Hot answers tagged honeypot
There are mostly two kinds of attackers: the automatic, and the targeted.
Automatic attackers are not humans; they are infected machines, part of various botnets, which try to expand their basis by finding other machines to infect. Their strategy is mostly random: they try random IP address for an open SSH server, then try common passwords for common ...
Yes and no. They may not have your password in plaintext, but they have enough to potentially guess it and verify that guess (i.e. offline brute forcing).
WPA2 authentication is performed through a four-way handshake. Instead of just sending your password in plaintext to any access point you connect to, this handshake ensures that unless both parties ...
If you just want to get your honeypot machine compromised and part of a botnet, you will need to be running vulnerable services on the machine. The vulnerable services you choose will have to match the ports that you have forwarded to the honeypot machine and will also have to match the services that worms are actively trying to exploit.
For a Windows XP ...
Especially given your lack of network experience, that sounds like a substantial risk to your home network to me :) Alternatively you could deploy it in the cloud for not much money and watch it there.
See DMZ (Wikipedia) for background and other answers here for tips on designing DMZs. Unless you have a real firewall node providing network separation ...
May I suggest some honeypots designed for things exactly like what you describe:
WebLabyrinth ( info )
DShield Web Honeypot Project
Usually a large number of log entries from a honeypot are from one of two reasons:
Your environment is getting scanned like a smudged barcode.
You made the mistake of putting your honeypot on a non-dark network.
You've configured your honeypot as a pretty typical Windows desktop, so lots of Windows service active, open sharing, etc. What you are likely ...
There are many ways to gain experience. You could follow metasploit's guide to How to set up a penetration testing lab, then attack the systems yourself and observe if and how the logging or security tools detected your activities.
For learning purposes, it's far easier to follow the cause and effect when doing the above.
Check out ...
If you want to do this, two things could make your life a bit safer:
segregate it fully from your network (see @nealmcb's answer and link)
check out the honeynet project at honeynet.org for preconfigured scripts, VM's etc.
Your problem is the placement of a honeypot.
Consider that attackers will scan the internet to look for port 22 open, but they wont scan the whole IP space from start to end. Servers are concentrated in certain parts of the IP space. And similarly, simple internet subscribers are located in other parts of that space. So you have to use the IPs in the right ...
Your idea of fingerprinting is very similar to wireless signals intelligence in WWII. Both sides used to have whole departments whose role was to learn the code style, or "fist" of the opposing side's wireless operators. By tracking these profiles and using radio direction finding they gained a surprising amount of information about troop and vessel ...
This is the same as a High Interaction Honeypot idea, but you seem to be asking about embedding honeypot elements in production systems. Even so, I believe that the best practices for honeypots would apply here.
As for your second bullet point, a Data Loss Protection system would seem to be a better way to go. You can monitor, track, and most importantly, ...
As nealmcb suggests, given your lack of network experience that is evident, I'd also advice against trying to run a high interaction honeypot.
There are other solutions you may try, but it all depends on what you want to monitor exactly. There are ready made honeypot implementations out there with log and keystroke capturing and everything, but they are ...
You're reading the proposal slightly wrong. This is not intended as a safeguard to detect an intrusion to already compromised system, but as means of detecting compromised system's database. This is a whole different scenario, where the attacker wouldn't already have gained access to the system by knowing any end user password, but somehow (improperly ...
Might there be some value in going the whole nine yards and instead of just having a dummy 'admin' account, using the hidden operating system functionality of truecrypt to run your own 'actaul' os thereby giving them the whole (unhidden) operating system to play with (which you have installed your tracking rootkit onto etc)? This way, you can really give ...
I don't have the exact specs to hand, however we used to run a very successful wireless honeynet based on freely available sources which we would take to sensitive environments to see whether there were active attackers in the environment, and what they would do.
Core to our setup was a laptop running a honeynet based environment, with simulated traffic ...
