According to the story, the cracker who got into e-Bay last week got
in via FreeBSD. Does anyone know anything more about this?
"I exploited a buffer overflow condition, which existed in an SUID
root program," says the hacker, who is finishing up a B.S. in
computer science. "Then I used software which I had written
myself to get to the rest of the network. FreeBSD was the first
machine I accessed, the rest were Solaris."
