Re: [CGUYS] Neighbor Runs A Crackhouse [Was: How to Install Fre
The problem is, a LOT of the windows vulnerabilities require exactly the same thing that was required on the mac...a single click on a website. From the article: While this is a significant flaw that needs to be patched, it is unlikely that anyone who wanted access to a system would be able to set up such a Rube Goldberg event chain to gain access to a specific users' files. They set this Rube Goldberg event chain all the time on windows, how many times is it because of what users do to their own systems? Again: Windows does not do this. (ask for permission to install/change system files etc) Even the new and improved Vista does not ask for authentication. It asks the user to click Allow, after previously having asked the user to click Allow repeatedly. Guess what most users will do when prompted to Allow some executable to do some technical sounding thing in the Registry? So the author describes security on both machines as having to force user input to allow changes, but only the mac guy is smart enough to hit cancel? Ridiculous. Vista gains a critical area in security and apparently it's not *exactly* as on a mac so it's a complete failure? More: An anonymous user on Slashdot (an anonymous user..wow..hope he triple checked his sources. He should have perhaps checked a security vendors website or maybe even, oh...Apple?) described the exploit as involving a JavaScript routine. Sun's Java and Netscape's JavaScript share little in common apart from their names, but both are third party browser plugins that are not specific to Safari. Exploiting either one and calling it a Mac exploit is disingenuous. So who is being disingenuous? eWeek reports that it is not a java problem but a Quicktime bug. http://securitywatch.eweek.com/apple/quicktime_bug_affects_all_javaenabled_browsers.html The blog goes on to blame in several instances that 'third party software was to blame' for any exploit. That also highlights a fact many 'security experts' don't seem to grasp: installing software changes your level of security. While Macs are quite secure when kept up to date, installing software and turning on new services can open one up to attack vectors that Apple can't control for you. Third party software?? It was a Quicktime bug...Apple. So now Apple installed Quicktime is third party software? This from Newsfactor: http://www.newsfactor.com/story.xhtml?story_id=51967 As it turns out, by enticing a user to visit a Web page containing a maliciously crafted Java applet, an attacker can exploit the QuickTime bug, leading to arbitrary code execution, according to an Apple bulletin. The bug is considered very serious, Apple said, and can be exploited through any Java-enabled browser, including Microsofthttp://www.cio-today.com/accuserve/accuserve-go.php?c=6098 [image: Relevant Products/Services]http://www.cio-today.com/accuserve/accuserve-go.php?c=6098's Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla's Firefox, and Apple's own Safari. The vulnerability affects Macs and Windows PCs. So now we have even APPLE calling it a quicktime bug. Looks like roughlydrafted is being a little disingenuous.

I could manage without Windows, but why not have it there, just in case? I used to do that, especially with books, but now books are obsolete and I'm gradually tossing them. When I toss an obsolete tech book that I never read that is a waste. Unlike books which are mostly not dangerous to have around (unless Homeland Security takes an interest in your reading habits), having Windows around can be potentially harmful. Would you keep a loaded shotgun at your front door, just in case? Some people would. The argument for not having Windows and not having that loaded gun is about the same. It could potentially hurt others. Both the gun and Windows owner will insist: I know what I'm doing. Yet the plague of shootings and the plague of malware would not exist if they were not around. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

It doesn't matter why he wants Windows on the Mac (he did tell us later on). It never occured to me to ask WHY he wanted to do it, I simply assumed that he had a need that the Mac was not able to meet on its own. The strident reactions remind me of a time when I was frequently telling people on a bus, airplane, waiting room, etc.: This is not a smoking area. Many were indignant that I was violating their rights. I am happy that times have changed. The point is that by using Windows you are harming me and I wish you would stop. The malware, spam, and security measures are becoming too much to bear. I should not be forced to build walls and hire guards just because you insist on running a crackhouse.

So what do we run? Couple of weeks ago it was proven an exploit for mac os could be written in under ten hours that would send out spam or do any number of the things you complain about . Maybe we should all use a commadore 64 and keep off the net completely. That would solve the problem.

I have spent over $10,000 on hardware this year, and untold time, that serves no purpose other than to scrub spam. I can tell you from experience, logs and stats that 90% of our spam is coming from infected Windows machines. I am beginning to firmly believe that Windows IS a virus.

Re: [CGUYS] Neighbor Runs A Crackhouse [Was: How to Install Fre
You need to reread the facts. http://www.macworld.com/news/2007/04/25/qthack/index.php That's from macworld, not exactly in the pocket of MS. It was not a proof of concept it was an actual exploit of an actual bug in quicktime. Changing the rules meant the mac user would have to go to a website and click a link...that's IT. That's ALL. This type of hack is the same as most on windows. So a hack that attacks a mac in the SAME WAY as windows is making it easier? As stated in the article it was akin to the windows cursor flaw, click and your owned. Take your Apple specs off and stand back, get some perpsective, your constant windows bashing is taking a toll on your objectivity. Windows is now like a loaded gun, and after stating that you say that's not an exaggeration? Mike On 5/8/07, Tom Piwowar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So what do we run?

Re: [CGUYS] Neighbor Runs A Crackhouse [Was: How to Install Fre
This contest proved that a mac could be hacked easily...as soon as there was some motive to do so which was money. This has been the contention of many that the reasons macs aren't targeted is not because they are more secure but because there is no point, no money in it. If your job is to get as many machines on a botnet as possible why would you target such a minuscule audience? If you are interested in making money from spam, again why target an audience where there are nothing but empty seats in the theater? In April alone Apple released a dozen security patches that could allow arbitrary code to be run. Each one of these a possible exploit of the type that was used at CanSecWest. Right now is it 'safer' to run mac os then windows? Sure. But I think the reason why that is so is misunderstood by most mac users. The spread of this misinformation doesn't do anyone any good. It's become a knee jerk reaction from mac users when talked to about security to just recite the mantra 'we are more secure'. All I hope for is a little intellectual honesty about the topic and less kool-aid. Mike On 5/8/07, Mason Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When was the last time this happened on a Mac?

I don't know if Vista has been checked, but a new XP SP 2 computer, connected directly to the Internet (no router, say a DSL modem or cable modem - as most ISPs want you to do, even now), will be hacked in a matter of minutes (usually around 10-20 minutes).
