Here's an idea. Microsoft spend these next 2 years making the "Ultimate" OS. They release it, and then announce that they are sick of writing software, and sell the company, and release the source code under the GPL.
That'd be quite a competitor then....
Yeah, I'd heard about this. I mean, I use a net installer for when I need a nice small install of Debian, but for a full distro? I suppose I could mirror it somewhere locally - does the installer allow you to point to the location you want?
No ISOs, no testing, no install.

I don't know how good it is, because they don't let you download ISOs. Simply put, if I (as a user and home user) can't test them, and play, they're never ever going to be bought, and used on my servers at work. Sorry guys, but that's the way it is. You've got to let people try stuff out before they buy. And I don't mean some boot-from-CD-run-in-RAM-thing. If people weren't familiar with MS from using it at home, it'd have a lot less market share in the workplace.
C-JDBC 1.0alpha0? Unfortunately the very people that need large resiliant clusters probably won't fancy giving alpha software a go. But it can only mature, and get better.
Spoofed UDP packets are generally nasty. But it's the only way to be truely anonymous. Also, when an ISP filters, they only probably filter their/22-14 on their external routers - this means that as long as you can configure the randomising function, you can make the app choose only IP addresses that are within that range. Hey presto, still anonymous.
So it's not fully anonymous then? And going after the proxying machines could take down the whole network? No, in my mind, it's got to be a: completely anonymous for sharers, and b: unable to be targetted. The more you think about it, the more spoofed UDP is the way to go.
If you want total anonymity, then you have to use a broadcast mechanism. If it's proven to be totally anonymous for file sharers, and almost anonymous for the file requesters, then people won't have any qualms about leaving their machines sharing out content.
Yep, we're trying to build a P2P app that uses spoofed UDP source addresses. It works, but it's only in very basic alpha at the mo. It uses anonymous broadcasts to perform the queries. The main problem is the file transfer - it is hard to do flow control if you can't talk directly to the remote host. Have a look - http://udpp2p.sourceforge.net/ - if you think you can help, we'd be grateful.
You have something called an IP address which you can spoof if you're using UDP for the queries and data transfer. Of course, it makes flow control difficult. http://udpp2p.sourceforge.net/
That's a complete abomination. I can't believe no-one else has commented. Or is it cos it's a joke, and I'm the first sucker to fall for it?
So, instead of typing/sbin/ifconfig, I have to type/System/Commands/ifconfig ? Did you ever stop to think about why all the commonly used Unix commands are short? About why the directories are short? it's because over decades of using unix, you're actually saving time./usr/bin =/System/Executables ? Nasty.
Yeah, I know that - they're all blocked by default.
But this was lots of different IP addresses - also, there aren't any Windows machines on my local subnet. (Which is at work before you ask)
Yeah. The DNS server has two types of record for ipv6.umtstrial.co.uk - one is the standard A record (ipv4), and one is the AAAA record (ipv6). Try setting the record type to AAAA, and then try the query again. The address you should get is 2001:618:15:226::2371

attacker.com has probably just drowned under a sea of emails....
What's the betting they've just renamed it? Try emailpwdreset2.srf or similar, lol ;)

So Microsoft are surprised that people use their SQL Server software to run databases on the internet?
Yep. Me too. So who's the other one? :)
Not at all.
Think about full screen X logins, a la X -query w.x.y.z. I've never worked out how to tunnel a fullscreen login over SSH.
My boss trusts me to make the decisions that fall under the job he hired me for.

Er, I believe it is called British Telecom ;)

Something completely anonymous? Care to help us out?

You shook your stick at one platform. NetBSD can run on > 1... :)
Because I expect that Slashdot readers would be able to confirm another worm hitting the net much faster than waiting for it to get onto Google.

Is there a new worm on tcp/139 and tcp/445 ?
I'm seeing loads of hits on this port on one of my boxes, but not on some others?
From man iptables:
EXTRA EXTENSIONS
The following extensions are not included by default in the standard
distribution.
TTL
This target is used to modify the time to live field in the IP header.
It is only valid in the mangle table.
ttl set ttl
Set the TTL to the given value.
ttl dec ttl
Decrement the TTL by the given value.
ttl inc ttl
Increment the TTL by the given value.
Which Uni is it? That sounds almost criminal :)
We'll go and hassle them for you.
