Windows 2003 and XP SP2 Vulnerable To LAND Attack
An anonymous reader writes "Dejan Levaja, a Serbian security engineer has discovered that nearly 8 years after the attack was first made public, WIndows 2003 and Windows XP SP2 are in fact vulnerable to the historic LAND attack." Granted, you need to have the firewall turned off for this work, but there's a whole lotta machines that don't have it turned on.
Let's hope Dejan Levaja does not fall victim to the usual retaliation by big software co's like Dmitry Sklyarov.
This is not the sig you are looking for...
isn't that what airbags are, to make a car safe for people who don't wear their seatbelts?
Did anyone ever reply "You're using the wrong spelling of "You're", KDN"?
I noticed some people would make the same error so much that I even personalized some of the error messages. Like: "Your passing a string instead of an address John", and "Your reading from a closed object Kevin".
"You keep using "your" instead of "you're" KDN."
