Bill Gates is a Good Guy |
March 15th, 2003 - Techweb - (Larry Lange)
At the risk of slapping a bulls-eye on my forehead, I''ve got something to say to everyone who''s mad as hell that Bill Gates is rich.
Get off his back!
I''m not talking the legions of Microsoft bashers who complain about its software, that Windows is a rip-off of Apple''s Lisa, that security is nearly nonexistent, that IE bullied Netscape out of the running, that licensing agreements are unfair, and on and on.
What I''m talking about here is the complete and utter resentment over Bill Gates'' financial wealth. A cursory Google search finds an unlimited amount of sites dedicated to trashing Gates on a personal level, attacks that go deep. "Kill Bill! Inflict pies, eggs and scissors upon Bill''s head! And "Punch Bill Gates! Slap him around!" Even "Assassinate Bill Gates!"
I think it''s time to give the man his due. Why? One word: Philanthropy.

By year''s end, McDonald''s will extend the access to 300 McDonald restaurants in New York City, Chicago and a yet-unannounced California town, Howard said

Internet Security Systems Warns Of Serious Sendmail E-Mail Vulnerability |
|
March 4th, 2003 - Security researchers from Internet Security Systems'' X-Force group are warning of a critical vulnerability within Sendmail. According to ISS, all versions of the widely used E-mail application from 5.2 on are vulnerable to a potential buffer-overflow attack.
In its alert, Internet Security Systems says vulnerable E-mail systems could experience, if attacked, everything from extremely low performance to "complete unresponsiveness." Data integrity of incoming and outgoing E-mail could also be compromised, it warns. If exploited, a lot of Internet communication could be disrupted, including emergency services and telecommunication systems worldwide.
Because of the pervasiveness of Sendmail and the ability of this vulnerability to be exploited remotely, it can enable an attacker to gain root, or superuser access, meaning the attacker could do anything to a vulnerable server that an administrator would be able to do. Security researchers say a hacker also could attack the vulnerability from within an E-mail message without having to know anything specific about the targeted system''s configuration.
According to the alert, security applications such as firewalls and packet filters won''t be able to protect users from attack against this vulnerability. It''s estimated that up to 75% of all Internet E-mail traffic flows through systems that run Sendmail.
ISS says the software vulnerability occurs when Sendmail uses a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol transaction and attempts to evaluate whether E-mail addresses, or lists of addressed, within the "To," "From," and "cc:" fields are valid.
Sendmail Inc. and the Sendmail Consortium say Sendmail 8.12.8, which contains a fix for this critical vulnerability, is available. Users are urged to upgrade to this latest version or apply patches to older versions which are available at http://www.sendmail.org/.
"SMTP is the foundation for Internet E-mail," says Pete Lindstrom, research director at SpireSecurity. "If you haven''t already begun doing so, now is a good time to begin hardening these systems."

Msconfig.exe for Windows 2000 |
March 2nd, 2003 - I finally found Msconfig.exe for Win2k! This is basically identical to the Windows 98 utility Msconfig.exe, originally ripped for XP and now usable on 2k.
Just extract the file to your WINNTSYSTEM32 folder. Then click Start->Run and type "msconfig.exe" to run the utility. Enjoy!
