A while ago I downloaded a little tool called silencer, This is how it was described: Silencer offers a different approach. It can be used if you would like to keep the adware product but not have it communicate. It disables communications between your adware and its "mother ship" by disabling the latter's URLs in your hosts cache by pointing them all to 127.0.0.1 (or any other IP). Please note that although you are justifiably upset that these stealth communications are going on in your computer, you might actually be in violation of your EULA if you disable them - so use it for educational or troubleshooting use only. Works with: all (generic) Note: If you decide to remove the application later, you need to delete the file C:\Windows\hosts and reboot your machine. If you do not delete the HOSTS file, you will continue to block the servers that you added. I haven't checked myself if it works but as soon as i done I let you know, unfortunally I can't seem to find the url that I got it from :confused: |
Hmm .This ip adress seems to be odd the following resuts I got from the Ripe website search : 127.0.0.1 % This is the RIPE Whois server. % The objects are in RPSL format. % Please visit http://www.ripe.net/rpsl for more information. % Rights restricted by copyright. % See http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/pub-serv...copyright.html inetnum: 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255 netname: IANA-BLK descr: The whole IPv4 address space country: NL admin-c: IANA1-RIPE tech-c: IANA1-RIPE status: ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED remarks: The country is really worldwide. remarks: This address space is assigned at various other places in remarks: the world and might therefore not be in the RIPE database. mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT mnt-lower: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT mnt-routes: RIPE-NCC-NONE-MNT changed: bitbucket@ripe.net 20010529 source: RIPE role: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority address: see http://www.iana.org. e-mail: bitbucket@ripe.net admin-c: IANA1-RIPE tech-c: IANA1-RIPE nic-hdl: IANA1-RIPE remarks: For more information on IANA services remarks: go to IANA web site at http://www.iana.org. mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-MNT changed: bitbucket@ripe.net 20010411 source: RIPE Perhaps a more tech skilled person can shine a light on this odd IP number ?? |
127.0.0.1 is your loopback address = your computer. If you ping 127.0.0.1 (or any other 127.x.x.x) IP, you will ping your own computer only, no traffic will be routed to the internet. Hope it helps, Moak PS: The Silencer idea sound nice, if AdAware doesn't help. |
HeHe so KathW is bugging himself ? Perhaps you where running LW twice KathW ? That's the only thing I can think off rightnow. And about The silencer , as soon as I find the url I"ll post it here |
Re: I know about 1 + 1 = 2 Quote:
Keep this version or try the supernode alpha, this version is also free! But please do not install 1.8... Morgwen |
Silencer HeHe sorry KathW , I indeed haven't heard of men that where named Kath, I did hoever hear of a boy called Sue....:D But you should ask Johnny Cash for the details And speaking of cash (and related programmes) I have tried the Wisenut search engine to track Silencer and found lot's of pages with a download link but the link's are all dead The Silencer Homepage still exists but I can't find a link to DL I do have a copy myself so anyone interested can leave a message and adress to send to. |
Hi Kath! I thought lw is using the port 80 and not 6346... 6346 is the standard port for bearshare and a few other gnet clients... Morgwen |
Hi Raaf! Please send it to my eMail address (in my profile!)... thany you! Morgwen |
errorerrorerrorrrorrrorerrorrreeoo---',,,... Phhew KathW, You do run into weird compu thingys :) |
Hey KathW, about your 127.0.0.1 problem, just give me a more detailed output and I can try to understand! :) But, hehe, I think programms just connecting to itself are not dangerous hot spyware. *grin* I think you don't need to worry. Greets, Moak |
Hi Kath! 43 KB Morgwen |
Hi KathW > When you say 'output' what do you need to know? Good question. Just give me everything your tool tells? For example if you use 'netstat -na' the whole output might be interesting for investigation. So long... Moak |
Hi Kath! You cannot send attachments, via this forum... Send me a PM with your email! Morgwen |
Im suck of this BS spyware crap If they put it in..fine.. wont use it anymore. I didnt ask for a new version with it... FK that . dam spys |
some answers to questions The ip address 127.0.0.1 is called a loopback. Its for mainly diagnostic purposes. Say if you ping 127.0.0.1, you're initially pinging yourself. You would do this to test if your NIC was working or not if you had some type of connection problem. As far as port 6364 goes. That is pretty much the standard/popular port used. The reason its that port, I have no idea. But you can specifiy the port you wanna use for people to connect to you, say if that port was already being used by something else. The port 80 thing....I think you got that confused with the type of requests gnutella clients give out. As in they are pretty much http requests for files and etc. |
back in the begin when Al Gore invented the internet.... HAHAHA YEAH RIGHT!!! good ole ARPAnet later know DARPAnet was the internet the old Unix guys in colleges never thought the internet would catch on. so they devoted and entire Class A network, the 127 net, to pinging back on your network adapter which means they gave up 16,777,214 IP addresses just to make sure the Adapter works... hope that shed some light on the dismal |
Hi KathW, how about a screenshot, so we can take a look on what you see. You can make a screenshot with a grafic program of your choice (e.g. Irfanview, freeware at http://www.irfanview.com) and then attach it to a new post ("Attach file"). |
uhhh or what about pressing the "Print Screen" button and pasting it in Windows Paint than saving it has a bitmap. Then Hopefully converting it into a jpeg with Internet Explorer or some crap. A lot faster and easier than downloading crap.... |
got it Oh yes, Limwire connects to itself. You can see it in the first two lines, one outgoing from yourself and then coming in again (127.0.0.1 = you). So this is definitely a question for the Limewire experts/developer. I guess you should ask them. Greets, Moak :) |
Re: Silencer you may download it here http://www.spychecker.com/silencer.zip |
the same thing happened to me last night! |
thanks!!!!:) |
Maybe I can help. Sometimes it occurs that you find hosts on the network with 127.0.0.1 or local network ips like 10.*.*.* or 192.168.*.* for ip-addr. They seem to be hosts behind a firewall. When they connect to you, they usually open two connections, one incoming and one outgoing and if you cancel one of them, you cancel them both. |
