  • Solaris 10 and sun4m architecture

    I was just about to download Solaris 10 for my little/old Sparcstation 5…. Sun dropped support for the sun4m architecture on Solaris 10 🙁 From the Solaris 10 Release Notes: [url]http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0552/6mgbi4fh8?a=view[/url] [quote]The following servers that are based on the sun4m architecture are no longer supported in this Solaris release.

  • ethereal and securemote

    Today i updated my securemote/secureclient to version R56 Build 619. After the upgrade my ethereal stopped working. The problem was with the winpcap driver. It didn’t return me any interface for capture. Upgrading the winpcap from version 3.0 to version 3.01a solved my problem.

  • LAND attack

    Do you remember those funny days 8 years ago, where you could crash your win95 colleague pc with a nice Blue screen of Death ? Microsoft hasn’t forgotten you.
