As for myself, he attempted (several times) to determine my actual meatspace and publish a google streetmap view of what he thought was my house. He did this because I said no to his request to hack a couple of web forums he was previously banned from. He wanted access to the user records, and, I refused to do that for him. I was willing to assist him with any malware he felt existed on the forums, but, I required a url pointing to a sample for analysis. He was unable to provide any such urls. I consider that to be a valid and 'realistic' threat towards my family, but, you may feel differently. Things are what they are. If you don't like my attitude, you'll just have to deal with it.

Well, actually, it can be, if the tool is vulnerable. Unless we're talking about clicking on an executable you find inside the zip, or, any other file that can support executable code/script/macro in one way shape or form. A pdf, a .doc, xls file, etc. The trick is, not clicking on an exe/pdf, etc, that might be inside. Why would you zip a PDF ? I .zip all kinds of things. .Rar stuff too. In this case, it's a straight txt file, with the appropriate extension, so Windows won't be fooled into 'executing' it for you. It takes more than a few words from somneone I don't know to convince me of that. You do know you can view the filename contents of the .zip file with your archiving tool, without unzipping it, right? Your archiving tool may even include it's own internal viewer, which would have no trouble opening a plain ascii text file; which is what's inside the ..zip file. You seem concerned about the .zip file, but let me ask you something. Do you click on the links that point to pictures being shared here often? Did you know a properly malformed .jpg file if viewed a vulnerable viewer (or browser) can cause malicious executable code to run on your machine simply by you 'viewing' the picture? Do you click on the dropbox links? Do you blindly trust the scripts it loads just to show you a picture? They do more than that, but for the sake of my question, do you just trust them and click? The .zip file itself is created with PKZIP v2.0.4g as well; it has no 'exploit' options to dupe whatever archiving tool you use. I'd have no idea who or what was used to create the zip. That's alright. That's what file header data is for. As this particular .zip file was created with the original software, it does contain identification data inside the header. PKWARE (Creator of PKZIP) is, btw, the originator of the .zip file format. The original owner of the company and PKZIP/PKUNZIP, etcs, author has since passed away. PK stands for Phil Katz, the originator of the .zip file format. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKZIP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_%28file_format%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Katz https://community.spiceworks.com/top...ndard-was-born And, one can always check the domain the .zip is hosted on, if they're concerned about it's possible contents. Or the trust issue. It's the first step to take yes. With you so far. but if it were http://bug-hunter.it-mate.com/bdemail1.zip Did I post any such url? Nope. You'll have to scroll down a little bit, but, they'll back me on the domain I provided you: http://www.completelyfreesoftware.com/du1_w31.html And you can read the review they wrote for the program, if you'd like. In the event the five doves isn't a big enough clue. :) The program and the domain it's on is legitimate, as am I. The .zip file is being hosted on my programs domain, and, I wouldn't risk the domain OR tarnishing my reputation by hosting ANYTHING malicious on it. would this site be as trusted ? There's no https which is what I'd look for . Why would I bother with HTTPS for a site that has no interaction with the user, and, isn't free to implement? What possible advantage would it give me? And, by interaction, there's nothing for you to login to, no place to leave a comment, nothing. It's very simple and straight forward, old school html, without a single script. A 486 could render it with ease, on Windows 3.x using netscape. I have nothing that requires a secure, encrypted session with you on that site... For more on the https or not to https, see he https://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/0...site-Use-HTTPS Unless you don't trust that site, either. I'm an expert malware researcher, BugHunter is my program, and that's BugHunters domain. It would take a second to remove the .zip from the url and load the url without it and check that for yourself. Easy. why would I bother ? Don't know. You seem concerned with the .zip file doing you harm. Further, I'm also a former employee of Malwarebytes Corporation; employed as, an expert malware researcher. Perhaps you've heard of it? No. You've never heard of Malwarebytes Antimalware? Have you been living under a rock, or, are you not a Windows user? So, you see, I'd have nothing to gain by planting malware of any kind on your machine or anyone elses, but, a whole lot to lose by doing so. it's your word and I don't know who you are. I told you who I am. As well as what's on the site I previously provided a link to. The .zip file contains a single, ASCII TEXT file. Do you think by opening the unzipped file in NOTEPAD, Any harm would come to your system? using PKUNZIP -vn bdemail1.zip: PKUNZIP (R) FAST!

