RE: Highly OT: I request your objective opinion
by Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Those not interested, delete now; others read on. Umm, first off, this does not appear to be religious in nature, so what was the point of bringing this up? So you thought Michael Moore was a nut-job? This guy is just as far out there in my opinion. I like how he blocks out the sound of what is really going on to blather on and on about a police state. Sounds like he is saying that someone in our government purposely let more than 3000 people get killed, just to have an excuse to go to war. I find that highly suspect. What I can tell you is that I personally noticed several years before 9-11-01, that certain access points were completely ignored by security, other than having a card-key door. I witnessed several people, apparently baggage handlers and pilots, going thru side doors in the airport at KMCI, St. Louis, Atlanta, Denver, Las Vegas, LAX, Chicago-O'Hare, Ft. Meyer's, Dallas and at least a couple others. That is EVERY airport I've been in. If anyone LET this happen, it was the airlines and the airport facilities management staff and their lax security procedures. Years before 9-11-01 we had Die Hard and Die Hard 2 and Nelson DeMille's "The Lion's Game" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0446608262/002-4878195-6655223?v=glance &n=283155 <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0446608262/002-4878195-6655223?v=glanc e&n=283155> <http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A//www.amazon.com/ exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0446608262%3Fv%3Dglance&ei=jCEXRP25LqKepAKU_o3zA Q&sig2=bz-lnx5-oKE8asSeR-NR1Q> That said, you can't guard against or plan for every eventuality. It is impossible. Just like when trying to make something idiot-proof, the universe comes up with a better idiot. Try to make someplace theft-proof or terror-proof and a more creative thief or terrorist will rise up. Witness the shoe-bomber. Who would have ever thought of putting a bomb in your shoe. None of us in our right minds can imagine the lengths that someone would go to in order to harm others for no real solid gain. I would say that at some point they will give up on trying to hurt people, but in my opinion, they are crazy and will never give up and try to live in a society built on compromise. From: On Behalf Of Arthur Pemberton Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 12:49 AM Hello fellow luggers, I cannot say that I know you guys very much at all. I am aware that there are both Christians and non Christians here. Those that claim not to be Christians also claim to be very objective, which one cannot deny to be a good thing. With this in mind, I would like you all to give your opinion on this video documentary that I have come across by chance. For all intents and purposes I think it is safe to give this an MPAA Rating of at least R. But I assume everyone on this list to be adults. I am not attempting to start any flaming, I just feel that it is my duty to pass this on to others: Here is the link, the first is to the original link from which I got it, the second is to a copy I made to my own site: [1] http://revradio.org/movies/ml.wmv [2] http://www.pembo13.com/pub/ml.wmv Thank you for your time Arthur -- As a boy I jumped through Windows, as a man I play with Penguins.

OT: Needed: Camping Tents
by Leo Mauler 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

My church social group would like to send everyone on a camping trip in May. The problem is that not everyone has a camping tent to sleep in, and there are financial issues preventing some of them from getting a tent on their own. If anyone has a good used tent they'd like to get rid of for free, please contact me off-list. We can come pick it up anywhere in the Greater Kansas City Metro Area, and someone can pick up a tent from Lawrence if necessary. And if anyone knows a place where one can find tents for $20 or less (two person dome-style is fine), this would be nice too. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

OT: For Sale: 17" iMac w/ 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, 512MB RAM, 160GB HD
by Cory Bosley 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Hello KCLUG, I purchased this iMac about a month ago, but have since realized that it was a want, not a need, so I am seeking to sell it. It's completely stock with the basic specs in the Subject line; the complete specs may be found at: http://www.apple.com/imac/whatsinside.html You may go to crucial.com or another website to order RAM if you wish to upgrade it; depending on how you intend to use the computer, it could stand to have some more RAM. The machine is in great condition; the screen has some dust and the non-screen part of the case has my fingerprints on it (I can clean it with a microfiber cloth if you'd like). I did not unwrap the keyboard or the mouse, since I had my own, so those are in perfect condition. I also did not purchase AppleCare. It has something like 11 months of limited warranty left. I will reinstall the base OS so that it boots into Apple's first boot setup mode. I am asking for $1150 OBO. Please email me personally at imac(a)bosleys.org, not the list. Alternatively, if you have any suggestions on where I might sell it locally, I'd love to hear from you - I'm trying KULUA and KCLUG. Best, Cory Bosley

He is proof that you can find a way to contribute to an Open Source project that interests you. Will also has some cool stories of performing reverse hacks on Chinese and Korean crackers. Next time you see him, ask him to tell you how Robin flooded the City's bandwidth and then got them disconnected from SBC. Surely he remembers that one.

KC Snort site unavailable
by Russ Starr 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

It has been noted by a few people that the Kansas City Snort user group site is down. My web provider changed the server my account was on without informing me, so I have to get the DNS changed for the domain. Unfortunately, the domain is owned by another member of our SNUG, so I'm waiting on him to change the DNS records. The site can be found at http://russix.net/kcsnort until DNS is happy. Thanks, -Russ

Kansas City Snort User Group
by Russ Starr 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hello kclug members. I used to be on this mailing list a few years ago and even went to a few past meetings. I am back on this list now and I wanted to inform you of the Kansas City Snort user group that we have formed. I figured there would be a handful of interested members here that would like to participate in our meetings or future events. We have had a couple of meetings so far and I would like to welcome anybody that wants to join our mailing list, our irc channel, or come to our meetings. We are just starting off and our group's focus is a pretty narrow topic, so we are relatively small. We tend to discuss many aspects of network security... not just IDS or even Snort for that. We have planned our regular meetings for the fourth Tuesday of the month in attempt to respect your regular meeting schedule. I feel like I'm spamming, but our website is at http://www.kcsnort.org. Go check it out... I'm sorry to say that if you didn't go to our first meeting, you missed Marty Roesch who happened to be in town that day and dropped in for our meeting. It was definitely a treat for our first meeting! :) Thanks, -Russ
