It obviously was of value to the moderators - otherwise they would not have modded it up. Neither is everyone who disagrees with you wrong, nor does the slashdot moderation system ensures that "correct" or "scientificly good" or whatever comments get modded up - but comments the moderators like, for whatever reason.
I guess they liked it because they thought "hey that's an interesting question" - whethet you agree with them does not matter.
While I did not read the complete document I actually read the part about checking for vulnerabilities - but I could not find an answer to my question. Perhaps my question was not phrased that well - I am sorry for this but with a little bit good will (which you obviously do not have) one certainly could understand it.
ServerTokens Prod is the littlest setting for the normal compile. Of course if you changed the source (e.g. applied the patch available in the apache.org contrib area) this doesn't apply..
Thank you for your answer and sorry I cannot express myself better.
Actually I did really _read_ the parts you quoted. My question was more about laws. Doesn't probing if it is vulnerable (i.e. actually "playing the attack") count as attacking?
THIS was what I was asking. But thanks for beeing so friendly and trying to allege me I am a stupid cocksucker.
Cheers.
I found this part, thank you. Sorry I cannot express it better. I meant if the SSL version check, and the SSL2 = enabled check fails - how do you check then?

How does one check if a server is vulnerable without actually "breaking in", i.e. make oneself liable to prosection?
I skimmed through the PDF but could not find anything about this.
Thank you.
I have many reasons that my main operating system is Microsoft Windows:
I am used to Windows. I started with windows around 10 years ago, I didn't really know anything else for around 6 to 7 years. If you're working with an operating system for many years you get to know it, you get used to it, you learn about its kinks and itches. This increases your effectiveness in working with the OS
I am used to the program I found for Windows. It takes much time to find an email client you like, find a newsreader you like, find a web browser you like. Once you found it you get used to it - just as you got used to the operating system itself. It took much time, it paid off - you can use it really well, you're "a good team with your programs".
Windows 2000 is not that unstable. While not really having much experience with Linux on the desktop the first tries where disappointing. SuSE 6.0 (2 or three years ago, I think) regularly freezed under KDE. It just wasn't fun trying to get used to an operating system which crashes more often than even Windows 95.
While it might be unfair to compare the current situation with the situation two or three years ago, also the Windows stability has advanced - at least for me, since I changed from 9x to 2000. It really satisfies my.
The long and the short of it: I do not see enough advantages on changing to Linux. Costs isn't an argument for me - we have quite cheap campus licences at university. I can only think about two things:
Freedom Linux and most its programs are "free". Good. Nice. So I won't have to pay for most of them. And I have this warm fuzzy feeling in my belly. Well, I also get this when drinking warm coffee. The argument but you can change whatever program you want in any way you want doesn't really count for me - as probably for most Windows users - because I cannot really program.
More flexible programs As far as I can judge it most program are more adapable, flexible - even if one cannot code and make use of the freedoms Free Software offers.
That's it, I hoped you can gain some insight into a typical Windows User's Brain now;-)
The title of the story mentions "censored" which in itself is BAD, right? but slashdot seems to be rather positive about it.
so what opinion should i have now?! could anyone please help?
it would be cool if the stories on slashdot made it easier to get an appropriate slashdot-like opinion.
Comcast has this f*cking webpage without an useful abuse report address/form. They do not have postmaster@ or webmaster@ addresses. Obviously they aren't able to administer such services well:-/
And now they get another large chunk of the internet.. that's bad news, even for us guys overseas
uhm. you know there's more to do for a DNS server? Like reverse lookups? MX lookups?......? Not that easy as you might think! But - why didn't you write a fast, secure, simply ideal DNS server?
Anyone knows about Softimage? I wonder why it wasn't included in this small comparisson, I thought it was a quite advanced system?
Thank you for any information!
Though this argument is not really good because the news are not "Elliptic Curve Cryptography can/will be broken" but "Elliptic Curve Cryptography Broken", i.e. "has been broken"
(sorry for possibly bad english)

I was the girlfriend oft this guy for three years and can attest he spent neglecting me and only fooling around with his computer thingies.
I guess they liked it because they thought "hey that's an interesting question" - whethet you agree with them does not matter.
Though I actually don't really care:
I can't believe that I get modded down just for you saying "his posting sucks"
Think about it.

It's fun noone of you nice replying folks (thank you btw for your answers anyway) got it that this was only a joke. :P
Though there are probably satellite pictures of those missile bases on Cuba they were discovered from a plane.

What about collateral damage of these lasers, compared to the laser mounted on those fight planes mentioned a while ago?
Thanks!

uhm. on the linked page it says "Solaris 8" and "2GB RAM"....? A bit unexact or did I miss something?
Thanks.
According to the release notes there are "Over 1800 pre-built and tested packages". :-)