What you created is a high-interaction honeypot, ie a live system waiting to be compromised and later analysed by a foresics investigator (that being you of course). I would start with a linux-based, low-interaction honeypot. It creates a virtual filesystem and fake services that can make attackers (or their automated tool) believe this is a "real" system, ...
The best way to address the problem of sql injection is to use parametrized queries, which can be done with a library like PDO or MySQLi. You must actually patch vulnerabilities in your web application. I recommend using a free service like Sitewatch or an open source tool like wapiti. These solutions will detect a lot more than just sql injection in ...
No, WPA2 Passwords are not sent in plaintext. If this were the case, anyone could deauth you from the network and sniff the password directly from reconnection handshake.
They can, on the other-hand grab the encrypted handshake and crack it using aircrack-ng. Other than a faraday cage, you really can't prevent this.
There are mitigation methods like ...
Its talking about bittorrent clients not protecting itself properly. Also the article got this wrong the vulnerability is NOT in tor itself but the client using it.
This quote is too vague
The user's BitTorrent client then attempts to make a data connection
directly to the honeypot without using Tor, thus revealing the user's
IP address to the ...
As long as your router has its access rules to not allow any connections from your honeypot to the rest of your network then that should work out fine. Only allow connections from the management network or IP addresses to the linux VM host and honeypot, that way if either is hacked it won't be able to attack your network directly.
Make sure there's no ...
I would call this an evil twin attack. And it's not uncommon to see corporate laptops vulnerable to this.
WPA2-Enterprise supports a number of EAPs - Extensible Authentication Protocols. (Wikipedia article) The security depends on which EAP you use, and how you configure it. Some EAPs more vulnerable to an "evil twin" attack than PSK, as an attacker doesn't ...
Your honey pot will be taken over by the attacker; that's the point. So anything that can be done from that machine will be power granted to the attacker. Therefore, you should configure things such that the attacker does not gain any new power that way. This means the following:
All other machines in your network MUST consider the honey pot as hostile ...
Typically a honeynet is used as a defensive tool and is used to (sort of) trap attackers. It is designed to fool them into thinking they are on a real system (though most good attackers can quickly detect it's a honeypot). By fooling the attacker, the "honeypot owner" is hoping to learn more about the attacker's motives and techniques. The honeypot is ...
Tor acts as a SOCKS 5 proxy and SOCKS 5 proxies can only proxy TCP data. Now DNS has similar issues so tor has a built in TCP encapsulation for DNS data, however such encapsulation is protocol dependent to work well.
Now, it is possible to do this with the DHT protocol (which one? there are two different ones). It's a lot of work and has not been done for ...
Design a machine image that is capable of running a virtual server inside of it. Your domain image is there to provide security and monitoring. Primarily, it is needed to keep anything sufficiently ugly from flowing OUT of your honeypot. Also, packet captures!
Stick the honeypot inside it, and you can turn them on and off at your heart's content.
Legal ...
By the definition of a honey pot, no, they are not a prevention tool. Honeypots are a tool for behavioral analysis (by seeing what kind of data they are after), slowing an attacker down (by giving them large amounts of noise to manipulate), or fingerprinting an attacker (you have a copy of all the files in the honeypot, and you can compare their downloads ...
I think you've got the right answer posting on hacking forums, the ones for those more interested in the process than gain. $15 isn't going to interest a for gain hacker, and you've (hopefully) no information worth stealing. Tell them you've built an SSHD that is extra hard to crack, kudos to anyone who can crack it. It may get interest.
Alternatively you ...
I think a wide variety of hosts will be the key for you. I just checked the few hosts I run that have port 22 open to the world and they all saw in the range of thousands of attempts per day. I haven't seen more than 15,000 in one day. That seems fairly normal.
I checked three hosts at three different hosting providers: AWS EC2, OVH and iomart. All in ...
If they are already in your network, just adding a honeypot may or may not be effective - you don't know what they already know of your network.
Do they know the IP ranges for HR, finance, data storage systems etc?
Do they have access to your change management system and would spot a new addition to the network?
Have they already backdoored the servers ...
If you set the network type to your virtual machines to Internal Network with the same internal network name (an arbitrary string of your choosing, but the same for all machines), and then configure (in the Advanced settings) the promiscuous mode to Allow All, then the VM will be all hooked to a virtual hub which is like a switch which mirrors everything ...