As I told you. It's zipped because, well, it doesn't make sense to send a half meg file to everyone who wants a copy, when I could send a smaller file instead. Why waste bandwidth and resources of my domains provider? And, Some of Davids replies contain HTML code because he insisted upon sending plain text AND html of the same; and I made no edits of ANY kind. My email client, Pegasus ignores html and shows me plaintext only, but the 'raw' contents are still there. A modern browser probably wouldn't try to render any of it, if I provided the file raw on the site, instead of being .zipped instead, but, why chance it? Notepad certainly won't render any html. I was simply giving you and others a friendly heads up concerning David Brooks. I have no more reason to belive he is a nasty person than you are. I *was* a nasty person, at one point. Many years ago. I've since 'changed my evil ways' and used my skills for productive things, that of a malware researcher instead of developer. Not that I only developed malware, mind you, I did write other stuff too: http://bughunter.it-mate.co.uk/core/ If you have something to say say it don;t hid it behind a zip. Alright then. David Brooks is a stalker (amongst other things) and contacted me via email under false pretenses, asking about my program, but, attempting to groom me to do some shady hacking for his sole benefit, against two! web forums he was previously banned from. The .zip is the complete and unedited email correspondence, in order, between David Brooks and myself, proving that what I've written above is true! Copied directly from my Pegasus email client, no less. How about proving what you say is correct rather than just offer a zip file without saying what's in it. I told you what's inside of it. A plain ASCII TEXT FILE. You can open it in notepad. Notepad isn't going to run any macros, or other 'code' of any kind. IE: I can't very well slip you a mickey if you use notepad. Is this what malware security 'experts do' tell people that if you don't want malware download this zip to find out how not to get a virus.... Your logic needs some work...If any actual malware expert, such as myself, provided you a .zip file containing detailed instructions (and likely additional files to remove the malware from your machine for you), there'd be a logical reason for doing so. (as outlined above). -- I would like to apologize for not having offended you yet. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. |

You can have sweet dogs and nasty ones of any breed. A lot depends on their training and socialization. Having said that, some breeds such as Akitas, can be very protective. My younger daughter was walking her neighbor's Akita, and went for a coffee in an outside cafe. Some guy started to bother her. the Akita sensed a problem, stood up and just stared at a point in the sidewalk. The dog made it clear that his eyes were focused on a line, and that he would protect if anyone crossed the line. Even the drunk realized it. a few minutes later someone called the cops, and they quickly took the drunk away. when the cop came over to my daughter to ask if she was OK, the Akita just sat down and went into friendly mode. -- PeterN |

