Black Ops Puppy could easily become a hit in China.

"The lesson from this year's Pwn2Own is pretty simple, suggested Charlie Miller, another of Wednesday's winners. "What you can see at Pwn2Own is that bugs are still in software, and exploit mitigations like DEP and ASLR don't work. Even as [defensive measures] improve, researchers still end up winning"

Just as this fascinating thread was moving toward solutions it seems to have died ... sure was lots of fun to read!

Was a new thread started somewhere?

Please tell me that my favorite show has not been canceled! Wink

This thread was created in response to those
terrified that their root running computers were
malware magnets and hacker (cracker) havens

and you won't have to use GROWL (I never do)

My primary interest is:

1. A small app optimized to seek out available public Wifi sites.

2. An app to defend my little Netbook Puppy when using public Wifi's.

3. An app for when a friend or neighbor needs help troubleshooting Wifi, especially for router security problems.

Is Growl a suotable answer?

Or ???

That's one way to fool the crackers....slip a puppy in unannounced with no fanfare..... Wink

Interesting, but I think we still need better Lan/Wifi setup wizard to take full advantage of its capabilities

Couldn't go wardriving easily eh? [not with my eyes, I can't see the white on black... Embarassed

The download site is here:

But the discussion and feedback seems to be here ... so ...

It looks good but I think lacks the correct driver or maybe has an old version of pwireless (which I have found to be a troublesome app).

I can see my router but pwireless insists that it wants a WEP code when it is WPA.

It creates the appearance of a connection but does not work.

I recall this as an old problem with the base distro of Puppy upon which you built it.

It brings back memories of wireless tail-chasing ...

dpup009 works really well on most of the pcs here, perhaps what it uses for wireless nics might be ported over?
