Kilosno17:59
inetproKilos: it really is quite simple17:59

magespawni am sure you know more than me.17:59
Kilosdo you know how inetpro 17:59
Kilosi cant even get the bot to find the weather in pretoria18:00
magespawnhah. when i want the weather i go outside.18:01
Kiloslol18:01
* Kilos loved that little town18:01
magespawni just found out that you can leave messages for ppl with Maaz18:02
Kilosif i remember right its the 7th most healthy place in the world18:02
inetproKilos: all we need to organise is the permissions so Maaz will not complain at you when you talk to him18:02
Kilosyes you 'tell' him18:02
magespawnnot so sure about that now18:03
Kilosare there factories polluting the place now18:03
Kilosand used to rain most afternoons for few mins18:04
Kilosyes inetpro but there all the things to tell him to remember and make note of etc18:04
inetproMaaz: help meeting18:05

Maaz  (start | end) meeting [about <title>]18:05
Maaz  I am <True Name>18:05
Maaz  topic <topic>18:05
Maaz  (agreed | idea | accepted | rejected) <statement>18:05
Maaz  minutes so far18:05
Maaz  meeting title is <title>18:05
inetproKilos: it really is as simple as that ^^18:05
magespawnlots of ground pollution. litter and such. just needs a good waste program to be run properly.18:05
Kiloslol nee man there is more to it than that18:06
inetproKilos: nope18:06
inetproKilos: ok, what you are perhaps thinking of is the agenda18:06
inetprothe agenda is something which is on a separate page18:07
Kilosya all of that and where it is and all the links etc18:07
Kilosdis baie vir n platkop18:07
Kilossuperfly, help18:08
Kilostell them to stop18:08
inetproKilos: as the chair you simply follow the agenda and tell Maaz to change the topic as you go along18:08
Kiloslmga18:08
magespawnis there a way to run a gui as root, eg zenmap?18:08
Kilosyou chair next one and i will copy paste everything and see how far i get18:09