THIS. IS. FABULOUS! I can't understand why the reviews are so poor, I love this product! I got it a while ago for christmas, and I totally fell in love. It feels awesomely tingly, and it looks all sparkly and bluish, but in a good way!! The price wasn't TOO bad either. I would definitely buy again.
I bought this lipgloss about a week ago and i am soo dissapointed!
The sales person told me that my teeth would look whiter- well I do have really white teeth already- but i thought this would be great!
I put it on the first time and i do like the consistency and smell of it! It feels fresh on your lips but I have soo many lipglosses that are like that. I only bought it for the whiter smile effect and it really does not work for that porpuse! :-(
I whish I didn´t spend my money on that! It was almost 20 Euros!
I love this lipgloss, mainly for the gorgeous smell and taste! It tastes just like minty chewing gum, and although it probably doesn't actually freshen your breath it does make you feel fresher. It looks nice on, the little blue sparkles are very pretty when they catch the light and the actual gloss does not come out blue unless you absolutely cake it on. As for the teeth-whitening properties, obviously it doesn't make a difference to the actual colour of your teeth but I find it somewhat brightens my smile as a whole. The bad thing about it is that it doesn't last very long, I have had to reapply it constantly and as a result I have gotten through my tube extremely quickly. As with all Benefit products it's very overpriced for something that won't last forever or that you can probably find a cheaper alternative (like Bourjois menthol lip gloss). I like the box it comes in but I think the tube is a bit plain! Overall it's a good buy for those who can afford it.
I have to admit, I do like this product. It smells amazing and applies easily, giving a nice glittery gloss with a slightly blue tint, which I find goes well with certain shades of red. However, this simply isn't worth the price, so whilst I like it as a sample, I wouldn't spend money on a replacement.
Great taste and smell. I do use it quite often and enjoy the feeling of it on my lips. However it is really pricey and I have other lip balms and glosses that does a better job at keeping my lips soft and moisturized longer. So won't rebuy.
More reviews by Strikingreality
I am generally not a lipgloss person, bu I quite like this. It comes in a nice squeeze tube, which is a good idea, and It allows me to apply directly over another lip colour, rather than using a doe foot wand (which will transfer the lip colour to the wand). I like the clear glassy look which doesn't change the original colour of the lipstick, but instead enhance it. I like the minty flavour. Will I buy again? Hmm. I am not sure about this, I take ages to finish my lip glosses cuz I don't use them that often. I might get a cheaper alternative if something comes along.
I like this product ok. It is minty, which is nice and goes on clear. I like to layer it over the Posie Tint (they showed me at Sephora). For a clear lip gloss though, not sure I would re-purchase. Probably try something different.
I bought this after a makeup trial session in a local department store. At first I was really impressed. My lips looked nice and shiny and natural and the minty taste was delicious - ok, you aren't meant to eat you lipgloss (somewhere along with eating crayons, I suspect!). I think the packaging is lovely - as with all Benefit products - but I am now having some doubts about the actual product. My problem is that if you apply too much you can look like you have been asphyxiated but if yoy don't apply enough, it doesn't make that big an impact. To be honest, you could probably pick something up for half or less the cost of this and it would be every bit as good, if not better.
Very medicore lipgloss. It has chunky/gritty particles of glitter in it which feel quite nasty when I rub my lips together. The blue tone does slightly help to make my teeth look whiter...but I don't like the shimmeriness of the lipgloss. I love the smell (minty) but that's about it. Lasting power isn't good at all, it goes within 5 mins leaving nothing but a few shimmers on my lips.
This lipgloss is brilliant.
The blue undertones, as claimed, really do make teeth appear whiter and in turn that makes the complexion look more radiant i feel.
It's glittery which is nice in a gloss and it's not too sticky. The only downside is that the chunks of glitter feel a bit gritty on your lips and the gloss doesnt last a very long time. However that's fine because i LOVE the minty taste of it so much i'm more than happy to reapply.
Overall a flattering teeth whitening lipgloss that i imagine would look good on all skintones (smells and tastes nice too which is always a bonus)

Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to let you know I had a successful maiden of my Stryker! I was so paranoid because of a failed MicroJet maiden ~6 months ago... The Stryker is A LOT easier to launch than that thing! I did land it in the dirt (the only runway we have) and it got scuffed a bit, but oh well. After seeing all of the nice Stryker paint jobs on this thread I'm going to paint a spare airframe down the road. |

I just noticed because I've noticed that my battery comes out pretty warm even after flying moderately on a cool day. I'm thinking about opening up some passages to provide even more air flow to the battery and ESC than it gets in the stock configuration to give some margin for flights on hot days.
It probably would not have killed your battery or ESC but more ventilation is always better. Glad I could help. |

If you set the brake you probably run more chance of breaking the prop since it will eventually stop in the vertical position and not move horizontal as easily upon landing. If I remember right my prop doesn't freewheel anyway in a glide. The only reason to set the brake would be to improve glide performance but the Stryker isn't really much a glider in any case so setting the brake offers little to no advantage. |
Jan 04, 2007, 10:25 AM | ||
I run the brake, but remember that it just adds friction by shorting the motor and making it generate in a load when off. There isn't enough to stop the motor in a high speed dive, but once it slows it stops. Has to have less drag that way. And my Stryker isn't a sailplane, but at slow speed you may be surprised by how long she will glide, especially on thermal days! |

Well I tried to maiden my Stryker thursday and it was short. The first three trys was at 60% to 70% throttle and it went down and scooted on the grass. The 4th try was at full throttle and it got airborn and flew straight for about 50 feet and it took a sharp turn to the right and nosed in hard and did about 7 or 8 cart wheels. Good thing it did turn right because it was headed toward the trees. I should have tried to level off but i was afraid it was going into the trees.
Well there was very little wind, but it couldn't make up it's mind which way it wanted to blow. Damage done, both hatches poped off and it put a few wrinkles in the nose and front of body, but i have made the repairs and it is ready to try again. Can any one tell me what i did wrong? Any help will be appreciated very much. |

I have had similar problems with a B I used to own, but now I have the C I love it. Basically I have found that the pre launch is all important. set the elevons to neutral setting, then limit the end points and thus travel on your servos (if you can), make sure the batt is in the right location and thus also a correct CG. If you want to, dial in a small ammount of reflex, I don't, but if you don't want to go to full throttle right after launch then you will need some reflex, if like me you go straight to full following launch, then neutral elevon settings are what you need.
Then a power off launch, don't want to catch those fingers in that C bird's prop, (bad things happen then) straight after launch throttle up. TIP; I have my flight buddy launch mine (thanks deadstik3) I have total trust in him to launch well and he must have trust in me not to throttle up before it leaves his hand, but we are old freinds of old so no probs. If you can get a trusted flight buddy to launch for you the 1st few times, the 1st climb out can be harrowing to say the least. Climb to altitude and do some simple orbitals to get used to how she flies, nothing fancy, then land, re check the bird over and re launch, repeat as desired till dark . 30pm she climbs out great for me with neutral trims and full throttle, but I have quite some time in on delta's, if you are going for a slower throttle setting a little relfex dialed in is the way to go, which is the same for any speed based wing, as the speed increases you will have to take some reflex trimming off it and as the speed slows down put back the reflex. This can be hard to grasp so be aware that if you do go to full throttle with reflex dialed in, the stryker will climb basically until out of range, I have pushed this a few times until almost losing sight of the plane. Well this is just my experiences that I'm passing along, I hope this helps, let me know if it helped you. Anyone else got any thoughts? regards, Fatts |
Jan 06, 2007, 10:36 AM | |
Papa 1931, did you have any up elevon dialed in? could you be stalling? Do you have plenty of thrust, cause torque pulls to the left usually.
I am dialing in a low power setting, just enough to stay up I am throwing it with a hard follow through pitch, to insure the motor isnt near my arm and hand, and then just get it flying. After she settles, I bring in more throttle. This plane cut my friends arm, wrist, and finger so cleanly, that he heard motor noise that sounded weird, was walking back and felt something wetr-and then the stinging started. So be careful if you do this. |

Zetec S Interior 🚗
Posted 12 November 2013 - 07:43 PM
I've got a fantastic leather interior in my car and I'm wondering what would be some good interior mods to compliment it.
I'd love to replace the interior light bulb with a nice bright LED bulb.. Any ideas?
Any way I could put more LEDS anywhere?
How can I set up an AUX cable?
Any other general interior and maybe exterior ideas that are classy.
I'm not really that bothered about the performance aspect of things if I'm honest, however I wouldn't ignore any tips.
I realise this is a broad topic.. Sorry.
Love it if I got some help with these things!
Thanks man,

Hi Tom, welcome to the forums, and congrats on your purchase.
If you click on Lenny's profile in the link below, you can find a lot of good mods to get started with, including some interior mods.
Clive also made a really good guide on how to fit footwell lighting if your car doesn't already have it. (If it does, just pop bulbs in the sockets.)
Replacing the interior bulb with an LED is very easy, you just have to pull out the unit by prying it at the front with a flat screwdriver, more details here:

