OOH! Put it in an aquarium filled with freon or something and then put some food coloring in it! WHEEEEE!!! Add some flourescent lighting or some Neon!
Whoa... too much code red for breakfast, i gotta go easy on that stuff....
RedHat 7.2 gives you the option of choosing between the two ( and choice is great) but i fear what i'm unfamiliar with so i stuck with LILO, but i jumped all over ext3fs (which was also a choice)
that could cause some serious problems for you if you ever want to log in on the console again...
i had a rh6.2 box way back when and i did just that and could never login to the console afterwards. instead of trying to rechmod the necessary files, i left it like that until i could upgrade it to 7.1
it seems like a perfectly reasonable assumption to me... if they can run linux binaries unmodified do to some code in their kernel and the linux kernel source is available to anyone who wants it, then it follows that perhaps they might have borrowed from it!
FYI: the challenger "explosion" was actually more of a pressure rupture than a fireball. the big cloud of "smoke" was mostly water vapor. part of the SRB collided with the main fuel tank and violated its sturctural integrity.
one thing that occured to me is that some of the hits i'm getting in my log file from this are not from web servers, but sad pc's that have been outlooked or explorered into infection and not iis'ed. yes? no? maybe?
Ok, i've got servers that are getting hit thousands of times by the same ip's. i've been probed 2500 times in the past couple of days by one in particular.
I've contacted my network colo persons, and they have "opened a trouble ticket" and contacted their admins about the problem...
nothing.
i have been increasingly leaning towards using the wonderful perl script found on DasBistro that someone already posted. i'm thinking of writing a php version (shouldn't be too hard...)
BUT
if i shut down some machine that is pounding on my server are there really legal ramifications? i've seen some posts claiming so, but i haven't seen a consensus. I'm also contemplating writing a reverse virus that will worm into a codered/nimda/whatever infected box and apply patches etc... but not spread itself further to avoid creating network problems. any ramifications of that?
anybody?
i hate to have to resort to that but i've been probed 3000 times in the past 5 minutes!!!!!
22 processors and 1 GB of RAM? that seems like an impossible configuration! are you sure you didn't mean 1GB on each system board for a total of 22 GB?
There are a lot more things you can include in a document from a remote location than just images, and maybe your email client doesn't have an option to turn them off...
style sheets...
javascript...
java...
so it's not so simple just to turn off images. luckily for me, eudora doesn't run any of these either, but some people who use other email clients may not be so lucky....
Credit Card companies don't pay when numbers get stolen! the vendors do, and the Credit Card companies charge them fees on top of the cost of the theft.
If you were the store owner and not the patron, you most certainly would care if people were stealing your customers credit card numbers!
firstly, you have to pay isp fees no matter what os you have... second, even if you add up all the stuff you mentioned, there's no $400 charge just for a basic license like there is with NT so i bet you come out ahead.
i thought i read somewhere (the AP maybe...) that the only computers they were able to get into were non-classified. maybe i was just seeing things. maybe this started as a rumor and the press turned it into fact...
i've had my company call me... i got a new visa from Yahoo! and when i first started using it, i bought so many things on one day that they disabled it and called me to make sure it really was me! I thought that was a "Good Thing".
i too have seen this at several companies and it is very sad to see adults act like 5 year olds around a broken cookie jar. bottom line: lazy people that can't prevent disasters can only find scape goats. stay away from them or they'll pick YOU!

Maybe not, but if you hit that url... then they have DeCSS in their web server's log file! CALL THE MPAA!!!
uh, that was palm beach county IIRC. different part of south florida...
but as shown in other posts, Microsoft claims in court that IE is most certainly an integral part of windows....
no, but sometimes software failures lead to major catastrophes. have you read a book call the gift of fire? did you hear about the navy ship that was disabled by a glitch? software problems can cause much more than an annoyance! in some cases people were killed!
uh... :)
your argument only shows that not all versions of windows are vulnerable, not that windows itself isn't the problem.

just be lucky you weren't in the picture too... that's hard to explain to the wife and kids! :) (not that i know anything about pr0n!)

I see exactly the same message on this box that has been hitting me tens of thousands of times in the past 12 hours... 198.172.89.72
i'm not quite ready to dasbistro this sob, but maybe somebody else will be kind and shoot this limping dog in the head for me?
p.s. i always wondered what that 408 thing was in my log files!

it's one thing to do this on your website, it's quite another to send it to people in their email!!! Count on, /.!!!

no that's a good idea! I love it! I volunteer!

wow, that really beats my linux box that's been up for ~100 days since that power outage...
