...if OpenSource saves Hardware vendors, why dont they make drivers for OpenSource platforms (Linux, BSD, whatever)?
Except for some companies like Nvidia or ATI, I dont see any great moves towards non-Windows driver development:(

- Corrected analysis regarding use of sequence numbers to change IP address. - Added reference to alternate name "Stumbler" given to trojan by Internet Security Systems subsequent to the release of Intrusec's analysis.
Introduction:
Intrusec has completed an initial analysis of a trojan that appears to be one of several that is responsible for generating substantial scanning traffic across the Internet with a TCP window size of 55808. The trojan we have isolated appears to match many of the characteristics that others in the security community have reported for this trojan. However, we do not believe that the specific trojan we have identified is the sole source of the traffic generated, and do not know that it is a primary source.
The information we've been able to gather leads us to believe that the trojan we have captured is not the original source of the 55808 traffic that has been seen, but is rather a "copycat", created to mimic the behavior of another trojan or worm. The behavior of this copycat appears to be based on press releases, news articles, and mailing lists that described its hypothetical behavior and known output. Nonetheless, this copycat trojan appears to be actively deployed on systems across the Internet and is something security professionals should be aware of. Details contained in this analysis will be updated, and linked to linked to numerous analyses that will be done by other security researchers, as they become available.
Please visit and link to http://www.intrusec.com/55808.html to receive the latest information available regarding this trojan. There is apt to be great discussion about the nature of this "trojan" and whether in fact it is accurately characterized as a trojan, backdoor, zombie, or worm. While the specific binaries we have captured are probably described as a trojan or zombie, there is no assurance that other variants of this trojan may not be far more malicious in nature and contain worm or backdoor functionality. We are referring to the trojan we have captured, and the presumed other existing trojans generating similar traffic as "55808 Trojans," and the specific binary we have analyzed as "55808 Trojan - Variant A." All discussion in our analysis section refers specifically to the 'A' variant we have captured. Internet Security Systems subsequent to the release of this alert dubbed this "Stumbler", and refers to this same trojan by that name.
Analysis:
This trojan aims to be a distributed port scanner whose presence is very difficult to detect. It port scans random addresses across the IP address space, with a random source address also spoofed. By spoofing the source address, the trojan is able to avoid easy detection, but it also means it can not receive the results of the TCP SYN that is sent. However, since the trojan also sniffs the network it is on in promiscuous mode, it is likely, over time, to pick up scans from other installations of trojans that randomly selected a source address that happened to be on its subnet. As the number of trojans installed across the Internet grows, more spoofed packets will be sent out by each trojan, and more of the spoofed source addresses will be captured by other trojans.
Each time a reply to a trojan is seen, indicating an open port has been found, it is written to a file and saved. Daily, the trojan will then deliver the list of open ports it recorded while sniffing to a file and deliver that file to a predefined IP address.
In addition, a specially crafted packet can be sent to the subnet the trojan
Anyone else noticed that SCO continued to sell their Linux distribution for two months _AFTER_ they sued IBM? They even had a kernel source code on their servers available for download >:)

Soon we'll have a shadowed mouse cursor,
;)
I have this since I used the Nvidia drivers for the first time
One more step towards Linux XP ;)
Forget about v2os and try menuet OS.

Well, I dont know about 2.6, but you can install it on 2.5 tough :)
I am using a rock solid 2.5.70 since its released and its performs just great! And having Morton and Torvalds at OSDL is a good thing (tm) :)

I wont call people who cant make a any-browser compatible website "web developers".
Yep! Nvidia driver patch for Kernel 2.5.x:
- 2.5.diff
http://www.minion.de/files/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4363
See http://www.minion.de/nvidia.html for more info.
So when do they kill off Windows and blame it on Linux?
I have framebuffer AND nvidia drivers working.
:)
Gentoo has patches for the nvidia drivers in portage
About the module problems:
You have to install "module-init-tools" if you use the 2.5.x series: *click*
bazik@synack bazik $ uname -r
2.5.70
bazik@synack bazik $
Runs perfect on my system =) Looking forward for 2.6.x!
I dont care about Karma as this is just my opinion.
I personally hate when users can get points/goodies for something as this always leads to produce useless crap.
Dont let SCO buy the patent! They might sue everyone who ever saved a GIF file!
I've always heard that you couldn't decompile a program written with C++.
;)
Well, you can decompile every binary programm at least to assembler code, so why shouldnt it possible with C++?
Maybe he ment "you can't decipher the source of a C++ programm"
It was a simple question you insensitive clod!

You mean your pr0n collection?
Nope.

"How do you torture a spammer" would be more interesting.
Maybe tie him up on a light post and throw AOL CD's at him?
Uhh... remember me hitting "preview" next time :P
>> I remember the old saying "Don't code it include it!". Wasnt it: "Hey it compiles! Ship it!" ? :)
