You know when some lazy dumbass comes on the server and asks for some quick cheap info and we give him/her good ways to f*** up his comp. Do you think some of them actually take our advice and totally f*** up their comps?...

Well i think one did... but aside from that i think we should help them learn just not help them hack...
I don't know what you guys think about it though...

You should know my throughts on the matter by now koolpop
You've seen my mantra many times already in the forum I am sure.
research, read, understand
I agree to some extent that we should help them learn but many do not even want to do that and this is very clear from some of their postings.
I have been talking to plope a bit on msn lately and its worrying how similar our viewpoints are on such matters. I suggest (and I will gladly set this up) as a thread a recommended reading list of any interesting articles, tools, sites etc
This has happened (sucessfully) on other challenge sites which I've frequented over the last 10 years, example -
http://hackquest.de/index.php?name=PNph ... pic&t=1401
That way users can be directed to the thread and their search can begin.
As you can see fromt he hackquest one users can add to the topic with new links etc etc
Thoughts?

it might work but considering admin activity is low on this site (As far as I can tell) we may have a problem getting it up and working...
not to mention some pointless question that will still emerge because people refuse to read...

Bok should be pleased by forgetting him[/irony]
I'm positive about such a list, and on a sidenote (might open a topic about this once I found out more): anyone in here with experience on writing USB-drivers for linux(ubuntu atm). I have a program in Windows for using a DMX-box over USB, but the program is hardly capable of the lightshow and functionality I need.
To find out what data is being sent, I'm thinking about sniffing the USB-port, but due to the lack of usb-driver-knowledge in Windows, I think about resorting to a tool like
usbsnoop. Anyone know what it's worth?
