TCP Vulnerability Published

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the DOS-for-fun-and-profit dept.

Bob Slidell writes "According to Yahoo!, there is a critical flaw in TCP that affects everyone and everything. The article is scant on details and long on fear, hopefully someone will post more details on this." The advisory has more information, and is long on details but only moderate on fear.

    Hmm.. I'm using OpenBSD on my desktop as I type this. Seems like it has enough features to me. (not using KDE though, moved to lightweight Windowmaker..)

    Don't worry about the Offtopic mod. I meta-modded it unfair! ha ha!

    Is my post offtopic? or are you wasting mod points by chasing this white rabbit? where will it go? What are you doing this far down a thread anyways? Go up a few, there is nothing interesting here. If you do mod this, what will the meta's think? It would be best if you just moved along. Or if you were really desparate to drop a point. Make it a funny, yea. Thats right. Turn that mod frown upside down. Consider the moderator, and while your doing that i'll be over here, looking through your journal entry.
