Hi All; I am not a heavy poster but thanks to Steve Gibson's website and newsserver I kept myself and a friend of mine out of trouble when the latest security breech hit the "Net". I am on a T3 line that if this security breech reach it's full potential here could have managed to bring a good piece of the net to a standstill just by the holes that M$ left in it's NT based stuff (Like IIS 4&5). I had several months ago changed my 2 windows 2000 boxes from a stock/Pached IIS 5 to Apache and boy I am glad I did!!! My 2 boxes alone could have been used to really nail a big site or 2 if someone had managed to breech my servers. If you wish more info go to www.grc.com and news://news.grc.com As a note: I also have seen more strange traffic via my logs and my router logs. And if Microsoft manages to release Raw Sockets, we are all TOAST!! Even if we use Linux or other non MS OS's. Franklin S.
