How a Router's Missed Range Check Nearly Crashed the Internet
Barlaam writes "A bug by router vendor A (omitting a range check from a critical field in the configuration interface) tickled a bug from router vendor B (dropping BGP sessions when processing some ASPATH attributes with length very close to 256), causing a ripple effect that caused widespread global routing instability last week. The flaw lay dormant until one of vendor A's systems was deployed in an autonomous system whose ASN, modulo 256, was greater than 250. At that point, the Internet was one typo away from disaster. Other router vendors, who were not affected by the bug, happily propagated the trigger message to every vulnerable system on the planet in about 30 seconds. Few people appreciate how fragile and unsecured the Internet's trust-based critical infrastructure really is — this is just the latest example." Vendor A, in this case, is a Latvian router vendor called MikroTik.
Nevermind, Spartacus was a fag. I'm a nigger.
A nigger is a feral humanoid beast with superhuman strength.
Nerds: your lady isn't interested in what you have to say. She dosen't give a flying fuck about your SATA RAID and your asserts and your virtual machines. Her plan is to have a nigger baby and hope that you are stupid enough to raise it.
When she wants to be knocked up, she wants to know that her niglets will receive the preferable genes which will enable them to hunt lions and outrun cheetahs. Huge penises are evolutionary adaptions and every woman wants one to spew its pecker snot inside her. She wants a purebred nigger buck bred from the slave days to sire virile offspring and produce NBA and NFL players.
Nerds: your only hope is to knock up a nigger sow and promise it children which will have a chance in life and not look like goddamn apes or chimpanzees.
Your only chance is if the Grand Dragon shoots one out of his ass. Assuming of course you ever get you dick out of there.
It's not "oblivion" if we all view the comments at -1.
I find that it's quite easy to scroll past all the useless "frist" and "n-word" posts, and I wouldn't want to miss an insightful comment that was modded down just because he called some stupid cunt a stupid cunt.f
Please note, I use the word "cunt" not as any sort of gender specification, but rather as in "That stupid cunt voted Republican".
You are welcome on my lawn.
