert, you probobly already knew that.Roly may have been joking, he may not have. I was making it clear that should such things happen, I will personally throw whoever is responsible out of Trap 17. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, and I'm not suggesting that such things are going to happen. But should they arise, they will be dealt with.Just so long as we all understand each other.And cnce again, this is getting off topic. Keep it on, please.
