The secret of Proxomitron?

ATTENTION: This movie is a very moving one and should be shared often. If you host it and want me to list you as a mirror, please email me (or Instant Message me at DSL Reports Screen Name Zhen-Xjell). I did not author this movie, at the end of it the author lists his email, I simply found the file.

GUEST BOOK

Please stay tuned, this website will evolve as I find the time to work on it. The old site with family pictures is now gone. I am seeking a new web presence. In the meantime, you can visit the guestbook.

TEAM HELIX

I founded Team Helix (found here: click me), whose purpose is to participate in both the Folding and Genome projects. These projects look for cures to such diseases as AIDS and Cancer via a distributed computing network client/server model. Our forum is found in the links section below.

PROGRAMMING

Under the new web layout with multiple pages, I'll dedicate this section to source code and programs done in C++ and Perl. Stay tuned.

PGP/GPG

Anything I release will be signed by me with both my GPG and PGP signatures, including an MD5 hash. My PGP User ID: 0x069F236A. My GPG User ID: 0x2781A264. Download my PGP Public key here, and GPG Public key here. If you check my files and find an invalid key, please do not use those files as they may have been altered. By my signing the files you know that they come directly from me and have not been modified in any way, so long as the signature is valid. To learn more about PGP or GPG, click here.

SECURITY/PRIVACY

Internet Explorer Content-Type and File Extension Vulnerability

Internet Explorer has a vulnerability where it will render pages as HTML even if the content-types and file extensions are not in HTML. I've put together a test bed of pages for you to see exactly what is going on. This issue has been known about for over two years, and has been mentioned in many articles and threads on the Internet. But what will Microsoft do to fix it? No other browsers are vulnerable.

Click here for the tests.

My Personal Rings of Security

• AdAware - Currently running the latest version and definitions, monitors for spyware.
• BigFix - Monitors systems for file updates.
• DCS TDS-3 - The premiere real-time most up-to-date anti-trojan suite.
• GPG - Used for validating files with my signing key.
• Grisoft AVG - Used for email scanning.
• Innoculate IT PE - No longer available to new users. I use it for real-time anti-virus scanning.
• Linksys - Four port NAT Router, provides Stealth status at the point of entry into my LAN. Currently running firmware 1.40.1, with one Zone Alarm Pro security authentication.
• PGP - Email/system file protection/encryption and file signing.
• Proxomitron Naoko 4.1 - Using my special default configuration for browser security/privacy.
• Script Sentry - Monitors the system for script exectution.
• WormGuard - Runs only when necessary, otherwise is not active. Monitors execution of worms/scripts.
• Zone Alarm Pro - Firewall: Inbound and Outbound IP packet monitoring with MailSafe. Version 2.6.232, works in conjunction with Linksys Firmware 1.40.1.

Clearly these are the choices I elected to "secure" my home setup. I have tested other sets of applications and found the bulleted items fit my definition of security/privacy more comfortably.

Cipher Text

A couple different coding schemes are available to choose from. All can be accessed via this page. Currently, none are my original work, but I felt the need to have such handy since I use them. One is a Base64 / RADIX64 coder, and another is a coding scheme by key value.

Distributed Computing Projects

I have been a member of many Internet Distributed Computing Projects. The following links will take you to my membership for each (followed by links to the Team Stats in brackets). All teams are from DSL Reports.
