00:00.26TorhalSure. Even Canadian and UK TV.

00:00.35znfmixed messages here, guys
00:01.02Torhal¯\_(ツ)_/¯
00:01.17znfthese people are too pretty
00:01.20znfthat annoys me
00:01.45Funkeh`muh immersion
00:02.11TorhalThe fact that they're obviously too old for high school doesn't annoy you? :D
00:02.25znflike, that pretty brunette lady with the husband in jail, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR HAIR AND WHY IS IT TOO PERFECT?
00:02.26nevcairielmaybe they are just really really stupid
00:02.43znfnah, I'm used to american shows with 25yo's in highschool
00:03.11znfMy brain just interprets it as you guys just finishing highschool too late
00:03.59TorhalKindergarten lasts for seven years!
00:04.04znfTorhal: do they find out that junkie-head is homeless?
00:04.22TorhalWow, spoilers.
00:04.40znfpft, you're current with the show
00:04.57TorhalI'm not the only one in the channel.
00:05.14znfI didn't even say his name!
00:05.20znf...I literally have no idea what his name is, for that matter
00:18.15Torhalznf: Jughead :)
00:27.12znfGnarfoz: how much experience do you have with FCoE?
00:33.21znfTorhal: uuuuh, I saw lady with fucking perfect hair and that guy from beverly hills 90210 kissing!
00:33.46TorhalErmagherd, znf.

00:43.52Gnarfozznf: 0
00:43.59znfGnarfoz: :(
00:44.19Gnarfozfancy newfangled stuff^^
00:44.24znfthere seems to be support for software FCoE
00:44.28Gnarfozreal FC all day every day
00:44.32quiescensgives Gnarfoz a cookie
00:45.33znfGnarfoz: why FC vs. Infiniband
00:45.42Gnarfozthey do different things?
00:45.51znfhow?
00:46.02GnarfozWikipedia should tell you, tbh
00:46.31Gnarfozinfiniband wasn't over fiber, at least back then
00:46.32znfanyway, in regards to server/client support for FC
00:46.46znfcan you actually turn commodity hardware into a FC "server"?
00:46.49znfI'm assuming no?
00:47.16Gnarfozerr, I'm not sure what you're asking
00:47.50znfthe Target
00:47.51Gnarfoz(I'm thinking the answer is yes)
00:48.08Gnarfozour entire SAN works that way
00:48.32znfHow does it actually work?
00:48.34Gnarfozthe storage virtualization software provides the targets over FC
00:48.47znfIs there any free/open-source software that does that?
00:49.06Gnarfozgood question, no idea
00:49.37znfam I correct to assume that FC is just the physical layer, but the underlying tech is actually iSCSI?
00:50.29GnarfozAFAIK, iSCSI and FC are not related
00:51.06znfhttp://linux-iscsi.org/wiki/LIO
00:51.36GnarfozFC is about 10 years or so older than iSCSI
00:52.06znfmkay, let me ask you something else, then
00:52.25znfis FC as fast as having the disks connected directly to your SATA ports, for example?
00:52.32Gnarfozpretty much, yes
00:53.04quiescensare you still working on the same base thingy as last time
00:53.06Gnarfoz(I haven't looked at benchmarks :D)
00:53.22znfquiescens: no
00:53.31znfjust trying to get some more information
00:54.24znfGnarfoz: so, basically, I would just need a "storage" server with an FC adapter (the ql2xxx ones), and then each of my initiators would need a FC adapter, too, right?
00:54.41Gnarfoztbh, I have a narrow window as well, we use only FC and have stopped using IB a few years ago (only use was an Oracle cluster interconnect because of RDMA); no hands-on iSCSI or SOMETHINGoE)
00:54.53Gnarfozsounds about right
00:55.13znfalso a switch
00:55.15Gnarfozthat LIO thing looks like it'd "play" the target in software
00:55.36znfyup
00:55.39Gnarfozyou don't technically need a switch, if you have enough ports
00:55.58Gnarfoz(or few enough servers)
00:56.28znfI don't see HBAs with 4 ports tough, so I don't have enough :P

00:56.42Gnarfozby see I'm assuming you mean ebay ^^
00:56.50znfamazon
00:56.59Gnarfozbecause we've just thrown a bunch of them away ;X
00:57.07znfwith 4 ports? :-|
00:57.11Gnarfozyeah
00:57.17znf8gbps/port?
