  1. Windows = Insecure on Peer-To-Victim File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Personally, I think that ShareSniffer is a tool that should have come out years ago. This method of hopping onto unsuspecting victim's shares has been around since Windows 95 first came out, attaching NetBIOS to the Dial-Up TCP/IP by default.

    Anyone having Windows should be wary of its security. It's commonly known to almost anyone who has any knowledge of computers whatsoever. If there are people who get Windows 95/98/ME onto their computer without consulting someone who knows something about computers, then they made a mistake and will now be paying for it because of ShareSniffer. Boo, hoo! I feel sorry for them.

    Remember, we're dealing with the same OS that has utilities to change the dreaded "Blue Screen of Death" to any color you want. What does that say about the OS when you can configure how it crashes?
