One of the joys of running the BIND surveys is reading all the reported version of BIND running on various servers. From time to time you get some admins who block the bind report and replace it with one of their own ditties. And I think that's fun. If you scan this list you'll find some of the personal replys many admins include in the chaos version reply. One interesting trend is that their are more replies like this, which suggest to me people are hiding their bind version for reasons of security. As you all know Paul Vixies bind has been broken since day one, so this really is not an efficient method - it only slows down the potential hackers who has to try various different bind vulnerabilities before they have success. But it slows them down and that's important. regards joe ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2000 09:49:46 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: BIND Version Reports $Id: dns,v 3.20 2000/06/20 14:19:45 gdmr Exp $ %VERSION% 'Tis enough (BIND 4.9.5-p1) 0 0.1 1 1.0 1.1.0 10 10.03.22P18 2xs nameserver v0.43 3.1.3.STABLE37 4.2.0 4.2.1 4.9.3-P1-plus-CA-98.05-patches 4.9.3-beta9-patch1 4.9.5 4.9.6 4.9.6 #0: 4.9.6-REL 4.9.6-REL-Interceptor 4.9.7 4.9.7-REL 4.9.7-REL 990303.111407 4.9.7-REL 990730.160207 4.9.7-T1B 5.7 509CS-SCBBK 6.6.6 8.1-REL 8.1.1 8.1.2 8.1.2+RandomID+SpoofWarn 8.1.2-REL 8.1.2-SGI_fw 8.1.2-SU 8.1.2-T3B 8.1.2.666 8.2 8.2-REL 000208.162217 8.2.1 8.2.1-T4B 8.2.1-T6B 8.2.2-P3 8.2.2-P3+patch4 8.2.2-P3p4 8.2.2-P4 8.2.2-P5 8.2.2-P5-IDNS 8.2.2-P5-LB-0.3 8.2.2-P5-NOESW 8.2.2-P5-SU 8.2.2-P6 8.2.2-REL 8.2.2-T3B 8.2.2-T7B 8.2.2-T8B 8.2.2P5 8.2.3-T1A 8.2.3-T2B 8.2.3-T3B 8.2.3-T4B 8.2.3-T5B 8.2.3-T6B 8.2.3-T7B 8.8.2 P5 8.something 9.0.0 9.0.0rc1 9.0.0rc3 9.0.0rc4 9.0.0rc6 970930.9/18/97M38 980805.3/26/98M30 990413.3/26/98M58 991001.3/26/98M22 991007.3/26/98M24 :-) ??? ? ?.?
