    And what about Yloni's original ssh?

    Hell, Theo tore the code to pieces, to make an unencumbered version, once the license changed. I sure hope Linus stands up on principle for his fellow Finn! Maybe he'll return to telnet - or buy a commercial SSH...

    I used to do this work. We always backed the scans up with hand-checks, and examined environments and mitigating circumstances.

    The managers and officers we got the attention of had screen captures of payroll-stubs or insurance histories in the report! At least an analysis of weak session obfuscation in cookie-files or the contents of hidden web-forms that exposed site-internals or revealed confidential information.

    Also, we re-worded the horrible glut of NASL embedded descriptions, which are not consistent in their use of problem and remedy sections, are produced by hundreds of people with numerous first-languages, etc.

    If a third party adds no value to the tools own automation, they are not performing a service.

    I'm sure glad that Andy did raise his hand in class and ask to go to the potty in Professor Bill Gates' class. And I have to wonder how many Samba installations are cooking on the machines of BitKeeper employees.

    Didn't see "The Silver Chair". I'll have to look for it. Whatever the deficiencies of the BBC series, they got most everything right.

    Like in live theater presentations, you can have a sub-Dr. Who level of technical production if the story and character are present. Those are much harder! Effects can be bought. Real talent doesn't come out of a metered tap.

    Funny.

    I learned Unix on a DEC PDP-11/60, and then on a NeXT Cube - serial line all-the-way.

    For years I build my Linux and OpenBSD boxes like I learned - half unconsciously thinking, "Better install emacs, too. Someone's gonna bitch if there's only vi. Hmmmn. There's a chance that the German man pages will be needed by a user, sooner or later..."

    Of course, it was my personal Athlon! Noone was ever going to telnet on in, or kermit those files to another host! I didn't stop this builing/installing habit until I was regularly using laptops - when it just was glaringly obvious how single-user the box was.

    Terrible security, from the point-of-view of "increased attack surface". I also locked down root good, tho, and ran sudo, tcp wrappers, portsentry, etc.
