[SLUG] WindowsUpdate.com is running a Linux server? O.o
According to Netcraft's "what is that site running?" Service ( http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.windowsupdate.com) , www.windowsupdate.com is running MS IIS 6.0 on a linux box as of today. Conspiracy theory or windows update bracing for the MSBlast DDOS? Cool. Muskie -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Conspiracy theory or windows update bracing for the MSBlast DDOS? I dont understand. I didnt think that MS IIS can run on Linux or any UNIX system. It runs on MS Win 2000 servers and things like that. I checked http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com (as I know that is a MS site) at uptime.netcraft and its indeed reported as IIS on Linux. So IIS does run on UNIXs then eh? -- Mike Lake Caver, Linux enthusiast and interested in anything technical. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

See: http://www.computerworld.com/securitytopics/security/holes/story/0,10 801,84074,00.html ... Microsoft is already a customer of Cambridge, Mass.-based Akamai Technologies Inc., which operates a distributed worldwide network that can diffuse DDOS attacks..., ...according to Sean Sundwall, a Microsoft spokesman... Akamai Technologies use distributed clusters of Linux machines to proxy the MS site, thus diffusing DDOS attacks. That is why it seems that the MS site is running on Linux.
