Just this old saying... if you dun want to get hacked into, dun get connected to the WWW. But still, welcome to the digital world!

SSL, ISP, CA, HTTP.

Am I reading in the wrong forum??

Back to topic - Are the pictures screenshots from video or still shots from your camera?

be nice now............ the sarcasm is thick

If your neighbors have indeed claimed to have hacked your accounts, bring the case to the CID. It's illegal. No point griping and complaining here when you have a very obvious recourse.

I don't have Adobe Photoshop and my Windows XP Home Edition is a guest operating system running in a Linux host operating system.

You can always use GIMP. It is first and foremost an app developed for the Linux environment. It covers 70-80% of photoshop's capability.

ed9119,

I really hope my Fujifilm FinePix S1500 could produce picture quality as good as a DSLR but it can't. But can't blame it as well, most of the time, I am just using auto mode. After a few attempts on manual mode (ISO, shutter speed, and aperture could be adjusted), I gave up because it is too time consuming. I am still not that quick with manual mode.

Yes, you seriously cannot blame a prosumer for lousy pictures. I have produced a lot of great images from prosumer cameras and even consumer PnS cameras. And you do not need to use manual mode. A mode will be good.

Anyway, you asked for C&C so I will give you some. I will be blunt with you. Your shots are all snapshots at best. And they are pretty bad snapshots as well. No thought went into the shots. Some of the shots are so bad that you actually focused on the background, and the model is totally out of focus. When showing off pictures, you should pick the good ones and not upload everything in your memory card. If you do not put in the effort (you mentioned you are lazy...) to present your pictures properly to the audience/viewers, no viewer will bother to look at your pictures.

I am sorry. Your pictures are just too bad. I clicked randomly at 2 links, and looked at one or two pictures in those pages. Terrible terrible pictures. Sorry man. Just being honest and direct here.

I have an IEEE 802.11g wireless router but I have turned off the radio right from the start of operation and turned off SSID broadcast, and changed the default wireless network name, thus effectively and absolutely I don't use wireless connections at all with my desktop tower computer at all. I have read online security articles and I am aware that WEP is easy to crack within minutes and WPA/WPA2 is better and stronger but still crackable.

I am an IT professional but the ISP's network is probably too complicated and complex for me to understand. Only proficient network professionals and gurus at IDA can understand.

But I know that in managed switches, you can configure port mirroring for your CISCO switch and connect a protocol analyzer to that port to monitor all the network traffic going through all the ports in that switch, e.g. the open source Snort Network Intrustion Detection System. On a single desktop computer, I can use tcpdump to monitor the internet activities going through your onboard Gigabit LAN port. If anything is not encrypted, e.g. Secure Socket Layer, the data is seen in clear text and you could capture usernames and passwords.

I avoid wireless setups and use RJ45 LAN cables instead.

You do not need that much to hack.

All you need is a computer on the same network. Run the network card in promiscuous mode. Unwrap all the packets and you can sniff all traffic within the same network.

Of course you need some proficiency in computer engineering to do these things.

If you are so paranoid, you should only have one machine connected to internet for surfing. Put the rest of your machines in an isolated network.

Total No. of Photos Taken Throughout the Session: 635

So you posted all 635 up? Any selection done? Any post processing? Any choice photos? Or just load everything up?

My thoughts as what DD123 and ed9119 said. Anyway I went to the first Gallery; running sequential photo numbers from dscf2530 to dscf2554? I think you must be quite good to take all good photos without the need to delete from camera.

dscf2545 looks good. So is dscf2553. dscf2546 isn't too bad either. Something wrong with the frame in dscf2535?

***My neighbours claim to have passwords to all of my internet accounts, especially websites without SSL like Clubsnap. I think they have some one at the internet service provider who could implement protocol analyzer to steal my passwords for forums without SSL. Some unknown person just logged into my account here and deleted all my photo gallery links at sgvideoman.wordpress.com at 9:09 PM on 1st Aug 2010 Sunday in this exact post. I am now putting back the photo gallery links for the candleghost model shoot. It is useless for me to change my password in Clubsnap because it does not implement SSL.***

Our system records show that all the edits are made by you, and in an edit done at 11:09pm on 1st August, all the gallery links were deleted and replaced by the word "Di" - which looks very much like an editing error to replace or update text within the post resulting in loss of the original post content.

