I agree slander is lousy, but he had a good site with a great deal of information. Its a shame to see it go. I do regular security audits on my network 500 hosts + and I run penetration tests using these sites as references, seeing a large library of exploits and information go is sad. PacketStorm used to update each date too, unlike rootshell which seems to fall asleep every month.
Rootshell is also rather incomplete when looking for vulnerabilities. I hope fydor updates exploit world soon.
I am kicking myself for not doing a getwww of packet storm security. They should have setup a mirror. Too bad about his school work though they should return at least that to him.
I didnt like the fact that Anakin had no dad. Didnt like the messiah, prophet thing. Would rather his dad have died in some sinister way. Maybe by a jedi? and have Anakins anger stem from that not from him missing his mommy.
I like my cable modem fine, 5 IP addresses 5 Email addresses 3m downstream 768k upstream. On my 486 (linux) I have seen data transfers over 100K a second which is as fast as I could want. All of this for 28$ a month. I host my own website (apache) and setup sendmail (8.9.3). Everything works great. I couldnt ask for more. With my 8 port hub people come over and do FTP installs of linux instead of waiting for a CD from cheapbytes.
Uh, what do you think arpanet was developed on? hate to tell you this but windows wasnt around then. I think all of the windows sheep owe a great deal to UNIX.
This should be rated more then a 2. The man is correct. Check out http://www.l0pht.com for theoretical exploits. Someone is going to write a script that sends GET "Ax3000".hmt to port 80 on entire subnets. Neat DoS attack.
Uh oh... From Bugtraq:"and as promised added a link to the working remote exploit, http://www.eeye.com/database/advisories/ad060819 99/ad06081999-exploit.html"
I am glad someone like Eeye found this, just think if someone else discovered this and kept it to themselves? Every high profile IIS site out there would get r00t3d. I suspect a great many of these E-commerce sites still store CC# databases on the webserver. This is why I dont build NT firewalls. What if something like this came out for exchange? and MS took 2 months to patch it? This is why I like open source OS's. As soon as an exploit is discovered a patch is written, and if you know enough you can even write the patch. A quick buffer overflow audit: strings *.c |grep str will get you the most common overflow able functions.
My wife and I went to see it friday night. We never made it into the film. A line of 14 - 16 year olds were waiting to get into the theatre in full 60's sytle dress. It was pretty "cute" seein g them all dressed up in what looked like their parents old wardrobes; however, my wife and I really wanted to see the new AP2 movie.
Uh no the virus would only affect the user executing it and not the entire OS. Last I knew *nix mailers didnt execute attachments. You can uudecode them into a file, then chmod +x and execute it. Plus since I have the source code to my OS. I can patch for security problems as soon as I hear about them. MS people have to sit around waiting for a SP from MS. Look at the IP fragment bug, that affected linux and windows. I had the source to ip_fragment.c for my kernel applied the patched recompiled and was all set. Windows people had to suck it up until they got their patches.
Operating systems are just tools, use the right one for the right job. If I want to play quake or download streaming media I will use NT. Or if I have some..well cant think of much else to do on NT..Linux is wonderful for programming and as a server. I have a 486/50 server webpages at home (cable modem) that would be dead if NT were installed. I can access it from work and do external security audits on the firewall. Use minicom to dialup our RAS servers and check for security issues too.
I attempted to block out most of high school being from brooklyn in a new england town was tough enough. I pretty much had these jock clam diggers all wanting to take a swing at me cause I was from a bad ass city. Needless to say things turned violent after months of tourment. They realized people from NY fight differently when cornered. After defending myself against people twice my size I earned the respect of my fellow classmates. Then I moved and it started all over again. I just gave up after that, worked on my grades just to make sure my senior year was my last year. College is 100 times better. I made most of my female friends by saving their 10 page papers from being lost on our crusty old computers. Save some girls paper from the bit bucket and your in on the next party.
jcotes is one of the true Microsoft borg. He makes mac users look bad. I think you mac people should have a "blanket party" with him. Its obvious he as no idea about the IT industry, and shouldnt be writing about it. I see a line between people who want to learn (linux users) and people who dont (Windows lovers).
I knew they would attribute this to the game doom. I caught a glimpse of an evidence bag with some item in it that had the doom logo on it. Looked like a book or something of that size, they didnt show the shot for very long.
I have seen a 486/Dx 33 with 16 megs of ram and 2 gig disk act as a DNS / mail server. There are aprox 1200 users at the site. The box is running linux and the 1.2.13 kernel. It has had uptimes of 40 - 50 days (until someone knocked a scsi cable off.) Lets see NT do all of that on a 486... There have been tests in the past by other companies that say the opposite. Linux is faster then NT. I think IBM or SUN should conduct the study. Not an NT shop.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, but thats also the source code for like 6 other platforms.

I agree CM is a dope, I had a long debate with her via email. I doubt she has ever read a TCP/IP book in her life.

you guys have a point.. grep "/bin/sh" *.c
What if these guys added back doors to their distribution.. Probably not but still for the paraniod.

This has been the equivalent of the OJ trial for nerds.

I wonder why a hardware inventor would have a negative response to an OS that supports his hardware? Maybe Bill sent him a check?
Linus, Larry Wall, Alan Cox.

I would love to see IBM get back at microsoft and I would love to see an IBM GPL'd version of linux.
I think the more variants of linux the better, especially from a hardware manufacturer. As long as _ALL_ code was freely available it would be great.
-- I want to see a linux TV commercial. Just a penguin beating a bill gates look a like to death with a hockey stick would be fine.

I just started fooling with irix, I should have known they would have something like that.
This is great. Look at all the PCs that got hit with the CIH virus. CIH
