Re: [Ilugc] learning a new language
On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 6:43 AM, Kenneth Gonsalves law...@thenilgiris.com wrote: in order to improve my programming skills, I am contemplating learning a new language. Not a scripting language - something else. So far my research indicates either C or C++ - recommendations? Famous quote: Ironically, C programmers understand this much better than Lisp programmers. One of the ironies of the programming world is that using Lisp is vastly more productive than using pretty much any other programming language, but successful businesses based on Lisp are quite rare. The reason for this, I think, is that Lisp allows you to be so productive that a single person can get things done without having to work together with anyone else, and so Lisp programmers never develop the social skills needed to work effectively as a member of a team. A C programmer, by contrast, can't do anything useful except as a member of a team. So although programming in C hobbles you in some ways, it forces you to form groups whose net effectiveness is greater than the sum of their parts, and who collectively can stomp on all the individual Lisp programmers out there, even though one-on-one a Lisper can run rings around a C programmer. IMHO, every programmer must know C. It exposes the actual working of your program. Once you cross the basics, you will HAVE to understand how your program data and code gets organised in memory and stuff. Once you start trying to optimise for code size and performance, you will get to understand a lot more. Getting a systems perspective is VERY important.

Re: [ilugc] Encrypted password captured when listening on network
On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 4:01 AM, Ashish Verma ilu...@gmail.com wrote: I want to know if it is possible for someone to gain access to resources if they capture a person's encrypted password. It depends on the protocol. If its a very simple protocol where the initial authentication between the server and the client is only encrypted (the remaining traffic after authentication is sent on the clear) and no freshness (say a session key with an expiry time) is used then whatever you say is possible. But I doubt anybody uses such a protocol. For Eg: Gmail uses https once the authentication process starts. This is basically to ensure that if anyone is listening on the network he gets garbled text. So if a person is able to emulate the session and send the encrypted password with my user-id... will he gain access to my gmail account? Gmail uses full https. The entire traffic is encrypted and is session key based. So if someone does the relay attack (where the adversary stores the encrypted traffic and replays it later on) to authenticate himself, the session key would no longer be the same. So the server (here gmail) will not be able to decrypt your message. If the attacker does this during an active session (i.e. the session keys are still valid), he will be able to send this emulated/stored encrypted traffic and the server will validate it. But since the adversary does not know the session key, he will receive back encrypted garbage which only the client (with the correct session key) can decrypt. So again this is not very useful. And of course by the very nature of encryption (one way functions[1]) it is not possible/very hard to retrieve the key from an encrypted data. In short you are OK *in general*. But then one can do slightly sophisticated attacks. IMO security is always an illusion :) Hope this helps.

Though Kapil has replied to most of the above points, I think it would be useful to add my gyan or experience in administering the Ubuntu India LoCo server for over 2 years now. 1. We use Mediawiki there. And I must say it just works. Disabling Anonymous edit and adding a math captcha during registration reduced hella lot of spam attacks. And ofcourse if we integrate some spam filter also, it will be almost nill. Though I rarely remember seeing a spam bot attack after I added the match captcha. 2. We dont use cPanel (if thats what you are talking as Control Panel), and taking backups has been a breeze. Kapil already gave the mysql command too and it really helped when we moved from one server to another a year back. Every admin task is being done over ssh and we feel we have complete control. I also use cPanel for my own personal site and it isnt a easy thing as you have already mentioned about getting control etc. 3. I dont think we (ilugc) need fancy stuff like calendar, polls, etc etc. Just plain wiki with info. Since in wiki every registered user will have access, its upto the community to keep it updated. 9ofcourse with a few pages protected) 4.

Re: [Ilugc] Canonical Not Great Contributor
On Sun, Sep 28, 2008 at 3:59 AM, Swapnil Bhartiya [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here is the article of Greg Kroah-Hartman, maintainer of the USB and other subsystems in the Linux kernel mentioning Canonical contribution to be 100 patches viz a viz 230 by Mandriva and only 270 by Gentoo. Remember Ubuntu is quite young compared to Mandriva, Gentoo. http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/lpc_2008_keynote.html Doesn't this article itself simply put things straight. Ubuntu has been around for 4 years *only* now as compared to the oldies like Gentoo and Debian or for that matter RH. And already the upstream kernel contributions is increasing and am sure will soon catch up with the other distros. Also, one must understand lots of kernel devels work in Redhat and Novell. for. E.g Alan Cox was with RH and Greg himself works for Novell. So one can expect many commits from these folks. Also quite a lot of Ubuntu devels are also Debian Developers and there could me a few commits that is a part of the patch sent from Debian. I am not still sure about the numbers and quite surprised with the Gentoo figure. Well, I guess Canonical is on the right path. But one argument I agree completely is Canonical is being run by Mark Shuttleworth, but the better side of it is it has got a big community now and with its ever increasing User base, there is no necessity to fear the worse. And LP will be Open Source in a year from now with the Road map already in place. http://popey.com/Launchpad_to_go_Open_Source_by_next_OSCon To conclude, I think the views will change in a couple of years from now as Ubuntu matures (not that it is immature now) and they are a couple of years older than what they are today.

[Ilugc] Ubuntu Global Bug Jam Aug 8 -10 2008
Hi, You must have heard on the Ubuntu Global Bug Jam by now. If not read it here NOW - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GlobalBugJam It would be great if a few of the interested folks in Chennai can get together at some place with Internet connectivity and start squashing bugs jointly. Anybody game? If so please reply to this thread. We will get a venue (if you have a proposal/agree to host for the same, most welcome). Its not necessary that we end up being there all the three days, we can fix a convenient time and get together. In fact we have our LUG meet too this week IIRC. May be after the LUG meet we can head to some place and start squashing bugs. If nothing works out, I have wireless at my place and a big covered terrace where I can host a few people with Coffee and biscuuuts ;). Also there is a quick intro session tomorrow at #ubuntu-bugs @ irc.freenode.net from 2130 hrs IST for general questions about the Global Bug Jam. Be there!!! Lets squash bugs -- Aanjhan ___ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe password address in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