00:57.18Gnarfozwell, those were 4GFC
00:57.33GnarfozI think the 8GFC quad ports are mostly still in use
00:58.10znfwould still have been nice to experiment :P
00:58.18Gnarfozfewer and fewer boxes that have direct FC connectivity now ^^ the vsphere hosts just have 2x dual 16G FC
00:58.44Gnarfoz(which was also overkill, 2x1 would have been enough, that was just for redundancy)
00:58.53znfmultipath and stuff
00:59.04Gnarfoznot even that, the ports are just unconnected
00:59.09Gnarfozso yes, multipath, of course
00:59.10znfheh
00:59.13Gnarfoz2 of 4 ports are in use
00:59.35Gnarfozbut you don't really want to have a total of 2 ports and from a single HBA
00:59.49Gnarfozand two 1-port HBAs sounded silly on paper and wasn't really cheaper, either
01:00.10Gnarfozso... 2x2 \o/
01:00.18znfQle2564 seems expensive-ish tough :-/
01:00.37Gnarfozyeah, not really cheap new
01:00.58Gnarfozprobably a lot cheaper to pick up some 10 GbE NICs and do iSCSI
01:01.08znfor FCoE!
01:01.10Gnarfozor FCoE in software?
01:01.11Gnarfozheh
01:01.14znfnot looking for them new tough
01:01.50GnarfozList Price: $3,465.00
01:01.51Gnarfozlolol
01:02.22znfhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/Qlogic-QLE2564-Quad-Port-FC-HBA-8GB-SFP-Gebraucht-QLE-2562-SUN-DELL-IBM-/142148596126?hash=item2118b7719e:g:TQUAAOSwXeJYD05q
01:02.23znfmore like
01:02.50Gnarfozthat's more appropriate

01:04.13znfso if I can get some funding for one of those "superservers" from SuperMicro, the 3U things that host 4x servers + I could reuse one of my old servers...
01:04.35znfyeah, that's expensive
01:06.18znfFreeBSD also seems to support this just fine https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/46591/
01:09.09Gnarfozactually, that one is super cheap, the same one with all 24 ports licensed goes for >1500€ on ebay o_o
01:09.29Gnarfozwhich is kind of amazing, but it's probably the licenses that cause that (or people are just insane)
01:10.03znf"licensed"?
01:10.15Gnarfozanyway, for fucking around, even 2G FC or 4G FC should be enough, that shit must be basically free?
01:10.42znfI'd rather go straight for 8G tough
01:10.54Gnarfozyeah, buy 24 port chassis, only pay for 8 ports until you need more, blah
01:10.55znfthose are individual 8G ports, right?
01:11.11Gnarfozwhich is "those"? the switch I linked?
01:11.19znfno, the HBA I linked
01:11.23Gnarfozoh
01:11.33Gnarfozhmm, yeah, QLE2564 should be 4x 8GB
01:11.33znfI mean, when cards have multiple ports, each port is 8G, right?
01:11.38znfcool
01:11.59Gnarfozlol that product description
01:12.04Gnarfoz"Es handelt sich hierbei um einen professionellen 8G Quad Port FC HBAe für den PCIe x8 Anschluss. Batterien dürfen nicht in den Hausmüll gegeben werden. Sie sind zur Rückgabe gebrauchter Batterien als Endverbraucher gesetzlich verpflichtet."
01:12.10znfis german, I don't know
01:13.08Gnarfozfirst sentence: "This is a professional 8G quad port FC HBA with PCI-E x8 connection. Battries do not belong into your household garbage. As a consumer, you are legally required to return used batteries."
01:13.13Gnarfoztotal non-sequitur xD
01:13.37znfbatteries?!