Handcuffs and Restraints |
Handcuffs and other physical restraints have been around for hundreds of years. The current modern day handcuff is a direct descendant of the original adjustable ratchet handcuffs invented in 1862. For nearly 150 years this design has been improved upon, but the baseline for modern handcuffs has remained true to this original design. |
The main difference in handcuffs is the locking style that they use. The most common and more secure locking mechanism is the double lock. The double lock allows you to lock the ratchets so that the handcuff will not move once its locked. In comparison the single lock only locks the handcuff ratchets shut, it does not prevent them from being moved. Our most popular handcuff is the double lock police handcuffs which are a great value. |
We carry restraints other than handcuffs, including leg irons and thumbcuffs which can be used when additional security is required. Leg Irons will restrict the speed of a prisoner and stop them from being able to kick. Thumb cuffs will reduce the range of motion and decrease manual dexterity of your suspect. |

This park is sure to satisfy anyone wanting to take advantage of the great outdoors.
Located in the downtown historic district, Pocket Park is a central gathering location that includes a wide variety of sitings, from an acoustic guitar player on a summer evening night to a Christmas caroler in the chill of winter. The unique downtown ambiance has a magnetic draw to all those who may just happen to pass by.
Watkins Park is one of the City's two neighborhood parks. Located just a few blocks from Main Street, Watkins Park features a picnic shelter, basketball goal, a small oval trail, and an area for horseshoes. The shelter cannot be reserved, but rather can be used on a first come first serve basis. The park is located just west of Main Street at the intersection of West and 10th Streets.
Adams Park is our mini-neighborhood park located just off Main Street at the intersection of 13th and Walnut Streets. The small park shelter with picnic area cannot be reserved, but rather may be used on a first come first serve basis.

Control Your Linux Desktop with D-Bus
Now that you know how to perform D-Bus calls and how to handle D-Bus signals, you can get started automating tasks on your desktop. If you are a Linux power user, D-Bus definitely should be in your vocabulary.
There is much more to D-Bus than I could show you in this article, but with qdbusviewer, qdbus, dbus-send and dbus-monitor, you can explore the possibilities yourself. If you want to create some more complex automation tasks with D-Bus, the Python and Ruby programming languages are a good fit. Consider the tutorials mentioned in the Resources, and then just let your imagination flow.
If you're a software developer, the part I didn't cover here is registering a service. This is the other side of the D-Bus story. If you register a service, you can provide objects to other applications via D-Bus.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

I REALLY love this fanart redesign version of the Wonder Woman costume by Lynne Yoshii, so much so I think I want to do it as a costume. How well is stuff like this accepted in the Cosplay community? You know with it not being canon at all or anything.
What do you think?
March 29 2011
This is a Public Service Announcement for everyone I know in or around the Chicago area as well as cosplayers who have ever had their photos on the internet. Please BOYCOTT (do not but from or patronize in any way) Alternate Reality-Comicbooks. 3149 West 111th Street - Chicago, Il, 60655 - 773.881.4376
It has come to my attention that not only does this "business" operate a "Win or Fail" Cosplay album on their Facebook page— which by its very nature encourages people to insult, demean, or otherwise disparage the cosplayers and costumes in it (verging on out and out cyberbulling)— but does so by reposting the cosplay photos without the permission of, or credit to, the original photographers OR the people who are in the photos.
When this fact was brought to their attention, by way of a couple of the cosplayers in the photos asking for the photos of them to be removed from this album, not only did this "business" not apologize and comply, but they defended themselves by suggesting that because they "found them on google" that meant that the photos were "essentially in the public domain." This response is as arrogant as it is incorrect and only adds to the outrageousness of this entire situation. As has been said elsewhere, "If you have a picture up of someone and they express concerns, the appropriate thing to do is take it down and apologize." this applies doubly so if you are operating as a business and not just a private individual!
This behavior is not only morally dubious and abhorrent, but it is also utterly unprofessional and I also feel the need to add that it's legally dubious as well. So please, if you live, work-in, or visit the Chicago area BOYCOTT Alternate Reality-Comicbooks. We as fans and consumers need to tell businesses that this type of behavior is not cute, it's not okay and it's NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Other things you can do:
1. Please check the album in question for photos that you have taken or that you are in, and report those photos to Facebook. Album can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1425586656
2. Please repost and/or reblog this in its entirety to get the word out to a wider audience.
3. MOST IMPORTANTLY WHATEVER ACTIONS YOU DECIDE TO TAKE PLEASE BE AS CIVIL AND WELL REASONED AS POSSIBLE. Going in half cocked and coming off like "crazy fans" will not be helpful.
Thank you.

