Mac Spoofed: Security

[elasticweed]

Wait, Mac OS X also runs on BSD...

[hellboyfromspace]

adamfawcett, macs aren't for people that don't know how to use a "standard customizable system", they are for people that don't want to wait 2 minutes for the computer to turn on, shut down, or for it to open an application :)

[Meta1203]

BSD == Unix == The OS X underlying kernel

[lefteyegomad]

Or...... get both a PC and a Mac :D sorted

[NJpanther05]

can you make more of these?

[TrueNuff]

@NJpanther05 sure! ^JD3

[cakelover33]

u guys rock

[f4saken]

Ehhmmm... osx is based on free-bsd.. so..

[phillip2680]

Mac's can get viruses now xD there was i think 15,000 Mac's there got it

[tratan3]

I love linux guy and now I love BSD guy too (:

Did you know Gnu's Not Unix? It's true!

Also OS/2 was developed by IBM. MS "helped", in other words they killed it from within. Nice to see it referenced at all though.

Nobody even mentioned the Linuxes' security. I guess it goes without saying (:

Also unlike the mac, hackers put a lot of effort into breaking Linux security, since the most important servers tend to run it.

[kornholioa]

@tratan3 yea, but they go afetr the server versions of linuix (ex. redhat) not as much as ubuntu linuix or linuix mint

[david2032blogs]

MacOS is actually based on BSD.

[ResidentEvilacPiano]

1.Windows

2.Linux/ Unix

3.Anything else

4. Macs.

Even Linux users agree, Mac users are egotistical self righteous douchebags who refuse to accept anything they dont wanna hear.

GO LINUX

and

GO WINDOWS 7!

[Leandro5000100]

@ResidentEvilacPiano YUP! Windows and Linux FTW!!

[kornholioa]

@ResidentEvilacPiano DUH thank you

[thedei]

Funny thing is, BSD is built with the Unix kernal, and Mac OS X also uses the Unix kernal, so essentially with a mac you are buying overpriced hardware and expensive software that you can get distro's of for free.

[leerman22]

the only time i've ever gotten a virus FOR VISTA is on purpose (by finding bullshit game hax, DONT DO HAX FAG LOL)

[filiesillo]

and only one last thing there are virus for macs, or atleast I've seen one and it was DAAAAAAAAMN easy to code, but yet who would it'dbe passed to, but neverminding that macs can get sick too

[XenOtai]

I will never buy Mac. Or any Apple product for that matter. Why would i pay for an overpriced item?

[magichristo]

@XenOtai Uhh, overpriced?

Nopes.

[XenOtai]

Just google "apple overpriced". There is a lot of information. Generally, Apple hardware costs much more than PC counterparts.

[magichristo]

@XenOtai Yeah... And Apple hardware is more beautiful, faster, and greener.

[XenOtai]

@magichristo Beautiful? You can customize PCs. And Apple's beauty has some issues associated with it... Like overheating, because there isn't enough space for vents in that beauty. Faster? I'd argue with that. My Win XP runs like a charm, consumes little resource, has awesome compatibility and never crashes. Greener? Maybe, but i'd like to see some proof first.

[magichristo]

@XenOtai XP is outdated and slower.

And yes, Greener. Apple has no right to say the batteries are greener if theyre not. It's illegal.

[XenOtai]

What do you mean outdated? What can't it do besides play some of the newer games, if even that? As to speed, i'd like to see some comparisons showing OS X is faster than XP. Same goes to environmental care. Apple may be green, but Microsoft might be no less greener. Quote from Microsoft site: "At Microsoft, we are committed to software and technology innovation that helps people and organizations around the world improve the environment."

[magichristo]

@XenOtai 1.- XP is outdated in terms of features and design/look. And yes, that matters.

2.- Microsoft, green? All microsoft does is code the software and help companies make Windows compatible hardware. THOSE companies are in charge of making the batteries greener.

And how can you deny that Apple batteries are greener? Less of them go to waste, they last more.

[XenOtai]

XP has all the necessary feautures. What useful feautures does it not have? Also, you can customize it's look to make it like win7 interface.

I didn't make up that Miscrosoft is green. They say it on their own site. I merely quoted them. Also, I am not saying that Apple batteries are not greener. I just don't have proof for or against that. If you have, i'd like to have a glance at it.

[magichristo]

@XenOtai 1.- If you make XP look like 7 it will become slower, and will still not have some important features.

2.- What Microsoft makes that is enviroment friendlier is the lighter OS, which consumes less battery.

[XenOtai]

Not much slower, those are just cosmetic changes. XP is fast and can handle that and still be faster than other OSs on the market. And you haven't answered what are those feautures that one needs and that are not present in XP or can't be added by third-party applications.