01:14.01Gnarfozsomeone probably had a stroke while copy/pasta-ing the description
01:14.11Gnarfozno idea, this thing doesn't use batteries :D
01:14.51znfwait, do those include the SFP modules? it seems a SFP module is required
01:15.21Gnarfozyeah, just came across that in the description, this one includes 4 finisar SFPs
01:15.41znfah yes, full description mentions SFP
01:15.46Gnarfoz- Worldwirde shipping: 39,90 Eur
01:15.49Gnarfozherp derp
01:16.03Gnarfozwhy do you want to go down this rabbit hole again? ^^
01:16.18znfour Investor insists on a new client
01:16.28znf...that wants VMs with 96GB RAM
01:16.43znfand I don't have any reliable system that does 96GB+ ram
01:16.50znfso I told him we don't have any unless we buy
01:17.03znfand he's like, "I'll convince the other shareholders, then"
01:17.11znfI'll get him the info
01:18.28znfbut you are right
01:18.32znf10Gbit adapters are cheaper
01:18.55znfeven CNAs are somewhat cheaper
01:19.02znfbut then you'd also need a 10Gbit switch, so...
01:20.43znfyeah, a fucking QL8200 is ~80€
01:33.43znfthank you Gnarfoz for allowing me to pick your brain \o/

11:21.49FiskerHot Gnarfoz
11:22.17Gnarfozactually, that one's been cold for quite a while now :|
11:23.50znfgive
11:23.53znf8G? :D
11:25.18znfoh
11:25.19znf16G
11:25.32Gnarfoznah
11:25.34GnarfozQLE2562
11:25.43znfyup, I noticed
11:26.17Gnarfozsomeone fix this weird computer issue, how do Outlook and Internet Explorer work, but not Firefox
11:26.34Gnarfozmust be some DNS shit, because nslookup can't even look up things
11:26.44Gnarfozbut how do IE and Outlook work, then ~_~
11:27.16znfproxy?
11:28.18Gnarfoznope (tried both explicity "no proxy" and system settings (which is set to no proxy as well)
11:28.35GnarfozI don't even get an error, just a white page
11:28.46Gnarfoz(it's set to display the homepage on startup, so that's already wrong)
11:29.11nevcairielDid you try turning it off and on again?
11:29.16GnarfozI bet a router restart would fix it, but it's my uncle's shit 500 km away
11:29.43Gnarfozand since he recently switched to IPTV (again, funnily enough) and VDSL, and got a new router, I don't have access to do that
11:30.08Gnarfoz(also, even opening the router's page by IP in Firefox doesn't work)
11:30.21nevcairielpresumably he complained and asked for help, so just tell him to power cycle
11:30.22Gnarfozperhaps it's some shit like smartscreen and if it can't reach it, it doesn't do anything
11:30.44znfEvent Viewer?
11:30.56Gnarfozyeah I did, for the PC, until I gave up trying to decipher his descriptions of what's going on ("Firefox doesn't work anymore") and remoted in
11:31.24Gnarfozhe left for now, I told him to unplug/re-plug his router when he gets back
11:31.41Gnarfoz(perhaps I should add his wi-fi repeater to that list, but... since I can remote in, something must be working, lol)
11:34.31Gnarfozallegedly, he has both an ipv4 and an ipv6 address, but that's via IE, which suspiciously works
11:34.53Gnarfozearlier, it showed he didn't have an ipv4 address, on another website for that kind of thing
11:34.57Gnarfozmaybe the website sucked :D
11:35.19Gnarfozmy guess is the DNS resolver cache on his router died or something
11:35.43Gnarfoz(but then... if I tell nslookup to use a specific server, that should work around that, and it doesn't. it's just bizarro)
11:42.10FiskerRip internet
11:43.02Gnarfoz(already ran MBAM, doesn't look like there's malware involved -- and why would that block Firefox, but not IE, of all things ^^)
11:43.22FiskerI'm gonna hack this fucking activation system
11:44.04Gnarfozyou better
11:44.53quiescensgasp
12:00.35GnarfozI'm afraid if I turn off ipv6 on the network interface that I'll shut myself out ^^
12:00.49quiescens^^
12:02.22Gnarfozhte only thing I see constantly going on is a NetBIOS name query for what is probably his printer
12:03.22Gnarfozdoing nslookup google.com 8.8.4.4 doesn't even appear in Wireshark, it just does an icmpv6 neighbor discovery
12:04.04quiescenscheck hosts file mebeh
12:04.11Gnarfozfirst thing, it's empty
12:04.20Gnarfoz(and nslookup doesn't care for that anyway)
12:04.25quiescensiuno what you've tried ):
12:04.37Gnarfozof course not
12:04.49GnarfozI can ping 8.8.8.8 and it's doing that over ipv4, so wtf
12:05.32Gnarfozit even resolved 8.8.8.8 into the hostname when I did tracert 8.8.8.8, soooo
12:05.46quiescenstest firefox with network.dns.disableipv6 = true
12:06.03quiescensjust as a diagnostic thingy, at least you can do that without potentially disconnectin yourself
12:06.04Gnarfozoh yeah, saw that earlier while going through about:config, I'll give that a try
12:06.57Gnarfozwish Windows allowed to kick out dns servers you obtained via dhcp
12:06.59Gnarfoz(but it doesn't)
12:07.23Gnarfoz(no effect, sadly. doesn't Firefox just gethostbyname() anyway and let the OS handle it?)
