No offence ever taken Sir John.... and I kinda like my my lil pantie wad... ;) Sorry my responce even sounded gruff... I was truely trying to keep it lite hearted... As with all things, it's truely a matter of opinion...
The one thing though I would like to point out though since you did take the time to read Steve Gibsons account of a DOS attack... His whole ordeal did start out with a passing mention of the term "script kiddies" (how trivial), and that lazy individual caused a major problem for him (and Steve wasn't even trying to be offensive). Just people with WAY to much time on their hands..... I agree full heartly with your opinions (string'em up), but I also have a full respect for these individuals (who aren't all just kiddies was the point I ineffectively tried to get across). Heck, I thought this was a constructive discussion... Enough can never be said about security these days.... Oh yeah.... Sir Buck... John is absolutely right by learning your systems security before jumping into the root kits, I just assumed you were past that part. Silly me... Welp folks, enjoy...... Try not to hurt each other ;) Nat Out John Hebert wrote: > Buck, > > I'm all for learning new things, but my advice was and > is that you do not start with looking at what script > kiddies do and instead learn basic network security.
