Forum Thread: Find IP Address of Remote Computer

Ok, so I would like to know how to find out IP address of a remote computer over internet. I know about getting the user to my site and logging their IP address, but I am looking forward to more intuitive method of getting the target's IP. Directing the user to my site is not the best way to get the IP for instance the user will get suspicious when asking hit to visit a site for no obvious reason, moreover anyone with even a slight knowledge would figure out the reason. Also it fails if targe...

Yes, here it is, the time of the year we have all been waiting for. The time where things are dropping in price faster then one might imagine.

Forum Thread: Disabled Disks on a Hard Drive,What?!?

I was reading one day in Maximum PC or PC World Magazine that all hard drives made by any one particular manufacturer are all the same. the only difference is that some of the disks are disabled, so I recently bought a 1 TB external hard drive in the hopes that I could enable the "hidden" disks. If there is truly a way to do this, could someone tell how, or point me to an article that could show me? I've searched the internet with every search term I could think of. nadda.

Forum Thread: Updated Ophcrack Article

My first article on Wonderhowto was a post on using Ophcrack to break into Windows PC's, I've now written an updated version of that article here on helium. I will still be writing on Wonderhowto but I've decided to try writing all over to see which is the best for me. The new article includes everything the old article did, but instead of using an "unlisted ISO" you can use the listed one, and the new article includes short paragraphs on how Ophcrack works and how to prevent it being used ag...

Forum Thread: Filtered Internet Service.

Yo nullbyte, it's been a while. I'm in the market for a filtered internet service provider that blocks all of the nasty stuff on the internet straight from the server. if there is such an ISP, I need to know, but after talking with a sales rep for true vine online, he says that a service like that is illegal because of first ammendment rights to freedom of speech, etc. he said that the only way to filter something is to install software that filters it outside of the server. the only proplem ...

Forum Thread: Low Bandwidth/Slow Connection Solutions

i have low bandwidth and a slower connection at home, i am looking for a solution to this. What I am currently doing is downloading a torrent and uploading files to multiple PayPerDownload sites, im still on my first 'wave' of uploads, ~44gb, this is taking far to long, ~200kbps max upload total.

Forum Thread: ANOMOS Help | Using Tor + Privoxy (OSX)

Forum Thread: That math post I made...

So, I know that math post was mad basic. Actually covering grade school operations, crazy right? I was thinking that I would get some kind of feedback from the community at large to that effect with, ideally, some kind of "I was really hoping you did _______ instead…." because just saying "A post on useful math!" means basically everything. I would like to share the knowledge and understanding I have but this is a multi-year formal education styled accumulation of complicated material with a ...
