If I distill your last post, that rat maze needs more definition. Also you can't fix an exploit unless you have a deep understanding of the exploit. Caveat? Someone else fixed it and you are using their advice or patch (i.e. you are not fixing it.)

The router must be a good router. For example if you were to bring me a device with the Intel Puma chipset you would find me pointing to the recycle bin today. I have yet to read of a definitive fix for that. This is not an Internet Protocol exploit here.

If you do have an exploit you are trying to fix, I have always found it to have a name as well as open discussions on security forums. Here we are at a few back and forths and I don't see "the name."

OK, let's pivot to "protection."

Think about packets. Let's say some nasty packets come at your router. The router itself is going to have to stand up to that or we have to call that a bad router.

Also we need to shutdown as much as possible in some routers. No "servers" there so all a router needs to do (understatement) is to route packets to the devices on the other side. NOW this can get interesting as for decades at the office this has never been a problem since any probing fails since unsolicited packets are dropped. Any server is hardened by dropping any packets to ports that are not mapped. I take it you have a good grasp on the IP operation in say Linux. So what's left?

I see your edit and don't see how that will attain your goals (which admittedly are a bit strewn about this discussion.)

If you feel the ip command will suffice, then it will.

I can't since you are the one that has to code this up at the lower levels of your selected OS. It appears you don't want to use the IP stack in the OS so you get to create your own as you see fit.

Think of it as if you are a God. I can't tell you what to create as you are creating something new.

Another issue is what I've read so far is something I see our network programmers tackled after years of writing network code. So there's a long of work ahead of you in the design of your replacement network stacks and then coding.

I'll disagree. You are trying to create a security appliance. But you are at the beginning of your work on this.

About https://suricata-ids.org/news/ . See if they have a mailing list and start going to those virtual seminars.

At some point you will be able to document the exploit you seem to be eluding to and they will log it as a bug to be fixed.

Show your work so far.

This doesn't tell me what you are looking for. You can do a lot of things with the Internet Protocol. That means you get to implement whatever you want. But on the LAN level, you don't have to use IP (example Novell Netware and others.)

Let's take a look at your premise that the hacker can access (what?) over the WAN. It's your gateway, you set the rules so how would this hacker get through? I worry you haven't thought this through or are thinking about folk that say "run TORRENTS" or other servers that have security flaws.

Maybe you are looking to eventually develop some Baracuda-like security appliance but I can't tell here.

To me this is starting to sound like one of the "ARP"s. I tend to not duplicate the web on that so read

Hello Tcll.

Then do that. I will share I worked at a company that had a secure IP "like" LAN. Basically there was a shim that say between the LAN and the device or computer that added said security.

Remember I can not tell all here but for Linux and Windows it is a supported thing that you can put your shim in there to do as you please for each packet in and out. That way nothing that doesn't know how to talk to the device or computer can't talk and since all communications are encrypted then said packets even if they went out on the Internet would not be useful.

Now if you are not into building your own world like this maybe you want to look at security appliances like Barracuda and others.

To close, I worry here you are trying to secure a Personal Computer (PC) or Windows. How long have you been at this? I've been around since say the IBM 360 days. When the PC arrived it was not secure at all since you just used a floppy to boot it up and it let you do anything you wanted since you were it's owner.

Despite any personal or political differences, we should all endeavor to show the Trump family the same amount of sympathy and respect that they showed the McCain family.

So you don't want an IP (Internet Protocol) network? Have you heard of other (mostly dead) protocols like what Novell Netware used long ago?

Our current networking hardware can support other protocols and you are more than welcome to make your own protocol.

https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=Can+I+send+a+message+to+a+MAC+address finds priors and while the answer is no, I don't think it's that cut and dry. It's only no if you want to use your (secure?) protocol outside your LAN since the Internet uses the Internet Protocol.

At office, shop and home the amount of memory used by a browser never seems to matter. As such I have to shrug here. ?‍♂️

For me Edge failed on a few too many sites back along with no addins at first so I never went back.

Finally, the browser wars ended long ago. Use what you want.

From your other post:

So I'm doing my CS NEA and I dont get what's wrong with my code here:

Since it is this you can't have folk write the code for you but you also need to do more than dump code and not write what the issue is. You can't lead with "it doesn't work" or similar. No one by you knows what this is supposed to do as we don't have access to the design spec.

I think there are some issues here which has little to do with the current GPU capability but more about the cooling of the 1080 Ti. Side Note: There is no such thing as the RTX 1080 Ti. Must be the GTX?

Since the 1080 works until it heats up you can consider better case cooling and or a GPU cooler.

Later you mention a 1070ti which well, I don't know how that got into the mix. Maybe some typographic errors in your top post?

In short, most likely a heat issue or an old graphics card. Can you share the last time you got in there with the canned air and did a fan check?
My criteria for fans is simple: "Works like new."

@Saboor880. Sorry but no. I don't hack Android that much but do know forums that dig into that. My best finds about such was at XDA Forum which also found another ROM (where the OS is) that saved a few phones from early retirement.

