    If anything skip the campari. Buy gin or whisky and mix with red vermouth, mix 3:1 or 2:1 doesn't matter, add an ice cube. Repeat until drunk.

    Red vermouth tastes very different to regular vermouth, a little bit can even be good on it's own.

    By default you are, yes, that's why you disable all uploading. And sure your IP can still be found out by whoever is hosting, but that's not the model used to prosecute people.

    Originally posted by Lanny I'm talking about a fairly reasonable level of fitness maintained over a span of a few months. I went through a phase where I decided I wanted to get fit, the goal was to be able to do a hundred consecutive pushups but I also did some cardio training in there too. I realize that's not professional athlete tier, I wasn't "ripped" but I call bullshit if you deny that represents "physically fit". And my primary memory of that experience is how much it sucked.

    Yeah, it feels cool to have visible musculature in some base vain way, the experience of progress towards some goal is rewarding, but then so are video games and cheese pizza. There are a lot of ways to elicit a reward response, in 2017 a good deal of them don't require long stretches of boredom and physical pain. People have different opinions of the enjoyability of an endorphin high relative to its cost as well, and based on the way people behave I daresay most of us think it's a pretty shitty way of experiencing satisfaction.

    I won't pretend your own experience and opinion is invalid. I do think if expectations are based around (((the media))) that you'd be setting yourself up for failure, because as you said it's entirely vain and the actors and other figure heads all use steroids (in one case there's a youtube celebrity that has some type of plastic injection). In my eyes fitness is about being able to do something without getting tired or injured. That includes things like stretching which feel really good. To take another perspective say you take 2 people, one in great shape, not a body builder but active in some sport at the least. And you take another inactive person. They both get hit by a car, jump from a medium height, etc. It's obvious who is going to have a better chance at survival and who will recover quicker.

    When you are a kid you take it for granted. Even something like sitting on the floor or slav squat (with heels touching the ground). Look at even normal weight middle aged people who will grunt and groan if they have to squat on the ground to pick something up. Old people will break their bones in the same situation. When you spend all your time stationary your joints will fuse together. It's why I advocate being fidgety as possible.

    Shit like this:

    Oh yeah and as to port scanning. Are you scanning localhost when you notice this? I was doing this with a program I wrote in C and noticed similar behavior. It would pick up 1 - 3 random high number ports sometimes that nmap never got. It's possible things are using localhost internally, maybe something will turn on for the localhost connection but not the actual ip... I don't really know, but this kind of thing is called port knocking.

    Originally posted by SBTlauien On my phone, it appears to me as if 'netstat' doesn't show nearly as much as the files in /proc/net.
    Perhaps if I have time I will parse both and see how they compare. They should really be the same, I wouldn't even be surprised if netstat read directly from the proc files.

    Being that 'netstat' is a program that is ran to see the open connections, couldn't it be overwritten with another program? And because the files in /proc/net are directly written to via the kernel, wouldn't that be a problem for malware(if someone checks the files)?

    Yes the netstat binary could be replaced easy. I don't think a kernel can become infected, but you could get a bad download which is infected (would this still be considered a rootkit?) or the current kernel replaced with an infected one. And that could be selective about what it writes to file.

    Linux Mint website/ftp was hacked once and the download was replaced with a bad one. So it could definitely happen.

    I always got a couple thousand dollars a week. Now that I'm older a small country to play with and me and my brother used to compete with who can extract the most resources before the local government collapses or stages a coup (or usually both lol). To bad he died of AIDS.

    Had a really big ass pimple the other day and was worried it would get infected or some shit. Seems like it went away completely.

    How does that shit happen to your nose and lip as well? I pick mine all the time and never get worse than a little pimple. Have you been eating teh ass?

    When I was a kid I didn't value being in shape then you lose it and realize that doing 50 pushups is hard. Anyway I don't really respect anyone that isn't capable of throwing around their own body weight. Also sitting all day is terrible for you, worse than smoking, so bad that no amount of exercise can compensate for sitting throughout an 8 hour work day (which is almost always more than 8 hours and accompanied by more sitting at home). If you do sit all day you should fidget as much as possible.

    Sounds like you just pulled a muscle and not the fucked for life kind of back pain. Do some type of stretching routine to stay limber so it doesn't happen again.

    Yoga is gay, do this instead. You are now one step closer to immortality.

    Originally posted by SBTlauien So what exactly is in proc/net/{tcp, tcp6, udp, udp6}? How is this different than running 'netstat' aside from the way it's presented?

    I think that's it, though I didn't carefully compare both side by side they seem to be the same. I also see listening connections in netstat which won't show up in /proc/net.

    Also, aren't most types of Linux rootkits designed to install a new 'netstat' that won't show it's own connections? Since the proc/net/{tcp, tcp6, udp, udp6} files are updated via the Kernal, wouldn't it be much more difficult for malware to edit/change the files?

    I've never heard that, I could believe it. But I think all those /proc files are written from the kernel for your own benefit, the system doesn't really require the file there (well other programs might), so I bet it would be feasible to have an open connection which doesn't advertise itself.

    Originally posted by SBTlauien Also, running 'netstat -an' I can see the open ports, but I can't see what program is running them.

    I was wrong about this, I saw the "Active UNIX doman sockets" and thought it was showing what processes were using the network, but it seems to be completely unrelated. The first part "Active Internet connections" is the relevant info, though again it doesn't show the process.

    Also, I don't think 'netstat' shows all opened ports. When I browse this site on my phone, it's technically opening ports for the communication, I don't think 'netstat' shows those. Running 'cat proc/net/tcp' will show those ports though.

    With the "-an" flag I see both my open ports and connections to websites and other servers (same as what I see in /proc/net/tcp).

    If you were always using root it's possible you had the entire project in your root users directory instead of the normal user. Check in "/root" for the files. I know I've done that before.

    That's odd, can you sanity check using nmap on a different computer to scan your phone. Also on my computer I'm able to run "nmap localhost" and it is able to see the privileged <1024 ports that are open even without root, although it may be doing some fancy tricks to pull that off.
    nmap -p0-65535 192.168.1.99

    Mine is showing the same 2 ports open, 40k and 50k, 1 out of the ~5 or so times it showed a high numbered enhancemented port. Ok now they are all showing closed...

    On your phone do this to show what is using the ports.
    netstat -an

    For example the following line shows I'm listening for on port 22 and it can be any address or interface on my machine (eth, wifi, localhost, etc.)

    tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

    Other established connections and whatnot will show up, but I think only LISTEN means it will show up as "open" in a port scan.

    Originally posted by SBTlauien Didn't I just post this link here? As far as the question goes, I'm new to C to know.

    Yes you did. It inspired me to get back to C network programming.

    Anyway I'm still wondering if this practice has a particular name. Also going to try modifying the code to copy the structs in after the fact, so copying them into the array/memory side by side as opposed to the current code which is placing an empty array where the structs are.

    I also modified it to optionally take a victim MAC address (will post one sec). The ARP protocol has a field for target IP address too, but it doesn't seem to be used by anything.
    For example:
    Sender MAC: Me
    Sender IP: Me
    Target MAC: 0xFF / broadcast
    Target IP: Victim

    And all computers on my network will update the arp table (because of the broadcast MAC) even though I thought they would ignore it given that they aren't the target IP.
