thechuckster Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: February 2003	Re: Connecting pc to pc Thu, 18 March 2004 13:10 ummm reverse engineering is not hacking... but ... most exploits don't come from flaws in the OS, but from poorly configured OS installations... and poorly configured human brains. so if someone got in via an apache-based opening then it was probably not properly configured. Apache should be setup to run as a user with little- if any - system priviledges, so even if a user somehow gets apache to run a nasty script locally, the OS should step in and prevent it from doing dumb shitlike modifyinging files owned by the root user or changing network settings to establish a hidden service or server. Most exploits come from human error, not computer error - most MS worms and viri exploit standard features in wintel - which, if disabled or configured differently, are not a security risk. same applies to linux servers that provide all manner of services to thousands of users. What tends to make computers 'at risk' is human falibility - how many viri have been re-lifed and launched from some total fuckwit who decides to open and run attachments sent by a total stranger from an unfamiliar email address? How many parents have found their kids PCs serving porn from Messenger or some other chat client beucase they never knew that chat could do that... And then there's human engineering - send an email that 'looks' like it came form the bank and people seem to supply all manner of personal info. Make a website that looks like a bank, and people try to give it their pin& acct numbers. Or just give their details over the phone to someone who 'sounds' like they're from the local gas company...
