You have a low enough UID to have a clue, so I'm curious, why do you have Apache resolving IPs in the log? Low volume server, or maybe you know the magic to make the resolution fast enough for Apache not to care? (I'm assuming Apache, anyway).
I've been hit twice more since I started reading this story. 53 Code Red checks on my 16 IPs now. Heard from a couple of people with Cisco 678s, too. They aren't very happy today.
If so, telnet to it, enter password, enable, enter password, then:
set web disable
write
reboot
Best to update to CBOS 2.4.1.
BTW, I've been hit 51 times today (one machine covering 16 IP addresses). No effect, of course, but it is funny to see in the logs. Almost 400 hits in one day last month.
An 8.5x11 (or thereabouts), thin, lightweight, long battery life, fully capable computer. Good wireless network connectivity. Voice capabilities. Enough horsepower and storage to watch movies, listen to music, play Quake, use the Gimp, edit HTML, and monitor remote servers, preferably all at the same time. TV out, network jacks, USB, firewire, PS/2, IR, RF, etc. What I want is my desktop computer on a thin sheet of paper. Cheap enough to be disposable, rugged enough to use in the rain, and light enough to carry ten of them with me at a time.
Something easy and cheap enough to be sent in the mail in a padded 8.5x11 envelope would be nice. A self contained presentation machine.
Don't forget built in GPS with a load of GIS data built in.
I take it one step further, and have one of my domains setup to take any address, and forward it to my real address. I used to use a +, but ran into occasional problems when filling out some forms.
Amazing how much of my spam comes from network solutions.
Okay, this is a serious question. I'm not much on math...
Let's say I had a list of primes (which, I suppose, I would have to find first). I pick two, and want to multiply them. Can I use a computer? Is this one of the problems? I tried some large number operations with bc, and it core dumped on me.
Call it a shot in the dark, call it boring, but it would be nice to have a list of prime numbers, pick a couple, check them, and see if I hit it. Not that I expect to, but I'm always looking for a way to alleviate the boredom of confernece calls...
Okay, let's say I'm bored, and I am not familiar with the details of these challenges. I just have to pick two prime numbers that, when multiplied, equal the result?
I'm serious here. I know it is one shot in a trillion or 10, but simply as an exercise, is that all there is to it?
Similar things have been done. I've seen trojans that install the distributed net client under someone else's e-mail address. Mostly on lab type machines. Zip up your client with some program, put it on gnutella, and watch your stats go up.
Changing anything that Microsoft considers 'default' or 'normal' can be a problem, even when the change is relatively easy to make. In your example, I have a feeling that if you installed any additional software to work with IIS, especially MS software, it would have issues with your simple change. It just assumes that everything is the default, even if it could just check the registry during install.
To make myself a little bit clearer (while my coffee is still kicking in this morning), I'll give an example. I am a command line user, even in Linux and Windows. Try using Program Files in a command line path. It gets very, very repetitive. So I changed it to Programs. Registry search and replace, rename, a couple of other things. Yes, there is a registry key for the location of Program Files, and properly written software looks for it during an install or run. But try to install a a patch, or an upgrade, or anything else, and watch your Program Files directory magically reappear. The assumption is that nobody changes it, so Program Files is hard coded.
My point? Even when MS leaves a way to change things, they often don't honor it. So the harder you try to customize or secure a system, the more you have to work to make sure that you haven't broken something else. A sad state of affairs, it is.

Might be good for a server with just power and a network cable coming out of it, but would be a problem for a normal case. Too many cables, going every which way. Sure, you can extend the keyboard, mouse, power, network, modem, but I've never had luck with the video. Too much noise.
I tried painting all of my stuff with that rock paint once. Maybe I should have sealed it, because it didn't do so well. It did look nice for a day or so, but when paint chips start falling into the CD-ROM drive, it is time to cut the losses.
I don't know, but I'm still getting it. I better not mention this again, though, as I was marked as a troll within seconds of posting. People have no sense of humor around here.
Not a safe assumption to make. While I'm now fortunate enough to have SDSL, I was stuck with 26.4 for almost 2 years. Many others are in the same boat. Phone companies will do anything to squeeze more lines into existing hardware, and it is the modems that suffer. Many people are SOL when it comes to bandwidth.
Yes, I realize this was probably a troll, but 26.4 when you are doing remote monitoring is enough to drive you crazy, and make you pissed off for years to come...
My brother's phone number was listed under someone else's name in the phone book, and the telemarketing calls were always for the wrong person. One day, I must have been in a bad mood when they called:
"May I speak to Mrs. Smith, please?"
"I'm sorry, she's dead. I just killed her."
silence... "what???"
"I've just killed her. She's lying on the floor right here."
Turns out it was Circuit City of all places, and they must have thought I was serious. I got a call from the local police about 15 minutes later, and I could tell that the guy on the phone was trying very hard not to laugh...
I'm suprised that 'conspiracy' charges can be used not just for prosecuting criminals, but for extending sentences, pressuring people into testifying, and sometimes as a form of prior restraint.
Think about it this way - if we have a conversation about poisons, and you know I am trying to get back at someone, you might assume that I intend on poisoning this person. But what if I am an author, and I need information about poison to make my book realistic? Or if I am researching for a thesis on the subject? Or if I am just interested in the subject?
Conspiracy should never be a charge without a hell of a lot of evidence that the crime was, indeed, about to take place. And if a crime takes place, that should be what is prosecuted. Conspiracy charges are another way to suspend liberties.
Is the webmaster of space.com reading this? The site looks nice, there is a lot of information, but it is pure navigational hell. I feel like I am going in circles. Hundreds of things to click on, but they don't seem to get me anywhere
You know, it's almost 6:00 AM here, and I was just wondering if I should get a few hours of sleep instead of pulling yet another all-nighter and forcing myself to stay awake until later tonight. I think I just made my decision.

Was it a Cisco 67x? Qwest DSL perhaps?

At the risk of being slightly off topic...

From an e-mail from my brother about this subject:
I just hope we'll have occasional episodes that have Star Trek cameos. Here's the ones I can't wait to see:
James Doohan comes on to prove that Scottish food isn't that bad when you're piss drunk.
George Takai shows just how to make the most Americanized Chinese food in the world.
Special guest Wil Wheaton gets used for the "long pig cookoff spectacular"
And finally, Iron Chef French vs. the replicator!!!
Can I move to your planet?

It seems that /. has been /.ed, or has it perhaps been Hubbarded? Has the CO$ amassed forces for a giant DDOS?
Oh yeah, this is supposed to be about Napster. Napster is pretty cool. It will never go away, the source is already out there.
Linux is cool, too. So is Linus. And RMS.
