SOCKS

A protocol for handling TCP traffic through a proxy server. It can be used with virtually any TCP application, including Web browsers and FTP clients. It provides a simple firewall because it checks incoming and outgoing packets and hides the IP addresses of client applications.

There are two main versions of SOCKS -- V4 and V5. V5 adds an authentication mechanism for additional security. There are many freeware implementations of both versions. One of the most common V5 implementations is SOCKS5, developed by NEC.

Before I attempted to hack that server, I connected through multipe SOCKS proxies.

wildflowers

One of Tom Petty's best album to date. "Wildflowers" was released in late 1994, and became an instant hit album. The album contained the songs "You Don't Know How It Feels", "Honey Bee", "You Wreck Me", "It's Good to be King", "Wildflowers", "House in the Woods", and many other great songs.

Some Tom Petty fans feel "Wildflowers" was Tom Pety's last great album.

windows

An operating system that destroyed the internet as we know it. When Microsoft introduced Windows 95, they opened the door for the scums of the internet.

Windows is like a Jaguar. They're both high priced, and they're both unreliable.

The Wall

A great album by the rock band Pink Floyd. The Wall has many great songs such as "Young Lust", "Hey You", "Comfortably Numb", and many other memorable tunes. The Wall was released in 1979, but it sounds fresh, even today!

In my opinion, Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is the last great Floyd album.
