How does security fit into DNS? Or any other low-level protocol? Does TCP authenticate your remote logins? No, but a protocol higher up on the stack does (like SSH).

This past year, I was accepted into Carnegie Mellon's [cmu.edu] School of Computer Science [cmu.edu]. It has been a remarkable experience that I would lik
e to share with the Slashdot community. Here's an account of my experience.
Week 1, Sunday: I moved in today. My roommate, a sophomore CS student, had already moved in tw
o days before me. The floor is already completely covered with garbage. He also smells. I think he
might be gay too. He's already asked me if I like the color he painted his toenails. This should be
interesting. I am almost completely settled in. Techno music is playing in every room in every floor
of my dorm. There are computers and other types of trash out in the common areas. What a mess. Tom
orrow, I am going to go sign up to get my network connection.
Week 1, Monday: I got hooked up to the CMU network today! I jacked into the network, only to f
ind that the hostname and address assigned to me were colliding with another system. I'll just increm
ent the network numbers a few times. I am really eager to get on.
Week 1, Tuesday: I am still looking for a free IP address. Can't anybody here properly configu
re their systems?
Week 1, Friday: I finally found a free IP! It's mine! You sons of bitches can't have i
t, I found it, I keep it, it's mine! To hell with all of you! Head hurts really bad. I've slowly be
en developing a headache since I first arrived. Everywhere I look there are these Lucent Technologies
wireless access points. I wonder if that's the problem.
Week 1, Saturday: I sat down at my computer today. My desktop wall paper is now the goatse.cx
guy. Pleasant. Scattered over every directory on my C: drive are thousands, possibly millions, of fi
les titled "J00AR30WN3DBITCH-phj33r-" and then some random hacker's name. Don't these people have liv
es? Maybe they need laid or something. It'd take days to clean this out. I mentioned to my roommate
that I needed to reinstall Windows, and immediately he jumped up and shouted: "NO! Do NOT use Window
s!" Suddenly, two dozen other guys (all of them possibly homosexuals) appeared at the door, each tout
ing an operating system called Linux. Half of them got into a fight over which was better, Debian, Re
dHat, Slackware, and a bunch of others I couldn't recognize. Some kid who appeared to not have shower
ed since he was born was touting "Linux From Scratch", saying that only losers used pre-made distros.
A crowd of people in the back kept quiet about how I'd be sorry if I used Linux instead of BSD on the
network. Who the fuck are these people? Classes start next week. Hope I have my computer working s
o I can do my assignments.
Week 3, Friday: People are still trying to get Linux to work on my system. They keep telling m
y that my hardware sucks. We go through about four or five distributions a day. Every now and then,
I notice a little devil on my screen. Stickers for every of these distributions have been plastered o
n my case. Suddenly, my room stinks a lot more with these people in here. I ask them why they never
shower, and the usual response is something along the lines of "showering is like rebooting" and "I do
n't want to lose my uptime."
Week 3, Saturday: There's a troop of men running naked in a circle around McGill Hall. I am no
t even going to ask.
Week 4, Wednesday: Linux is FINALLY working on my computer! I have a pretty slick desktop too.
I think I might like this. I can finally work in my room instead of the labs, although considering
the every increasing layer of garbage on the floor...
Week 4, Thursday: My computer flashes messages about how I am "0WNX0RED" and how I should "PHJ3
3R" whoever and how "L4MEX0R" I am for having an insecure box. A kid suggests we reinstall Linux afte
r discovering about 17 rootkits.
Week 5, Friday: Someone got BSD working on my computer. I wonder if this will last. The stres
s has been building and I forgot to take a shower this morning.
Week 6, Tuesday: Seems I have been "0WNX0R3D" again. Took longer this time. Minutes later, so
meone comes in with a "Bastile Linux" install CD. He gets started installing. I am feeling very susp
icious of these guys.
Week 6, Thursday: Everyone seems to know more about my system than I do. It's a bit unnerving.
I guess anyone could feel upset from this sort of treatment. They hack my box, trash it, then reins
tall everything. I guess they think they're being funny. My dirty clothes are piling up and I am out
of clean ones. I don't have time to do laundry, I'll have to wear something out of the pile.
Week 6, Friday: I got up this morning, sat at my machine, and stared at it blankly. An icon ap
peared on my desktop for Quake III. I suppose it couldn't hurt to play some. I have been very stress
ed lately.
Week 6, Sunday: I lost track of time! I started playing Quake III on the network with some oth
er CMU students (who killed me hundreds of times in the course of 10 minutes) and completely lost myse
lf. There's a bag of chips that has been sitting here for a few weeks. I think I'll finish those off
for breakfast and then go to sleep.
Week 7, Wednesday: I masturbate every day now. Not a single girl comes near me. This is so de
pressing. Do I really smell? Oh well, I have the task of learning how to secure my Linux box to keep
me busy. Who has time for the opposite sex after all?
Week 8, Tuesday: I got into a fight with this little shit who kept telling me RedHat was great.
What a fucking moron! Anybody who knows Linux knows that Debian kicks its sorry little ass. I'll b
e getting my judiciary papers for the incident in the mail. Doesn't this school get it? I can't let
someone go around converting people to RedHat! WtF!?
Week 8, Friday: My roommate squeezed my ass today! At first I was shocked and appauled, and I
told him off for it. Thinking about it later though, there was just something that seemed too strong
about my reaction. I'll talk to him later and appologize for getting so upset, it wasn't really so ba
d.

Do any of you think that laptops from any other vendors would have survived that computer-hell for 20 minutes and *still* function at all?

I think that the manufacturer of the locks should sue AT&T under the DMCA for exposing weaknesses in an access control device. Furthermore, AT&T are terrorists for releasing this sensitive security information to the Net before other sites using the same locks are able to correct the vulnerability. I demand that the perpetrators that discovered the weakness with these locks be sentenced to life in prison. We can't have these hackers running free, finding security holes and disrupting national security!

There is not a single distro out there that is Linux. There are however, many *nix distributinos that use the Linux kernel. But they are not by definition Linux, but rather distributions of Linux. Linux is a kernel. Distributions are packaged chunks of software that form a complete operating system including a kernel and tools to make the system useful.
