nwachinemel: For Naija?

I've met gr8 9ja hackers like Amadas,Dallas Ifakobale,Franco Boy,Estycool and co. bt am yet to meet any who has Linux on their PC talk more of Backtrack.
To be a very good hacker,you must be able to buy softwares which'll cost you almost your life savings or go through the hell of having a verified paypal account cos thats the payment option of most software companies.

ALTERNATIVELY,LEARN FROM THE MASTERS.
. lol. i dont know bout alot of nigerian but i use backtrack as my second OS with ubuntu 10.1 as third and also windows as first. i get most of my software online. u can also check a torrent site http://kat.ph. u will find almost anytin u are looking for free. just be care because dey might bind a trojan to it.

Javanian: And this was why i suggested you go through port 22 most Firewalls are very lenient with connections that pass through port 22. They see it as a secure connection. A good anrivirus will screen every thing that goes through port 80, Not as if it works all the time but your chances are higher...
ok i will try it. you av any idea of how to know default browser on system after hacking thru metsploit like ruby or batch script?

i tink the problem lies with metasploit shellcode. it is like most payload created with metasploit has a signature that is part of most anti virus database. all am looking for is a way to go around it. even encoding type like shikata_ga_nai is failing.

Javanian: let it pass through port 22...works in most cases, most firewalls and Anti Virus will let it pass...
yep. port 80 works too because the firewall will believe the computer is requesting for a web page. but the problem is that immediately the payload start working the anti virus detect it and stop it from working. what am saying is that the connection is not yet bin made before the exe file is stoped.

Yujin: Lol. 'You fellows', are you referring to Christians or Muslims? Christianity at least in Nigeria was not spread by the force of arms or coercion unlike Islam. Uthman Ibn Hodio and his band of murderers(whose story I know too well from the west through the east of northern nigeria) and their descendants who share their views would reap what they sowed and are still sowing.
You I believe are still a pagan and I advice you to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour for He alone is the hope of mankind. Though with beautiful and enticing customs and festivals, darkness hovers round paganism(idolatry) and man can only grope in darkness.
lol. one great difference btw xtian and muslim is that muslim knows dare origin and xtian dont. do u know how many ppl dat are killed during xtian crusade. check http://meforum.org/2159/are-judaism-and-christianity-as-violent-as-islam. and also islam101.com/terror/christianViolence.htm to know a little about your so saint religion.

lordZOUGA: no, I can't. but that's probably because I have never had need to make one.

my hacking instinct is currently pushing me towards ps3. I want to make a hack that will force game saves to exist on external media so that I can use cloud storage and synchronize saved game data across devices. I have setup the dev enviroment necessary for such a hack but...

if you want more ethical hackers here, just start a hack project and provide updates here. surely, they will come
dat great. i dont really know about ps3 cus i dont av it but i think is you can find where your games are bin stored. one tin i know is that it that the game saved will av a file format and since ps3 is like computer u can probably connect it thru wifi to ur computer and see if u can find the file format and then haxor it. just my thought. and about the project am actually palnning tot create a metasploit meterpreter ruby code that will automatically update my botnet to a compromise computer either zeus or cythisia and install it, stop the firewall from working and also upload a batch script i develope to download all browser saved password on the compromised computer. am having two problem 1. is how to evade the antivirus especially anti-virus that works in heuristic mode and also how to automatically detect the default browser on the system.

i have been searching nairaland for a while looking for an ethical hackers association or topic but i just cant see. is it that there is no hacker in nigeria or that they are just afraid to say they are hackers. when am talking about hackers i an not talking about free cheat for browsing or some hacking trick that you probably dont understand how it works yourself. am talking about hackers that know how to create there own exploit, very good in backtrack or other pen test tool. so that we can actually get to know each other and see how we can use our knowledge to help our country NIGERIA.
ProgrammingRe: Developing An Operating System - What Are The Prerequisites by justthinking: 8:29am On Feb 24, 2013
Abrantie GH: He may have developed the Linux kernel on a system which works like UNIX but he had no access to UNIX'S source code.

