  Cellphone Psychic Phenomenon or Not?
Posted by: safety - 05-22-2011 03:48 PM - No Replies

With the digital age all around us, is it possible that strange new events have begun to occur? Have you ever pulled your phone out, looked at it and put it back up only to have it go off seconds later? Does it seem like that event happens several times daily? Is it possible that many of us may be able to detect and/or predict these incoming alerts moments before our mobile devices do?

There has been at least one study conducted to determine if some people are more sensitive to mobile phone signals than others. This study concluded there was no evidence that the signals had a physical affect on the participants other than possible psychological factors. Unfortunately, the study did not determine if the participates could detect the signals without exhibiting an adverse reaction.

It is also possible that this behavior is nothing more than a new habit that we as humans have picked up. The fact that cellphone usage is so wide spread may condition us to check our devices at certain intervals every few minutes or at moments when our friends or loved ones conduct their daily activities. For example, your wife wakes up and sends you a good morning text message everyday. This would be no different than an alarm clock that wakes us up at the same time daily until we eventually begin to wake up before the alarm goes off.

I can only hope that further testing in this area will be conducted to determine if some individuals have the ability to sense and predict the signals around them or if this is simply nothing more than another daily distraction.

  WordPress Android App – No Blog for That Account
Posted by: safety - 05-22-2011 03:45 PM - No Replies

I have been trying for a few hours to get the Android WordPress app working with very little success. The only error I was given after trying to log in was, No blog for that account. After doing several searches and not really getting anywhere, I decided to check my wp-config.php.

I run WordPress in a multisite environment with several other bloggers. Upon inspection of my config file, I discovered that the BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE and SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE was set to 2 instead of 1. I changed the id back, tried logging in again and VIOLA! I was able to connect and browse all of the other blogs in my network as well. Hopefully this will help someone else out that is having a similar problem.

  Hide My A$$ Pro VPN OSX Script to Stop Networking on Disconnect
Posted by: safety - 05-22-2011 03:26 PM - No Replies

The HMA program for OSX is not as advance as the Windows version and lacks several features. My main complaint with the software is that you are unable to bind programs to the VPN connection. Since the whole point of using this service is to be anonymous, this would be defeated if the connection is lost for any reason.

The following script will bind all network activity to the VPN connection. Before using this script there are a few things that will need to be done. Please note that you will need root access to use this script.

Determine your path to Perl:

Code:
nDarkness:bin safety$ which perl
/opt/local/bin/perl
(This may be different on your system.)

Substitute this as the first line of the script below
Delete all firewall rules if they exist:
Code:
nDarkness:bin safety$ sudo ipfw f
Password:
Are you sure? [yn] y

Flushed all rules.
Now create a file with the command below and paste the script below that:
nDarkness:bin safety$ nano vpn_ipfw.pl
Code:
#!/opt/local/bin/perl -w

use strict;

if(@ARGV < 1) {

        die "Usage: sudo $0 ip_address\n";

} else {

        my $route = `netstat -r`;

        $route =~ m{(.*?)/32};

        my $address = "$1:443";

        system('ipfw add 01000 allow ip from any to any via tun0');
        system("ipfw add 01100 allow ip from any to $address");
        system('ipfw add 01200 deny ip from any to not me');
        system('ipfw add 65535 allow ip from any to any');

}
After this is entered, press ctrl+x => y => enter
Use the HMA software to connect to a VPN server and then run our script:
Code:
nDarkness:bin safety$ sudo perl vpn_ipfw.pl
Now if we lose our connection to the VPN server all networking activity will completely stop. To reconnect networking again you will need to repeat step 3 above.

  Sony – What Should They Do To Keep Your Business?
Posted by: safety - 05-22-2011 03:19 PM - No Replies

Sony has made a pretty big name for themselves recently by exposing their trusting customer’s confidential information. As details continue to emerge, it’s pretty obvious that Sony is the only one to blame. By taking a lackadaisical approach to network security, their customers are having to pay the price.

  • If the shoes were switched and you were one of the Sony board members, what would you do to ensure your customers that the same mistakes won’t be repeated?
  • How do you “make it up” to them for the mistake?
  • Is Sony’s only saving grace their seemingly endless checkbook?
  • How many of you will never do business with Sony again?
