kanzurewould you like to?19:09
genehackeryes19:09
genehackervery much so19:09
genehackerwhy?19:09
kanzurehttp://superkuh.stumbleupon.com/ has the link on the front page19:09
genehackerah yes superkuh19:10
kanzurehm?19:10
kanzuredid I introduce you to him or tell you about him yet?19:11
genehackeryou did19:11
genehackerI think I found his brain scan on youtube19:11
kanzureyep.19:12
genehackernow as you were saying 19:12
genehackeryou want to do some ECM?19:12
kanzurenot right now19:13
kanzureI just saw the link and thought you'd like to know19:13
genehackerok19:13
genehackerso I've been reading about the filter19:13
genehackerhow it works and all19:13
genehackerit works by something called the tubular pinch effect19:14
genehackerparticle flow in a pipe is interesting19:16
kanzurelinks please19:17
genehackerhttp://www.google.com/search?q=tubular+pinch+effect&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a19:17
kanzurewell, no, what about the link to where you learned about tubular pinch effects?19:18
genehackerhttp://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=7&url=http%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS0021967307009776&ei=qQ19Sdn4EJGYsAPFu-Uu&usg=AFQjCNFUx54o10D-9GOq0Ar8iAUUD4xOfg&sig2=iZtR70kjGo09forZffUo6g19:18
genehackerit's really annoying though, some of the papers that explain the tubular pinch effect aren't free19:19
kanzurearen't you on the UT network?19:19
genehackeryeah19:19
kanzureif you find one that isn't free, just tell me19:19
kanzureit turns out that I can only access some of the content that UT can, 19:20
kanzurebut if I ssh into the mechanical engineering dept computers,19:20
genehackerheh19:20
kanzureI can get papers that are otherwise restricted19:20
kanzurewhich is retarded and dumb. but whatever.19:20
genehackerhttp://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=38713019:20
kanzureneed it?19:20
genehackeryeah maybe19:20
genehackerI need the maths19:21
kanzurehuh, that's a highly relevant paper19:21
genehackerthat describe how the tubular pinch effect works19:21
genehackerso I can test this idea I have19:22

kanzurehttp://ezproxy.lib.utexas.edu/login?url=http://nature.com/ but you'd need a login/pass19:29
* nsh nods19:29
kanzuresome computers are infected by keyloggers, so that information is sometimes captured and sent along to the warez folks.19:30
nshi get the picture :-)19:30
nshthese warez forums you speak of...19:30
genehackerhttp://arxiv.org/abs/0811.163219:30
genehackernew paper is new19:30
genehackerheh, looks like we don't know how the tubular pinch effect works19:31
kanzuretime for some simulations.19:31
genehackerof?19:32
kanzureof the effect?19:32
kanzurensh: hm.19:32
genehackerthat's why I want the math19:33
kanzureyou should look for the experiments and then see what mathematical models they were using that 'almost worked'19:33
kanzureand then see how much they were off- it might have been by a delta, by an offset, etc..19:34
kanzurensh: http://heybryan.org/docs/ there's a txt file in here about that, warez_boards.txt maybe IIRC19:34
nshthanks19:34

nsh( Posted: 31 Oct 2008 06:13 )19:38
nshi would script that list to check for 404's19:38
nshweed them out19:38
kanzurewhati s it?19:38
nshactually, you could automate a spidering of warez boards...19:38
kanzureI'm not at my browser at the moment19:38
kanzureyeah19:38
kanzureyep, that's the idea19:38
nshoh, big list of above19:38
nsh*of the above19:38
kanzurehttp://heybryan.org/projects/autoscholar/ might also benefit from an abstraction layer like that19:39
nshwhat i'd do is run queries on random couplets from previous lists19:39
nshto bring up results with other people's lists19:39
nshthen add them to the heap and re-prune via 404 checking19:39
nshrinse lather repeat19:40
kanzureit's not quite as easy as 404, it's login invalid of course19:40
kanzureif HTTP 404 response was given that'd be awesome, but nobody ever keeps to the standard..19:40
nshsure, all the typical error codes19:40
nshright19:40
kanzurebah, if people respected error codes :(19:40
nshyou can also fingerprint the sites to some degree each run19:40
nshthen make a simple metric for fingerprint identity on subsequent runs19:40
kanzurewget cna do the login, btw.19:40
nshin case the domain gets turned into something crap19:40
nshaye19:41
kanzureezproxy is consistent across the sites, so it's not a big challenge or anything19:41
kanzureso they usually find out about an account being compromised, actually19:41
kanzurebut that's probably because the usage behavior is all weird and such19:41
kanzurebut19:41
kanzureif there's a way to hide this19:41
kanzureby properly load balancing each site19:41
nshhmm19:41
kanzurethen that might be worth investigating.19:42
nshnot sure what advantage you'd get over hit-and-run19:42
nshbut worth a look maybe19:42
kanzuremany people hit-and-run == bad19:42
nshtrue19:42
kanzurebecause then the account is locked down19:42
nshdepends on the frequency of new login captures19:42
nshi tell you what though...19:42
kanzureI've never been able to figure out the real source of the new logins19:42
nsha vulnerability in ezproxy would be the motherload19:42
kanzureit's always supplied by a few key individuals, but I also know that these people aren't running the botnets19:42
kanzurehm19:43
kanzurewhat server is it running on?19:43
nshwell, i meant the software in general on different institutions servers19:43
nshthough it's probably quite locked down19:43
kanzureyes, ezproxy is standardized19:43
kanzuresome supplier got the big check :)19:43

kanzure3I fail :(20:19
nshi though i'd offended you with viscosity :-)20:19
genehackerI still don't get it20:20
genehackerhow do I determine the renoyld's number of something20:20
genehackeror make sure that it is low20:20
kanzure3http://esciencenews.com/articles/2009/01/25/rewrite.textbooks.transcription.bidirectional20:20
kanzure3genehacker: you just need to make sure that (QD)/(vA) is low, where v = kinematic velocity (m^2/sec)20:21
kanzure3A = cross-sectional area20:21
kanzure3Q = volumetric flow rate (m^3/sec)20:21
kanzure3D = diameter (m)20:21
kanzure3uh, obviously, area = m^220:21
kanzure3oops20:22
kanzure3k = kinematic viscosity20:22
kanzure3erm20:22
kanzure3v = kinematic viscosity, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_viscosity 20:22
genehackerwhat's cross sectional area in this case?20:22
kanzure3dunno, what did you set it as in your model?20:22
kanzure3in the CAD model20:22
genehackerwhy is it different than diameter?20:23
kanzure3"generally include the fluid properties of density and viscosity, plus a velocity and a characteristic length or characteristic dimension. This dimension is a matter of convention - for example a radius or diameter are equally valid for spheres or circles, but one is chosen by convention. For flow in a pipe or a sphere moving in a fluid the diameter is generally used today. Other shapes (such as rectangular pipes or non-spherical objects) have an equivalent diameter defined. For fluids of variable density (e.g. compressible gases) or variable viscosity (non-Newtonian fluids) special rules apply. The velocity may also be a matter of convention in some circumstances, notably stirred vessels."20:24
kanzure3"by convention" wtf type of answer is that20:25
genehackerI'll figure it out later20:25
genehackerit's homework time20:25
