  1. OpenBSD on Combining Port Knocking With OS Fingerprinting · · Score: 4, Informative

    OS detection combined with firewall rules is already implemented in OpenBSD.

  2. from their TOS on Paid To Spam · · Score: 1

    "You may only request payment, and
    SENDMAILS CORPORATION shall only disburse from your account, when your account is equal to or
    greater than $50.00 for United States residents and $90.00 for those residents
    outside the United States."

    nice one:

    "In the event of technical problems or data loss which causes a loss of account information, your account will be reset at $0.00, and you hereby waive any and all claims for any amount previously accrued but not yet disbursed."

    and it includes spyware:

    "SENDMAILS CORPORATION collects online behavior
    statistical information for our members. Examples of information that we collect,
    other than through the registration form, include URL of visited pages, registration
    for offerings and IP addresses."

  3. My Bluetooth hotspot on Spammed by Bluetooth · · Score: 1

    I have public Bluetooth hotspot on my university. It's a PC with iTec USB Dongle (100 m range) running Debian GNU/Linux, BlueZ stack and my Java utility, which scans for Bluetooth devices and sends them "welcome on our university" note. Additionally it serves LAN/Internet access using PPP over Bluetooth.

  4. Re:Poland on Smartcards to Track London Commuters · · Score: 1

    Yes, I understand. Warsaw *monthly* tickets are based on smartcards (they need to be put near the sensor). You buy such card once and you need to refresh it every month. Normal tickets are magnetic ones.

  5. Poland on Smartcards to Track London Commuters · · Score: 1

    We have already magnetic cards and magnetic tickets in Warsaw public transport.

  6. poland on UK And EU May Make Unsolicited Email Illegal · · Score: 2, Interesting

    in Poland it's already illegal.

  7. Niels on OpenBSD Gains Privilege Elevation · · Score: -1, Troll

    But it loses Niels Provos from coreteam. He "works" for NetBSD now.

  8. theo on OpenSSH Package Trojaned · · Score: 1

    "One remote hole in default install, in nearly 6 years". Two if you install new ssh.

  9. Re:Exploiting scenario on OpenSSH Local Root Hole · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Each user has it's own fork()ed copy of sshd running, so overflow can occur only in your own copy of sshd. The ONLY way to exploit it is to fool glibc free() by overwriting fd->prev or fd->next pointer.

  10. Exploiting scenario on OpenSSH Local Root Hole · · Score: 5, Insightful

    After analysis, I can say, that this vulnerability is 4 bytes heap overflow, VERY hard to exploit. Problably only Linux will be affected, because Doug Lea's malloc() depends on control structures located just after malloced buffer.

  11. Re:If it works... on Atari 800XL Used For Heart Diagnostics · · Score: 1

    Here, in Poland, many hospitals are stil using VAX boxes for heart and lung radioisotophe diagostics.
