Of course it would be interesting to hear about any new vulnerabilities in NT and products running on it... Using the existance of specific vulnerabilites however is often a very bad argument pro or against any platform. Known vulenrabilities that are left exploitable by a vendor, bad information about existance of such vulnerabiliies, and the actual efford of a vendor to prevent such vulnerabilities might be much better arguments. After all, no piece of software is 100% free from such things, and pointing blindly to vulnerabilities in other products is something that is quite likely to work against you. Just my opinion of course.. ;-) Bart van Leeuwen. mailto:Bart_van_Leeuwen@doosys.com http://www.doosys.com/ mailto:bart@ixori.demon.nl http://www.ixori.demon.nl/ Michael Williams <mgwilliams@newsouth.com To: security@FreeBSD.ORG > cc: Sent by: Subject: Re: Script kiddies and port 12345 owner-freebsd-security@F reeBSD.ORG 03-10-2000 17:12 On Tue, 3 Oct 2000, Justin Stanford wrote: > More than likely they are just looking for open shares on the SMB port > (139) and netbus servers on port 12345 - this is more within the reach and > ability of the average kiddie and is as common and occurence as dried > fruit :-) Yes, true. But if someone popped up with a new vulnerability for SMS (which runs on port 12345 on -our- network's NT machines, but I'm not an NT admin, so I don't know whether that's default), it would be neat. I like anything that supports the cause of BSD over Windows. :) Regards, Michael Williams To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