12:08.25Gnarfozif it was network shares not working, I'd be quick to assume that somehow, some inept device like an old printer won the SMB master browser election
12:10.41quiescenswhat os anyway?
12:12.56znfmacows 10
12:13.42quiescensmoo
12:20.00Gnarfozwin7
12:20.18Gnarfozand I can actually see DNS working... somewhat
12:20.25Gnarfozno idea why Firefox doesn't use it
12:20.35Gnarfozor why nslookup fails to do anything
12:21.00znfgremlins, man, gremlins
12:21.01nevcairieli assume you did a flushdns on the box
12:21.11Gnarfozyeah, also rebooted twice now
12:21.38Gnarfozreally odd
12:21.59GnarfozI'll stop wasting my time and wait until he resets his upstream network devices

12:25.31Gnarfoz(Network Connectivity Status Indicator)
12:25.45quiescensclose enough
12:26.16Gnarfozmy wireshark filter has grown a bit https://hastebin.com/raw/nosajihezu
12:30.00Gnarfozalso, what on earth is "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter "
12:31.50Gnarfozwifi hotspot? whaaat
12:32.30Gnarfozgtfo, but changed nothing :P
13:08.58GnarfozChrome Portable works as well. I spent way more time on this than I probably should have :p
13:09.40znfGnarfoz, it's used for Microsoft Virtual WiFi stuff
13:09.45znfyes, hotspot
13:09.56znfyou should just sfc that thing
13:10.08Gnarfoz(I wouldn't have guessed "it's for virtual wifi" from the name, duh :P)
13:10.32Gnarfozno idea why that would be present, though. probably some wifi driver force-installed it (or worse)
13:10.33znfI figured you needed some help
13:10.38Gnarfozwell duh :D
13:10.52Gnarfozlots of dead ends
13:10.59Gnarfozsfc is probably an option
13:11.00znfyou have to enable internet sharing and shit like that for it to be created/added
13:11.05quiescenstry a fresh profile on ff as well?
13:11.27GnarfozI read that some wifi drivers also make it appear, but then I'm usually the only person doing stuff like *that* on his computer, so... I should know
13:11.49GnarfozI kept that for later, because tbh, I don't know, off the top of my head, how to get his bookmarks back after doing that
13:11.50znf*shrug*
13:11.51Gnarfozhe has a ton ^^
13:12.02quiescensi'm not saying delete anything
13:12.14znfto upgrade to 128GB RAM per NODE
13:12.15znfis £240 per node so for 4 nodes £960
13:12.18Gnarfozthe "refresh firefox" thing does say it will reset it to basically freshly installed
13:12.25Gnarfozwhich, I assume, includes bookmarks
13:12.27znfuhm, so 960gbp to upgrade the whole chasis to 128GB ram
13:12.33znf:-S
13:12.38znf>xau 960 gbp to eur
13:12.39Catal1na960.00 gbp = 1074.82 eur
13:12.41Gnarfozguess I could enable firefox sync beforehand and have it pull them back down afterward
13:12.43quiescensi just mean run it with -profilemanager
13:12.52quiescensand then create a second profile
13:12.54Gnarfozoh, netscape relics like that still exist? I guess
13:14.01silentiumif you want to run multiple instances of firefox at the same time, the "-no-remote" parameter helps you
13:14.25silentium"-profilemanager" can be written shorter with "-P"
13:14.56Gnarfoznah, no luck
13:16.31quiescenswell, it probably isn't any kind of firefox setting gone awry then
13:20.24znfexport bookmarks
13:20.27znfnuke it from orbit
13:33.13Gnarfozis mozbackup still the best for that?

