AnyNowhere — daily chat log — back (to logs index)
01:50, Mary Lou> Welcoming a new member: "Animus".
02:38, Neuzd whispers: Hoppers are hopping, Felysia is green, I don't know if I'm sure what this poem does mean.
04:05, Kristos> If my field guid is correct, Vericalyan legless hoppers have an array of steam jets they use to acheive propulsion.
04:23, Cryoburner whispers: They are also only speculated to exist, due to the limitations of currently available Felisian exploration technology... :\
04:25, Cryoburner whispers: Once the Mark V equipment becomes available, their presence may be confirmed...
05:22, Kristos whispers: The Mark V equipment will only allow access to equal class existance... perhaps the critter is so crude as to only exist under the old, lower class of matter.
07:02, 4616599 whispers: Cats, felisians -and particularly Suricrasians and Vericalyans- included, don't know class!
07:37, Kristos whispers: What does that mean?
11:49, Cryoburner> Hey Neuzd, want to visit a particular site and let me know if it infects your computer with malware? :P
11:49, Neuzd> Mmmmh, maybe when I'm a bit more awake?
11:50, Cryoburner> But it could be so much fun!
11:50, Neuzd> Seriously, if it's someone with a mac you were looking for, I think I can.
11:51, Cryoburner> No, you would probably have to boot into Windows for that. :P
11:51, Cryoburner whispers: Also, I think it may have come from a site related to Noctis, though not your site.
11:52, Neuzd> Ouch! What is it about?
11:53, Cryoburner> It may not even be that site though... it's just an attempted infection appeared to occur while I was visiting the site.
11:55, Cryoburner> In any case, the site in question is the 'Systems Details Gallery', which I think you may have assisted with.
11:56, Cryoburner> You might be careful about visiting it, if that is the case. :P
11:57, Cryoburner> I'm just wondering if it may have been hacked or something, and had a malicious script installed.
11:57, Cryoburner whispers: I don't know if you have FTP access to it, or anything.
11:59, Neuzd> I had a quick check and saw a js, is that it?. Anyway I don't have the access, did you alert the right person?
11:59, Cryoburner> I've since blocked javascript and plugins for the site, but it seemed to be causing the browser to load something in Java prior to that.
12:00, Cryoburner> Not yet.
12:00, Cryoburner> I'm not sure that javascript is the culprit, as I think it might just be a stat tracker for the site, or something.
12:02, Cryoburner> I think the malware that it tries to install is the same as this... http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t326120.html
12:03, Neuzd> The javavscript is the only thing I can think of, by now. I need to see what the dev tools of Safari tell me
12:03, Cryoburner> Worth noting, someone else in that thread mentioned their site doing that as well, hosted at the same hosting provider.
12:04, Cryoburner whispers: The person's post was split to another thread near the end.
12:04, Neuzd> That's very kind of you by the way :)
12:05, Cryoburner> The malware isn't detected by most malware scanners either, which could be a problem.
12:06, Cryoburner> I tried uploading the two executables to virustotal, and only NOD32 and another detected them as anything.
12:07, Cryoburner whispers: Breakfast time! :P
12:08, Neuzd> It's the first time I have to deal with things like that. Be prepared to lend a hand later in the day.... :P
12:58, Neuzd> I don't get what the javascript is for, though. There are also 1x1 images which don't make that much sense....
12:58, Cryoburner> It might just be for ad tracking, or something...
13:00, Cryoburner> Oh, hey...
13:02, Cryoburner> Google seems to indicate it might be related to an unpacker, or something... http://www.google.com/search?q=http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-f2Rp-GH nsAESA.gif
13:02, Neuzd> The size o those 2 1x1 images is upsetting too. 35 and 49B
13:06, Cryoburner whispers: It might also just be due to T35 being popular among hackers due to being a free host with PHP access though...
13:12, Cryoburner> In any case, it would probably be best for him to reupload the site's contents and see if the page source is different.
13:13, Cryoburner whispers: And change his password, if it is.
13:21, Cryoburner> Oh noes! Alex is threatening towns along the Gulf coast!
