Shawn Fanning is a very smart guy he use to be apart of w00w00 if anyone rememeber w00w00 they were a handfull of a elite white hats who released alot of exploits back in the days and hacked alot of openbsd. Napster was a memeber of w00w00 way before Napster was a famous P2P name.
I still remember napster coming into #Winprog @ Efnet asking for help when he started napster p2p it was I believe his first win32 appliction he was pretty much a UNIX coder.
I work for the City of NY and we are starting to see the same thing rolled out here most people are reffering the term as Mike Bloomberg's Bull pens everything is starting to get redesigned to look like his traders floor at Bloomberg LLC, no matter senority or status ranking in our company.
This database housed millions of user information so right off the bat you should know this was not implemented on RHAT on intel. Most likely Oracle running on Solaris or AIX
Why ? Do you think all hackers are pimple face 16 yearolds
There are 5 types of hackers out here let me give you the run down as professional security consultant
Casual hackers Skill level Low - high Treath Moderate Varying levels of skills ranging from beginners to seasoned veterans. Often rely on widely available automated tools to locate exploit or weakness
Employees/Insiders Skill Level Low - High Treath Moderate - high Direct access to internal resources. Mayy have detailed knowledge of a company's computer systems and security mechanisms.
Theives and Career Criminals Skill level Moderate - High Treath High May be higly skilled at evading discovery and capture. Detailed understanding of financial and accounting systems.
Corporate SPies and Other Highed professionals Skill level High - Very High Treath - High Very High Proven level of skill often insiders with direct access to confidential information
Foregin Goverments and terrorst organizations Skill level Very High Treath - Very High Highly trained with proven level of skill. Focused on intelligence gathering and effective information warfare tactics.
Now depending on what your data is worth will define the type of hackers that pray on your network.
I work for the city goverment (NYC) and I can tell you right off the back its not what you know its who you know.. sometimes you just have to buckle down and kiss ass I know it doesnt sound like the moral thing to do but usually the bosses snitch/bitch usually rides the boat the longest.. Just start smooshing with upper management this is a cut throath market everyone wants your job!! get to know more people of higher status than you in the company.
Actally your wrong I work for city goverment and we have been fasing out VMS,IBM mainframe in place of newer applications being ported to Sun sparc C/Java/Peoplesoft Weblogic.. No one is writing new applications on VMS/MAINFRAME these days the problem with them is the lack of interfaces to easily access the data.... what's the point of warehousing data if its very complex to access ?
Yeah so does SGI I Dont see the big geewiz factor in this article like how there trying to make it seem, vendors have been doing this for years for the enterprise markets.
Hey Shawn, how about sending some of that cash to #winprog @ efnet killng us with your lame win32 code did you eventually get that rich text edit bug fixed ??
IBM Websphere at my prior company I was a WebSphere Admin for about 2 years its extremly stable on Sun Solaris, We used Netscape Enterprise Servers, Load balancing and cluster is just awesome, I have no complains about WebSphere other than its a Memory Hog our machines ran about 4 appservers 512mb of mem each WebSphere eats this up in no time, One of the features I liked about websphere 3.x was the TCL interface to the WebSphere Repository I Was able to write some very cool monitoring scripts, Right now @ my current job we use WebLogic which is also another nice product I dont know enough about Weblogic at the moment to state any good/bad news about it but from what I see its very functional and stable.
Robert Works for Network Associates like most of the uber unix coders we all work for big time.com companies and just hack other peoples code on the side for fun =)
You dont really think we would let all our talents go to waste ?;)