13:41.47GnarfozI don't really see Firefox much these days unless I'm at my parents' place
13:41.49Gnarfoz:P
13:42.28Gnarfoz(btw, firefox sync not an option: "must be connected to the internet to sign up/in" :P
13:42.45Gnarfozbut a new profile didn't change anything, so... I'm not sure what I'd gain
13:43.08GnarfozSFC did "something" (CBS.log is way too big to figure out if it was anything worthwhile)
13:43.23Gnarfoznothing like wasting half a day fucking around with random Windows things
13:45.12quiescensi use firefox ):
13:45.27Gnarfozstill doesn't explain why nslookup won't work properly; I remain at least half-convinced that Firefox is just a victim ^^
13:45.49quiescensi doubt its firefox itself either if a new profile didn't fix anything
13:50.18quiescensiuno what would possibly affect nslookup
13:50.31quiescensfirewall?
13:55.24GnarfozI checked the Windows firewall and found a "block firefox on public networks" rule, but his network is set to home; also, I deleted that rule and nothing changed either
13:55.50Gnarfozwent looking for the DNS UDP rules as well, and those didn't look out of place, but I can't really say how they're supposed to look, either
13:56.20Gnarfozat least his Windows Update seems to have unfucked itself since I last visited him... it was kind of dead back then ^^
13:56.48nevcairielgetting WU working on a fresh win7 install needs quite a bit of manual effort these days already
13:56.58nevcairielneed to update the WU client manually, or it'll work terribly
14:08.59GnarfozI can't really call this install fresh, though
14:09.03GnarfozI don't even know how old it is :D
14:09.34GnarfozI only know his CPU fan/heatsink is in desparate need of attention
14:10.04Gnarfozit's like a jet turbine and goes up to idk, 5000+ rpm when going near 50% cpu usage
14:10.12Gnarfozprobably not seated properly or something
14:11.18quiescensits probably installed fine and just isn't very good
14:11.26Gnarfoztbh, he really needs the HDD -> SSD + Win10 treatment, he's the only one left with neither of those

19:00.20Gnarfozon my uncle's laptop, dns works... but it works differently than I'd expect
19:02.19Gnarfozok, there was an odd primary dns suffix configured outside of dhcp
19:02.40*** join/#wowace silentium (silentium@unaffiliated/silentium)
19:03.07Gnarfozshame, had hope that meant the router was misconfigured :}
19:30.03znfso, uhm, I have one of those split AC thingies
19:30.08znfwith the unit outside and the thingie inside
19:30.21znfthere are strong winds around here and it's blowing hard in the unit outside
19:30.26znfmaking noise on the inside...
19:30.28znfthe fuck?
19:32.19Primerit's about to explode
19:32.22Primeryou better leave
19:34.20znfit's off...
19:38.16Gnarfozdoes that stop it from exploding? :D
19:38.35Gnarfozalso, I disabled the firewall, did a ipconfig /release + /renew cycle, disabled ipv6 on the wifi adapter
19:38.51Gnarfozstill, nslookup claims it can't tell what the router's hostname is
19:39.03Gnarfozsomething's severly fucked with DNS on this machine :(
19:39.14Gnarfoz(arp -d * as well, for good measure)
19:41.16Primernsloolup knowing what the router's hostname would imply a properly setup PRT record
19:41.20PrimerPTR, even
19:41.22Gnarfozindeed
19:41.59Gnarfozas usual, the router does dhcp, and serves itself as the dns server to the dhcp clients via dhcp option... 15 or whatever it is
19:42.34Gnarfozregular case: everything works :D
19:42.42Gnarfozthis case: client pc can't resolve shit
19:42.53Gnarfozwell
19:42.58Gnarfoznslookup and firefox can't
19:43.09Gnarfozbut Chrome, Internet Explorer, Outlook and Windows Update can?
