Yes Linux is the choice of crackers and yes It has so many holes in it that it is easily cracked. This is why I find it so amusing when Security Issues come up, every one screams about Microsoft and completely ignore the fact that the os or application they use has just as many problems if not more. As for the nameserver, NT, Solaris, HP-UX, FreeBSD, do NOT exhibit this behavior. Michael Akers M.

Why is it that my network is always scanned from nameservers running Linux? Is Linux the choice of crackers, or is it so easily cracked that it just appears that way?
