DarkSide

Mirror-mirror on the net whose the smartest of the....

One side of the internet is considered as the “Dark Side”. The place for some of no rules, no honesty, no reliability, and just plain greed. This dark side is a side people prey on the unknowing or uninformed individuals using computers. A playground of take, deceive and conquer. It also can be a vicious chain of loop events. I, one day take something of somebody’s and before I can act out my evil doings, some one has scanned or performed port knocking on me. A technique or scheme looking for hidden opened ports or back doors on a computer’s cpu or network system. This type of invasion has become a popular challenge with computer darksiders. ” Basically, the "secret knock" would be a "password" of sorts which could allow unrestricted access to anyone who knew it.1 A more easier way for some identity thieves would be a technique known as “War Driving”. Here you are on your wireless home or business network. You get up to look out the window and you wonder why you see the same car parked outside across the street or lot with it’s occupant acting as if he/she is resting looking down or maybe looking as if they are listening to the radio. Now with a little imagination you might think they are monitoring people, casing out the joint, or just maybe they are intercepting your wireless network. And you thought you were the smart one. Yes, you have been driven on!! by War Driving. “Wardriving is driving around a city searching for the existence of Wireless LAN (802.11) Networks. It's locating and logging wireless access points while in motion or parked. Often, this task is automated using dedicated wardriving software and a GPS unit.
Wardriving was invented by Peter Shipley and is now commonly practiced by hobbyists, hackers and security analysts worldwide. 2 Just some tidbits of the “Dark Side “.
Well, I have to go! There is a car out in my driveway which has been there for a while. I think it’s my neighbors ex-spouse which by the way has taken everything they have, and done without the use of a computer. Go Figure?? :)

Vacuity Net

I have noticed while sitting idle in front of the computer screen, that the mouse has a tendency to travel to the outer URL's of the wired and wireless akasa. The come-back results are fascinating. What the mouse finds and your eyes ponder and brain deciphers is a smogasboard or melting space of snafu knowledge with results of everything, anything, and of course humans. With AI machines also to follow soon(if they are not already out there) producing artificial information for one as myself to ponder and just an ingling to find truth within. To see the subjects and visions of such and to believe or not believe. In days past and still mentioned by some, that to shake hands with and look into the eyes of a two legged being with aura seems to be one of the last realities left, of course excluding the plastic mouse in your hand. The Internet truely is a vacuity.
A universe of information which is nothing but brick and mortar libraries and digital paper. Are we going in circles? What was before the first internet page and what is after the last internet page? Where are we? Will we start in caves again lying down looking at the mouse go by or will we be sitting in front of plasma levitating the mouse pointer with our minds. What do you believe? Do you believe your reading this blog? Would you believe the feel and interior of a real book?