Doesn't sound like someone hacked into your account just to replace your gallery links thus we would appreciate that you refrain from such posts to put doubt into our system.

Dear Darren,

Thank you for your prompt reply to my report post and private message to candlelights. Does the ClubSNAP forums server keep IP addresses corresponding to the times the editings were made? Or only usernames and no IP addresses were logged? Without the corresponding IP addresses that were supposed to be logged, nothing could be done. I am interested in the time 9:09 PM when all my photo gallery links were changed/edited to "Di". An IP address for this time would be useful.

Dear Darren,

I may have been over-suspicious. It was not my intention to put doubt into your system if you read through all the posts. I mean, generally, websites and forums, should implement SSL to prevent logins and passwords from being transmitted across the big bad internet in clear plain text for anyone to see.

I apologize if you see it that way.

Thank you very much.

1. you mentioned: "Neighbours" more then one? Odd... neighbours.. and they, seem to have alot of free time trying to break your network
2. its nothing to do with wireless sniffing. time frame taken to decrypt any sniffed traffic you listed is not humanely possible for an individual(or in this case scenario, all your neighbours added together)
3. likely case scenario: you have a key logger trojan. Linux is a name which is rarely used by people who actually utilise it...
4. most probable case scenario: the whole story above is made up

I think that, even if you are in the IT line, you are not in web, e-business or e-commerce line.

SSL is only implemented when the data at stake can give a credible threat to someone's personal information that relates to personal security, confidential information, finances. Clubsnap being more of a forum to share about the hobby of photography which does not really warrant the use of SSL. I also hope you understand that enabling SSL will cause the server to take quite a hit in performance. Clubsnap is a free forum for most of the community. There are costs and overheads involved that draw on tight budgets. If you really think Clubsnap should implement SSL, you should work with the Mods and admins to contribute your resources (esp $$$) to make Clubsnap better and more secure. Talk is easy my friend.

I am a Linux system/server infrastructure engineer, not a network engineer, not a SAP engineer, not an Oracle engineer. Neither am I in the e-commerce line.

I have only tried osCommerce, the open source e-commerce application that runs on HTTP web platforms, on my linux desktop.

As I have said before, there is absolutely no need to spend any money at all if you want to implement SSL for your website or forum. Please read my previous postings.

Chill out Bros. Just a simple background before I go on. I own a data center Down Under serving a number of branded customers.

I understand where sgvideoman is coming from. However, to implement SSL for ClubSNAP is akin to putting a padlock for a toolbox. The data contained within is not info sensitive nor is it security critical. There is a performance hit and I don't suppose the community at large wants to see their friendly CS slows to a crawl. Like I said earlier, photos may be worth a lot to you is worth nothing to the next person.

Running applications on your desktop is different from running it on a server. You are the only person accessing it so there's no performance hit. Imagine 4000 surfers accessing simultaneously, would there be a performance hit? You probably would know the answer.

As you said there's no need to spend any money to implement SSL. Are you so sure about that? From what I know, there's an increase in cost. ClubSNAP may not own the server and if that is the case, the hosting provider would definitely charge a tidy sum for it.

Lets take stock of what you have. It is good effort to show to the community at large your photos. Move on and make this a community we will enjoy coming back to.

Cheers all.

Just a quick one, is this "Portraits and Poses" or "Feedback" ?

 

[daredevil123]

As I have said before, there is absolutely no need to spend any money at all if you want to implement SSL for your website or forum. Please read my previous postings.

Implementing SSL will cause a performance hit, and that hit is not small one. And to get back to that the same level of performance after that kind of hit, will require infrastructure/backend changes that will cost $$$. Please read my previous post to really understand what I am trying to say.

And I have shared my views on your portraits and poses. And since this is not a feedback section. I will no longer discuss web architecture with you. If you want to discuss this further, I will be glad to share with you my knowledge and experience in this area. Of course, my usual consulting rates apply.

But feedback on your portraits and poses, you get free.
