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."
I wonder if his webserver was one of the 50.

If you die in debt, you're ahead.
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.
Why not just attach a spreading mechanism and call it a worm.
