I beg to differ: If you don't need to subsidize it, then "it ain't culture"; it's industry

I tried a 1$ transfer using a virtual payment card (I can obtain a one time card number on my bank site limited to a specific amount, this is usefull for online purchases). I could not link this card: "Card not supported".
Too bad, i really wanted to test their service with a spoofed mail after doing first transaction normally.
There is no way I'll be providing them my real card number.

Hint: they do not brag about being PCI DSS certified (not even compliant) that certainly means they are not.
They only say: "You’re safe with us. The privacy and security of your financial information is our top priority." which is not very reassuring to say the least.

Just install a 10 years old OS and games. You'll be blown away by the performance :P

Worked for me :D

Once You attain enlightenment You'll know what to do.

That's how it is called in French :D

Manufacturing the Oldowan tool set was not for anyone either back in 2.6ma... The rest is history

And play golf

If only they did that using 3d additive printing performed by adruino/PV cells powered drones swarm that are controlled using crowd sourcing trough a cloud.

That'd be hardcore....

Technically this is called aristocracy

Here You assume 100% participation...

And Your QSA is ?

With such modest setup (~ 100 hosts), if You're a real programmer, then You should be able to handle it easely.

Task 1: learn how Ethernet technology works (for example: what a collision, why frames have certain length, why there are no crossover cables for gigabit ethernet, how 802.1q and 802.1d works). Some historical knowledge won't hurt it will give you solid bases and intuition valuable for troubleshooting.

Task 2: learn how IPv4 work, specifically stating routing. You must become proficient with netmasks (not only those containing 255's and 0's), broadcast addresses, RFC1918, NAT, TTL, and so on. At this point You do not need to bother Yourself with such things as multicast or dynamic routing.

Task 3 : learn protocols and related tools supporting IPv4: ARP, DHCP, ICMP

Task 4 : learn IPTables (this is an arbitrary choice of mine, but I like it).

Those are not steps but tasks that can be performed in parallel.

By preforming those tasks You will discover other topics of interest.

Once You are good with all that, refrain from over complicating things (read my other post:http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1244813&cid=28091781)

Don't look down on those questions. The day You try You will realize that designing good problems is *much* harder than solving them.
