Thanks for reply, I understand the significance of CERT and also I highly appreciate the FreeBSD team and their efforts, but two things to notice here: 1. They did not tell us what that hacker did to BREAK that Very Secure system, and is that hole unfixed, as current, and that's why everybody is keeping it undercover ? 2.Is there a Hacker-Simulator team working day or night to try break the system security as the normal hacker would ????? because if there is no such group, its high time the FreeBSD gather such a group, which should be formed with ONE REASON IN MIND, BREAK FREEBSD SECURITY. Especially many, current, and future ISPs are planning the Shift to FreeBSD, since it now supports SMP Monsters.
