Now that you've told a little more, finding the best would have you write down a list of requirements to find which is best then begin a study. I doubt that is what you need to invest here. Also, you didn't reveal what the hack job was so if you were to hack Windows you most likely would be on Windows but if you were trying to hack a login on some WiFi system then Parrot or something else would be fine.

There is no best. It's like a painter's set or brushes. You pick one that gets the effect you want.

Finally sometimes the hack is not something computer related. If you want to infiltrate a building, a maintenance company shirt, attire, and a clipborad used to get you past the guard and may still work well today.

Ahh, now I see it. Your post title asked about the connection result which as an old MySQL person I took as exactly that.

If I swap your use of connection for "query" then that changes the question to something else.

The problem is not one the seller worries about in the USA due to laws here. Since there are about 195 countries in the world I'll stick to the USA for the moment and copy from the web about merchant liability here.

Generally, the bank is more likely to be liable for the fraud for card-present transactions, while the merchant might get stuck with the cost for transactions without a physical card. (Merchants using the older swipe payment terminals and not the newer chip readers also incur more liability.)

This is why merchants don't fret about this much as they only lose the transaction costs rather than the full amount of the sale.

From your last post it appears that client and maybe the developer is chafed by copyright and trademark laws.

In extreme cases like https://www.motorious.com/articles/news/s550-eleanor-seized/ you find the car's image and name is so tied up in legal wrangling that you won't go near that image or name.

This could be a very long discussion but it's your EULA so write it as best you can, have it reviewed by other team members and see what they think.

Let me share a story about work I did for a company. They wanted to own my code but they didn't employ me or pay in advance so my choice was to keep ownership of both code and algorithms but give them a license to use. To add some humor to the agreement I added the license was valid for the planet known as Earth. They ran it past their legal department and we worked together for decades.

On top of that we see some shilling going on. Dani once wrote that this is OK since it's "Fake it till you make it." That's typical for companies and people like Theranos. We see where they usually land. Also:

Small world. My last W2000 SP4 (I mention SP4 because it matters when we run this old OS) was a:

Self made PC with (two!) Pentium Pro II Overdrive CPUs. See http://www.os2museum.com/wp/intel-overdrive-part-iii-pentium-ii-overdrive/ for an idea of the power of the dark side back then. (We have cookies.) I had maxed out the RAM on the machine at 64MB (expensive back then) and for the HDDs it was some SCSI RAID 0. The graphics card was some early Nvidia or 3DFX. When it came time to move on I changed out the HDD array to a simpler single IDE drive which was the style at the time. Nod to the PS below! Otherwise the new owner would not be able to deal with SCSI rules.

All that aside, I can't tell if your setup ever worked yet but you do want to try the USB LEGACY settings in the BIOS and use PS/2 connected mouse and keyboard.

In regards to no responses mostly:

  1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warnock%27s_dilemma for reference. Folk would have to actively seek out your posting as far as I can tell. I read from https://www.daniweb.com/articles/latest/articles so I'll notice new content as the front page doesn't have highlights for me of important topics. I think item #3 "No one read the post, for whatever reason." is mostly why so little response. As I would be the outlier (a person or thing differing from all other members of a particular group or set) I thought it best to not reply in public so you would get pristine feedback.
    To tackle item 3 of Warnock's Dilemma maybe this should be in your monthly email rather than a discussion and the front page.

Recently when reviewing bids on our solar system, one installer was kicked out instantly when they had a yearly subscription charge. Yes I did look at their offering and it came up woefully short on value and felt like "rent seeking." This is not all that you are challenged with here getting folk to pay for the extras but it's got to be one of them.
