$200 million a year really isn't that bad. Consider something like the F/A-22 which has a price tag in the $200 million range per plane.

Think of this in the same way that http:// is a link but as bot:// instead. The bot still has to handle to protocol so its infact more coding if you want to do something like have a way for it to fetch a new version byte from BNLS. Having this isn't going to magically make your bot be able to do more with less code. Further more it is exploitable all around, someone can post a link to bot://adduser-zorm-N or however you want to do it and in the event someone with a bot that supports this protocol clicks on it I'll get added with N access.

If you ever decide to pursue this you should get in contact with me. I've got it part way started although its in C++. Currently using a dll made by someone else to read the MPQ files although it should hopefully be a simple modification to make StormLib(http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html) work with what I need, however it seems to lack an actual license for use.
Got to the actual patching part and ran away in fear because its scary =/.

You could do remote managing that way.
You could do so many cool things with a web interface. Its just a shame exposing your computer to the internet is scary :p

General Security Information / Re: Going beyond Kernel rootkits...
« on: January 29, 2006, 11:11:18 pm »It would be difficult, no question there. They aren't calling it a "frontier" because it's a simple problem, because it's not.
And actually, with (normal) e2, you can write 0's, you just can't write 1's. So maybe, just maybe, it would be possible to encode a virus in the pre-existing data. Who knows? But IF it was possible, it would be difficult but very rewarding.
The BIOS has been around forever, I suspect that if it was actually possible to do something evil with it, it would have been done by now. Consider bootsector viruses for example.
Also, how rewarding would something like this actually be? I'd imagine detecting OS, finding network drivers/apis to take advantage of them would be extremely difficult and not worth the effort.

Its actually returning different results for most everything. Try "grass" for example in the image search. I also fail to see anything even remotely funny about it.

« on: January 29, 2006, 08:28:52 pm »You could control a bot through a web interface, from the looks of his example.
That would be neat. Being able to modify your bot from a web interface. It reminds me of JavaOp's web interface, though instead of being for chat, it could be like an options menu.
Thats somewhat of the idea, however you can only control the bot on your local computer.

General Security Information / Re: Going beyond Kernel rootkits...
« on: January 29, 2006, 07:56:15 pm »Hmm, if BIOS is stored on E2 then yeah, it would have to erase every time you changed a setting. But you only have to erase E2 in sectors, not the whole thing. Without knowing more about how it works, I have no idea if changing a setting would make a difference.
But yeah, flashing it would definitely work.
By the same token you'd have to flash the BIOS to get the "rootkit" in there anyhow? Otherwise every virus would take advantage of this. I'm lead to believe that site sucks and those people have absolutely no clue what they are talking about.

Seems crappy. Most people run multiple bots so the protocol will have to be able to specificy. This also opens up the possibility of people adding links/whatever to pages to add themselves to peoples bots.

General Discussion / Re: WINE can beat XP!
« on: January 21, 2006, 07:39:34 pm »
Interesting but how an you actually benchmark something like this? WINE is unfinished so it goes without saying that calling a stub will be faster than calling a real function. Furthermore WINE may cheat at somethings for the speed vs functionality.
