    Yeah, I did. RBLs for known virus offenders.

    But the story will be the same as RBL lists for e-mail servers.

    Also in the faq for the program, a dutch ISP can apply to be whitelisted.

    What about people???

    So how does this constitute locking down their customers?

    So, do you really know who sent you virus??? Then, you are the only one on this world.

    RBLs don't work (at least without constant help of admin). Reason? Some admins are incompetent and they allow spam without knowing. Company gets reported and blocked. But there are other people that do depend on communication with *Spammer-Company* and would allow their mail servers to process their messages. Even I had to whitelist such companies for at least 10 times.

    In addition, do ISPs want virus spreading customers?

    In addition, does customer wants ISP that's blocking him to get to the net? NO!

    Imagine a little bit that you own a company and you depend on e-mail. Does this company want such ISP??? NO! I just imagine you running to the neighboor to send urgent mail, because you had worm and now you're blocked.

    Good question is if W3C specs will be enough for vector drawing app.

    Not sure where you're getting this from, though I don't think it's hard to tell (your ass). Anything not heavily system dependent can easily be compiled on Windows using GCC/Cygwin or Mingw or what have you.

    1. Out of the world. My bussiness allows me to see a lot of different machines.

    2. My ass doesn't talk back so it would be hard to confirm understanding. I agree

    3. Most of UI based software is based on KDE and Gnome. Except on Cygwin, I don't imagine being ported. Cygwin on another matter is just licking icecream trough the glass (like Wine).

    4. Secondary ported applications never feel *AT HOME* on Windows. WM is just too different. Gimp for example plain sucks on Windows. And Gimp is my favorite pic_editor. Difference in WM is the one that makes it unusable (Not that port is bad).

    Winamp is bad?

    After 2.x, yes. Nullsoft sucks lately

    ZoomPlayer is bad?

    Comparing to mplayer it basically SUCKS. Like all video players on Windows. *Yeah, I know! Where do I get this from? All of my friends have installed movie players. And all have one Linux partition to watch movies in a decent manner. They all tryed BS,Zoom,Media... Players. And none was satisfactory enough. They all rather sacrificed 4GB for Linux and reboot for watching. Even though almost none of them doesn't use Linux

    Girder is bad?

    Girder screws when you have another remote. TV tuner, which forces him self to be *usable*. Drivers with tv tuners sometimes do that, you know.

    PuTTY is bad?

    Lack of support for X11 (on Windows), different codepages screw your terminal. Yeah, and Linux version I don't need. I already have terminal

    Most of the software isn't ported. And Windows mostly has shareware. Quantity of freeware is very low, and as original poster said, mostly very bad quality.

    It's not the problem with working or not.

    Snort just isn't ready for serious use in enterprise. Sounds silly, but... Too many false positives may very well lock network.

    Here is a simpler case. On Port detectors.
    Why don't port detectors use iptables lock out of port scanners (or even better why it is not suggested).

    Most of port scan detectors count actual SYN,FIN and other blocked TCP blocks which are marked as invalid on your firewall. Not even one of them doesn't take to account that some features are completely valid even though they are not. (here is the case: You're running ftp server, that means port 21 is open, does it really matters if SYN,FIN occurs on that port???) Secondary they don't take to account some stupidity. (You don't really care if one machine has scanned your port XXX (yes, your pr0n port) for 50 times), result was always the same. This should count as 1 and not as 50. With this relatively simple logic port scan detectors would exclude false positives in a very simple way. And you could be sure thatsomeone that scanned 50 ports (different and not public open) is really port scanner.

    Now go to second level. Porscan detector is just one of many functions that snort provides. And even here there's many false positives.

    Actualy I use Snort very differently. Redirected logs to my external processor and this processor excludes invalid information, after that reaction on firewall or server follows. That way was the only possible way to get fairly restrictive measures with not too many false positives.

  20. Yep, Snort is great, but... on Snort up For Revamp, says Creator · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Too many features might really mean to many false alerts (logs or mysql tables can get pretty crowded). But in any case it's usable to detect default signatures of attacks pretty well.

    Should be used? Yes, except some functions should be disabled
    Should be remodeled? Yes

    It has the same flaw as port scan attack detectors.
