I can't remember the name of the utility that lets you watch what a process is doing. You call it on a PID and you can see all the memory allocations, file IO, library loading, etc. that the process is doing as it happens. Anyone know what I'm thinking of?

I'm about to upgrade my co-locationed server from twin 2214 Opertons (dual core 2.2GHz) to

I had two server from LT for few years. I was happy with the server until 6 month ago. I got an email from LT and was told the price will be increased. I have not choice but paid what they asked. I got another email few days later, again LT increased price. I think it's fine if they increase the price. The problem I got is: LT increases the price but at same time LT still offer same package I had back to few years to their new customers. I called LT, they told me they can do nothing. Today I looked the offer carefully. Here's detail.
-------------------------------------
Dual-Processor Opteron 248$59/Month
RAM:2GB
Hard Drive(s):2 x 160GB SATA
Free upgrade to 2 x 250GB
Bandwidth:3300GB
IP Addresses:8 (5 Usable)
Notes:No Reseller Discount
Setup Fee:$999 setup
---------------------------------------
Ha, $59 not bad deal at all. But watch out, $999 setup fee. Think this, LT will increase your price two years later. Then monthly cost will be $59+$999/24=$100 OR if LT increase you price one year later, your cost will be $59+$999/12=$142. Just think twice before you order from LT.
I have recently removed my Servers from Moxie Hosting, and I think that if you are reading this you should know what this Commpany is all about..
When I signed up Last year for a year Contract, Sean Corbin, Stated to me that
they have own suite at an other location that the cage my equipment was in was tempuary, and that they would be opening a new suite, when I moved to 8th floor and was told that the that suite was their, which it was not,
Watch out for thier 100% up time, they have been having problems with power,
sence the moved and and till a week ago, they keep blaming the building, and that I would not get any recourse, because Sean Corbin has stated to me that it wasn't his fault and that not his problem,
They also stated that they have a tec on site 24/7, not true, they have an on line
tec that can remotely look at issues, but when I need to get access to my server when I need to fix a issue I had to wait for a tec to show up, and if is after hours its a longer wait because Sean Corbin has no tec on site, I have asked to worked on my server during days, he also staited that he dosn't go to suite during days, and he only works nights.
After reading numerous accounts (27 and counting) of people's domains being stolen I decided to investigate the situation more closely. What follows is my personal investigation.
Without jumping to any conclusions as to how all of these domains were hijacked, I gathered the facts and sat back to see where the common denominators were.
All of the domains had GMail accounts listed in whois.
Many of the domains were hosted with GoDaddy
Many of them had Alexa rankings of less than 10,000
While the GoDaddy connection was interesting, the fact that all of the hijacked domains had GMail accounts stood out as the real common thread.
It's still not clear how the hijacker was able to obtain access to the GMail accounts it is clear that using a GMail account for your domain registrations may not be a wise decision. We have seen infectious code on websites designed to either steal cookies or check to see if the visitor also has GMail opened in another window.
A few cases involved visiting a webpage while GMail was opened and the webpage doing a POST to a GMail interface and injecting an email filter into the visitor's GMail settings.
Typically the injection would include filters that would automatically skip the inbox and forward emails from register.com, godaddy.com and dreamhost.com to another GMail email account.
Then with forwarding set and knowledge of the registered email address, the hijacker would have use GoDaddy's website to obtain the customer number, which requires a verification email. Armed with that information, the hijacker would go back to GoDaddy and have an Authorization Code for password reset, sent to the registered email address.
The password would be sent to the email address, which would be forwarded to the hijacker and then they could move the domain to another registrar, change the website and benefit from the traffic to that website.
Or in some of these recent cases, the hijacker asked for $2,000 in order to "give" the domain back.
How did this happen?
Creating a filter in your GMail account sends a request to the GMail server farm. The request is an obfuscated URL with each section identifying the filter, the account, etc.
Many of the parameters passed in the URL can be generated accurately but one parameter needs the cookie from the account holder's computer. They can obtain this quite easily with any general cookie stealing technique (there are many).
What can you do?
For starters, this isn't the first exploit of GMail accounts. I would switch all of my domains to be registered to a different email address.
Secondly, I would pay the extra money to have your domain information listed as Private. This way your contact information will not show up on whois searches. GoDaddy offers Protected Registration if you're already listed with them.
Third, if you do use GMail, check your filters often. And check your deleted items as well. You never know what you might find in there.
Anyone here have any stories to share about domains hijacked?

After Trace route whats the next thing to do ? When my ISP dynamic IP address is some like and starts with 112.0.0.0 I cannot see all sites on the server. So what I did run a tracert on DOS prompt. After 9 hops and reach this IP 216.18.239.6 everything timed out and it cannot reach my server.
I already tested several Internet access and its reaching the server except my home DSL with the IP 112. I also checked if the IP is block on the firewall but its not present on the block list. I also mentioned this with my internet provider and still waiting for notification.

I recently moved a customer's site to a new server. Everything went smoothly except for the fact my customer cannot access the new site. When he pings it he gets the right IP address but it just times out.
The URL is regalfire.co.uk
I asked him to run a tracert command and it seems to find the right path but stops just short of finding the server. The last server he connects to is ge-5-2.the.uk.euroconnex.net [87.127.231.90] which is the same as me. The next step is the actual server but for him it just times out.
I can see the new site fine. His ISP is Virgin Media and I have asked several other customers with the same ISP and they can see the site OK.
He has flushed his DNS cache and the problem remains.
Does anyone have any ideas what I could try next?
