  1. Ads in the sky on Visibility Of The ISS Grows · · Score: 1
    The idea isn't new. but they don't need to put stuff in the sky, only project an image.

    It may take a LOT of energy, but more than enough can be right at the doors of a nuclear powerplant.

    It was invented on 60's (or 50's?) but the main problem would be ppl suing the gov for it. And also there could be tampering, ie. drawing a joint in the mouth of the president on campaign... Well, maybe that could get him some extra points, who knows ;)

    IMHO boycotts against superpowerful monopolies are a waste of time. In this case they have the rights of many TV shows and many music artists.

    And they won't ever get paid by any pirate-like distribution.

  9. THERE IS A BUFFER OVERFLOW! on Microsoft IIS4 Backdoor Claim Retracted · · Score: 2
    Why all talk WITHOUT checking?

    Facts:

    1. IIS w/ option pack HAS a "backdoor" with "netscapeengeniersareweenies" (or something like that).
      • It allows every user with access to read all other user's .asp files. This seems not to be a bug!
      • I HAVE SEEN IT WORK.
      • So as it is would affect mostly web-hosting companies
    2. BUT, Core-SDI's Gera and Beto have found a buffer overflow vulnerability.
      • It lets ANYBODY on the internet to crash a IIS with mentioned option pack (called a DOS).
      • It is demonstrated using a perl script posted on BUGTRAQ.
      • It seems HIGLY POSSIBLE to use THIS buffer overflow for arbitrary remote code execution.
      • I HAVE SEEN IT WORK.
      • So as it is affect ALL IIS w/ option pack4 on the net!!!
    Notes:
    • I work too at Core-SDI.
    • I hate lewsers talking without even trying it.
    • I hate how SLASHDOT just becomes vaporware-information.
    • This are the same guys who spotted RSALIB's overflows last year!

    Theo posted on bugtraq a couple of times about net/free securitybugs that where already fixed in OpenBSD. But hey I do respect other BSDs. They have their strengths too:

    FreeBSD -> speed of light (say yahoo.com/cdrom.com)

    Hi,

    I've heard lots of times you took the BSD

    I did look at both and they do look too
    similar and BSD's was earlier.

  19. yes, ANYCAST! grrr some specs on IANA Deploying IPv6 · · Score: 1
    Hmm you noted right my mistake...

    o Anycast address is not distinguishable from non-anycast, unicast addresses.
    o Anycast address can be assigned to multiple interfaces of multiple nodes.
    o Anycast address MUST NOT be assigned to an IPv6 host. It can be assigned to an IPv6 router only.
    o Anycast address MUST NOT be used in source address field in IPv6 header.

    therefore no tcp to them! forget the web example... here are some specs

  20. IT's UNICAST addressing on IANA Deploying IPv6 · · Score: 1
    I believe you were talking about unicast IP addresses. Those are specially handy for mirrors, eg. say slashdot gets 80 mirrors around the world. They assign a unicast IP addr to www.slashdot.org, and assign that IP on every mirror. when a client wants to connect to it, he automagically is routed to the closer mirror. Kiss goodbye mirror lists :)

  24. Protocol Independent Software on IANA Deploying IPv6 · · Score: 1
    the problem is userland apps!

    W. Richard Stevens in his book Unix Network Programming specifies all the needed steps to use sockets with ANY protocol supported by DNS. There's a lot of work there, just pick any util/app using AF_INET sockets.

    IPv6 needs a huge addressing space for it's mobile host thingie. I would really like CISCO to support it, since they're the main obstacle. The problem arises when every network was planned IPv4 based. Just think a bit about firewalls!
