quad, hacking 7, and some random papers on malware and networking

as you know, my homeslice acdc is now one of the main admins of quad and we are running gentoo now. this box will continue to serve as a shellhost(primarily for irc) but a new VPS or dedicated host should be up in the near future that will cater to our more special needs. contact me, oc80z or acdc to get pricing and/or details.

and before i get to interesting things like the number 7, check out theopen source projects that http://www.coresecurity.com has going on!@#$

One of my favorites is the HeapDraw now known as HeapTrace. self-explanatory.. it graphic of a process as it evolves. pretty neat eh? there is nix and windows native installs so check it out.

now Hacking the magical number 7 .. the title made me immediately think of unix permissions numbers and how 1 , 2 , and 4 can all be summed together in any combination to result in a unique integer. now that is magic! not really, and the article is actually about memory.

"Our short term memory is widely believed to have a capacity of seven elements, plus or minus 2. This assumption has influenced a number of major decisions — it’s the reason that U.S. phone numbers have seven digits, for example."
