my wink did not work... :(

if your trojan scanner comes from a company called moosoft, can you be sure it is not a troajn itself? :wink:

a few questions: openbsd proactivily audits, 40 vulnerabilities all up, slackware is insecure by default and only has thirty, someone care to explain? if i were to make a linux distro using secure alternitives to every service, eg qmail, vsftpd etc etc, would that be more/just as secure as...

At my school we've got a pretty good setup. The sat dish running @ 400Kbs, at best, goes into a linux box to the proxy and to the switch cabinet. My friend and i have chosen to do an assingment to find a way to speed up the bandwidth tot he user on the system. The Proxy and the Linux are 400Mhz...

just wondering, with all the patches for security such as lids and selinux, do they not open up the kernel to its own exploits?

hi all, are there any exploits/vulnarabilities for firebox's? i am thinking about getting one.

first up, win2k, a default win2k server install running iis5.0, are there any know epxloits? second of all, is a hardened linux kernel, eg lids and openwall as discussed on securityfocus more secure than openbsd? thanks in advance.

sorry about posting here. i am in australia, and want to start a web hosting company. how would i go about this? do i have to purchase an ip range from telstra? how much would that be roughly? then do i just set up virtual domains on an apche server, and get the dns data for the domain name to...
