Well, concerning the German Teenager who is responsible for releasing sasser, Mitnick states:
"He was no great technical expert. There was a published vulnerability and he took his worm and used his exploit code to be able to propagate it in the many systems that Sasser touched." http://www.zone-h.com/en/news/read/id=4245/ Just my point justified. A more protective measure must surely exist? Like I said before I play counter strike. The kids 12-18 years old on there know c+ like the back of their hand and brag about which university there bots got into that day and the number of bots they own. thank you Randall M _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