13:30, Neuzd> Ehm...what is it about? The only thing I can think is that it's a name of a tornado.
13:34, Cryoburner whispers: Do you mean a hurricane? Tornadoes tend to be over with rather quickly. :P
13:36, Cryoburner whispers: For a $200,000 car, they could have tried to make it look prettier... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38007469/ns/technology_and_science-innovation/
13:37, Cryoburner whispers: At east it has lots of fins... I guess it's only something of a prototype at this stage, anyway.
13:37, Cryoburner whispers: At least, as well. :P
13:49, Neuzd> I want to see that featured in Top Gear! Hammond and Clarkson would fight to the death to drive one, but the only one with a flying license is May!
13:49, Cryoburner> That other flying car was cooler. Plus it was a convertible. -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylNwSv6c7m0
13:51, Neuzd> And it also makes me think of South Park!
13:51, Cryoburner whispers: Maybe they count mount machine guns on them, and fight to the death in a WWI-style dogfight. :P
13:51, Cryoburner whispers: count mount? :|
13:52, Neuzd> They will. <Hammond>It's an airplane, how can it *not* have guns?????
13:56, Cryoburner whispers: Actually, on closer inspection, the design of the two cars is quite similar... http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=uZU4S1G0JCk
13:58, Cryoburner> Hrm... fixed link... :| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZU4S1G0JCk
13:58, Cryoburner> They both have similar fin layouts, and propellers in the rear.
13:59, Cryoburner> They can also both tranform between flight and driving modes within 30 seconds or so.
14:00, Cryoburner whispers: Something tells me the Terrafugia model isn't magic though. :[
14:01, Neuzd> We seriously need anti-G.
14:07, Neuzd> And by the way, who cares about magic when we are the master of SCIENCE!? (SCIENCE! is always yelled, you know :P )
14:09, Cryoburner whispers: Or just negate the entire Earth's gravity. That will work too.
14:15, Neuzd> I think I'm going to trim my hair today. Or at least make an effort to *really* do it. but I'm scared it may get too short, it's very very messy :(
14:21, Neuzd> Alright! I called a friend who is a coiffeuse. I'll be all new in a couple of hours :)
14:25, Neuzd> Now tell me if that's not the right place to go. One with has a logo with an O similar to the Portal 'O'.
14:25, Neuzd> http://maps.google.it/?ie=UTF8&ll=45.060783,7.671086&spn=0,0.004131&t=h&z= 18&layer=c&cbll=45.060707,7.671028&panoid=YBmPUPz8BFMXVKKHPArUPg&cbp=12,31 5.05,,1,4.13
14:26, Neuzd whispers: 'One with has a logo' is not exactly English, I guess :P
14:59, Cryoburner whispers: And their name is Spazio! :O
15:03, Cryoburner whispers: Neuzd is getting a hair stily. :P
15:25, Trad.a> So I made dramatic lifestyle changes at the start of this year. I've actually left the house and lived.
15:25, Trad.a> Found new friends, a lot of fun new experiences. Amazing adventures. Oh gosh, some epic nights.
15:26, Trad.a> Moved out, looked towards the future. Buried the past and broke new ground this decade. Anyway.
15:26, Trad.a> So long internet and thanks for all the fun..
15:49, Buuks> So long Trad.a and thanks for all the fun.. We will see you back as Trad..a. ;)
18:24, Neuzd> Oh yeah, I'm back from the haircut. And I'm identical as before, great! :D
18:24, Neuzd> Also I bought myself this: http://www.animerobot.it/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22_140&products_id =9063
19:03, Jam> Cool! An alien!
19:08, Neuzd> Both the head and egg are translucent, very effective! :)
19:10, Jam> What? Trad.a is leaving? Aww...
19:14, Jam> Is there anything inside the head or egg?
19:20, Neuzd> Yep, you can remove the upper part of the head and see the skull. The egg instead has nothing inside because it's supposed to have the facehugger jumping out of it
19:25, Jam> facehugger?
19:29, Jam> sounds dangerous...
20:18, E_net4> Headcrab!
20:21, Jam> sounds tasty...
20:57, E_net4> They don't really taste like crab.
