Micropayments, misc.
by George＠Orwellian.Org 10 Apr '01

There are 4+ reports at http://interactive.wsj.com/pages/smallchange.htm regarding micropayments. (30-day registration is free) ---- From: Bill Stewart <bill.stewart(a)pobox.com> # # Akamai isn't a DoubleClick type of service - # it's a distributed caching system that allows web sites # to get better performance by caching static web content # on large ISPs and other sites likely to be nearer to readers # than the content owner's web site. Thank you for the LART, apologies (or is that regrets ;-) to Declan. Good thing porno sites don't use it, the URL would be hard to block without taking out non-porno sites. ----- One of the very few really cool URLs the Jimster sent to the list was for a home-made plasma ball. I wanted to tell others about it, but the URL stopped working shortly after the Jimster gave it out. I heard he doesn't like to receive mail from people (individuals), so I didn't email him. Anyone have a working URL for the plasmoid ball? ---- NTP root security hole? # >Path: news.panix.com!panix1.panix.com!not-for-mail # >From: elr(a)panix.com (Ed Ravin [staff]) # >Newsgroups: panix.motd.system # >Subject: Unix_NTP_Advisory # >Followup-To: panix.questions # >Date: 5 Apr 2001 18:25:21 -0400 # # (The following article has been automatically mirrored from MOTD) # # (Posted by Ed Ravin [staff]) Thu, Apr 05 2001 -- 5:57 PM # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # All Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and any other users who administer Unix # machines at their home or in their workplace please take note: # # The xntpd and ntpd daemons, which are used for synchronizing time between # multiple machines over a network, have a security vulnerability that # allows remote attackers to gain root access. # # If you are using NTP on your Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, or any other # Unix-ish operating system which you keep connected to the Internet # on a regular basis, you should shut down the NTP daemon now and # examine your machine for evidence of a remote attack. We have already # received one report from a Panix customer who was probed Thursday night/ # Friday morning. # # Users with commercial vendor versions of Unix (i.e. Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, # etc) should contact their vendor for more information to find out if # they are affected (I suspect they are, though it will take a while before # someone puts together an exploit). In the meantime, you should stop # running xntpd/ntpd until your vendor addresses the problem. # # For further discussion, please post in panix.questions. # # Windows and Mac users can safely ignore this message. # # -- Ed # # PS: We've received reports of Panix customers with Linux machines being # hacked at the rate of 1-2 per week for the couple of weeks - if you have # ANY Linux or *BSD system that you have not updated with security fixes # since January 1, or if you installed ANY Linux or *BSD system directly # from the CD and have not updated it (like RedHat 6.2 or 7.0), that system # is probably vulnerable to remote exploits. # # --- # Public Access Internet & UNIX [panix.com]

ANNOUNCE*N: San Francisco Cypherpunks, 4/7, 1pm, Moscone Center North, Room 122
by Bill Stewart 10 Apr '01

10 Apr '01

Saturday April 7 Cypherpunks Meeting in San Francisco. The meeting will be at Moscone Center North, in Room 122. Go in the door, take the escalators downstairs. We've been told that we shouldn't need badges to get to the room (and they're still setting up the exhibit floor), but if that turns out to be incorrect, check with the registration desk and ask for Kellie. Bill's cellphone is +1-415-307-7119, but cellphone reception on Moscone is normally poor to non-existent :-) This is the FIRST Saturday of the month, because the RSA conference will be the following week and many usual suspects from out of town will be around. The meeting will start at 1pm, and will be followed by dinner afterwards. Agenda: The primary agenda is discussion of the work people are doing, projects, things you're playing with, current events in crypto and privacy. Several people have said they'd like to talk; please contact Bill or DDT. Directions: 747 Howard Street, San Francisco, CA 94103 From BART or MUNI: Go to Powell Street station. Exit to 4th and Market Streets. Turn right on 4th Street. Walk two blocks south to Howard Street. Turn left, Moscone North will be on your left. For BART fare and schedule information, call the BART Hotline at 415.989.2278. Muni has multiple busses on 4th St, and the N-Judah on Market. From Caltrain: The San Francisco station is at 4th and King. You can take MUNI busses #15, #30, or #45 to 3rd and Howard, walk left on Howard, and Moscone North is on your right, or walk 1km north on 4th Street and turn right. Driving: 4th st goes South, 3rd goes North, Howard goes West. From South - 280 to 6th, or 101 to 7th, north to Folsom, hunt for parking on Folsom. Parking: Official Parking Map http://www.moscone.com/images/misc/map.htm Parking in San Francisco is usually evil, and most former parking lots are now construction sites for over-priced dot-com offices. The most convenient parking is on Folsom between 5th and 4th, and there are in-building on Folsom between 4th and 3rd that are usually less expensive on weekends. Thanks!
