You said Linux? Oh my, 5 minute hack is simple to do on a Linux system. . . And no I don't hack. . . But, I've seen somebody that hacked into a few systems, totally setup and supposed to be completely secured, and gues what, he hacked the Mac in less then 3 mins, and linux 5 mins and windows took longer but he finally hacked it in 2 hours. Mind you this was certified ITT's that set these suckers up.
Best way to keep people hacking so easy is doing a multiple system network. I used to had my own set up a few years back, and hosted web sites for awhile. But, I had people try to hack it. Never could get past all the Security and fake doors I had. Orca setup I had it's the bomb. Besides it's what Ebay uses.

Hi Andy, I don't want to say too much about how it was done, but I will just say the cracker managed to gain illegal access to the Linux root account, and then proceeded to rm -rf * everything in site including the backups. We have reinstalled most of the basic services, and I have spoken to Shane and he has made sure the security whole was fixed. At least we are sure the cracker won't gain entry through that whole again. As for the USA Games web site we are using a double backup polacy from now on. Shane will do daily backups of the server images, and I will be doing weekly backups of the USA Games home directory. That way just in case anything this horrible happens again there will be account backups in two places. Andy Smith wrote: > Well, looks like hackers don't care.
