Yes. But if you'd asked the 1000+ Russian people in the theatre, surrounded by 50 terrorists with guns and bombs if they'd take a 9/10 chance of survival, I expect most of them would.
It's not good that those people died. But I think it was a good result, bearing in mind how the land lay.
A friend of mine registered a domain for his wife, and set up a little vhost on his Apache/Linux/ADSL box. He also added her an MX record so she could be anyone@herdomain.com. Anyway, all of a sudden he rings me - his box is going absolutely mad. I logged on and worked out that someone has fired off a huge mortgage spam, with her domain as the reply to address. His 512k link was just saturated with returns, out of office messages, mailbox full messages, and people angrily contacting him to ask why he was sending them spam. His poor box couldn't take it, and neither could his bandwidth, so he ended up setting the MX to 127.0.0.1. I think it's still set up like that now.
Have a second internet with a completely different method of assigning IP address.
NAT all traffic passing through your box.
Hey presto, no-one knows if it came from you, or the person behind you, and there is no ISP that can be asked who "owned" an IP at a certain time.
Americans do seem to like, and think that everyone else likes, the sound of them shouting loudly into phones. At one company I worked for, all the English employees had phones with speakerphones built in, but used the handset out of consideration. Any American employees that came over always put the phone on speakerphone, and shouted their conversation loudly with the other person. Maybe they were taking advantage of the nice quiet office.
The best thing for Linux would be ntfs2ext2,3,reiserfs, whatever, and a Windows ext2/3/reiserfs driver.
Get people converted to an open filesystem, I say.
Anyone know if a gentoo-sources kernel compiled with grsec High Security level is still vulnerable? Maybe some of the memory address space randomisations will help out here - I'm not too sure.
Do you think that broadband has contributed to peoples attention spans becoming shorter? Because, now that pages load faster than I can click, I get annoyed more quickly if a page takes slightly longer to load. I'm tutting if Google isn't there in 1 second, and clicking again, and again, to punish it for its....
I'm bored now.
every lock designed by a human can be picked by a human
Nope - what about public/private key crytography?
It's easy to create a huge number from 2 primes, and fiendishly difficult to work out what those two primes were afterwards.
Curses. I was away when this article was posted. I have been tracking myself for a long time now. There are some really cool location based applications we are working on.
Set up some fake scripts like/default.ida, which append the IP address of the attacker to a file (/var/log/denylist )?
Then just run an iptables on that file every minute, blocking all in it.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm disturbed. Are you collecting a list of female Slashdot readers?
You're joking about this, aren't you? About the 1 min/2 min thing?
You may, but I'm lost as to what you mean by that. Please explain.

It's like the TARPIT target in IPtables - just keeps tcp connections open for ever. It slows down a TCP portscan pretty much. :)

Heh, that age old trick is still working...
I think the moral of the story is not to have a .org top level domain.
What was the best thing before sliced bread though?

Hmm. I wonder how many people that write their own PHP and CGI escape everything they should....? :)

Why is piracitam illegal in the UK? Anyone know?

And didn't they smash up the house of a paediatrician? God, you've got to love mob rule.

Why not everytime the nachine boots, it sends out an email - that way you can get the whole SMTP path in the headers.
Users on a multi-user computer system behave like viruses, utilising the hosts resources, sometimes even going wild and destroying the host itself.
Nope, 1 American is worth 1000 of the rest of us, and so, they are numerically superiour in this world.
