DoS, buffer overflow flaws found in Apache (SearchSecurity)
Apache isn't perfect -- two groups have posted two security alerts for the open source server. One flaw can result in a DoS attack; the other can let an attacker exploit evil code. To complicate matters, the Apache Foundation is at odds with Internet Security Systems' decision to issue an advisory and a patch before the foundation had a chance to respond. Haven't we seen this movie before?

THE MISSING LINK
Fast engine -- bigger than Google?
Enter "more than Google" into the Google search box and AlltheWeb may be the one match. That's because Google may have met its match. This little search engine that could says it chugs through 2.1 billion pages, whereas Google searches 2.07 billion. Fast Search & Transfer runs AlltheWeb, which has a large cult following among researchers who need particularly elusive or esoteric results. AlltheWeb doesn't quite have AlltheGlory just yet. Google is still the busiest search engine going, and it may be the most genteel and decorous to boot. The company's refreshingly modest and sporting rejoinder to the AlltheWeb announcement was that it hopes its competitor's achievement "raises the awareness of search's importance in our everyday lives."
