Re: Is this a hacking attempt?
Hi folks, I had the same issue with Iceweasel and flash-player, not gnash. I then switched to Chromium and un-install the adobe's flash (obsolete..), problem solved.

Apart from game sites, almost all betting websites have restrictions in terms of using the flash-player and not gnash. Regards, Pavlos *Pavlos K. Ponos* View Pavlos K.

Hi, Van: paul.is.w...@gmail.com [mailto:paul.is.w...@gmail.com] Namens Paul Wise Fortunately, this works, but there are sites where doesn't. Do you have any examples of sites that still need Flash? Obviously flash game sites still need it but surely almost all of the web has moved away from it at this point? VMware based their new vSphere management interface around flash. The idea was that companies without Windows machines no longer need a Windows PC just to use the VMware client. All they need now is a machine with flash. ;-) Bonno Bloksma

VMware based their new vSphere management interface around flash. The idea was that companies without Windows machines no longer need a Windows PC just to use the VMware client. All they need now is a machine with flash. ;-) Which has been subverted since vSphere 5.5, because Linux is no longer a supported platform for the vSphere Web Client. You can kind of limb along using Google Chrome, which has an included Flash 15 (Flash 11.5 or higher is needed for the vSphere Web Client whereas the last official Adobe release is 11.2) but then there are still features unavailable for Linux users, like beeing able to insert local CD/DVDs or images into the virtual DVD drive. Also the keyboard mapping for the virtual console is totally broken on Linux. If you configure your VM to use an English keyboard layout it kind of works, any other layout is unusable. For example you are not able to type the / while using a German keyboard layout. Any key using a modifier key like Alt or Shift (besides uppercase letters, which work) is broken. So in the end, you again need a Windows PC to use the vSphere Web Client if you need to use any feature besides VM powering on and off. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault.

I wouldn't hint this is sufficient to conclude in hacking. Flash is known well enough for eating a lot of memory at times. I would suggest either to try playing similar flash from trusted sources (good luck finding them though, maybe @adobe.com - One might also believe youtube.com is a trusted source ) and see if the plugin crashes on them too ; or maybe to raise limit progressively to see where it is accepted. I tried to raise limit some time ago, but I was unsuccessful. Do you know how to do it? As a side note, youtube supports HTML5, and if your browser had no flash support at all but HTML5 support, then you, your grsec kernel, and all kittens in the world could just be delighted and still have youtube content played fine. Fortunately, this works, but there are sites where doesn't. Cheers, Vincent -- http://markorandjelovic.hopto.org One should not be afraid of humans.
