Slashdot Mirror
SCO.com Defaced
A whole slew of readers wrote:"According to an Image on the SCO website they own all our code and we shall pay them all our money. (found at Heise online (german IT news). " Yes, I'm sure this will help the whole legal case; defacement has always been such a valued piece of input in court *cough*.
Very relevant for a change
.. but they *do* own all your code ~~~

Nice of him not to use the AYCABTU line.
Though you have to admire the subtlety..
Remember, there are no stupid questions. But there are a lot of inquisitive idiots.
All your base are belong...
Ah what I wouldn't give to see the look on there faces when they relieze this!
Course since I looked at the image, I am sure now they will try and charge me $699.00.
I would have posted a mirror, but the /. affect on the SCO site is much more fun.
It's not so obvious that the website is defaced =P
I welcome our new code-owning overlords.
What's he, a lawyer or something?
"SCO defaced their own site to discredit the Linux Community". You heard it here first.
...is what, a year late?
It's been fixed now, it's gone back to the original slogan: "We own all your code, pay us all your money."
Damn - it won't go "Slashdotted"... ...everyone keep pressing F5 until it no longer reloads ;)
Conclusion: It's not a defacement. It's their new corperate motto.
Wanted: One witty yet thought provoking
What's wrong with you, man?
Hopefully they wont be as slow when they start doing the linux support we pay them for
When they start? I'm already getting the full service.
As a completely unbiased and disinterested observer, I bought a SCO license to see what the fuss was about. Since then NOBODY has sued me for anything, least of all for violating any code SCO might possibly have in the Linux kernel (including any Linux kernels in alternate universes). You can't argue with service like that. I'd recommend it to anyone.
The real Ralph Yarro posts as Anonymous Coward. Anyone else is an impostor.
The image is already "tagged" 'Hacked by realloc(' in plain view.
we're probably supposed to read realloc().
Ha Ha!
No trees were harmed in the composition of this; however, numerous electrons were inconvenienced.

A little too open it would seem.
Technology, the cause of and solution to all of life's problems.
Looks like the site is still defaced.. maybe they should teach HTML to some lawyers and fix things up :)
..and sco.com is hacked. Therefore IIS is more secure :)
Why do you think this is a defacemant?
It's their new business model (you insensitive clods)
I don't need a signature.
Not sure what you're implying (giving how confusing irony can be today), but notice what the girl has written on the whiteboard: "Hacked by reallocl" ... this is clearly the funnies hack in years, and on their front page none the less. :-D

How can one tell it's defaced?
...searching the SCO website for the phrase 'litigious bastards'. It returns an error message: #1040 Too Many Connections.
Made me laugh, anyway.
Particularly impressive considering this from the SCO site:
Five Reasons to Choose UNIX Instead of Linux
1. SCO UNIX is a Proven, Stable and Reliable Platform
2. SCO UNIX is backed by a single, experienced vendor
3. SCO UNIX has a Committed, Well-Defined Roadmap
4. SCO UNIX is Secure
5. SCO UNIX is Legally Unencumbered
I also like the fact that all of these reasons not to choose linux are equally valid for SLES.
Maybe SCO can't find anything unusual on the page. Nothing against the corporate policy :)
Odds are they may never find it.

somewhat interesting...realloc is laughing at sco, as are we all.

Actually, this is so in line with their business policy that I'm not sure anyone within the company will find it suspicious for a long long time.

Poor bastards.
Apparently they haven't changed it yet because their web-development department is having trouble finding the FrontPage shortcut
That theory is helped by the fact that it is still up on sco.com's mainpage. It's apparently a single image replaced on the server, so either SCO can't access it's own webservers or it's a marketing ploy.
/.
Or maybe they just don't use their website or read

It's only business when someone burgles your house, too. Most of us still take it personally.

And I hope the burglar doesn't take it personally when I shoot his dumb ass...

I'd like to suggest that realloc() think about applying for a job at SCO. His attitude about other people's property, as evidenced by his crack of their site, has a lot in common with SCO's own attitude, as evidenced by their blackmailing lawsuits.
Yeah...
"This copy of photoshop cracked by reallock()"
Heh, only on slashdot would people note a hackers name in the background of a defaced website, and totally overlook a chick in a picture.
Whats more amazing? The fact that it is still defaced, or the fact that we have not successfully /.ed the webpage yet?

I for one, am glad that they got h4x0r3d after publishing this smut.
They did... the phone call went like this:
*ring ring*
HAL: Mr. Belford?
PLAGUE: My name is the Plague
HAL: Uh, Mr. The Plague, uh, something weird's happening on the net.
PLAGUE: As in what, you hapless techno-weenie?
HAL: Uh, the web server image subdirectory in the Gibson is working really hard. We got one person online, the workload is enough for like ten users. I think we've got a hacker.
PLAGUE: Never fear. I is here.
HAL: I've narrowed the activity to terminal 23.
PLAGUE: Let's echo 23, see what's up. Hrm... "God" wouldn't be up this late.
* PLAGUE sees what Joey is downloading. A file called "Linux".
PLAGUE: Shit! Get me the lawyer control center!
Hi,
Can you maximise Azereus and post a screenshot?
Thanks in advance.

Rocket science is easy. Neurosurgery, now *that's* difficult.
Hey, it's only business.
:)
Well at the very least it's quite revealing about the security (or lack thereof) of their OS !
I think they should pay themselves $690 and put Linux on their servers
Thomas-
And did anyone else notice her enlarged breasts and backside of her thong exposed? This is a wonderful artistic achievement!
"hacked by realloc("
i knew realloc(3) was a bad apple! sure, it seems so simple to use, but how many people handle the error case correctly? however, i never would have expected an ansi c function to deface a website like that. it's just so high level (and childish). that kind of behaviour you'd imagine seeing from a language like perl, perhaps. from stdlib, i expected better.
When questioned, just remember the magic phrase "I thought I saw a gun."
Or: "This guy is faking being dead!" BLAM BLAM
Swine.
I just had to go back and look at the photo. You're right, there *is* a woman in the picture, all I'd noticed before was the tag...
I feel so pathetic, and I hate you for pointing it out.

Battery is either hitting people or a device for storing electrical energy. Did you mean barratry?
Hmmm, obvious subtleties. I'll have to think on that for a bit :)