In closing, my find on this points to issues with the phone OS and not necessarily with your code as it stands.

This can be related to what Android and such is running on the phone. Google the following to find the discussion.

This is definitely a bug in the Android System WebView. I'm experiencing this issue on a Galaxy S8 with Android Pie using Android WebView version 73.0.3683.90. I rolled back to version 71.0.3578.99 and this problem goes away. – Pete Apr 11 '19 at 23:43

Not all phones have this issue. I posit that you can't fix this for every phone that fails unless you create your own system.

Given the site you linked to I worry this is for a paper you are being paid to write.

Also, you didn't show any effort in your code.

https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=Welcome+to+Vending+Machine+capable+of+deep+frying+twinkies finds this is a common assignment.

You have to do the work however if you have an issue, tell us about that and where you are stuck.

This looks like a ten to more year old assignment (school work.) Example: https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/write-application-prompts-user-checking-account-balance-sav-chapter-5-problem-1e-solution-9781133387510-exc

Please invest time to tell us where you are stuck so we can proceed.
Also, don't COPY THE ASSIGNMENT VERBATIM.

Since a web browser needs this code to display your site, you can't shut off all viewing of said code because, it's burnt into how things work.

Sorry but this may be a time when you turn from being a front end developer to an educator.

I worry here about your 3 post all about this server. https://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/microsoft-windows/threads/524294/exchange-2016-cu17-shows-incorrect-name-in-add-remove-programs-rrs-feed notes a recent upgrade but I missed where you mention that here.

Bugs can be introduced on updates.
Settings you didn't have to touch may required touching.
And to quote Bob Dylan "Everything is broken." That's why your company keeps IT staff around and if not, they get to call it in.

Maybe you needed a confirmation so here goes.

Always report bugs.

Saidly this is the new cheap as they can make HDD with the USB port right on the drive.
https://3b6tg03su4w72twlokencxn4-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/wd-4tb-drive.jpg for example.

Last rites:
Does the drive spin? (if not it's dead and gone.)
Does the drive show up in Linux or Windows Device Manager? (if not, it's dead and gone.)

Many used Crystal Reports back then.

While it usually the end of said drive, can we have the full make and model number?

Why? Sometimes it's the case that failed but newer (cheaper) models don't have the little adapter board old models had so you have to share the information so others can check that out.

Another reason for it to not show is when the file system is blown. See if it shows in Device Manager or even on a Linux PC.

For most it will be something the business (to be) person has a background in. For example you wouldn't be selling medical supplies without a medical background. Use your knowledge to pick your business.

For most, business is when one or more people exchange goods, services and currency.

Hope that helps.

I have a laptop (well a few) that run Linux and Windows 10 most of the time.

Was there a question you need to pose here?

This sounds like instructions and not something you would be putting up for discussion.

You have 3 posts now and it reads as if the company you work for has elected to not have, pay for tech support or have an IT lead or staff. Is that what is going on?

I worry here that you are trying to do more than what /bin/bash alone will do. For example what happens with external commands like ls?
Read https://medium.com/swlh/the-command-line-with-ls-l-6efaf01cc4c0 to get a quick primer here.

Since /bin/bash is run on each command it would have no memory of say the chdir command so the ls after a chdir may yeild unexpected results.

There are a lot more issues here that I won't get into but if you want to get to a command line, why not ssh in?

I also like Dr. Pepper and root beer but won't hold it against you if you order Pepsi.

Hmm, my longest used version of Windows was Windows NT 4.0. It was on a very nice for the day dual PentiumPro Overdrive PC. Back then most PCs you encountered were single core.

Today it's Windows 10 and all works for me so that's fine too. And yes, I still use Linux, ChomeOS, Android and what else but I learned long ago to never get attached to any OS.

How odd. This looks like a copy of https://www.daniweb.com/programming/game-development/threads/523676/how-can-i-create-a-game-like-8ball

As to loss of data, if you don't keep backups, you eventually lose data. I find that some have to lose it all a few times before the lesson is learned.

I see this was marked as solved.

I can think of a few ways.

1. Add code to check the content as it's typed.
2. Add code to check after the content is submitted.

A few thoughts.

1. Why bother with a short URL? The service you noted looks to cost money as well.
2. Where's your VB.NET code that fails?

@RJ

I think we can figure this out by thinking about those SAFE SPACES on college campuses where young minds won't get their feelings hurt or think for themselves.

This may be setting an new precedent as companies have to pay above and beyond the usual corporate taxes.

I think you've been hearing something from the orange man or his followers. I know nothing about a Biden Rule but those folk seem to think Biden should have issued a mask mandate.

Moderator George Stephanopoulos pointed out that Biden encouraged governors to institute mask mandates.

"Well no, but he didn’t do it. I mean, he never did it," Trump said.

There's more out there on that one.

We already have censorship on apps at Apple and Google. Now we have USA, China and what other countries?