Jitter with IOGEAR External VGA Video Card?
Jun 11, 2013 at 3:28am
Jitter with IOGEAR External VGA Video Card?Hi all Does anyone know or has experience that the "IOGEAR USB 2.0 External VGA Video Card Multi-Language Version" will work properly with Jitter? |
Jun 11, 2013 at 7:12am
Hello, this product uses DisplayLink technology to create a VGA output via USB (http://www.displaylink.com/shop/adapters). I've used Displaylink products succesfully with Max/Jitter and experienced no problems. The extra monitor is created for the system and Max can freely use screens that are available to this system. It simply acts as an extra display. In my case I do monitoring of a complex OpenGL scene using different jit.gl.camera objects and viewports. One monitor is on a small USB screen that uses the same Displaylink technology. Best |
Jun 11, 2013 at 7:55am
Hello Ok, thanks! Yes, i know about the DisplayLink technology but we are planning to buy a few of them, so we have to be sure. regards |

Look for arborist supply/tree care companies.
If you don't find it locally, I've ordered mine from Knot and Rope. Lower price than most and they ship fast. I placed an order yesterday and received it today (Ohio to Indiana). Don't get the Fling-It (can't be spliced easily). |

I hit up West Marine today, oh what a mess. First guy tells me they don't carry it and are not stocking Amsteel anymore. I find the last of a 1/8" roll on the floor, wait 20 minutes to see if I can get a deal only to find out they plan to keep carrying it (thus no deal). I already have 3 hammocks with 1/8" whoopies and didn't need any more.
I am just going to order online. I will limp by for this trip. |

