[crazy idea] Maybe somthing like a fine for getting cracked. If a company is cracked, using a known method that has a fix available, with proof that the cracker did not r00t the box or steal/damage anything, then that company is obliged to pay the cracker £100. [/crazy idea] I bet that would soon have the senior managment being much more interested in security.
if you ever catch a kiddie on your system (logged in), don't just boot him off. 'talk' him. Make sure he knows that there are people behind these machines, and that they're not just machines to be played with. Won't this give him/her the impression that your respectfull or afraid of his/her 'skillz'?, I would suggest that this just boosts the ego of these sad little f**ks and prompts them to persue it more, but I wouldn't boot him off stright away either, find out how he got in, close that door and then boot and ignore. BTW, this has been at Root Prompt for a while, it's part of a series of episodes that detail an actual crack from the SA point of view. Check it out.
In AOL's adverts in the U.K., Connie's dress is made of various pages from the web. My question is, If that dress is ment to be realistic as to the pages shown, shouldn't it be mostly p0rn? BTW, where is/. on that dress?
...in this day and age where a lot of money is put into designing cool sites that will bring people back I don't return to a site because of any fruity graphics or animation, I return because they have something I want (information, links, news etc). I think site designers would do well to rember that.
If they insist on having such a sloppy security model (Associating file/programs via the file extention), why don't M$ use the LAST file extention, of a file that has multiple file extentions, to associate a program ? Joe User may not be protected, but it may give him a hint that somthing is up.

Sorry, I ment to say 'Use the LAST file extention to assiciate the icon'.
