The Twenty Most Critical Internet Security Holes

Ant writes: "A little over a year ago, the SANS Institute and the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) released a document summarizing the Ten Most Critical Internet Security Vulnerabilities. Thousands of organizations used that list to prioritize their efforts so they could close the most dangerous holes first. This new list, released on October 1, 2001, updates and expands the Top Ten list. With this new release, we have increased the list to the Top Twenty vulnerabilities, and we have segmented it into three categories: General Vulnerabilities, Windows Vulnerabilities, and Unix Vulnerabilities."

    We have 300 Linux machines. For example:

    12:25pm up 369 days, 15:07, 12 users, load average: 0.33, 0.31, 0.30

    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/rza1 873M 598M 230M 72% /
    /dev/rze1 979G 677G 303G 69% /home

    Works great for us. Very much production ready. If you knew what these machines were used for, you would probably be impressed.

    Apache is not GNU software. In fact, the GPL is incompatible with its license.

    "ANATA NO BAKA DESU!"
    You're my idiot?

    Actually, that would be

    anata wa watashi no baka desu

    assuming, for no good reason, that you would express such an opinion in a social context where you would also use anata, watashi and desu. The sig translates better as it's your idiot (or maybe he's your idiot) which is equally nonsensical and awfully formal for an insult.

    Trader Joe's Cranberry Trail Mix is a colorful and lively mix that combines dried cranberries with golden raisins, sunflower seeds, whole almonds, pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds) and cashew pieces. It has a subtle nutty flavor, with the sweetness of golden raisins and the tang of cranberries. All of the nuts are raw. This mix is sodium free, and it's made for us with no artificial colors or flavors.