Where else in America could you have two rallies espousing fundamentally differing viewpoints while ostensibly promoting the same concept (support for U.S. soldiers), staged simultaneously within 100 yards of each other -- a formula fraught with the potential for ugly confrontation -- and have the whole day come off without a hitch?
On March 1, Asheville lived up to its reputation as a city that incorporates (albeit sometimes uncomfortably) wildly varying lifestyles and opinions by peaceably accommodating said diversity. On that warm, sun-soaked Saturday, two groups of people collectively flexed some First Amendment muscle -- and, to the relief of many (and despite concern in both camps), nothing calamitous happened. At City/County Plaza, a red-white-and-blue-bedecked crowd waved flags and sang the praises of God and country at the Support our Soldiers rally. At the adjacent Vance Monument, an equally colorful crowd gathered for a peace rally whose organizers dubbed it Support our Soldiers: Bring Them Home!
And though opinions abound over exactly what these two events accomplished (besides preaching to their respective choirs), one could make the case that Asheville is, after all, a great place for a soldier to visit for a little R&R (despite opposing views about Bush administration policies, both rallies publicly affirmed a support for U.S. troops that bordered on adulation). What's more, despite the two groups' obvious differences, they somehow found a common ally. Organizers of both gatherings have praised the Asheville Police Department's crowd-control methods. Although city police and Buncombe County sheriff's deputies turned out in large numbers, they opted for a soft approach, eschewing riot gear and maintaining a comfortable distance from the two groups.
The success of this approach, and the lack of significant disruption in the two demonstrations, may raise questions about any attempt by Asheville Police Chief Will Annarino to follow through on his stated goal of implementing a more restrictive public-protest ordinance.
Annarino, however, told Xpress he still sees a need for a stronger ordinance "if we can do a better job of ensuring public safety, which is what it's all about." Arguing for an enhanced police role at the front end, he continued, "Time and place issues for protests are important; we need to be part of the planning process."
But why, when things appeared to go so well under the current law -- despite the potential for conflict? "I don't look at them as protests," said Annarino. "They were rallies promoting peace."
At the same time, the chief also handed out a few pats on the back, attributing the day's relative calm to "our community and the training of our officers, as well as who we're hiring. We're fortunate to have officers who are good at dealing with diverse populations and diverse political views -- and we've had a lot of practice."
To help capture the flavor of the day, Xpress had a number of reporters on hand at the two rallies. Here is some of what they saw:
• Three young women -- one of them shrouded in a blue burka and another hoisting a sign depicting a peace symbol, a U.S. flag and Arabic lettering -- stroll into the SOS rally. As the crowd parts, several police officers head their way. But a tall, skinny, bearded man wearing a mesh cowboy hat intercedes, sidling up to one of the women and speaking into her ear. The women then drop their signs and quietly file out. Later, the man (who jokingly identifies himself as "Sam Aritan") says he told the women that they were in the midst of a number of people who'd been trained to do harm, adding that if the women stayed, "They were likely to end up causing something they did not intend and they would regret."
The SOS rally, he says skeptically, is "basically calling for a proselytizing crusade."
• Vietnam veteran Kam Parker, addressing the peace rally, asks for a show of hands from the veterans in the crowd; a scattering of raised palms sparks a burst of applause. "The war against our Constitution rages on," declares Parker, adding, "I took an oath to defend that Constitution."
• At the SOS rally, Asheville resident Molly McGlamery-Hickens stands amid a sea of American flags, toting a sign that reads, "Army Brat for Peace." Attached is a photo of President Bush with duct tape over his mouth. Describing herself as a "child of the '60s," she notes, "I do support our soldiers, but I don't support the war." McGlamery-Hickens explains that her deceased father was a veteran of both World War II and the Vietnam War, and that she is attending the SOS rally to "honor his memory." When asked if anyone has hassled her about her sign, she responds, "They wouldn't dare." Then, laughing, she notes, "No, everyone's been very nice."
• In the middle of one of the many public prayers intoned at City/County Plaza, a woman starts hollering: "George Bush is a mass murderer! Jesus Christ would never fight this war!" As she's escorted from the rally by several Asheville Police officers, a tall man with a shock of white hair (who later dons a Vietnam vet cap) calls out, "How's it feel to be a slut?"
• While many veterans and families with sons and daughters on active duty attend the SOS rally, Nancy Mansfield of Burnsville makes a different choice. Toting a sign that reads "Military Mom Against the War," she opts to attend the peace rally, declaring, "I'm here to be seen." Earlier that morning, Mansfield tells Xpress, she'd added a purple heart to her poster after learning that her son had been injured in Afghanistan while riding in an armored personnel carrier that struck a land mine. "I don't see how you can support a soldier by sending him off to war," says Mansfield, noting that her son has escaped with a concussion and a damaged eardrum.
• SOS rally organizer Bill Fishburne, introducing fellow organizer Chad Nesbitt, comments on how much Nesbitt has done to help pull the event together. "He has done more work for this by a factor of 10 than I ever have," proclaims a beaming Fishburne, adding, "He is an inspiration to me, and I'm so proud of [him] I can just spit!"
• About an hour before the start of both rallies, a Beanstreets customer who doesn't plan to attend either one shrugs them off as equally useless, saying, "I just think they're a waste of time." The 48-year-old Candler resident, who identifies herself only as Andrea, says she believes it's this country's moral obligation to go to war with Iraq and depose Saddam Hussein. "Bush feels Saddam Hussein is a serious threat to this country, and nothing is going to change the way he thinks on that matter."
• After attending the SOS rally, local attorney Ed Krause heads over to the peace rally, which his son, a 22-year-old Western Carolina University student, is attending. "We disagree," says Krause en route, adding that that's not a problem. "After all, he's riding with me, and I'm paying the bills!"

Advantages: Don't have to use mouse and keyboard.
Disadvantages: Awkward to hold, little variety etc.
If you could hold awkwardness, it would be this controller. Mind you having a console like controller for your PC is great but it just feels weird in your hand, like a square Nintendo paddle or a Sega space-ship shaped paddle.
You just match the hole with the plug (teehee) and then you find a game that is compatible with said 'controller' and then you go to town.
Say you have a hankering to play a little Medal Of Honor, you dust of the case, open it up, pop in the disc and you will be playing like Play Station in no time. But then again, seeing as there are four buttons on the face, it makes it hard to decide if you press black or....black.
Says you want to play a little Diablo, you dig up the case (seeing as that game is unholy and ruined the lives of thousands of people with its revolutionary graphics and game play, and differnt cults and........) and then you insert plug A into slot A, simple and you play on. What is this paddle breaks? Don;t sweat it, take it back and get a new one, FREE-ish.
So what about this paddle, if you aren't busy playing Guitar Hero Aerosmith and really want to go old school and play some Clock Tower or Alone in the Dark for the PC, then buy this item, either your local electronic store or eBay/Amizon.
Summary: Take it or leave, won't help won't hurt.