19:43.21znfGnarfoz, malware
19:43.25Primernaw
19:43.25GnarfozI have no idea what those groups of things share
19:43.34GnarfozI already ran MBAM twice this afternoon
19:44.04Gnarfozyes, his Internet Explorer had some thing that set his search engine to Yahoo of all things, but I think that was about it
19:44.07Gnarfozrocket... search?
19:44.08PrimerDoesn't nslookup tell you what server it's using when it performs a query?
19:44.12Gnarfozit does
19:44.15GnarfozUnKnown
19:44.20Gnarfoz(router's IP)
19:44.33Gnarfozhence, it can't be talking to the router, or it would be able to resolve that
19:44.45Gnarfoz(that being the router's IP to the router's hostname)
19:44.53Primerwhat about ipconfig /flushdns?
19:45.09Gnarfozalready done (+rebooted a couple of times); see above if you have scrollback
19:45.21GnarfozI am kind of inclined to agree with znf at this point
19:45.29Primerturn off firewall?
19:45.48Primertcpdump on the router
19:45.50Primeretc...
19:45.51Gnarfozdid that 7 minutes ago
19:45.56Gnarfoztcpdump on router, ha, that'd be nice
19:46.01Primerblack box?
19:46.17Gnarfozis there any other kind ;)
19:46.18Primeryou got a proper switch? clone the port and tcpdump it?
19:46.22Gnarfozlol
19:46.30Gnarfozthis is not an enterprise situation, but lord I wish it was
19:46.31Primeryeah, I run a Linux box as my NAT gateway
19:46.49Gnarfozthis is my 72 year old uncle's home PC
19:46.51Gnarfoz^^
19:46.53Primermakes life a lot easier when shit like you're describing happens
19:47.00Primerhaha
19:47.17PrimerI'd just put on my "No, I will not fix your computer" shirt on and </mic drop>
19:47.31Gnarfozwould Chrome, IE and Outlook use other routines to do DNS resolution?
19:47.41PrimerI know chrome can do its own dns
19:47.48GnarfozI mean, I'm halfway inclined to believe something is maliciously blocking DNS at this point
19:48.04PrimerSome AVs install a local DNS
19:48.09Gnarfozyeah, but... that then begs the question at which point is DNS being fucked with if nslookup of all things doesn't work
19:48.14Primerand requests are always redirected to it
19:48.16Gnarfozjust MS Security Essentials
19:48.35Gnarfozthat... does have realtime network protection, though, not sure if I can turn that off
19:48.41Primerredirected at the network, that is
19:49.15Primerrun wireshark on the machine, see if the packets are making it to the wire?
19:49.47PrimerNot sure how windows would deal with that. I know that on Linux, packets are seen on the wire before hitting the firewall.
19:50.54GnarfozI ran Wireshark this afternoon, and... I actually don't recall :p I think it was mostly inconclusive :D
19:51.35Gnarfozdisabling MSSE realtime protection: no deal, adding nslookup and firefox to excluded processes: no deal
19:51.50Gnarfoznow where did I put my wireshark display filter
19:53.05znfGnarfoz, did you try resetting the network stack completely?
19:53.14znfnetsh reset
19:53.14znf?
19:54.44Gnarfozhm
19:54.47Gnarfozwhat exactly does that do?
19:55.11Gnarfozsounds like a good thing, but I do have to take precaution not to shut myself out (I'm doing this from 500 km away, after all)
19:55.32Primerforesees Gnarfoz calling his uncle soon
19:55.52Gnarfozdoes it end up disconnected from ALL the things? ^^

19:58.28znfGnarfoz, afaik yes
19:58.47Gnarfozdoes it make it forget wifi keys?
