A Recent letter from the people at harvard say that they will return the
data, but Mr Williams stated that he doesn't think it will be put back
up.. I've got about 1.8G of the site locally, but my 512k DSL line won't
support the 10G of transfer the site had daily. The site is currently
being rebuilt from people contrib'ing to packetstorm.nl.linux.org
but it's not even close to the 8G it had. Some moron uploaded the index.htm
file so you can't get a directory listing, but maybe Ken will get it back
online somewhere after he gets the data from Harvard (if he actually does)

"We don't know why they did that. All it does is put an extraordinary
number of people at risk," said Jason Garms, the lead product manager
for Windows NT security - commenting on eEye's release of the .HTR
exploit as if the vulnerability itself didn't put anyone at risk.
