How to spoof your speedtest.net results

Duffy — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 11:19:53 +0000

In this tutorial we will be showing you how to spoof your speedtest.net results. You will require a httpd server to do this, in this tutorial I used lighttpd running on debian.

To install lighttpd on debian just simply run

apt-get install lighttpd php5-cgi php5-ldap php5-mhash

and edit your php.ini to change cgi.force_redirect to 0

nano /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini

Come down and you'll find ;cgi.force_redirect = 1 and change it to cgi.force_redirect = 0
Now we need to edit lighttpd.conf

nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Add the following lines

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
                        (
                                (
                                        "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",
                                        "socket" => "/tmp/php.socket",
                                        "max-procs" => 20,
                                        "bin-environment" =>
                                        (
                                                "PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "2",
                                                "PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "10000"
                                        ),

                                )
                        ),
                    ".phps" =>
                        (
                                (
                                        "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi --syntax-highlight",
                                        "socket" => "/tmp/phps.socket",
                                        "max-procs" => 1,
					"check-local"       => "disable"
                                )
                        )

                 )

and then under server.modules = ( add mod_fastcgi
and then finally restart your httpd

/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

To spoof your speedtest.net result you'll need to grab speedtest.net mini you can download this from their website at http://speedtest.net/mini.php or you can just use wget to download it straight onto your server like I did in the tutorial

wget http://files.speedtest.ookla.com/releases/mini.zip

Extract mini.zip to your html dir, by default this is /var/www

mv mini.zip /var/www;cd /var/www; unzip mini.zip

Find out the IP address of the speedtest.net server to do this just simply run a speedtest and you will see it say something like Transferring data from host
for me the host was speedtest.airwire.ie and to get the IP address we just ping the host. After finding the IP address you need to add a virtual interface on your httpd server with this IP to do so run the following, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of the speedtest.net server

ifconfig eth0:0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0

Then lastly we need to add a secondary IP address on your windows workstation so it can access the httpd server to do so go into your network connections right click on your networking interface click on properties select internet protocol version 4 and press properties click advanced and under IP addresses click add. Add an IP address that is in the same range as the speedtest.net server.

You should now be able to go to speedtest.net select the server you spoofed and get high speeds.

Windows 7 Move the Users and Program Files Directories To A Different Partition

Duffy — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:28:48 +0000

After installing windows 7 you will be greeted with a user creation prompt press shift+f10 and you should get a cmd window up like in the image below

Copy the Users Profiles, Program Files And ProgramData Folders onto the Partition you want to use

robocopy "C:\Users" "D:\Users" /E /COPYALL /XJ
robocopy "C:\Program Files" "D:\Program Files" /E /COPYALL /XJ
robocopy "C:\ProgramData" "D:\ProgramData" /E /COPYALL /XJ

Delete the old folders and create links
For Program Files:
```
rmdir "C:\Program Files" /S /Q
mklink /J "C:\Program Files" "D:\Program Files"
```
For the User Profiles:
```
rmdir "C:\users" /S /Q
mklink /J "C:\users" "D:\users"
```
and lastly ProgramData:
```
rmdir "C:\ProgramData" /S /Q
mklink /J "C:\ProgramData "D:\ProgramData"
```
If you have any permissions issues while deleting C:\ProgramData don't worry about them just try to delete it and make the links again after first reboot
Now open regedit simply by typing regedit on the cmd window
To change the program files path navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion and edit the ProgramFilesDir and CommonFilesDir as needed
For the user profiles you'll need to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and again edit the paths as needed
Exit Regedit and the cmd window
Continue to create your user
Reboot your machine and you should be good to go

Finally we need to restart inetd run ps aux | grep 'inetd' note down its pid then run kill -HUP pid

How to Compile a UnrealIRCd Module

Gamerx287 — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:43:37 +0000

This tutorial will show you how to compile in a module for UnrealIRCd.

You can find the official list of modules here.

First step is to login to the server via SSH and go to the folder where UnrealIRCd is. Then you must go to the "src/modules" directory.

cd src/modules

Then, of course, you must download the file into the folder.

wget modulelinkhere

Usually, it will download a .tar.gz file, which you can extract by doing:

tar xfz filename.tar.gz

Sometimes the actual module file (in the format of modname.c) is in a folder, which you can easily get into the "src/modules" folder by moving it.

cd ModnameFolder
mv modname.c ../

If the .tar.gz opens as just a module file and not a folder, you can ignore the previous step.

The next step is to go back to the main UnrealIRCd folder

cd ../../

To compile the module run the following:

make custommodule MODULEFILE=modulename

Then after that is done, do the final step of compiling:

make install

But before you start anything you must edit the unrealircd.conf

nano unrealircd.conf

There is a part close to the top that has something like this:

loadmodule "src/modules/commands.so";
loadmodule "src/modules/cloak.so";

Under the last loadmodule, you put your newly compiled module in there.

loadmodule "src/modules/moulefile.so";

After that, your all done! All you have to do is rehash Unreal:

./unreal rehash
