  1. My Exp, with .NET and Game Dev Says Yes on Is .NET Relevant to Game Developers? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I have been using .NET since September 2001. I wrote an open source 3D engine using C#. It makes use of BSP tree visibility culling, it uses WorldCraft as a level editor, it supports OpenGL and it did support NVIDIA's Cg until they changed their interface. When I released this engine open source back in February 2002 I stated clearly that I thought that .NET would be useful for game development.

    ExoEngine - A C#, OpenGL .NET 3D Engine

    PS. Some people notice that in the screen shots the engine is only getting about 10fps or less. This is because it was running without 3D hardware accelleration.

  2. FBI warned about "DoS preparation". on More DoS Attacks: CNN, Amazon, eBay, Buy.com... · · Score: 2

    Here what they say:

    "During the past few weeks the NIPC has seen multiple reports of intruders installing distributed denial of service tools on various computer systems, to create large networks of hosts capable of launching significant coordinated packet flooding denial of service attacks. Installation has been accomplished primarily through compromises exploiting known sun rpc vulnerabilities. These multiple denial of service tools include TRINOO, and Tribe Flood Network (or TFN & tfn2k), and has been reported on many systems....

    Possible motives for this malicious activity include exploit demonstration, exploration and reconnaissance, or preparation for widespread denial of service attacks."

  5. 18 Page Ransom Letter (Re:The Attacks Continue!) on Forum: The Yahoo Denial of Service · · Score: 2

    On MSNBC:

    "A SOURCE CLOSE to the investigation of the Web site attacks told MSNBC he had read a threatening 18-page letter written by the alleged attacker. Included in the letter: "This is a watershed event of Net security debacle. We have shot across the bow of Yahoo. It's a real wake up call. This attack is just the first of the assaults that we will be launching on the Web ... three cheers for us."

    In the letter, the purported attacker complained about companies "capitalizing" on the Internet; the investigator MSNBC spoke to believes online brokerage companies such as eTrade could be his next target.

  7. Amazon is down too (Re:CNN Down) on Forum: The Yahoo Denial of Service · · Score: 1

    There are a few sites down right now and I am not sure why. It must be just us being a bunch of consipracy theorists or something. Anyways at 9:10pm EST the following sites are without a response: www.cnn.com www.amazon.com I suspect that the individual is going to take down as many sites as they possibly can while there trick is still new. It's sort of like a deathstar weapon. They seem to be targeting any large site they can. Is anyone else finding this to be true. Later, -ben houston www.exocortex.org
