Why All The Hype About 0day?
nuthinbutspam writes "Michael Sutton has up an interesting post on the security vulnerabilities that we really need to be concerned about. According to Sutton, it's not the new ones that are scary, it's the old ones that have long since been forgotten. He illustrates his point by walking through an example where he uses Google and Yahoo! to identify 50 web servers that are wide open to attack. The list includes an ivy league school, various colleges and a company traded on the NYSE. Sobering stuff."

We're all born with nothing.

When I read this headline I thought it was talking about 0-day warez.
Don't forget, no matter how much you firewall or patch or try to secure your systems and network, you can never truely protect yourself from an uniformed user.
You're right. These days those uniformed users don't even need warrants.
So the article isn't about warez? Damn.. I was looking for teh l337 DDL linkz!1. Guess I should stop going by the titles...
Why so? Was uniformed spelled wrong? ;)
Invaders must die
No I meanth 51th. Why do you athk?
Or you don't care and you deny responsibility when your machine is being abused. That's the most popular way.
That analogy is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a diagonal frog.
The World Wide Web is dying. Soon, we shall have only the Internet.