19:58.54znfthat I do not know
19:59.03GnarfozPrimer: well, no, wireshark doesn't see nslookup's feeble attempts at doing DNS
19:59.29Gnarfozbut it does see Windows' built-in connectivity indicator thing (msftncsi.com) do DNS lookups fine
20:00.04Gnarfozand Chrome (portable) does various lookups to display a website, as well
20:00.15Gnarfozso... whatever it is, it's local :|
20:00.29Gnarfoz(and firefox -profilmanager to use a new profile was also tested earlier, no dice)
20:00.40Gnarfozso... it's honestly back to "WTF" or "malware" :D
20:00.53GnarfozI'd like to try netsh reset, but I have no idea what state that leaves the system in
20:01.02GnarfozI mean... at most, it could forget the wifi key, I guess?

20:01.31Gnarfozeven though I'm more than full :p
20:01.59Primerperform the equivalent of strace on the process, and see where the socket is going (IMO)
20:02.20PrimerI've used that program on windows before. It's a bitch setting up filters.
20:02.40PrimerAnd if you don't filter, you basically have to scroll through 1m lines of stuff
20:03.04Primerwhich is why I love cli. strace -f -e bind foo 2>&1 | grep whatever
20:03.08Gnarfozstrace doesn't exist on windows, I'm not sure what the most useful equivalent would be. probably some crazy ETW monster.
20:03.11Primeranyhow, meeting
20:03.19Primerit's something from sys internals
20:03.27Primerthe makers of process exploder
20:03.32PrimerI don't recall the name
20:03.33Gnarfozprocmon I tried, but that doesn't really show syscalls
20:03.36Primerthat
20:03.52Gnarfozit doesn't do that level
20:03.59Primerpretty sure it does
20:04.00Gnarfoz(and process hacker > process explorer! :D)

20:04.55Gnarfozor, well, that'd be the treatment.
20:44.41Gnarfozgot it, but saldy, I probably won't know what the fuck was the problem
20:44.55Gnarfozdid too many things in one step
20:45.06Gnarfozbut I have a strong suspicion
20:46.47znfnetsh reset
20:46.48znf:D
20:47.08Gnarfozdidn't do that one
20:47.35Gnarfozthere were some "Winsock Layered Service Provider"s in play
20:47.43GnarfozI'm very inclined to blame them
20:48.05*** join/#wowace Lynxium (~Lynxium@bzq-109-64-120-49.red.bezeqint.net)
20:48.31GnarfozI used "API monitor v2" to get on this particular track
20:48.51Gnarfozhttp://www.rohitab.com/apimonitor
20:49.40Gnarfozbut I also uninstalled some other old shit that wasn't relevant anymore, Palm drivers (yes, for an actual Palm PDA), Zune drivers (SAME, WTF)
20:50.02Gnarfozsaw some references to HP in autoruns and services, but no HP printers were in use anymore, so I gutted most of that as well
20:50.23Gnarfoz(one of them is hpzinw12.dll, "Dot4net module", well, who knows)
20:57.15znfhuh, I have a gift https://i.imgur.com/cFd0AWV.png
20:57.29Gnarfozyeah, bnet beta flagged people got that
20:58.34winkI read: everyone, but no clue
20:58.59Megalonnon-beta people got it too
21:06.21Gnarfozanyway, that API monitor thing made nslookup look like some 20 module/thread monstrosity
21:06.27Gnarfozwhen it's normally a single one
21:06.38Gnarfozbecause it was pumped full of DLL-injected things
21:07.30Gnarfoz(not sure if it was only the one, or more, but)
21:07.36Gnarfozprimarily: gfklspservice.dll
21:07.53Gnarfozwhich is ironic, since GfK is kind of who I work for
21:08.20Gnarfoz(but not really, we're a daughter company)
21:08.31Gnarfozanyway, as a market research company, they do stuff like... research what people buy
21:08.35Gnarfozand how they like what they bought
21:08.53Gnarfozand such crap
21:09.59Gnarfozand my uncle (entirely unrelated to my job :P, he started doing that before I even had a job) was one of their... contributors? (well, they paid him for his troubles) I guess that technically makes him at least a contractor or something :P
21:10.25Gnarfozanyway, he had a barcode scanner and regularly scanned all his shopping and answered questionnaires and shit
21:10.58Gnarfozbut he ragequit that like 2 years ago or so (after several years of doing it) because it was getting on his nerves, but of course, none of that software was ever uninstalled