inetproBTW, good evening everyone :-)18:10
superflyhi inetpro18:10
Kiloshiya inetpro welcome to ubuntu-za18:10
magespawngood evening inetpro lol18:10
SquirmSymmetria: uptime18:10
Squirm 14:10:15 up 119 days,  3:52,  2 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.0618:10
Squirmim catching you :P18:10
magespawnis there a way to run a gui as root, eg zenmap?18:11
superflymagespawn: sudo startx18:11
Squirmcant you just sudo the ap ?18:11
Squirmsudo zenmap18:11
inetpromagespawn: what is zenmap?18:12
magespawngui for nmap18:12
SquirmI think sudo zenmap should work18:12
inetprohmm... why would anyone want a gui for nmap?18:12
superflymagespawn: oh, you already have Gnome/KDE and now you want to run an app as root in your existing desktop session?18:14
inetpromagespawn: just don't try running that in a corporate environment or you may just land up in trouble18:17
inetprohmm... he ran off already?18:17
Kiloslol18:18
magespawnback again like a boomarang or a cold18:19
Kiloshehe18:19
Kilos<inetpro> magespawn: just don't try running that in a corporate environment or you may just land up in trouble18:20
superfly<superfly> magespawn: oh, you already have Gnome/KDE and now you want to run an app as root in your existing desktop session?18:20
inetpromagespawn: wb18:21
magespawnyes18:21
superflymagespawn: which desktop are you using?18:21
magespawni also have aircrack on my N90018:21
magespawngnome on lucid18:22
superflygksudo zenmap18:22
magespawnthat just runs it in the terminal18:24
superflymagespawn: terminal, whatever18:25
superflytry running any gui app "in the terminal" and it pops up on your desktop18:25
superflygksu or gksudo (can't remember which one it is) is a GUI version of sudo18:26
inetprosuperfly: the package is gksu and the command is gksudo IIRC18:28
magespawnwhat i would like is click the menu item zenmap to have it give me the option to put in my sudo password instead of just telling me that it needs root to run properly18:28
magespawnif i sudo zenmap it also works18:29
inetpromagespawn: seriously, why would you want a gui for nmap?18:29
magespawnjust learning to use it the gui has the commands in it so i can learn them18:30
superflymagespawn: I don't get you... just create a menu entry! or is Gnome so retarded (which is not too difficult to believe) that they've made is so user friendly you can't even create or edit menu items?18:30
inetpromagespawn: you won't learn it that way18:30
superflymagespawn: though I agree with inetpro... if you are going to learn a sysadmin tool, you need to use the CLI version18:31
superflyGUI's don't teach you anything18:31
* nuvolari <3 cli18:31
inetpronmap is a powerful command and dangerous as well in the wrong hands18:31
inetproif you are serious about using it then you want to learn to use it properly and with proper authority18:32
magespawnokay there looked like a lot of options when i had look. where should i start?18:34
inetpromagespawn: man nmap18:35
superflymagespawn: also, one usually uses nmap with a particular task or goal in mind, so what do you want to use it for?18:35
inetpromagespawn: read the stuff on FIREWALL/IDS EVASION AND SPOOFING18:36
inetprocompanies are increasingly monitoring traffic with intrusion detection systems (IDS). All of the major IDSs ship with rules designed to detect Nmap scans because scans are sometimes a precursor to attacks.....18:37
magespawni was looking into setting my own server behind a router and forwarding port 80 to the server so i can access a website on it18:37
superflymagespawn: why?18:38
magespawnjust to learn how? if that is a valid reason18:39
magespawntell you what in the next couple of days i will put up a post on my blog for you guys to read detailing my ideas18:40
magespawni installed ubuntu server and was fascinated by the possibilities. 18:42
inetpromagespawn: just make sure you know the ect act before you go about scanning stuff outside of your own network18:42
superflymagespawn: I mean why do you want to host your website on your ADSL line? it'll be horribly slow18:42
magespawnthis is after much reading on the net.18:42
superflymagespawn: http://blog.saturnlaboratories.co.za/archive/2007/01/01/howto-ubuntu-home-lan-server18:42
magespawnthis site would be for me to practice on18:43
magespawnty18:43
magespawnnone of this would happen outside of my network.18:44
magespawni am not a criminal.18:44
magespawnat least not yet.18:44
Kiloslol18:44
superflymagespawn: first get your home network running with DHCP, DNS and routing all your HTTP traffic via squid18:45
magespawnwell being a criminal is sometimes a poinf of view18:46
magespawnhave the dhcp set up. still need to do some work on the dns and routing side.18:46
inetpromagespawn: hmm... I didn't mean to make you feel like a criminal :-)18:46
magespawnbut read the blog later on. then you can have a good laugh and tell me what i am doing wrong.18:47
magespawnnot at all. but i saw the potential for tools like nmap and aircrack-ng to be abused.18:48
inetpromagespawn: I just don't want anyone on #ubuntu-za to land up in jail for abusing the power in your hands18:50
magespawnif you know how the tools work then you are a little bit closer in guarding against attacks18:50
magespawni take that upon myself anyway18:51
magespawnbit like driving a car or owning a gun18:51
Kilosnight all of you. sleep tight18:55
Kilosbe good18:55
magespawnnight kilos18:55
magespawnsuperfly some would take  'home network' to mean the one at home.18:58
superflymagespawn: well, that's what I have... 2 PC's, 2 phones, and 2 servers18:59
superflyat home18:59
magespawnthis is the one at my internet cafe.18:59
superflyright18:59
magespawni am also starting in on web design and maybe at some point develolpment but who knows?19:02
magespawnpicked up a book about python. busy working my way through that.19:03
inetprobye mag[tab]19:28
magespawnback again19:29
inetpromagespawn: wb19:29
magespawnnow i am off to bed for real. night all.19:33
