| Longtime user HELLRIDER killed in car accident.. |
A long time user and friend HellRider was killed in a car accident recently.
more details here.
It's a great loss to all who knew him.
| Open Source Content Management system: A new project out of beta. |
An enterprise level content management system is in beta and freely
available on the bernztech cvs for internal users. It's called "HYPE" and is
the main part of the Hyperpoo site
that will be launching soon. It allows users to post articles, data and just
about anything and maintains archives and the like. It's similar to
Slashcode in it's abilities, but it's written in VERY Object Oriented Java
so that it's more scalable and not dependant on the presentation layer.
Bernztech users should use :pserver:username@alpha.bernztech.org:/cvs and
module 'hype' to see the engine.
There will be a SourceForge page
posted soon.
| BernzTECH kicks selfish users off -May 1, 2000 |
Well, it finally happened. I told the users quite a bit that no
remote hacking and exploit scanning is allowed unless you ask me. A few
users decided to scan for exploits and even try them from this box. To
prevent this from ever happening again, I decided to kill almost every
account. My generosity is not to be taken for granted and the simple fact is
that I and only I am completely responsible for these machines. The users
wouldn't get in trouble for anything, I would. I had been warned by my ISP
and to prevent any further bad news from them, I've made this decision. To
see if I might restore your account, email me. Until then, go away.
| BernzTECH.org is
restored -January 13, 2000 |
Alpha.bernztech.org's harddrive failed
massively last night. Since we have no tape backup (hey, it IS a freenet and I have to pay
for it) we lost most of that machine. Join up again or drop us an Email to get that
account back.
The good news is it gave me an unhindered opportunity to upgrade everything and go
through the system with a fine tooth comb. Kernel 2.2.13-0.9 is cooking fine on that
machine.
| BernzTECH.net is now
BernzTECH.org - October 29, 1999 |
Bernz has began phasing out of the use of bernztech.net. It will be called
bernztech.org. www.bernztech.net will still work just fine though, at least for a long
time. But all bernztech.net addresses should be bernztech.org now.
| BSD Box Reinvented - September 21, 1999 |
Bernz has reinvented the BSD box. bsd.bernztech.org is open for all
users who want an account. This box has become his primary workstation at home, and thus
it's running X (KDE to be exact) but you can have an account if you wish. Just mail a
username/pw to bernz@alpha.bernztech.org.
| New Site Design - July 15, 1999 |
TechKnow Industries™ redesigned
the site over the past few days, and it has now been posted here at BernzTECH.
We hope you enjoy the new look, and find the site easy to navigate.
| Update - January 12, 1998 |
Although we've been hacked several times, we've learned A LOT about protecting and
compromising system security.
| Success! - November 11, 1997 |
Our first publishable success! Our own little user, Icon, has played around with some
"problems" that the Pentium chip seems to have. He seems to have uncovered some
troubles that could inadvertedly or advertadly be used as a DOS attack. We will find a
solution before we release all of the findings. |
