    See how I flipped it? You are now the government in your little cliche fanaticism of ignorance.

    Seriously, there is always someone somewhere doing something. If you want to close off your options, stay away from society, and keep your beliefs that everyone but you is bad, that is fine. But your hypocracy will do nothing for you nor solve your self-involving conundrum.

    Grow up, manage the issues, and realize that no one is perfect, including you.

    No doubt, that and what is essentially a 1.73GB text file is quite an impressive feat.

    But this document does raise the question... can WikiLeaks or other leak sites be "selective" in their leaks?
    If someone is anonymously exposing secrets that can hurt others, can that anonymous person also be "leaked" and take the same risk?

    It is a gray area, for I want to know when people are doing bad things in the name of the country I live in and thus support through taxes, voting, and taking part in the very things that make our society function. But do I think that everyone and everything should be open?
    What do we define as "bad", and who makes the distinctions?
    Could those making the distinctions also fall under the possibility of "doing bad things"?
    To semi-quote an old saying from a Galaxy far far away.... This slope is slippery with this one.

  15. Re:Deja vu on Ex-Board Member Says HP Is Committing 'Corporate Suicide' · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Kind of,

    HP has had so many leaders within the past 10 years that they have no idea what assets they have.
    Hell, HP bought a company that was a start up for the cloud idea back in... 2006 I think. They did nothing with it.
    Now they are scrambling to fix it up, and the offering wont be that great if current middle management has its way.
    HP lacks direction because quite simply HP hasnt had anyone worth a damn at the helm, leading to assets that they bought in the past to stagnate.

    HPs problem is literally itself.

    Their management style needs to change, middle management needs to be cleaned out and those that are smarter need to rise up.
    Until then, this company will bleed money, sell off divisions, and end up as small as it was back in 1995.
    If HP sells its printer lines, then you know they are in trouble.

    Maybe, but I wouldnt want an end users virused system access to my networks or servers.

    RDP offers better limitations to it.
    True, you could close off every port but 3389 to the VPN, you could limit access to only one server, but then the requests start coming in...
    Besides, wouldnt an SSL RDP session be more viable?

    Hmmmm, after reading the article, I do not see any actual exploit being used and it is required that the server or account that was seemingly brute forced (only possible way) is required to have some GPO allowances such as root C or D drive access, the execute permissions on that drive.

  22. Finally on New Worm Morto Using RDP To Infect Windows PCs · · Score: 2

    A lot of IT uses RDP to access servers remotely. Terminal Services is also used heavily by companies.

    So I was wondering when someone would find and then use an exploit against them. It was only a matter of time :(.

    The good news is the damage may be minimal as it seems to only effect 2k3 R2 servers, at least that is what is reported. It may be all of 2k3 or all 2k3/2k8.
