Exploit Found in Seti@Home
Jamie noted that an Exploit was found in Seti@Home and there is code exploiting the hole actually running about in the wild. Patches are available for those of you not interested in running a public warez server or DoS client ;)
I wonder whether aliens are exploiting this to control us /me screams and runs in fear.
Something tells me that this exploit is going to lead to a lot more people getting fired than, say, that OpenSSH one a while back.
But I already run a public warez server!
Must be because of evil bits sent by menacing aliens!
Just a bunch of h4x0rs having fun again? Dang.
the Aliens doing this. Not to worry though. I will use my I-Book to hack into their systems and upload a virus.
There are illegal aliens in my computer!#!@
I'm sure the Aliens will love it when we try to DoS attack them. That's one way to make friends with a new species. "Oh sorry about that, yeah were a smart world, REALLY!!"

If the aliens would be exploiting that, our computers would be full of alien pr0n, which it isn't the case... Right? RIGHT?

Um, lets see... Believe the actual page... or believe what a Slashdot "editor" writes... Hmm, tough call.
Look! Their site is down! Someone must have used this exploit to launch a Dos on them! Oh wait... damn you slashdot!
Everybody denies I am a genius--but nobody ever called me one!
at least its doing something useful... rather than just pointlessly scanning some random data with no hope of finding anything.
I'm smarter than the average bear.
running winxp on the spaceship woo -.-
This sig was cut off by the sla
Where is the wild? Anyone have the address?
I'd like to run about there also.
TIA!
Good thing the 20 computers I'm running it on aren't even mine!
The coolest voice ever.
I went in and took a look around your system. All the files seem fine. I guess you're okay.
Where do you download the software for warez servers and DoS clients? I know some people who have old DOS programs that they need to run for their business, and they also need a warez server to search for stock quotes online and tell them "ware" they are.
They are covering their tracks. How else could you explain this suspicious lack of alien signal evidence after all of these years of searching? This is a coverup of galactic proportions.
I am risking my life by sharing this with you, but someone must speak out before it's too late!
There ARE no such things as aliens. The real coverup is that the government has been manipulating the public to accept that there may be aliens, and is using that to get funding and public support for sinister military projects that, otherwise, would be difficult to run.
Seti@Home is the most recent, and diabolical, of them all. Hundreds of thousands of people have been conned into believing that they're actually searching for "alien communications." The truth is that they're processing massive amounts of data, fed directly to the Arecibo dish by the military as part of a massive attempt at global mind control / thoughtcrime detection.
The signals being processed are actually brainwaves of the billions of people on the planet. Currently, they are researching normal brainwave activity in the global population and experimenting on a select group of individuals using weather satellites to beam mind control signals directly into their skulls. Once phase 1 has been completed, they will being experimenting with lightly controlling the minds of a whole country or continent. Finally, total control of the world population will take place.
i don't know where it is but according to the late night commercials, girls go there to get videotaped by snoop dogg. it sure looks like a fun place though.
THERE IS NO DATA. THERE IS O
