Yep, I'd like that. But it should start at the ground up. Explanation of :
- ports (what they are, what ones do what etc.)
- chances of people hacking in
- how they do it (not _too_ in depth, obviously :)
- what could happen if they do
- How to prevent it from happening (this includes setting up Genesis and /
or Miami).
Also, it'd be nice if I actually /saw/ AF out for release once in a while
in Hendon - haven't seen it on sale for over a year now in Hendon. Once I
saw it in Manchester, and I bought it. But that was all. I think if not in
AF, perhaps post it online - maybe if you have a website of your own or
something?
A little real world example of the tcp:123 thing. on IRC one unmentionable
person annoyed some people (a lot apparently), so they got him to open up
tcp:1234 on his machine, they opened up a shell on his amiga, and formatted
his entire HD :o/ Thankfully Free4All prevent this from happening. Yay for
Free4all!
