NODE a0154e97Lets check this out
Here is something for us to check out. Was just emailed to me today.

I am curious how this person does it.

Dear Friends,

If someone named SandMan asks you to check out his page on the WEB

DO NOT!!!

It is at www.geocities.com/vienna/6318

This page hacks into your C:/ drive.  DO NOT GO THERE

 HE WILL REQUEST A CHAT WITH YOU....don't do it.

FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE...

All I see there is a few midi files and some badly-written HTML.
Nothing there to hack into my C:/ drive.  I don't even have a C: drive.
If you were running a more secure operating system, you wouldn't either.

You obviously haven't been reading this list very long.  There are lots
of way to do nasty things to microslob windoze, including: Buffer overruns
in IE, javascript bugs in web browsers, launching applications thru
mime-types, SMB bugs (oob-attack, cd ..\, and others), macro (and other)
viruses, buffer overruns in the tcp stack (oversized pings, etc), as well
as the near infinite number of possible active-x exploits.

This person doesn't do it...there is nothing on the site that is in the
least bit out of the ordinary.
Here is the HTML.  There IS a great hacking page run by a guy named
Sandman...
http://www.unitedcouncil.org is the URL for that one.

NODE b7cce733PGP/McAfee no longer allowing downloads
Has anyone else noticed that PGP Inc. has stopped allowing downloads (even for money) from pgp.com?  If you go to buy, all you get is the promise of a mailed CD.
