  1. Mortimer on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Multi-User Password Management? · · Score: 1

    I've checked out and briefly used Mortimer ( https://github.com/aiaio/mortimer ) before and it seems a decent tool.

    "mortimer is a password storage application that supports multiple users and basic permissions. The app relies on public key cryptography to facilitate a multi-user password system whose data remains secure even if the database is compromised. Admin users have permission to all password entries on the system. Users may be given permission on a password-group basis."

    The highlight bug was kind of a bug in php as well as phpBB. addslashes(urldecode($somevar)) allowed ' to get through due to the way php handles unicode.

  5. Re:Missing the point on Microsoft to Deploy SPF for Hotmail Users · · Score: 1

    They are about to.. that was the point of the aticle.

  6. Took long enough! on German Court Says GPL is Valid · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The GPL v2 has been around for 13 years and this is the first time it's been proven valid, even though it's in such widespead use.

    I guess it's a testament to the plain english and common sense language of the licence.

  7. Missing the point on Microsoft to Deploy SPF for Hotmail Users · · Score: 5, Informative

    A great opt in solution... .. If you don't have SPF records in your DNS, it doesn't mean Hotmail won't accept your mail.

    If you DO have SPF record for your domain, and the message wasn't sent from one of the specified IP addresses, then Hotmail may block your message.

    But the real kicker is when you recieve a message from someone@hotmail.com. If the IP address used to send the message isn't listed in hotmail's SPF TXT DNS record then you know it's not a message sent from hotmail. And same for Gmail :

    dig -t txt gmail.com
    gmail.com. 300 IN TXT "v=spf1 a:mproxy.gmail.com a:rproxy.gmail.com -all"

    Which means that the only servers authorized to send mail from @gmail.com are mproxy and rproxy.gmail.com

  8. Novell will do alright in the Linux market on Novell as Open Source Hero? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They have something RedHat don't, sales offices world wide. They are really pushing the linux message, and are more free software (in beer and freedom) than the pre-Novell SuSE was : open source yast, free downloads for SuSE 9.1. Also they are porting most of their applications to run on linux.

  9. Good for spammers on Verisign Speeds Up DNS Updates · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Isn't this good news for spammers? Now they can quicky shift their websites round before their hosting companies shut them down.

  11. More than half based on Knoppix on Giant List Of Linux-based Live CDs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Over half of these 100 "Distros" are Knoppix remasters. Here's a list of 60+ Knoppix remasters. The reason there are so many? It's very easy to make your own Knoppix remaster. I'm pretty sure many of these distros have 5 users if the're lucky.

  12. Re:Blocking the virus on the mail server on MyDoom Windows Worm DDoSing SCO · · Score: 1

    I copied the 550 from the bounce message. So yes, it is a SMTP response code.. but from a bounce message, that also contained the complete attachments.

    USER A gets the viris
    The virus then spoofs an email FROM me to SERVER A
    SERVER A then sends me a bounce message.

  13. Blocking the virus on the mail server on MyDoom Windows Worm DDoSing SCO · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I don't want to /download/ the virus.

    For those blocking at the server level, please silently drop, DON'T BOUNCE the message, as it has spoofed from addresses. E.g. 1000s of these bounce messages:

    host xxx: 550-message rejected -- looks like a virus 550 (attachment 'file.zip' contains executable file

    are as bad as 1000 viruses..

    Companies are outsourcing development becasue it can be cheaper, faster and better. Not becasue sys admins are in the way of developers.

  16. Monthy Updates on Yet Another Critical Windows Flaw · · Score: 1

    To think that there are so many flaws in windows, and so many critical updates that they have to release them in batches because system admins are over worked constantly patching MS boxes..

    This cnet article makes entertaining reading

    Microsoft released its first monthly security update on Wednesday, following a new schedule that attempts to ease the load on overburdened system administrators.
    "All of the five critical (vulnerabilities) are, of course, critical, so that means they are wormable," said Jeff Jones, senior director of Microsoft's security business unit.

    As far as I know, you still can't buy a so called SCO Linux licence.

    If they ever have any Q&A sessions, some well formed questions about this would show the visitors that SCO is full of it.

    Hotmail's one has a link "click here if you can't see the image" which then proceeds to read you the letters via an audio file which you can then type in.
