thechuckster Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: February 2003	Re: Connecting pc to pc Thu, 06 May 2004 14:34 actually, it's ironic that some IT knob from our dept's PC-centric sent me a link to a computerworld story about the ver ysame thing (they probably pinched it from the techworld magazine). ... and it's all bollocks - yet more poorly researched PCspeak from writers with nothing better to do except re-hash press releases from ITsecurity companies about to tank. Why would a PC magazine be trumpeting the security skills of a security mob with little if any connection to and importance in the mac security community? ... and the writer of the story seems to think that no exploits (and i quote) "...there isn't a worm exploiting the holes..." is somehow worse that Sasser's no-user-intervention-required process of infecting and zombiefying a host computer. WTF??! talk about getting your priorities out of wack? The Sasser thing shutdown the UK's coastguard network yesterday - it's taking out systems that are used in life-and-death situations - yet the lazy prat of a writer thinks that an out-of-control MP3 player is a greater risk? As for the iTunes exploit being a 'serious risk'? (and i quote from the techworld forum) "...the extent of the damage would only extend as far as the user's privileges allow." where as all of the recent windows exploits (blaster, sasser, etc) result is administrative access to the system. I subscribe to CERT's alerts about newly found/published IT security risks and nothing that Secunia's talking about has been flagged by them in the last few weeks. It's possible that the exploit was re-visiting and existing feature of the old OS (storing binary/executable data in the resource fork of a file) - with a few folks suggesting the 'security company' wrote the proof-of-concept worm. Mac bashing does seem to be a fun sprot - more so for mac users watching all these attempted-bashers get it so, so wrong [Report message to a moderator]