How would you know if it was when you downloaded it? The vulnerability reports tend to come after the fact. And, you do use a browser, right? :) Do you click on the dropbox links? If they lok valid and I'm on a Mac computer yes. You think the Mac is immune? Do you blindly trust the scripts it loads just to show you a picture? They do more than that, but for the sake of my question, do you just trust them and click? If the link is from dropbox and the URL looks OK and IO donlt think there;s any reason to distust the poster of that link then yes. The poster of the link isn't the one who creates the scripts dropbox uses, so what does trusting the poster have to do with my question? That's alright. That's what file header data is for. As this particular .zip file was created with the original software, that doesn;t make it safe anyone can zip a virus. True. However, the virus isn't magically going to 'get you' just by unzipping the file containing it. Another step is required for that to happen. First, you'd have to unzip the .zip file, second, you'd have to be stupid enough to double click the unknown file that came out of the ..zip file, rather than load it into something that won't execute code, but show you the raw contents instead. A hex editor, or, a text and only text based viewer/editor. Do I care, Nope. :) I got that impression awhile ago. Why would I bother with HTTPS for a site that has no interaction with the user, and, isn't free to implement? What possible advantage would it give me? It indicates it;s secure so peole like me are more willing to trust it. ROFL! It indicates NOTHING of the sort. http://www.helpwithpcs.com/jargon/http.htm What is HTTPS? HTTPS is a secure adaptation of HTTP which you will find in common use on secure areas when visiting websites. Note: You should always ensure you are using a HTTPS connection when providing sensitive information to a website. As I told you, previously, there are no secure areas on the bughunter site. It doesn't host a forum, it offers you, the visitor, NO INTERACTION. No scripts, no pictures (Unless you want to click the link pointing to the jpeg of my deceased red long hair persian) It's a plain jane html site with some direct links via urls that you can click on if you want. Nothing more, nothing less. And, by interaction, there's nothing for you to login to, no place to leave a comment, nothing. It's very simple and straight forward, old school html, without a single script. A 486 could render it with ease, on Windows 3.x using netscape. The sort of thing that the recent mal/rasmonware have infected so an excellent reason for not going there. You don't make any sense. There's absolutely no interactive aspect to the site. There's nothing it's going to 'run' inside your browser. And nothing for the 'malware' to exploit, either. No forum code, no vulnerable javascript, java, ajax, etc. Nothing. If you'd like to discuss the finer points of Malware sometime, I'll be happy to teach you all about it. You could probably use the knowledge. As presently, you're spreading FUD. You're probably okay with that, but, it is annoying for those of us who know better. Ignorance such as that which you display contributes to the malware problem. As long as people such as yourself remain, grossly ignorant concerning it, Malware is *never* going to go away. The recent attack on the UK hospitals, etc, is a perfect example of that. Gross ignorance by the office employees as well as the IT staff. The SMB ports should *never* have been improperly firewalled; which is what allowed it to spread around, once the first idiot! clicked the phishing link and allowed malicious code (again, the IT staff is just as guilty for improper system policy setup) to run on his/her machine. I won't even begin to discuss the sheer stupidity in lack of maintaining useful patient record backups! It didn't magically get loaded on any of those networks. Gross ignorance allowed it, from the office worker to the IT personal. I have nothing that requires a secure, encrypted session with you on that site... For more on the https or not to https, see he https://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/0...-Doesnt-Every- Website -Use-HTTPS then why do they use https ? Surely it's just a link to a text explanation. It's a forum, a discussion forum. That has user accounts. You can login to it, so it has interactive data that should be protected from prying eyes. Which is what HTTPS is for. As my site has no such options, there's no point in using HTTPS for it. Unless you don't trust that site, either. Well it does have https so why shouldn't I ? But, you didn't check it out. :) And, just because a site is using HTTPS does NOT mean the site is 'safe' or otherwise 'secure' and won't slip you a mickey. That's just not how things work. Don't know. You seem concerned with the .zip file doing you harm. They are pretty much the easist way to get infected . Not hardly. Compromised websites, including HTTPS enabled ones are one of the easiest vectors for acquiring unwanted software on your machine. That's done by usage of scripts that your browser will happily execute, without your knowledge, or consent, most of the time. Unless you have various script blockers enabled, and, don't use browsers with known vulnerabilities hindering the script blocking programs. You've never heard of Malwarebytes Antimalware? Have you been living under a rock, or, are you not a Windows user? correct I'mm not a windows users our IT people on PCS use macfee or soemthing they decide on and pay for. mcrappy? :) That's never been a top notch AV program. John Mcafee sold the pile of **** for a lot of money, years ago. He's a smart man like that. So, you see, I'd have nothing to gain by planting malware of any kind on your machine or anyone elses, but, a whole lot to lose by doing so. it's your word and I don't know who you are. I told you who I am. Some knew who jimmy savelle was some didn't some thought they knew. Fair enough, but, I'm always under peer review and scrutiny. So, I stand by what I wrote. As well as what's on the site I previously provided a link to. The .zip file contains a single, ASCII TEXT file. Do you think by opening the unzipped file in NOTEPAD, Any harm would come to your system? No idea don't care, but what am I likely to gain by doing this... free money, free sex, free beer ? The answer to my question is a resounding No. Notepad is unable to execute code of any kind. That's not what it's for. What you would gain is evidence concerning David Brooks shady aspects. Nothing else. ÅŸ Pentium II class CPU detected. Didnlt the pentium II come out just after the romans built hadrains wall, but I'm not that good with history TBH. You aren't so hot with IT either. :) PKZIP 2.0.4g doesn't know what cpus are past the pentium II. As later processors are for the most part, backwards compatible, it's check routine sees any later chip as a pentium II. This one is actually a dual P3/800mhz system running in SMP mode. It has two processors, mated. It's a dinosaur, by standards of the day, but, still a workhorse for the things in which I use it for. I have much faster, more capable machines on this network, but, they serve other purposes. DAVID.TXT is a complete, unedited, copy of ALL the email correspondence between him and myself, in the order it was sent/received. So you're attempting to bore me to death, well that's a new sort of virus. As I told you. It's zipped because, well, it doesn't make sense to send a half meg file to everyone who wants a copy, 1/2 meg is **** all. Sorry, I was raised in the time period that you didn't waste resources just because you could. My first computers didn't have much ram, or hard drives, etc. Back then, the computer didn't have much to play with, so you wrote tight efficient code, and, you didn't waste resources as you did so. when I could send a smaller file instead. Why waste bandwidth and resources of my domains provider? because you're paying them ? Nope. It was freely provided to me, years ago. I have full control over it, too. But, that doesn't mean I should waste resources and bandwidth, just because I can. I *was* a nasty person, at one point. Many years ago. I've since 'changed my evil ways' don't we all ? No. Some still tend to do the same stupid things, over and over again. Incapable of learning from their previous mistakes. and used my skills for productive things, that of a malware researcher instead of developer. Not that I only developed malware, mind you, I did write other stuff too: You develope malware ? I have in the past, yes. Alright then. David Brooks is a stalker (amongst other things) and contacted me via email under false pretenses, asking about my program, but, attempting to groom me to do some shady hacking for his sole benefit, against two! web forums he was previously banned from. The .zip is the complete and unedited email correspondence, in order, between David Brooks and myself, proving that what I've written above is true! Copied directly from my Pegasus email client, no less. well thanks for the warning but I'll treat him the same way I do others that I donlt know, I won't download his zips either. Fair enough. :) A plain ASCII TEXT FILE. You can open it in notepad. Notepad isn't going to run any macros, or other 'code' of any kind. IE: I can't very well slip you a mickey if you use notepad. Mickey finn drummer from T.rex ;-) Hah! :) Your logic needs some work...If any actual malware expert, such as myself, provided you a .zip file containing detailed instructions (and likely additional files to remove the malware from your machine for you), there'd be a logical reason for doing so. (as outlined above). Could be a double bluff. I've no more reason to trust what you say than certain others I don't feel I know very well. Sure, and hell could freeze over tonight. North Korea could send an ICMP with a viable nuclear warhead by tomorrow afternoon. Is either likely? No. -- I would like to apologize for not having offended you yet. Please be patient.

