My last CR blog entry (hopefully) Ok, I'm tired of talking about CR, so I found this code that uses the CR exploit to shut down the infected IIS server that's looking for default.ida on my server. It's all pretty simple -- just add 2 lines to Apache'
New server I'm spending my time geeking around. I upgraded my server – faster CPU, more RAM, more drive space, newer Red Hat distro. This is something I had planned for a while but never really got around to it. The only money I had to spend was on the CPU
New counter I just implemented this new Code Red counter and log code, which gives much more detailed information on who's spreading it around. You can also access the log by clicking on the number of attempts in the biobox above. The person at 63.198.114.108 needs to
Worm counter Well just for fun, i added a Code Red Worm counter, which you can see in the bio box up top. Looks like this might be here for a while.
Breeding like worms This is getting out of hand... Since my last post, the count has gone up to 201. A big chunk of them coming from the Code Red 2 strain. Lovely.
Hits Will this Code Red worm ever go away? As of now, my server has received 85 requests from the worm. Go away and find an NT box to infect! Speaking of hits, I've got a large spike of (non Code Red) hits these past 2 days, and I&
Bite me, code red Speaking of my server, I was just checking my Apache logs, and the Code Red worm finally made it my way. 14 times to be exact... Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Worm, but I don't run IIS. My Apache web server just logged your GET requests, and kept
Server saw the light I think my server had a near-death experience, though I think it was partially my fault. I was talking with a friend last night, and we were on the topic of distributed.net, and how I haven't crunched any units in about 2 years. So I decided to
DMCA madness I am living in a fucked up country. Isn't it ironic that China recently freed a U.S.-based university teacher convicted and sentenced for spying, while here in the U.S., a foreign citizen is being held hostage not for anything as serious as spying, but for
Pachell DSL It's going from bad to worse. As if the periodic sync problems aren't bad enough, now it's taking forever to do anything on the web. The transfer speed is fine, it's just that it's taking a super long time for
Blog code update I just tweaked my blog code so that it will display the last 5* log entries in the database. The way it was working before is that it would display all of the entries for a given month. This worked fine, except for when it was the 1st of the
Fast and furious I've been playing with Mozilla for a while now, and I have to say that it renders pages pretty damn fast. This is purely subjective (since there is no IE for Linux), but I'd have to say that it's faster than IE. This is
Fun with DHTML I now have one less project to worry about. Previously, my "bio" scroller on the top of my page wouldn't work in Netscape 6 / Mozilla (or anything using the Gecko rendering engine). But I just stumbled upon some DHTML scrolling code that works with NS6 and
Easily amused I'm entering in this blog from a fresh Win2K installation. No, I didn't trash my Linux partition – I installed it in VMware. I was previously running NT4, and I decided to take the plunge. I found it quite amusing that I could install Windows in a
God save the queen Just played some PSO and my character finally reached level 100. I was talking to this player in the UK, and he gave me this ultra-rare weapon. It rawks. One thing I've noticed is that all the UK players I've played with are very friendly, and
First bug Ack! I just noticed that Netscape is doing some funky formatting with some weblogs. Hmm... I think I know what it is, but I really need to sleep. Ah well. Who uses Netscape anyways??? Oops, I do.
underactive.net 5.0 Well I just pushed the new site online. Pretty snazzy, eh? Went by much quicker than I thought. Anyways, I haven't given it a good scrub, so there might be some broken links and missing images here and there. I'll catch those tomorrow. But for now,
New site Wow... another month has passed. Anyhoo... nothing new going on. I'm still looking for work. In the meantime, I'm keeping myself busy designing and building a PSO site. Then I'll hand it over to my brother and he'll throw in the content.
RIP DEN Wow... It's been exactly one year since DEN shut down. Seems like much longer than that. Out of all the dot-coms that bombed, I'm glad I was part of that one, and I consider myself very lucky to be a part of it. It was the
Stale site? Woops, sorry for the lack of updates. Anyways, I'm still alive. Nothing new happening on my end. Still looking for work. Actually I've been looking at the San Diego job market, and I would love to live and work there. The only problem would be finding
News quickies Wow... It's been a while since my last log entry so I think I'll just spew out what has happened since then. Oh... I got a PS2. Ordered it online at Circuit City on Easter Sunday, and picked it up the next day. I think I
Prodigy I just spent a good amount of time reminiscing on this site about Prodigy Classic. Prodigy (or *P) was my very first online experience. It even pre-dates my BBS days. I got it back in 92 and was a member for around 2 years. If you want to see what
Switch over Just wanted to say that I will soon be migrating underactive.net over from Linux/Apache to Windows98/Personal Web Server. I figure since I power down nightly to conserve electricity and keep my bill down (I live in sunny, and dark, California), I don't have to worry
google I just found out that my site turns up on the first page of results when I do a search for "underactive" on Google. Everything else on there is a whole bunch of medical stuff. Heh. =)
Guinness Welp, I'm back running Red Hat 7.0 (Guinness)... Yesterday, I was able to get RH 7.1 tweaked, optimized, and updated – for the most part. I saved installing XawTV for last, and that's where I started running into problems. Might be due to the fact
