From http://www.boingboing.net/2008/01/29/leaked-uk-govt-doc-r.html:

"UK campaigners NO2ID this morning enlisted the help of bloggers across the world to spread a leaked government document describing how the British government intends to go about "coercing" its citizens onto a National Identity Register. The 'ID card' is revealed as little more than a cover to create a official dossier and trackable ID for every UK resident - creating what NO2ID calls 'the database state'."

I wrote and released a paper on security issues regarding shared firewalls a while back. Check it out here.
Some notes on the Dream Multimedia Dreambox DM7000. Mostly "notes to self", really.
The programs below are just a few small utilities I've found useful. Other people have too, it seems. tcpdump2ascii just passed 1600 downloads around 02 Dec 1999.

xbiso v1.6 (30/6/2004)
XBISO is an XBOX ISO extractor written in Perl. It can extract the contents of an XBOX ISO file to disk, or directly to the XBOX via FTP.

This version of xbiso.pl is a modified port of Tonto Rosenfaunt's original 'xbiso', which was written in C. Though his version supports FTP, I couldn't find any version of libftp which would link with it (I was probably too lame/lazy to find the right one).

New in v1.6:

  • really fixed the size=0 bug, honest.

New in v1.5:

  • fixed problem with extracting to an existing directory

New in v1.3:

  • fixed crash for when files had size 0
  • changed default $tmpdir to CWD, suggested by matti hiljanen

New in v1.2:

  • Untested "xiso" support
  • Error reporting cleanups
  • Code cleanups

ATTENTION:

Version 0.41 is the last stable release I wrote.

If you still want the old original stuff, it's here:

whatpix v0.41 (08/05/2000)
WhatPix is a small perl program which keeps a database of MD5 checksums of files. It was written to supplement Usenet binary decoders (such as 'aub'), in that they (usually) indiscriminately download files you already have.
