howdy guys,<br>
<br>
thank you for starting this topic.As you know the same seminar was held at BMS college on tuesday this week!<br>
thanks for breaking the silence since a lot of guys here know that im
from bms and unfortunately a lot do also know that he was in bmsce.<br>
<br>
this was just his publicity stunt. since he's running out of book
material!(ie: since he cant find anymore stuff to strip off!) he
decided to pull a certification program and this is sort of a campaign
for it.<br>
<br>
anyways let me get to some juice... a week back my hod told me that he
was coming and i exclaimed back that he was a big joke!...a lamer...and
that the first book was nothing but a rip off from GTMHH! but since we
did'nt invite him and he invited himself with a fancy letter we had to
have him down.<br>
<br>
whatever said...i was not keen on his arrival. on the day of the
seminar, tuesday, i am asked to start with the introduction speech for
the seminar...damn!..i was seriously hoping to escape but being prez of
the cse dept thats not right is, it?<br>
<br>
so we are sitting in the room back stage and ankit arrives...he sat
down switches on his laptop, and goes through his stuff. a reliance guy
hands him the mobile internet kit and begins to try and connect online
since he needs it for his seminar. im jus watching. <br>
<br>
problem begins. ankit is unable to configure the net conn. he calls up
someone again from reliance... let me talk about the conversation here.
its one way but you here the man speaking which is essential enough for
us!<br>
<br>
&quot;im unable to connect to the net&quot;<br>
<br>
&quot;uh huh...ok... where is that...control panel?&quot;<br>
<br>
&quot;wait a sec...let me reach there&quot;<br>
<br>
&quot;ok now do i have to double click this?&quot;<br>
<br>
i had to excuse myself out... way too much to handle.... i needed a smoke and a laugh.... <br>
<br>
ultimately he was 30 min late... due to the complex, intricate problems
with connecting to the world wide web and the crowd was getting
frantic, and jittery<br>
<br>
as one of you already pointed out- no code. none.<br>
<br>
some of the essential demos you missed are!:<br>
* using proxy's! (better kick yourself now)<br>
* using <a href="http://anonymizer.com">anonymizer.com</a>!<br>
* forge an email (everyone got busy taking down notes for the telnet cmd)<br>
* using netbus (wow!)<br>
<br>
i have no problems with the guy. my issue with him is simple- if he
tells me he is a business man i ll shake his hand. congratulate him in
fact for realizing such an obvious market which no one struck before.
but if he tells me he is a hacker then thats crossing some line.<br>
<br>
cheerio guys<br>
<br>
nirmal thacker (yeah thats my surname!)<br>
<br>
ps: for all you frustrated real hackers i have a treat for you!...
utsav is an inter-collegiate festival held in bmsce which most of you
must have heard of. this time however im handling a hacking event,
which has never been held before (at least at bmsce)!... it will
consist of 3 rounds. a written round, followed by an info gathering
round and the last level which will test your real skill!(im not gonna
tell you that am i?). you will work on a linux distro and you can use
any tool you wish. come on fellas... lets do some real stuff...hoping
to see you guys there!<br>
