Neowin Uptime Project Group

[snippet1]

heh im technosexual

btw it is possible to cheat. if i had a spare box around here i could throw it up with win98 and in a few hrs could have it up to almost a year of uptime. and not by spoofing the packet(s). i figure its possible in 2k/xp as well

edit: nice. now im not the only non windows os on there

Yeah - I thought that if there was a way, that it'd probably be a Windows flaw. Also - I heard once that there was a set number of days that pre-2000 vers of Windows would automatically reboot in - is that true?

:laugh: That's one way to do it!

This guy has apparently been using XP 4 months before it came out...tell me that isn't cheating

He could possibly of had the beta versions, whether the Uptime project also identifies those as "normal" versions of WinXP you'd have to ask them.

[[ timko ]]

hasn't XP been around for that long?

Look on the timeline scale down the right hand side of the page. It shows when beta, interim and gold versions were released:

http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/windowsxp_gold.asp

The official release data according to that timescale was Oct 2001 which is 2 years and almost 3 months ago.

797 days = 2 years and 67 days as of posting right now so it is possible for "Killerjockel" to of had a proper version of XP running all this time

Even if he wasn't a member (which he is as Snippet1 has pointed out) he is HELPING us go up the group charts with his long uptime. (it's not just about individual performances within the NW group, it's about overall and how we can beat other teams collectively.) :ninja:

im gonna catch ya timko :p dont crash *jynx* :p

The guy using creamhackered is not actually creamhackered.

hey guys, it was me that was talking about spoofing the packets. It is actually quite hard as they have some sort of key that you have to generate. The example of the data that it sends is:

POST /?username=adrian HTTP/1.0
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 205
Host: uptimeserv.0rD.net
Accept: text/html, */*
User-Agent: Uptime Client++ v0.19beta

username=<USERNAME>&passwort=<PASSWORD>&key=d3616af65dca0b7f0438e1ad32a9eb02&uptime=79285&os=Windows+XP&sp=1&build=2600&version=19&mac=g1d4e704e4F3321d1b0246408ebe528c&machash=03fc7h2efa3853751952d9b1akd31cd8&

[GR7]

Im guessing the password key is probably encripted in SHA format? It cant be MD5 or it would be all caps.

but Adrian, you said you actually managed to spoof the packet and cheat the system the first time....and that then you couldnt get the client to update the uptime? right?

i would agree with you timko......but there's no way we're going up the charts with all those 0d Xm people in the league. someone said somewhere back in this thread that it was jsut for fun now, since there wasnt really a way to climb up on the leagues chart.....so since it was for fun now i thought we could compete between us, for FUN. nothing else. :laugh:

[Liquid]

anyone kno how I can grab my servers uptime on the network? it has no moniter and stuff and i dont wanna move it. its got 625 days uptime. I gotta make us first, but how? err. i tried accesing remotely, didn't work

[darkmark327]

I hate ATI's incompatibilities...grr

Say what you will about nvidia, but I never had any problems with their hardware. My stupid Radeon 9700 is apparently incompatible with the 875p chipset, and their DVD player is bug-ridden.

It's not quite off topic, look at my uptime...and guess why I had to reboot.

How exactly do i join the Neowin leauge?

Well I just clicked on your sig Uptime image and the page that loads up claims you are already a member of the Neowin league. I'm guessing you figured it out then?

[BxBoy]

hey [ timko ], you might want to use our 'Panther Skin' as it goes with your current signature.. ;)

[[ timko ]]

Heh, that's where I pinched the gfx from in the first place... when you had the Panther skin in your sig before you changed it about a week ago :)

HeHe.. I rotate the skins on a regular basis.. but you can always use any of the skins that are there..

Damn! You had to restart your box?