I know how to use Microsoft word. I use it every day. One day, I may decide to write a word processor like MS Word. When I do, would you say I modiffied MS Word to get mine? I don't think so. More than likely, I loved MS Word so much and was inspired to write the exact same thing to further add my own twist.
ok i underdstand. are you a programmer.
ProgrammingRe: Developing An Operating System - What Are The Prerequisites by justthinking: 9:53pm On Feb 23, 2013
Abrantie GH: Linus Tovalds did not modify UNIX to come up with Linux. After all, he couldn't do that even if he wanted to because UNIX is not open source.

He wrote Linux's kernel from scratch (without seeing the UNIX source code) to function like UNIX.

Secondly, Bill Gates didn't do much to CP/M-80 (which, by the way, was also a clone of CP/M owned by another company) to get his MS-DOS.

I'm not trying to take away from the accomplishments of Bill Gates. The reason why he's successful is not because he was a techie, but because he was business smart. The tech industry is litered with corpses of geniuses that died broke simply because they didn't have what it took to make money out of their inventions.

We could say Bill Gates got a lucky break. I don't know how the historry of microsoft would have turned out had this deal with IBM not landed on his lap.

I mean, to sum it up, Microsoft got paid royalty for every single machine IBM sold... and they sold a boatload. Bill gates turned a $50,000 investment into $MILLIONS!
i dont tink so. truly unix is not open source even AT&T filled a lawsuite againt BSD for using some of unix 6 code but in 1986, Maurice J. Bach, of AT&T Bell Labs, published The Design of the UNIX Operating System. This definitive description principally covered the System V Release 2 kernel, with some new features from Release 3 and BSD. and also truly linus created is own kernel wich is use for linux. but he developed the kernel on a mimix system wich is a unix system used for academics. that is why dare are alot of similarities between a unix system and a linux system because there kernel is almost the same that even in June 1994 in GNU's bulletin, Linux was referred to as a "free UNIX clone". and truly u can hardly see a strong difference between the TWO

i actually dont think anyone is discouraging him frm creating his OS for the matter of fact it gonna be one of the proudest moment for we nigerians. the tin is just that u cant just wake up a day and say you want to create an OS. especially for someone who seem just to start programming language. it just someone who just started physics and his already planning to build a space shuttle. from what av seen so far, ppl want to help, dare just telling him the grey areas and problem he might encounter along the way.
ProgrammingRe: Developing An Operating System - What Are The Prerequisites by justthinking: 8:23pm On Feb 23, 2013
Abrantie GH: Microsoft did not create MS-DOS. Bill gates bought an OS called CP/M-80 from a company called Seattle Computer Products for $50,000 and changed the name.
not only the name. they bought it and modify it to work for IBM machines. without dare modification it wont be able to work with IBM specification. so to me they created it. another example is how linux torvald modify a unix system to create a linux system. to the world he created linux

ghostofsparta: Why should I beat that? Am I suppose to be intimidated with the 80million code lines everyone is discouraging me with, you just typify those Nigerians who believes since it took the United States 200 years to attain a perfect quasi democracy, therefore Nigeria must tread through such long years. For your information, there are certain missiles like the Iron Dome and certain TomaHawks whose sophistication is beyond 200 million self-generating ultra-AI oriented code lines.


Who doesn't know?


@bolded^^^: Only useful piece out of everything you wrote


Tell me, is Bill Gates or Kevin Mitnick a mathematician? ofcourse who doesn't know one needs to employ certain levels of arithmetic to represent a problem in programming. And remember when I said it still depends.


No, what about it? I'm sure it won't be different from the rest of the pack in terms of its GUI
kelvin mitnic is a hacker and not an OS developer. and secondly bill gate created a Dos OS with paul alen for ibm computer. am not sure u will pay a kobo of ur money to buy such OS. the OS of our generation are more sophisticated than that. i strongly advice to take advice or less u wuld av wasted alot of time trying to create OS that u might not end up completing.

