Susurrus, Diplomat Negotiator DnD 3.5 10Th Level Bard

This is gaming information for the Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 edition when Susurrus made a memorable appearance in the campaign I was running. It wasn't the first time the characters had actually encountered him, but it was the first time they took note of him, and the encounter has been a part of our gaming story ever since.

In brief, they encountered was Susurrus standing on the side of the road next to a canopy with a spread of food. He greeted the party members by name and informed them he was there to negotiate reparations for a loss that had happened because of the actions of the party on a previous adventure. He asked them to remain calm and not cause his companions in hiding concern.

Amulets & Armor (MS-DOS) - Guest Post

This week on Super Adventures, guest poster mecha-neko is playing a DOS RPG from 1997! He rarely ever writes about RPGs, so this one must be something... special.

For a change, instead of playing something weird that I've never played before, I'm going to play something I'm very familiar with from my childhood.

Developer:

United Software Artists

Release Date:

January 1997
(re-released 26th April 2013)

Systems:

MS-DOS, Windows

This is Amulets & Armor. It's an RPG! Except it's not. It's an FPS! Except it's not. And it's multiplayer, except it's not. It's a little of everything.

I've been meaning to play and write about this game for years, but I've never felt like I'd be able to do it justice. When I was but a lad and loved playing shareware demos on the family PC (alright, I still do), I would play the one level demo of this a lot. I liked the ambience and the cartoons in Interpose, but Amulets & Armor is the game I actually played.

I only had the demo back then, but it was re-released in 2013 as a free full game for both MS-DOS and Windows, with the source code available for boffins as well. If you'd like to hear a little bit about why you've never heard of the game, click here, but I'll be focusing on just playing the full DOS version today.

Resident Evil 2 Remake | Review, Trailer, Release Date, News, Gameplay, and more...

Capcom is releasing some extremely impressive games in 2019, Resident Evil 2 Remake is one of them. The Resident Evil 2 Remake isn't too far-away, set to release on 25 January 2019 (soon after its release, Capcom is releasing Devil May Cry 5). First declared in 2015, Resident Evil 2 Remake is planned as an advanced emphasis of the 1998 release. Fans have been asking for the game for a very long time, and following the accomplishment of the first Resident Evil and Zero remasters, Capcom is at long last tuning in.

Quick Facts:

Release date: 25 January 2019
Developer: Capcom
Genre: Survival horror
Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows

Resident Evil 2 Remake release date :

The remake was declared at E3 2018 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC and will release on January 25, 2019, Just before Capcom's Devil May Cry 5 Release. So entirely excited for both the games.

Related Article: Devil May Cry 5: Review, Trailer, Gameplay, Release date

Resident Evil 2 Remake Trailers :

Tokyo Games Show 2018 has presented to us another trailer for Resident Evil 2 Remake, and this one spotlights for the most part on the story. We see a lot of Leon and Claire previously however Capcom had been generally silent regarding certain characters in the Resident Evil 2 Remake, one of these being Ada Wong, The opponent has at long last divulged it. It likewise has us frantically needing a reboot of Dino Crisis in the RE Engine.

Just underneath, you can look at a further trailer for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. This trailer appeared amidst Sony's E3 2018 introduction in June, and it was here that the release date for the game was revealed.

Resident Evil 2 Remake Claire Campaign Preview:

Following quite a while of pausing, Capcom is at long last coming back to its undead well and redoing what many consider to be Resident Evil's most remarkable part. Initially released for the PS1 in 1998, it's not the most straightforward title to return to with its cumbersome tank controls and blocky visuals. It's as notorious as survival repulsiveness comes. Be that as it may, the fans who discovered Resident Evil arrangement with Resident Evil 4 or later ones probably won't concur with its traditional way to deal with problems.

This could all change with Resident Evil 2 Remake, Playing through two individual battles as arrangement's veterans Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, you'll scour the remnants of Raccoon City in the midst of a fatal zombie episode, revealing reality behind the underhanded Umbrella Corporation.

Here's the Gameplay from IGN, if you wish to watch.

Resident Evil 2 Remake: Minimum PC Specs

Operating System: WINDOWS 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (64-BIT Required)
Processor: Intel Core i5-4460, 2.70GHz or AMD FX-6300 or better
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon R7 260x with 2GB Video RAM

Resident Evil 2 Remake: Recommended PC Specs

Operating System: WINDOWS 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (64-BIT Required)
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 or AMD FX-9590 or better
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 480 with 3GB VRAM
DirectX: Version 11

Resident Evil 2 Remake: Leon Campaign Preview

Fans, for what feels like the longest time, have been shouting for a Resident Evil 2 Remake, to such an extent that they willingly volunteered make one quite a long while prior before Capcom put a stop to it for reasons that have now turned out to be clear. Capcom's new Resident Evil 2 is everything fans have ever needed it to be, it can possibly be the apex of what the great vision of the arrangement could plan to turn into. Prepare to reemerge the universe of survival awfulness in its most genuine shape.