21:11.04Gnarfoz(hardware detached, though)
21:11.22Gnarfozthat DLL is part of that software :|
21:11.52Gnarfozand I found 5? Winsock LSPs with Systinernals Autoruns
21:12.58Gnarfozall labeled "GacelaLSP over [MSAFD/TCPIP]" or /UDP or /TCPv6 or whatever
21:14.56Gnarfozhttps://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201507/msg00199.html this suggests that that's rather invasive
21:14.58Gnarfoz(no shit)
21:15.34nevcairielthe more interesting question, why did they start breaking his internet now
21:16.08Gnarfozyeah, that's the only bit I can't quite pin down, if this was actually the culprit (which I'm rather convinced of)
21:16.52Gnarfozsimilar information could be found for nuragolspservice.dll, which is part of GfK Internet Monitor (which he doesn't and never had installed)... but Nurago is... nowadays... also a daughter company of GfK! :D
21:17.11Gnarfoz(and they're from Hannover as well, which is quite near to where mr. uncle lives, as well)
21:17.44nevcairielbasically, you work for evil internet breaking people?
21:17.57Gnarfozno idea why a software that does "scan barcodes, upload report" and "auto-update self" needs to super-deep hook winsock
21:18.06Gnarfozwell, only indirectly. :D
21:19.01GnarfozI'm going to assume that either a certificate of some kind expired
21:19.16Gnarfozor maybe MS security essentials or windows update broke it?
21:19.37Gnarfozor it was actually terrible enough to have to speak to some internet server and that was turned off? (that doesn't really make much sense)
21:20.28Gnarfozhttp://www.herdprotect.com/nuragolspservice64.dll-291ab8f89d2d8720c91db7323064c3c8461974eb.aspx not the correct DLL, but they do seem to have used relatively short certificate durations
21:20.40Gnarfoz(which should normally be considered a good thing (tm))
21:22.09Gnarfozwho the hell even is gacela
21:22.09nevcairielsoftware certificates should not stop software from running if they expire, because that would be a terrible thing
21:22.20Gnarfozwell, if they know what timestamping is...
21:23.07GnarfozPrimer: ^
21:23.48Gnarfozat this point, I'm of course just relieved I managed to fix it; sadly, as usual, the final breakthrough happened by virtue of doing several things at once, so you won't ever be sure what the problem was.
21:24.48GnarfozI could of course try and find out, among our 14k? employees if someone knows how that shit software worked :D
21:28.45Gnarfozalmost tempted to download that client and install it in a VM
21:29.23Gnarfozinstalling the hyper-v option still replaces the kernel with a special one, doesn't it?
21:29.39Gnarfozand disables speedstep and turboboost and such?
21:29.54nevcairielthink so, which is why i use vbox
21:30.18Primerinteresting
21:36.41Phixionintersting, Gnarfoz
21:43.29znfI just pirate vmware
21:43.48znfvbox always managed to fuck me up
21:44.11znfsame install works fine for a few months, then USB breaks randomly
21:44.31znfevery time I gave it a chance it failed me :D
21:46.21nevcairieli use it at least a couple times a week and its been fine
21:46.50znfI depend on the USB functionality most of the time, and that's the only thing breaking
21:46.59znfotherwise it works fine
21:47.01nevcairieli dont think i ever use that
21:47.16znfit randomly decides to stop attaching stuff to the vm
21:50.16znfit's weird because it detaches the usb device from the host, tries to attach it to the guest, but nothing happens
21:50.18znfjust errors out
21:50.26znfsaying that the device is busy most of the time
21:53.36Gnarfozwell, NOT TODAY, in any case.

21:54.04GnarfozI'm kind of amazed I coud even track it down, in the end
21:55.06Gnarfoz(even though there still remains the "why now?"... I guess when I'm bored enough to figure that out, I should grab the old installer of that software from his PC. a more recent one would have a non-zero chance of not having this problem)