My older daughter spends every weekend taking her golden to various dog events, such as hunting, agility, tracking and retrieving competitions. the dog is a master senior hunter and as I posted earlier, qualified at Westminster for the finals in agility. The dog goes to a doggie chiropractor, and gets regular warm water massages. My other daughter, for some reason, has a natural attraction for animals. On more than one occasion, while swimming, wild dolphins would swim in and pay with her. In order to keep up with them, I have had to learn something about animals, Just as they had to learn something about art and music, in order to keep up with me and my wife. -- PeterN |

Thanks for sharing the photographs. Yup! My "Step-daughter from Hell" had a Shar Pei, and I had a better relationship with the dog than with her. This is another scan, shot with a K1000, some 25 years ago. You might say that my hair is somewhat fairer, and beard more obvious these days. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1dcu4i7ru2sxe8u/LCO%2BHc.jpg Maya died two years ago at the age of 5 1/2. To say my wife was devastated is an understatement. She was attached to that dog in a way I had never seen. There are days where I still find her crying over Maya. I'm saddened to learn of your loss. I, too, have cried over the loss of my pets over the years. They do, as you know, become a part of you. -- Regards, Savageduck |

There are days where I still find her crying over Maya. I'm saddened to learn of your loss. I, too, have cried over the loss of my pets over the years. They do, as you know, become a part of you. They certainly do become part of us. We have two now, Bella and Bubba. Bubba is from the same litter as Maya was. Bella is six months younger from the same father but different mother. We haven't had Bubba since he was a pup, we only had Maya at the time. Bella came six months later. A family on Long Island not far from us bought Bubba. Three years ago they decided they had to give him up. The couple who bought him had a baby at the time and three years later had another one. Her mother was going to care for the two children while the mother went back to work but she was allergic to dogs so they gave him up. When you buy a dog from the breeder we got them from, you agree that if you decide to give up the dog for any reason then you must give the breeder first opportunity to take the dog. The breeder is in North Carolina, quite a distance from Long Island. The couple was being difficult and they were adamant that they would give the breeder one week to come and get the dog or else they would send him to a shelter. She was upset about this because she couldn't get to Long Island within a week - she has a family and a job and what-not to attend to. She asked us if we would take Bubba until a suitable place was found for him. We agreed immediately and after having him for a day, we decided we would keep him. He's a timid dog but a good boy. I wonder what causes him to be so timid because he avoids being pet most of the time, as if he is afraid. I wonder how he was treated by his other family. |

Thanks for sharing the photographs. In the late 1970s, the Shar Pei was one of the rarest breeds. You had to have a lot of money to afford one! After Mao took power in China, he declared that ownership of dogs was not allowed and the breed dwindle to the point it was almost extinct. A businessman names Matgo Law smuggled about 200 Shar Peis from China to Hong Kong and then he appealed to American breeders to help him in breeding them to avoid extinction. The Shar Peis in the USA come mostly from those 200. Look-up "bone mouth Shar Pei" to get a look at what they originally looked like versus the "meat mouth Shar Pei" that is popular in the West.