Yes, but effect of less hungry OS is the same as the effect of more capacious battery - it saves energy.

[magichristo]

@XenOtai There are many hardware - software features that XP can't handle, and for some people that's very important. Do I really need to name them?Nope.

[XenOtai]

Okay, these people are the minority. Most of users don't need those things. That's what i meant by "necessary features". Win7 is slower than xp and doesn't add any new features that the majority of the consumers ever utilizes. And often you can still have workaround. For example, i have a PPC made more than 5 years ago. Windows Mobile 5 didn't have native support for SDHC cards with big capacity, so i installed third-party drivers and it worked. Same with XP. No need to upgrade to Win7.

[magichristo]

@XenOtai Finnaly something we agree on.

BTW, I didn't know Win7 was slower than XP. As I don't have both here to compare, I'll have to trust your word for it. Seems weird.

[XenOtai]

You can look up some videos on youtube that show considerably slower work with folders containing a lot of files in Win7 than in XP. There are also some other examples like that. It's not much, but it is. Personally, i think that after a couple of service packs Win7 will become better than XP. If i was buying a new computer i'd probably go for Win7. But for older machines there is no need to upgrade, as XP is noticeably faster on them. And there are still some compatibility issues with Win7.

[kornholioa]

@magichristo well xp is a lighter operating system than 7, 7 has a heavy graphic image. then linuix is the lightest

[magichristo]

@kornholioa also depends on the theme you use.

[evankowalski]

@kornholioa Which is why you can change from Aero to Basic, which still looks damn good. Linux is the lightest OS, looking at it from just a kernel, but when you install all the shit you'd actually NEED on just about any computer it's easily close to Windows 7 without most of the features (Aero, touchscreen support, Windows Media Center, etc.)

[Xaviersama016]

@kornholioa You know... my laptop is actually slower with xp than windows 7...

[kornholioa]

@Xaviersama016 yea, your using a 6+ year old operating system

[XavierforAIESECTV]

@kornholioa No I`m using windows 7 because win xp is slower lolz

[UninstallingWindows]

jeah...looks like the viruses have been contained nicely on pc´s.

i had my last virus like 8 years ago or something.

[ArantirSH]

Virus free computers are for loosers who cant download porn XD

[JakesTechBox]

os2 was made mostly by ibm and a little by microsuck

[a380person]

"I wish someone told me that before i fucked 12 PCs" LOL!

[adamfawcett]

Virus on my Windows PC? Never had one in my life. And I don't run a (virtual) firewall or anti-virus software. My NIC does enough to prevent them, unless I overwrite it which would be pretty retarded.

My PC doesn't crash either, the last time I crashed it it's because I messed up with a timer in VB.

Macs are for people who don't have the common sense to use a standard customizable system.

[filearoo]

Mac's are for people who given the advent of the Calculator have forgotten Mathematics.

[Traenan]

At least none that you know of. ;)

Trust me, me and some people do some work with erm, auditing the potential of malicious code. You'd be -really- surprised at a) just how sneaky they can be, and b) just how hard they truly are to remove, and c) just how easily they can skate past a virus scanner with FUD scantime and runtime encrypting.

[kornholioa]

@adamfawcett intellegence anytime you hear someone say u get alot of viruses on a pc, they are looking at things no one should see, also, once macs are more of the market, they will get ALOT of viruses

[funincluded]

@adamfawcett

You know what an NIC is, so you know more about computers than most users do

The problem is that (just like not all drivers are mechanics) not everyone using a computer really knows what they're doing... and they shouldn't have to.

Average people get viruses, but Mac users don't.

[DarKon46]

@adamfawcett No, they just want to get rid of these Problems.

[natrino84]

Its 8% and its good that way there in the minority, windows is the majority. Just use safari, firefox not IE and keep internet security up to date and youre be ok, i like not having to worry about it on mac os x

[HerrBismarck]

True. Its funny how a lot of people think that Macs have a magic powder that protects them from virus.

[Gear1924]

you know that mac is also a bsd?

[nilloc93]

ya only get a virus on your PC if you watch porn or DL stuff you should not have

windows vista 3 years running only 1 virus

[BlindFist]

true, but i recently formatted my hard drive and i was browsing on internet explorer for like 1 hour and i got adware. Firefox + Windows + AVG = no virus.

