if you want to be a good whitehat, do you need to know pretty much everything about the most commonly used programming languages?

trying to fix a popup scripting error in the foobar ncmpcpp mod I get upon startup. In the readme it says:
//Script Error
Scripting Engine Initialization Failed (Playcount Sync by marc2003, CODE: 0x80020101)
Check the console for more information (Always caused by unexcepted script error).'
The above error can be fixed by going to 'Preferences>Tools>WSH Panel Mod'
and making sure that 'Debug mode' and 'Safe mode' are unchecked.
I unchecked safe mode but there's no option for debug mode and I keep getting the error. What do?

To be a good white had you need to be good at bash and C and at least be able to read assembly (to spot flaws in code), other then that learn a scripting language (as those are mostly used for on the fly payloads and what not.)

by the time you have built this lab, you will have the knowledge you need to be a decent pentester; add in a good knowledge of C and Assembly (processors in general really) and a few years of experience you'd make a good security advisor.

Can someone help? My Galaxy s4 recently died and I need a new phone. I've been looking at cheap options like Galaxy J3, LG G Flex 2, LG Stylo 2 (I have sprint), and I'm wondering if I'm going to be missing a lot going from a (dated)flagship phone to a cheaper phone.

why don't you create a thread then ?
Anyway, for $200 - 300 you won't have a lot of choice. Maybe the 380X. But you better save money and get a better one. Wait a few weeks / month to see if there is a drop in prices or if amd release something good for cheap.
I'm pretty sure my OS is fucked. A bunch of programs crash immediately when opened, and my GPU drivers have been crashing CONSTANTLY. Also, the other day, my GPU OC preset in afterburner had been adjusted to max everything out (That's +87mV and +1Ghz core clock! On a sub-par motherboard I should add). I have no idea how that happened.
Before I go and do a clean install of windows, is there any potential solution for this that I might have ignored? Windows 7, by the way.

>>54624725
>Given your situation,you dont really have an option.
Well like I said, I could get a replacement motherboard instead for $40 more than it would cost me to get the replacement RAM.
I was just asking because there's no need to spend the extra $40 if I won't notice any downsides in not using dual-channel.
>>54624769
You won't
>>54624788
Then, what's the point of dual-channel at all if it doesn't provide noticeable benefit?
>>54624828
You have more bandwith lanes for the controller to use. Having non synced ram limits the bandwidth you can use.
tl;dr you will only notice it if you're ocing everything in your system,and dont care for stabilityl,but rather to push the limits for epeen

I've had two crashes in the last 12 hours because ASUS Anti-Surge went off for no apparent reason. The PSU is only a few months old and I've never had this happen before but seeing as how the last two serious equipment failures I've had in the past 5 years were PSU's giving up the ghost I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with the house's socket
If there is something wrong outside my computer, what can I do about it?
>>54625091
Look into getting a UPS. Honestly, everyone should be using these.
>>54625091
Put a UPS between the socket and PC.
I'm having issues with my internet.
When I try to enter a thread on any board, this screen shows up sometimes, normally on threads that have a high reply count. Additionally, if I try to listen to something on say soundcloud and it exceeds a certain time limit, say around 5 minutes, other tabs will not do anything. If I try to click update it just hangs there forever or until I close the tab.
This doesn't happen all the time either. It's really fucky and random. Sometimes It'll be going nice but then the next day it's back to shit.
Is it an old router problem? Is it just Comcast being huge dicks? Is it my computer (macfag by the way)? Anyone have any advice or suggestions? Restarting doesn't do squat nor does turning off the internet and turning it back on.

>>54625140
Are you using wireless or wired connection? It could be a lot of different things causing the problem.
How do I close Xserver gracefully? If I do alt+print+k, after 3 times, it locks up the keyboard input, if I then do alt+print+r it works again, but after xstart and then stopping it a 4th time it won't recover at all, so I don't like that. I would have to restart every 3 to 4 times I do xstart.
What's a better way?

>>54625227
Maybe your wireless card might be taking a shit.
Does the problem persist on other wireless networks?
Is the problem resolved if you use a wired connection?
Because your other older devices seem to work with the wi-fi, the problem is most likely the mac.
>>54625254
Unless you want better specs on a laptop, you could probably save the laptop you are using now.
1. Replace hard drive with SSD.
2. Optionally, buy more RAM.
3. Reset Windows or refresh it.

Honestly you could probably just manually uninstall/delete all your stuff and they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
>>54625687
The fact that it's in a table means there's not really an easy way, no matter where you view the data the stuff you want is always going to have a bunch of formatting stuff stuck inbetween it. You might be able to code some kind of browser extension that could do it.

>>54625759
>is there a way to check what kind of power supply I have outside of bending over and looking at it/bios?
If it's anywhere, I'd guess it'd be in System Information under the Accessories folder, or in the device manager. But I doubt you'll see it there, you'll probably need to open up the computer.

How large? And you don't need to be able to max out everything. The higher resolution makes such a significant difference on larger screens (40"+) that you'd be surprised how good the game looks even on medium settings. Not to mention that current top tier cards can run 4k60 just not maxed out. The upcoming flagships and enthusiast cards will not have an issue perhaps sans some particular settings. Besides, with the higher resolution comes less need for anti aliasing. 2-4x msaa is plenty, if you absolutely must have it enabled. I've had a good experience with my seiki se39uy04 (they have a 50 and 65 inch version for it.) with the only drawback being limited to 4k 30hz. Run it at 1080 120hz primarily, and 1440 72hz for some games. For any wondering, no it is not usable as a standard monitor in 1440, because it's not running native anything (text hurts to look at). Does well for games and videos. That's it. They have newer models with 4k 60hz but they don't seem to be nearly as good. They do have high end monitors as well, but those will run you around 1k$+
>>54625086

Apply torque.
Instead of pulling on the cpu, hold it in place and twist the heatsink.

