  1. fuzzing] The Truth by djupedal · · Score: 4, Informative · on Mac Worm Author Gets Death Threats

    [fuzzing] The truth Lance M. Havok:
    >br> "Since the cover is becoming more difficult to maintain, I've decided to stop this. It simply can't stand anymore and I can't let this harm my company and its customers.
    I am David Maynor. I made up the LMH identity for bashing Apple and appearing on the media while I was preparing for launching Errata Security with Robert. Since my credibility was severely damaged after the wireless driver exploit, I needed a sock puppet. The idea of LMH and the Month of Apple Bugs came a while after I resigned from SecureWorks."

  3. Centralized botnet control by nevesis · · Score: 5, Insightful · on Zombies Blend In With Regular Web Traffic

    The problem with zombies has always been the centralization required to control them. For example, if the zombies are controlled via IRC and all pointed at EFnet, idling in #my31337botnet -- all it takes is an EFnet admin to close the channel. So the owners routed them to private IRC servers via their IP.. but now all it takes is the owner of the box or network hosting the server to shut it down. So the owners used dns so they could move the server if needed, but now all it takes is having the domain suspended or the dns removed. And now, if these bots are just polling a website for commands - it shouldn't be difficult to close the website. This problem resonates with just about any protocol used - be it IRC, AIM/ICQ, or a website. The problem is that there are more children creating ddos nets than there are good samaritans/PO'd network admins having them shut down. So join the botnets mailing list and donate a hour a week.

  5. Incorrect Team Totals by _Stryker · · Score: 0 · on Team Slashdot leads SETI@Home

    The scripts that calculate the team totals are broken, so it is actually impossible to know how far Team Slashdot really is ahead of Microsoft. It is really starting to annoy me that they haven't fixed this yet though since it causes Team Sweden to be ranked much lower than it should be.
