Whereas,
Breakbeats have been the missing link connecting the diaspora community to its drum woven past.
Whereas,
The quantides drum has allowed the whirling mathematicians to calculate the ever changing distance between rock, and stardom.
Whereas,
The velocity of spinning vinyl cross-faded spun backward and re-released at the same given moment of recorded history,
yet at a different moment in times continuum has allowed history to catch up with the present.
We do hereby declare reality unkempt by the changing standards of dialogue.
Statements, such as:
‘Keep it real’,
especially when punctuating or anticipating modes of ultra-violence, inflicted psychologically or physically,
or depicting an unchanging rule of events,
will henceforth be seen as retro-active and not representative of the individually determined IS.
Furthermore,
As determined by,
the collective consciousness of this state of being,
and the lessening distance between thought patterns and their cyclical manifestations,
the role of man as listening receptacles is to be increased by a number of no less than seventy percent of the current enlisted as vocal aggressors.
Everybody better realise,
now is the time to self actualise.
We have found evidence that- hip hop spun at eighty-five rpm will increase by a number of at least half the rate of its standard,
or decrease at three-quarters of its speed.
May be a determining factor in heightening consciousness.
Studies show that when a given moment is changed in the face of the unchanging,
The remaining contradictions will parallel the truth.
Equate rhyme with reason,
Sun with season.
Our cyclical relationship to phenomenon has encouraged scholars to erase the sentience of periods,
thus symptolising denial and the character of cause,
and effect.
Reject mediocrity,
Your current frequencies of understanding outweigh that which has been given to you to understand.
The current standard is the equivalent of an adolescent restricted to the diet of an infant-
Your rapidly changing body would acquire dysfunctional and de-formative symptoms,
and could not properly mature on a diet of apple sauce and crushed pears.
Like years,
Are interchangeable with years of living in darkness-
The role of darkness is not to be seen as,
Or equated with ignorance,
But with the unknown,
And the mysteries of-
The unseen.
Thus,

Those who burned,
Those still aflame,
And the countless unnamed,
We claim the present,
As the present,
As the hereafter.
We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun,
We are not afraid of the darkness,
We trust that evolution will guide us,
We are determining the future at this very moment,
We know that the heart is the philosophers stone,
And music is our alchemy.
We stand as the manifested equivalent of three buckets of water- and a handful of minerals,
Thus realising that those very buckets turned upside down,
Supply the percussive factor of forever.
If you must count to keep the beat,
Then count,
Find your mantra and awaken your subconscious,
Turns those circles counter-clockwise,
Use your psyche to decipher,
Coded language,
Man made laws,
Climb waterfalls and trees,
Commune with nature,
Snakes and bees,
Let your children name themselves,
And claim themselves,
At the new day,
The true day.
We are determined,
To be,
The channellers,
Of these changing frequencies into:
Songs, Paintings, Writings, Dance, Drama, Photography, Carpentry, Crafts, Love and love,
We enlist every instrument,
Acoustic,
Electronic,
Every so called gender,
Race,
Sexual Preference,
Every per-son,
As beings of sound,
To acknowledge their responsibility to uplift the consciousness of the entire world,
Any utterance unaimed,
Will be,
Disclaimed,
Will be,
Maimed.
Will be,
Slain.
Netstat is your friend...13:53 Feb 10 2007

Ok, Lets get this show on the road.
Assuming that every sensible person has a firewall and some form of virus scanning software, I'm not going to go on about which to choose as the best, since they essentially all do the same job.
But there are ways and means to get past security like that. Trojans, for one- You download a file, then open it without scanning it, or if the scanner doesn't pick it up, you could end up with a hole into your machine.
Its always a good idea to get to know your system, intimately...open her up, probe her inside and tweak her gently, to bring out the best experience for you...
*ahem*
Find out all about your machine. How much memory, what kind, what the spec of the mainboard, processor and other parts, like the graphics are. Know the software environment. What applications are installed- go into task manager and look at whats running in there, noting the number of running processes, so that if anything unusual pops up, you can identify it straight away.
