Uh oh spaghetti-0's
"Experts are advising computer users with renewed urgency to apply a free repairing patch that Microsoft has offered on its Web site since July 16, when it acknowledged that the flaw affected nearly all versions of its flagship Windows operating system software.
The Homeland Security Department cautioned Wednesday that hackers in recent days have successfully tested new tools to seize control of such vulnerable computers over the Internet, stealing data, deleting files or eavesdropping on e-mails. The government also said it had detected an "Internet-wide increase in scanning" for victim computers." (CNN, July 31, 2003)

Yeah, because they JUST discovered that there were security holes in Windows XP... ermm... hahahaha, I love Homeland Security and their urgent news reports on things. :P

[deftno9]

LOL, god help us all

[MaNiAk21]

LOL, god help us all

Exactly... a couple building fall down and, 'Oh jesus, you can't just walk around unaware of your surroundings!?! Now we must over-react to anything! Especially the less threatening anythings! :shock:' LoL

What makes this one so bad is the fact that the exploit code was posted to the internet I beleive in the last two days. Once that happens, it is only a matter of time before it is scripted and launched. And anyone who has responsiblity for more that a couple of computers knows, keeping everything up to date and patched can be a bigger headache than anything else.

The Microsoft warning can be found HERE (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.asp)

yea..people posted rpcdom.c and then people ported it to windows..and now people have mass rooters..meaning if your not patched your most likely going to get rooted

[Rich]

No part of that sounds pleasant...

[Cabot_Teg118]

Woohoo!! That warning dosen't apply to Windows Me :P

[Kurtis]

The only thing that applies to ME is 98 :P i hate win ME with a passion, I had it and had problems non stop. xp pro is the best :)

[Rich]

Windows ME was the only OS I have ever used which I purposely UNINSTALLED. :P

[Kurtis]

lol purposely uninstalled eh? :P

[Rich]

took it apart file by file....reeeeeeaaaaaal slowwwww :twisted:

[Cabot_Teg118]

I wasn't saying that I really loved Me. But it really hasn't given me any problems. I had tons of problems w/ my Pentium 150 w/ Windows 95. :? Blech, I hated that computer.

[Rich]

95 was always a bit buggy, better than 3.1 though. I just finished building up a Pentium 166 w/ 96 Mb RAM with windows 98SE. The thing runs pretty well. :D

[deftno9]

did a post from 10 years ago somehow get misdirected into here? whoa, thats some real old stuff there. I wanna try and get a copy of 3.x so I can install it on another computer and see if I can hack the crap out of it.(take that MS, that'll teach'em)

[Rich]

I think I have those disks around here somewhere....

[Cabot_Teg118]

I should try copying windows 3.1 off my school's programming computers. lol :lol: I wonder how many floppy disks that would take.

[Rich]

well, the full install of 95 is 24 disks in comparison.

[MaNiAk21]

Ewww... ME, you must be the ONLY person who claims not to have had a problem, that this is like a giant bug. :P

[Brian]

I should try copying windows 3.1 off my school's programming computers. lol :lol: I wonder how many floppy disks that would take.

The 3.1 install disks are around 5 or 6. 3.11 is 7 or 8

I have both, just don't know where.

[deftno9]

man how times have changed. from an install of no more than 10mb to muliple gigs in around 10years.

[Brian]

I wonder how big they will be 10 years from now. Windows PS (PreSchool). 1 Terebyte of OS so easy to use that preschoolers can use it, and computer geniouses can't do shit with it cuz it's so focused on dumb ppl :-P

[m[X]]

yea..hopefully then microsoft wouldnt have implamented that mmm what was that called.. where every file you open would have to be registered by microsoft meaning there would be no virus's and no illegal software..i think it was called p something

[MaNiAk21]

Hahaha... but they probably will have... by then they may be implanting straight into your skull too, and before it is legalized and without anyone's permission, but they will get away with it...
