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.

    Why the omnipresent need to analogize the most straightforward things? The world may never know.

    Because a good analogy is like a diagonal frog.

    Eye halve a spelling chequer,
    It came with my pea sea,
    It plainly marques four my revue
    Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

    Eye strike a key and type a word
    And weight four it two say
    Weather eye am wrong oar write
    It shows me strait a weigh.

    As soon as a mist ache is maid
    It nose bee fore two long
    And eye can put the error rite
    Its rarely ever wrong.

    Eye have run this poem threw it
    I'm shore your pleased two no
    Its letter perfect in it's weigh,
    My chequer tolled me sew.
