Firewall Vs. DC5 Configuration Question...

[Chucky]

Dear: Crackers,

As of now, I have 3 machines (One PII/450 and Two PII/300)that are ready for cracking. Just cracking, no fetch or flush because of the firewall.
And the question is: How can I put these machines to work?
I will do the Fetch and flush WU at home, again these 3 machines just for cracking.

Thanks,
Tho Ho

Chucky: even while you're probably from the enemy and I shouldn't help you I'll give it a go

At home get some WU's and copy the buff-in file to a floppy. At the machine at your work import the buff-in file with the -import option and your all set to crack. Do this for every machine (make sjure to get different buff-in/wu's for the machines or else you'll be doing a lot duplicate work for nothing)

Hope this helps, else someone from TA who has a better knowledge of the english language will probably help you out.

Now go and crack some blocks

EDIT emm.. I thought you were having problems with the firewall settings...


Right click on the client background (the while space), and click configure.

Then go to &quot;Buffer and buffer update options&quot; > Then go to # 6, whch is &quot;Keyserver <-> client connectivity&quot;.

I think there you can set up the firewall stuff.

Good luck, maybe some one who actually did this can help you.

Ya, go to the menu SSP said, and mess with the firewall settings first, as it'll be easier than bring blocks to/from work. Just set 6 to the proper proxy type, set the client to let you manually pick a keyserver(option 2), then set the client to use a keyserver(say pproxy.iodbbs.com) that uses port 80(since it's usually open on a firewall), and then set the client to use port 80(setting 4). Then give it a shot, if it doesn't work, go back into that menu, and give HTTP encapsulation a shot. If it still doesn't work, try looking up the IP of the proxy you chose, and put that IP into the &quot;keyserver&quot; field.

Misser, don't you worry, I am from AT team and have been cracking for awhile. I just wanted to add more blocks for team, that's all there is.
On the other hand, I have 5 or 6 PII machines that are collecting dust right now.

BTW: Thanks a bunch for the replies, guys.

Chucky,
Do the work PCs behind the firewall have access to the Internet?
If they do, go into their setup options, look for the connection options, and see if they are using a proxy to get to the internet.

If they are, write down the IP addy (or name) and what port they are using (usually 80 or 8080).

Pull up the RC5 client config, go to option 2 Buffer options, then Option 6, Keyserver<-->Client connection options.

Then select option 6, Firewall/proxy Protocol. Select option 1, HTTP.

You should then have an option 7, Firewall Hostname. Enter the IP address (or name) of the proxy used by your Internet browser.

Save settings and exit. If you have the cow in the systray, right click and select fetch, flush, or update. Check the connect messages to see if the client is able to establish a connection.

Another thing to try is to find a DNET proxyserver that listens on port 80, get the IP address, and specify that in the keyserver options under the Buffer options area of the client, along with port 80. It would look like this: 24.94.16.192:80 (that isn't a dnet addy)

If you are flushing to Mikas, then choose one of the round robin servers that listens on port 80, and specify that server's IP address as the keyserver name, and try the fetch, flush, or update and see what you get. I use clueless.2y.net, port 80:

24.94.16.192:80

Try that and see if it works. If not, another alternative is either sneakernetting from home, or fetch/flush via email.

I remember D.net have a list of popular firewall's and settings that can got through them OK:

Finally, the following list accounts for firewall software that is known to work with the distributed.net clients.

Wingate 2.x (Win32): HTTP proxy, Direct port mapping, SOCKS 4 &amp; 5. http://www.wingate.com
Internet Gate (OS/2): Direct port mapping
Microsoft Proxy Server (WinNT): HTTP proxy
Novell BorderManager (NetWare): HTTP proxy
Squid (Unix): HTTP proxy
AltaVista 97 (Unix/Win32): HTTP proxy
Gauntlet Firewall: HTTP proxy

I am going to do that tomorrow, if it works then I will have the rest of the machines done. Otherwise, I am gonna have to fetch and flush at home.

Thanks a big fat bunch to you Ray and VSS.

Chucky:

*whisper mode on*
I'm one of those crazy Dutch cows
*whisper mode off*

Happy cracking and I hope you get it working through the firewall thats much easier.

*edit the spelling what else
