Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS®) Software is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) and potentially an arbitrary code execution attack from a specifically crafted IPv6 packet. The packet must be sent from a local network segment. Only devices that have been explicitly configured to process IPv6 traffic are affected. Upon successful exploitation, the device may reload or be open to further exploitation.
Cancels? Dumb. I know of Charter that used to
only give you a 15 minute lease (not sure of current state), but it would renew.
All a waste of network resources albeit minor.
I think it's just a way for the ISPs to do network
management. When the customers start calling,
they realize they have a network problem.
If leases were given out for say 4 hours, and
they have a DHCP server problem, well, they
might not find out about the problem for say 2 hours (depending upon Time Of Day (TOD)).
The ISP can find out about problems much quicker
with short leases.
What we're doing right now, is we've spent a great deal of energy over the last year, sort of a lot of unsexy, dirty, nasty, grinding work that has the very sexy, exciting work that has the result that we believe many applications will install, and we believe that those that won't install will be very easy to get install.
He must have been hard at work. Just not sure
if it was sexy or not.
If company policy mandates using Windows,
well, you are going to have problems anyway.
Plugging other machines that are non-Windows
is not likely to create near as many problems.
The exception to that would be wifi that is
not properly secured (default settings).
It's the untrusted employee that is trying to
subvert your networks that you have to worry about
more than anything.
Also if a knoppix CD would just install itself onto the harddisk and boot the disk without questions ( to run much faster), that would solve the problem.
Why go work for MS in the first place?
MS would rather they bury you (and lock you in
with high salary), so as to prevent you from working for
any competition.
Can this be used as a feature?

With the BS traffic that comes down the pipe when
visiting certain websites, could this actually
be used to reduce the unwanted traffic?
I'm thinking, they are attacking me, so I'll attack
them back! (Normally, I drop all garbage packets).

Of course, it's not DOS.

Of course, so does the customer.

The way things are going, you may not get a choice.
The view will be great from a spyware standpoint.

An excellent job she did when you look at this from a proxymaster point of view.

And company policy will not stop that anyway.
The variant to check is Kanotix.

Objection: Assumes facts not in evidence.
Has sabotage been ruled out?
Or was it due to the wind?
How come this particular problem has not been reported before?
Has the engineering of the cover or it's mounting points changed from previous flights?
I vote no-go until those questions are answered.

Found here.
The scary thing is that most anyone can spin bad news just like SCO would. If you read enough BS coming out of Utah, eventually you know the pattern.