The short interactivity demo at E3 2018 happens in the police headquarters, and it's quickly clear this isn't simply Resident Evil 2 with prettier graphics, on account of the RE Engine. Capcom needs to make a Resident Evil 2 that plays with fan desires, in this way things will look recognizable, yet feel somewhat extraordinary.

One thing I can most likely say that the game will be unimaginably startling, as zombies will spring up in new places to keep you continually alarmed.

The below 18-minute extended Gameplay from Gamespot completely shows how the zombies are gonna be and how they are going to keep you petrified every moment.

Nmap: Getting Started Guide

Nmap is a free utility tool for network discovery, port scanning and security auditing, even though we can use it for more than that but in this article we will learn how to do these three things with nmap.

The original author of nmap is Gordon Lyon (Fyodor). Nmap is licensed under GPL v2 and has available ports in many different languages. Nmap is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. You can download your copy of nmap from their website.

Lets get started with nmap.

When performing pentests we always look for networks we are going to attack. We need to identify live hosts on the network so that we can attack them. There are plenty of tools available for finding live hosts on a network but nmap is one of the best tools for doing this job.

Lets start with simple host (target) discovery scans i,e scans that will tell us which ip address is up on our target network. Those ip addresses which are up on our target network are the ones that are assigned to a device connected on our target network. Every device on the network is going to have a unique ip address.
To perform a simple host discovery scan we use the following command

nmap -v -sn 10.10.10.0/24

flags we used in the above command are
-v for verbose output
-sn to disable port scan (we don't want to scan for ports right now)

Following the flags is the ip address of the target network on which we want to look for live hosts. The /24 at the end of the ip address is the CIDR that specifies the subnet of the network on which we are looking for live hosts.

After running the above command you should get a list of live hosts on your target network.
If you just want to know the list of ip addresses your command is going to scan, you can use the -sL flag of the nmap like this.

nmap -sL 10.10.10.0/24

this command will simply output the list of ip addresses to scan.

We sometimes want to do dns resolution (resolving ip addresses to domain names) when performing our network scans and sometimes we don't want dns resolution. While performing a host discovery scan with nmap if we want to perform dns resolution we use -R flag in our command like this:

nmap -v -sn -R 10.10.10.0/24

And if we don't want to perform dns resolution of hosts during our scan we add the -n flag to our command like this:

nmap -v -sn -n 10.10.10.0/24

After we have discovered the hosts that are up on our target network, we usually put the ip addresses of these hosts into a file for further enumeration.

Next step in our enumeration would be to detect which operating system and which ports are running on these live hosts, for that we run this command:

nmap -O -v 10.10.10.119

here we use -O (capital o not zero) for operating system detection and by default nmap performs SYN Scan for port discovery. However nmap scans for 1000 ports only by default of a particular host.

To make nmap go over a list of ip addresses in a file we use -iL flag like this:

nmap -O -v -iL targetlist

where targetlist is the name of the file which contains ip addresses that we want to perform port scan on.

To make nmap scan all the ports of a target we use the -p flag like this:

nmap -p- -v 10.10.10.121

We can also specify a range of ports using the -p flag like this:

nmap -p1-500 -v 10.10.10.121

here 1-500 means scan all the ports from 1 to 500.

We can use a number of scan techniques to discover open ports on our network but I will only discuss some of them for brevity.

We can perform a TCP SYN scan using nmap with -sS flag like this:

nmap -sS -v 10.10.10.150

We have also flags for TCP connect and ACK scans which are -sT -sA

nmap -sT -v 10.10.10.150

nmap -sA -v 10.10.10.150

We can also perform UDP scan as well instead of TCP scan using -sU flag

nmap -sU -v 10.10.10.150

We can perform TCP Null, FIN, and Xmas scans using the flags -sN, -sF, -sX

nmap -sN -v 10.10.10.150

nmap -sF -v 10.10.10.150

nmap -sX -v 10.10.10.150

If you don't know what these scans are then please visit Port Scanning Techniques and Algorithms for explanation.

After discovering the open ports on our target host, we want to enumerate what services are running on those open ports. To enumerate services and versions information on open ports we use the -sV flag like this:

nmap -sV -v 10.10.10.118

This should give us information about what services are running on what ports and what versions of those services are running on the target host.

nmap has an interesting feature called NSE nmap scripting engine. It allows users to write their own scripts, using the Lua programming language, to automate a wide variety of networking tasks. nmap ships with a diverse set of scripts which are very helpful to enumerate a target. To use the nmap default set of scripts while enumerating the target, we use the -sC flag like this:

nmap -sC -sV -v 10.10.10.118

We can also save the results of our nmap scans to a file using the -o flag like this

nmap -sC -sV -v -oA defaultscan 10.10.10.119

here -oA tells the nmap to output results in the three major formats at once and defaultscan is the name of the file that will be prepended to all the three output files.

This is the end of this short tutorial see you next time.
