Ask the Cult of the Dead Cow Anything

The Cult of the Dead Cow [cDc] is one of the best-known and oldest groups floating around in the murky world of computer security (on either side of the fence). cDc's best-publicized recent accomplishment is Back Orifice, a program that can be considered either an excellent NT remote sysadmin tool or a cracker's sneaky way into an NT-based network. But there's lots more to cDc than B.O. If you're not famliar with their history, check the cDc files before you post; they go all the way back to 1985. Please confine yourself to one question per post. Tuesday afternoon we'll forward the 10 - 15 questions deemed most interesting by Slashdot moderators and hangers-on to the Cult by e-mail. Answers will appear Friday.
