How despicable! The cracker installed nothing. From the first time they used the bbixler account I have known of them. Another interesting aspect is that since taking on the CDR I have had 3 attacks (previous ones were denial of service) while in the year previous to that I had only one. I think there is an object lesson buried in there somewhere. What I want to know is if he ever realized he was running on a 486DX2/80 w/ 24M of RAM, 1G of hard-drive, and a version of Linux that is over 2 years old? What a rube... The bbixler account was a trip-wire with a very silly password intentionaly left there (as are several others) just waiting for some happy jack to find one. I also do this with my IP's. It is actualy very effective. I once nabbed a bozo from the Richardson, Tx AT&T office who was using my system to get to other systems. I was monitoring the account and noticed an email go out to a buddy of his with his office number in it. I called, he shit bricks, I asked for money or that he desist from using my system. He desisted. I also have a pretty quick re-install plan as well. I have a basic image on a spare drive installed in the box. Swap cables and we are back up. I can do a complete re-install and be configured in about 3 hours from CD archives and the original source material which is on machines not on the Internet (it's my Amiga 2000). This does not include the user home dir's which I don't protect, with the users full knowledge and agreement. Their data, their problem (I push fast cycle times, the use of off-line encryption for security, and digital signing for authority); I provide services only and TEMPORARY file storage on my file systems. Linux on old 486's is wonderful! Jim Choate CyberTects ravage(a)ssz.com

I know of at least one other indipendant node that will be coming up in the near future. I am also in the process of putting in a satellite location to my current site about 30 miles east of Austin to better serve that part of the community. That site is intended among other things to host backup servers for the various services of CyberTects. Among these will be a server to run the various mailing lists in case of a primary site incident. It will currently be connected via modem but a switch to ISDN or ADSL is in the works. We also hope to kick the primary SSZ site up from ISDN to ADSL in the near future as well. I can't at this time provide even tentative go-live dates, but I will be digging a power trench there this afternoon if it quits raining, then we have to install the phones and air conditioner. Things are improving but only slowly. Jim Choate CyberTects ravage(a)ssz.com

I don't even check, less than 100 for shure and probably less than 25. Don't remember seeing that many notices of subscription to the cpunks list.

True, but in that case they can simply walk in with a subpeonae and take it as well, it is sitting there in a plain text file. The reason I do this is to minimize spammings and other such attacks it is not to protect anyone from a truly determined assault but rather from those marketing idiots out there with no clue as to anything close to reasonable behaviour. And yes, I realize that this can be defeated by simply subscribing to the mailing list and watching your incoming as you reference above. (Hint: I ain't a marketing weenie) There are other boogey-men than just TLA's....who in my opinion are the easiest to deal with. Jim Choate CyberTects ravage(a)ssz.com