[jaspreetsekhon]

do you have a antivirus software maybe thats why but on mac its comes built in and they update it every month

[nilloc93]

on Windows i have it free and it updates every day or so DURRR

(f-secure 2010) i am running windows 7 now BTW

[kyledude120]

who cares if macs are 1% of the market, they don't get viruses, why follow the crowd of idiots? and be like everyone else, being raped by spyware LOL

[7677876]

Dude. Macs do get viruses. All they do is keep you from downloading pretty much anything you want to download.

[BlindFist]

they dont get virus's because theres no profit in making a virus for macs. you can freak out a mac user who has no idea WTF is going on, but macs are 3% of the market. everyone uses Windows so they make viruses for windows, but everything else is designed for windows(games, programs, all that fun shit)

[kyledude120]

I have COD4 on my macbook, and it runs fine, theres enough mac games out there for me to play, i have a 360 for games anyway, and i'm probably gonna sell it because i'm over videogames, waste of time and $, i will always keep my N64 though, also "every program is designed for windows"? Adobe photoshop was origianly for mac, then it was later mad for windows, most pc programs are made by another company other than WINDOWS, so they don't run together with the pc as well as apple made apps on a mac

[Quebec62]

@kyledude120 Point still stands: Most programs are made for Windows and aren't compatible with Macs.

Plus, what you said isn't even true; programs that aren't made by microsoft are still coded to fit PCs and tested on PCs.

And... When did windows become a company?

[KitsuneInari78]

Linux dosen't get Viruses. So I dont have the extra crap to deal with unike windows and mac users do.

Currently running Ubuntu 9.04 and Puppy Linux. :)

[noun12345]

But then again, doing anything in Linux requires working knowledge of the command line (running Kubuntu 9.04).

[LordDestros]

Please list an example of something that requires command prompt usage in Linux.

[KitsuneInari78]

You proved your point. Not many linux distros require knowledge of terminal prompting any more. But I did come up with one thing which took some thought. Manually set up and connect a wireless card in Ubuntu/Kubuntu.

[LordDestros]

Heh, though it may be common for a CLI to be used, it certainly isn't required XD. AFAIK the same applies to manual setup of wireless cards (though automatic detection of networks should occur, you should still be able to manually specify networks through NetworkManager with a GUI). There are a few cases where a CLI may be needed by the end user but these usually aren't required for normal operation.

[KitsuneInari78]

Ubuntu by default wouldn't use my wireless card. I installed Ndiswrapper to get a connection. That didn't work. So I tried to set a Static IP using ifconfig. still didn't work. Both together didn't work either. I'm now using Macpup Opera linux which does support my wireless card. If you do know how to fix wireless in ubuntu I will be so greatfull.

[LordDestros]

Well I'd need to know the wireless card you use before giving useful advice. Did you try posting on Ubuntu forums? If you managed to get it to work with one distro, I see no reason why it shouldn't work on another distro.

[KitsuneInari78]

sent a message regarding the card.

[bowersbros]

Shell Access =D

[AirForcedude5]

sucks for you lol

[EekuumBokuum]

hahaha macs get viruses, accept a lot of them are designed for windows so macs just get loaded up with a bunch of viruses, which over time slows the pc down causing it to crash, PCs on the other hand can detect a lot of these and if ur smart u'd get Nod32 & Avast so your shits tighter than a babys asshole

[highwolffx]

i've actually never heard of BSD and why don't they put IBM on one of the videos????

[OraNgeyPoPSicleS]

IBM is not a OS, and BSD is a OS based of linux thats the joke with the windows and OS2

[LordDestros]

BSD isn't based off of Linux.... The original BSD is based on Unix and predates Linux by 14 years. The FOSS BSDs may not be directly part of the Unix family but that doesn't mean they are Linux-based.

[OraNgeyPoPSicleS]

o ya right hehe srry for bad post thats just what i remembered

[jedilord88]

any computer can get a virus.

[msdta]

made with 100% t-stirt lmao

[uskmunder]

macs can get viruses. the mac users just dont know it ahahaha

[BobajoBrennen]

Lmfao, cuz their stoopid, hahahaha

[Chitenza]

lol at BSD...but i might have to try that op system next

[CartoonZack]

the intro makes me thristy

[amankins]

same.

[dethonius]

lol mac osx is bsd its even looks the same

[TonkatrainHONKHONK]

Made with 100% t-shirt XD

[viniciusferrao]

This is simply the BEST MacSpoof from TrueNuff xD

Please do more Macspoofs!

[Blue67impala]

Macs dont get viruses?, I wish I knew that before I fucked 12 pc's lol

[virtualpilot88]

lol Macs are based on FreeBSD

[Evi4666]

Macs and FreeBSD are both from the Unix kernel

[PureWeatherPROJECTS]

lol made with a 100% t-shirt.