SummaryKumamolisin, an extracellular proteinase derived from an acido/thermophilic Bacillus, belongs to the sedolisin family of endopeptidases characterized by a subtilisin-like fold and a Ser-Glu-Asp catalytic triad. In kumamolisin, the Asp82 carboxylate hydrogen bonds to Glu32-Trp129, which might act as a proton sink stabilizing the catalytic residues. The 1.2/1.3 Å crystal structures of the Glu32→Ala and Trp129→Ala mutants show that both mutations affect the active-site conformation, causing a 95% activity decrease. In addition, the 1.2 Å crystal structure of the Ser278→Ala mutant of pro-kumamolisin was determined. The prodomain exhibits a half-β sandwich core docking to the catalytic domain similarly as the equivalent subtilisin prodomains in their catalytic-domain complexes. This pro-kumamolisin structure displays, for the first time, the uncleaved linker segment running across the active site and connecting the prodomain with the properly folded catalytic domain. The structure strongly points to an initial intramolecular activation cleavage in subtilases, as presumed for pro-subtilisin and pro-furin.

SummaryBackground: The folding of the bacterial protease subtilisin BPN′ (SBT) is dependent on its 77-residue prosegment, which is then autocatalytically removed to give the mature enzyme. Mature subtilisin represents a class of proteins that lacks an efficient folding pathway. Refolding of mature SBT is extremely slow unless catalyzed by the independently expressed prosegment, leading to a bimolecular complex.Results We report the crystal structure at 2.0 å resolution of the prosegment–SBT complex and consider its implications for prosubtilisin BPN′ maturation and folding catalysis. The prosegment forms a compact domain that binds SBT through an extensive interface involving the enzyme's two parallel surface helices (residues 104–116 and 133–144), supplying negatively charged caps to the N termini of these helices. The prosegment C terminus binds in the enzyme active site in a product-like manner, with Tyr77 in the P1 binding pocket.Conclusion The structure of the complex supports a unimolecular mechanism for prosubtilisin cleavage, involving a 25 å rearrangement of the SBT N terminus in a late folding step. A mechanism of folding catalysis in which the two helices and their connecting β strand form a prosegment-stabilized folding nucleus is proposed. While this putative nucleus is stabilized by prosegment binding, the N-terminal and C-terminal subdomains of SBT could fold by propagation.

SummaryProprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has been shown to be involved in the regulation of extracellular levels of the low-density lipoprotien receptor (LDLR). Although PCSK9 is a subtilase, it has not been shown to degrade the LDLR, and its LDLR-lowering mechanism remains uncertain. Here we report the crystal structure of human PCSK9 at 2.3 Å resolution. PCSK9 has subtilisin-like pro- and catalytic domains, and the stable interaction between these domains prevents access to PCSK9's catalytic site. The C-terminal domain of PCSK9 has a novel protein fold and may mediate protein-protein interactions. The structure of PCSK9 provides insight into its biochemical characteristics and biological function.

Graphical Abstract
► The first 3D structure of an intracellular subtilisin protease ► Unique among the subtilisins because intracellular subtilisin is dimeric ► Novel regulation mechanism utilizing a "proline bulge" is revealed ► A mechanism for activation is proposed
- The intracellular subtilisin proteases (ISPs) are the only known members of the important and ubiquitous subtilisin family that function exclusively within the cell, constituting a major component of the degradome in many Gram-positive bacteria. The first ISP structure reported herein at a spacing of 1.56 Å reveals features unique among subtilisins that has enabled potential functional and physiological roles to be assigned to sequence elements exclusive to the ISPs. Unlike all other subtilisins, ISP from B. clausii is dimeric, with residues from the C terminus making a major contribution to the dimer interface by crossing over to contact the partner subunit. A short N-terminal extension binds back across the active site to provide a potential novel regulatory mechanism of intrinsic proteolytic activity: a proline residue conserved throughout the ISPs introduces a kink in the polypeptide backbone that lifts the target peptide bond out of reach of the catalytic residues.