If the pins are pure gold, you should be able to bend them back, but you have to do it very slowly, or else they'll fall.

Sorry, CPU clocked at 2.1ghz (Zen Lite) and GPU clocked over 900mhz. In addition, double the compute units in the gpu, faster memory, and somewhere between 1500 and 2560 shaders which will put it in the R9 400 range.
Not sure what Zen lite is, one forum speculated it`s going to have reduced cache, or perhaps have SMT disabled. Also, apparently devs will be able to implement game patches allowing for use of the new hardware.
Either way, based on that article, it`s looking like AMD really has something going for them with zen and polaris. Pretty exciting times, hopefully it`s not all just hype.

I want to get him back by making a retractable clown that explodes foward when he opens the bathroom door scaring him, but that's not it. It will also have a taser attached(on low) that will also shock him for double shock value(or pepper spray, still debatin). It will all be on video as well.

ok guys so here's my only problem i have with linux since i only use it for development;
I hate the fact that the US keyboard layout (and i know there are alternative US layouts but all have some fucking bugs: like i have to type twice to get " ' " , " " ", " ~ ", on the screen , etc) when i want to type / it gives me < for some stupid reason.
So i know how to fix the problem temporarly with the command : xmodmap -e 'keycode 94=backslash bar'
My simple question is : how do i get this command on startup every session? I'm on fedora but i guess that's irrelevant.

What's the general consensus of a SSHD?

>>54629567
Does not have the capacity of a proper SSD, or the price of a proper HDD. With 500GB SSDs being in the $130 price range, SSHD serve no purpose.

You could have a crontab setup which executes that command every minute. I would say setup a rc.conf script but that won't work unless rc gets executed after x.

Hey dudes, just bought a used 6950 from a parts shop in my city. Dude said it furmarked just fine on his machine but whenever I try to furmark, or run a game, the temps just shoot up to a 100c instantly, the card throttles and fucks around.

I'm going to make a Mini-ITX built and use it as my main PC.
I am planning on a 6th gen i5, 16gb DDR4, and stock heatsink with a CX430M.
Video games used to be my everything, as I'm sure it was for most of you - that is no longer my priority now, however I don't want to use the integrated graphics because doesn't that take away from CPU performance?
I want this shit to be ultra fast, I won't be upgrading for many years.
I'm trying to find a graphics card that has only 512mb VRAM only to discover that it doesn't seem they make such a thing anymore.
If I don't really intend on playing games that much, and probably not even online, should I even bother getting a GPU and just stick with the integrated HD530?
Also would CX430M be able to handle all of this, or should I up it to a 500watt psu?
>tl;dr
Is CX430 enough to handle 16gb DDR4, i5 CPU, stock heatsink/cooler, SSD on a mini ITX Build?
Is current gen intel integrated graphics enough to get by on, or is it worth it to buy a video card even if I don't plan on gaming, but do not intend on upgrading again?

intel's iGPU is pretty good, but still nowhere near a dedicated card. if you want to keep the AA up on high resolutions, something like a 950 or r9 270 would be good

7900 Series supports 4k 60hz through display port only, here`s a DP to HDMI adapter.

It`s an active adapter, and likely will cause input lag, though. But hey, I was playing World of Warships in 4k with medium settings at 45fps with a 7950. Bastard can still chooch. Also, that 45fps was after enabling triple buffering. Only ran 30 prior because vsync and my tv only runs 4k@30hz
>>54629821
Literally just talked to a guy bitching about his 6970 running too hot, it was an MSI using a reference blower style cooler. That`s an old card though. Good odds you need new thermal compound.
>>54629724

Dudes. The fuck is this?
It's slightly sticky, not really puttyish. But it's also slightly dirty. And there's residue of what I think is thermal paste on the heat sink itself. The fuck is going on here?

WHY I PYCHARM SO FUCKING SLOW EVERYTIME I CLICK SOMETHING I HAVE TO WAIT 15 SECONDS FOR IT TO APPEAR?
Kind of new to Python. I'm creating a class that will receive a path as an argument:foo = MyClass("path/to/file.txt")
Then in the MyClass.__init__(), it attempts to open the file and read it in.
Now what's the best way to handle the errors that could occur if __init__ can't read the file, so that the main program knows that the object has not been successfully created? Do I throw an exception? In other languages, I think I would do this by having the constructor return a null object instead of the pointer to the object, then have the main program check to see if the object is null or not. But in Python, things don't seem to work that way.
Essentially I just want my main script to be aware that there was a problem reading in the file while creating the object instance.

Let's say I have a laptop with an HDD with win 8 on it, and an empty SSD, and I want to put 10 on the SSD and put it in the laptop, using the key from 8.
What would be the best way to procede?
-Update 8 to 10
-find the key with that Nirsoft program and write it somewhere
-put the ssd in the laptop
-clean install 10
-use key
or
-update 8 to 10
-shrink volume
-clone hdd to ssd
-swap disks
or
-make a media creation tool for 10 from the win 8
-put SSD in laptop
-clean install 10, and it should automathically activate
I've read contradictory stuff while looking so I'm not really sure if the last one, wich would be the faster, would work.

Make a Bootable 10 install disc or USB drive, update to 10 from 8.1, swap drives, clean install 10.

your opinion on LG, Motorola, Huawei ?
>>54630814
I think it's called a minimap, and pretty much every editor has it. Notepad++ for example.
windows 10 basic, Acer Nitro.
Whenever i leave and my computer turns off the display, when i turn it back on, everything is closed and re-loading itself like it just restarted.
So far, system troubleshooting and virus/malware scans find nothing.
I have found a setting to turn off the hard drive after x amount of inactivity. Should i turn it off?
