We wrote about The Dude Network Monitor previously in our post here. Now, MikroTik has released an updated beta version – 4beta2.?
“The Dude is a visual and easy to use network monitoring and management system designed to represent network structure in one or more cross linked graphical diagrams, allowing you to draw (includes automatic network discovery tool) and monitor your network however complicated it might be. The Dude is capable of monitoring particular services run on the network hosts, and alerting you about any changes in their status. It can read statistics from the devices monitored and show you graphs of the monitored values, allows you to test and connect to the devices easily, and provides some very basic RouterOS configuration tools.”
This is the official change log:
- Improved window state saving.
- Fixed bug causing “too many open files” problem on RouterOS dude server
- Added “Remove Resolved” button to outages
- Fixed images loading forever problem
- Fixed data sources sometimes did not get correct values from SNMP
- Fixed no gap in graph when service down for some time
- Fixed server crash when connection to agent lost
- Fixed unable to add more than one item in dialog box that should allow that
- More fixes

DotWar is an unusual strategy game of sorts where you use your Twitter avatar to battle other Tweeters. Your avatar breaks up into individual soldier pixels and wages war against the opposing pixel army … Lets attack !!!
There is also a single player stage mode, as well as battle and manual modes. Each color in the RGB spectrum represents a different type of soldier – cannon, heavy, gun, raid, ice, shield or utility. You can actually edit your avatar to change the make up of your pixel army.
You can play the game automatically, or turn on manual, which allows you to drag pixels and direct them during battle. You can get a new strong atvtar.
You will only require your browser so lets play …

Our original post about John the Ripper can be found here. Now, a newer version is out – version JtR 1.7.6!
“John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix, Windows, DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords. It supports several crypt(3) password hash types commonly found on Unix systems, as well as Windows LM hashes.”
This is the change log for JtR version 1.7.6:
- Generic crypt(3) support (enabled with “–format=crypt”) has been added for auditing password hash types supported by the system but not yet supported by John’s own optimized cryptographic routines (such as “SHA-crypt” and SunMD5).
- Optional parallelization of the above has been implemented by means of OpenMP along with glibc’s crypt_r(3) or Solaris’ MT-safe crypt(3C).
- Optional parallelization of John’s own optimized code for the OpenBSD-style Blowfish-based crypt(3) (bcrypt) hashes with OpenMP has been added.
- A more suitable version of 32-bit x86 assembly code for Blowfish is now chosen on Core i7 and similar CPUs (when they happen to run a 32-bit build of John).
- More optimal DES S-box expressions for PowerPC with AltiVec (making use of the conditional select operation) contributed by Dumplinger Boy (Dango-Chu) have been integrated.
- The bitslice DES C source code has been reworked to allow for the use of arbitrary SIMD intrinsics, which was previously only implemented for AltiVec as a special case.
- Support for SSE2 and MMX intrinsics with bitslice DES (as an alternative to the supplied assembly code) has been added (currently only enabled for SSE2 on x86-64 when compiling with GCC 4.4+).
- Support for mixed-type longer virtual vectors (such as SSE2+MMX,SSE2+ALU, AltiVec+ALU, and other combinations) with bitslice DES has been added (not enabled by default yet, primarily intended for easy benchmarks on future CPUs, with future compiler versions, with even more SIMD instruction sets, and with different DES S-box expressions that might be available in the future).
- The obsolete 32-bit SPARC assembly implementation of DES has been dropped.
- The loader will now detect password hashes specified on a line on their own, not only as part of n /etc/passwd or PWDUMP format file.
- When run in “–stdin” mode and reading candidate passwords from a terminal (to be typed by the user), John will no longer mess with the terminal settings.
- John will now restore terminal settings not only on normal termination or interrupt, but also when forcibly interrupted with two Ctrl-C keypresses.
- A new numeric variable has been added to the word mangling rules engine: “p” for position of the character last found with the “/” or “%” commands.