ProgrammingRe: Developing An Operating System - What Are The Prerequisites by justthinking: 3:56pm On Feb 23, 2013
ghostofsparta: I have been honing this idea which has been lingering in my mind for years now. It borders within a concept of a type of OS entirely different from the conventional ones. I'm now self-convinced that it may even give Microsoft's Windows a run for it dominance. Infact it's so beyond both conventional 'styled' and the super-futuristic ones in movies like Iron Man and rebooted Total Recall. It's far from what everyone is used to,from the likes of Wintel to the Linux based ones. But the issue I am having is I can't discuss my 'novel trove' with even my programming pals without divulging the main core concept in the hopes of getting some hints/advice on how to go about it. So since I'm left with the option of having to venture into programming myself, I have done my assignment here and there where I figured the basic differences between C, C++ and C# and why C is the most needed to learn for OSdev. I also learned that one shouldn't go into programming having OSdev in mind rather one should learn the languages "In and Out" first of all before thinking of coding 'garri' oriented apps much less of an operating system. I'll have to regard myself a n000b, hence using this thread to solicit ideas, guides and encouraging opinions on how to go about developing an operating system from scratch to perfection. I created this page as a forward to another page where game developers and programmers were being compared, I am aware it's not an easy task to do, some responders may say something like "dude, you need to ask yourself what purpose does your OS cater for" while some folks may say "stick to libraries". All I am asking as a n00b is what are the conditions prior to plunging into developing a totally bootable OS, hardware and software wise.

Thanks
it great trying to create an OS. it better for you to learn lot about C language before you can even start because for your OS to work, you av to know how to create your driver wich will interact wit youu hardware e.g mouse keyboard e.t.c and also how your GUI will be not to talk about developing the necessary protocol to support different service like networking SMB e.t.c. i tink u shuld try to download a linux OS full source and try to see if u can understand the code and also be able to modify some libraries or source code to your suit without causing trouble. after that u can start thinking about creating urs from scratch. but last time i check Na almost 1000 person they create OS

ifeness: I wonder how people read and understand the bible. It clearly stated men kind were modified to "replenish " ( REPOPULATE) the earth . These intelligent beings came from other planets,gave us part f their DNA to make slaves workers at first. Gradually man became intelligent( forbidden fruit) they learnt how to have and enjoy sex. The story
goes on.....

The bible( although the story doesn't originally belong to it) spoke about human encounters with intelligent being not born on our planet. Some of these being manipulated humans into worshiping them e.g Yahweh and others. They even bleeped our women for fun.

Anyone wanna know more Google The Book Of Enkhi, Credo Mutua, Quran.

What took Elijah into the sky? Chariot of fire/ spacecraft ? People should learn to think!
last time i read sometin lyk dis is about planex X, anunaki. nd it is a religion frm nothern iraq. say dat we human are creating tins that is bin created by the summarians. dont knw much about athiest but wat i know is dat i think that u guy are really messed up. cus what can u say about the mayans dat blieve the world will end dis year. or the summarian that belive there God lives in a planet X ouside our solar system and yet science cant prove it up to now.

You are 90% sure if your sponsor can convince me of adequate funds to cater for ur stay in Canada (and ofcourse other dependents) and a reliable source on income as well....

newacca: Do you have any property in Nigeria and any dox to support this?

Are you married? If no,do u have a common partner(i.e someone you have been living with for some years and you have agreed to get married)

what is your employment status? employed or self-employed? If yes,then get a letter from your employer to back ur study leave and also assure u of employment on ur return. This will be applicable if ur proposed course is related to d field u r employed for. If not, find advert placements on journals,magazine etc needing the qualified bodies in your area of proposed course. ( @least to prove that your qualification from ur proposed course is useful back home)
If you have a kind of business you are doing,you may include dox relating the business to you and the future of it.

In your case,you may need statement of purpose to make this work. Also, I think getting copies of some travel dox from ur brova won't be harmful,but goes a long way. #mythoughtthough# cos, I've seen similar cases here using passports(copies) of their sponsor's outta 9ja as back-up and it works.
It is good you let us know about your case,some other good lads in the house will throw in more suggestions soon.
I wish you good luck.
