I wasn't going to respond to that because it was so patently obvious, but since you did, I'll append this note - I have flashed my DSL router three times since I bought it. I've had it for about a year. (It's not a LinkSys or a NetGear router. It's an SMC Barricade.)
In case anyone hasn't noticed, you have to patch some systems almost daily - RedHat, for example, Windows obviously, etc., etc. Paul Schmehl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Adjunct Information Security Officer The University of Texas at Dallas AVIEN Founding Member http://www.utdallas.edu/~pauls/ -----Original Message----- From: Shawn McMahon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 7:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Full-Disclosure] [OFFTOPIC] Zone Alarm On Wed, Jun 04, 2003 at 08:35:05PM -0700, morning_wood said: > > Theres nowhere for the packets to go.. and please, when was the last > time anyone here had to flash a personal style router / switch within > the past 2 years... dont go esoteric on us now.. Perhaps you should read security bulletins more often. http://www.idefense.com/advisory/10.31.02a.txt http://www.opennet.ru/base/netsoft/993631863_204.txt.html That's just two. Should I spend another 30 seconds searching and get you some more? Or are you going to argue that Linksys and Netgear are "esoteric"? _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