But how can you tell if you are being hacked?
Well, a few signs, are when your internet activity light is flashing, but you have no web-pages or downloads running.
A better way, is to go to the start menu, select 'run' and type 'cmd'. This will bring up a usually black DOS box.
On newer systems, it isn't really dos, but a cut down shell, but symantics aside, there are some groovy uses for this little box.
The first, is 'netstat'.
This command is your best friend and worst enemy of a hacker.
In the dos box, type 'netstat -an' and hit enter.
This will bring up a list of lots of numbers. Good, as this identifies every open port and connection on your network card. And because it directly interrogates the TCP/IP interface, it cannot be easily masked by hackers and phreakers.
In the above picture, you can see the command as entered and some labels for the numbers.
The 'Proto' column, is the type of communication method that the 'ports' use. TCP is listed here, which means Transmission Control Protocol. It is the basic means of sending data from one machine to another over the internet.
Under the 'local address' column, which is your machine, there are a number of ports assigned in a 'listening' state. This means that they are open and awaiting a connection.
But along the same line, under the 'foreign address' column, is the entry for who is connected to your machine on that port.
As the port is listening, we would expect that to be blank.
Further down the list of connections, we can see entries for foreign addresses. These are the IP addresses of other machiens and the port on their end, which is open to you.
As you can see, they are listed as 'established', meaning that there is a direct path from one machine to the other, over which data can and probably is, being sent and received.
You can see there, that my IP is listed as 192.168.1.64. This is my private 'subnet address', not my 'public IP'. This is because I use a router to connect to the net, which assigns out its own range of IP addresses and matches them all to one single public one, provided by my ISP.
But the IP that you see listed under forgeign, is their Public address. Which is a very useful thing to have. Especially as you can see at least one open port of theirs. Of course, they could also do a netstat to bring up your IP details, but considering if they are hacking, they have your IP already.
But this will work for any connection. Any website, fileshare server, etc.
The important thing, is to look out for certain ports.
the most commonly exploited ones are:
Back Orifice - UDP port 31337 or 31338
Deep Throat - UDP port 2140 and 3150
NetBus - TCP port 12345 and 12346
Whack-a-mole - TCP port 12361 and 12362
NetBus 2 Pro - TCP port 20034
GirlFriend - TCP port 21544
Sockets de Troie - TCP port 5000, 5001 or 50505
Masters Paradise - TCP port 3129, 40421, 40422, 40423 and 40426
Devil - port 65000
Evil FTP - port 23456
GateCrasher - port 6969
Hackers Paradise - port 456
ICKiller - port 7789
ICQTrojan - port 4590
Phineas Phucker - port 2801
Remote Grab - port 7000
Remote Windows Shutdown - port 53001
If any of the above are open, you need to do some work. ake the machine offline immediately and until you block those ports and scan your machine.
In addition to this, port 23 can be used for a 'Telnet' connection.
The best way to disable this, is to go into start> Settings> control panel> administrative tools> services.
In this list, scroll down until you see telnet. Make sure that it is set to 'disabled'.
Ports 135-138 are used for 'Netbios'.
Stupidly, windows leaves these open as default, because we all live in 'one big happy family' or something. Who knows why, but to close them, go to start (or control panel)> network connections and right-click on your active network connection.
Select properties and in the next box, highlight the 'Internet protocol TCP/IP' item and click on properties again.
In the bottom right of this next box, click 'advanced'. Choose the 'WINS' tab across the top.
In the NetBIOS settings, change the option to 'disable netbios over tcp/ip'. this will prevent critical info about your machine from being sent over the internet, such as workgroup, hostname, shared folder names, etc, etc...
On one last point, in the services list, it is also a good idea to stop and disabled the following, unless you have a specific use for them;
- Print spooler
- Remote Desktop
- Remote registry
- Secondary logon
- Terminal Services
Next up, is how to configure local Group Policy.
