Re: Netscape rewards are an insult
Dr. Frederick B. Cohen writes in part:
The idea that Netscape (like Microsoft) thinks they can get free testing services from all over the net by real experts just by offerring a tee shirt is down right offensive.
Ditto. The next major hack of Netscape will likely be used to bring that company to its knees. Unless one assumes that obvious backdoors will still be unprotected by their new code, a lot of computing time for brute force attacks and algorithm development will have to be spent to properly crack Netscape again. I seriously doubt the successful individuals will merely settle for fame and not fortune this time around. OTOH I would much rather see MS get hacked next. If the rumors of MS being a Hard Drive Peeping Tom are true, then I wonder if there might be a way to send a byte bomb to their bit bucket??....... Be Well
