Well I dont think it wasn't possible. All you needed to write is applet which knows VNC protocol or something like that based on server. It can be possible even on windows. Amish.

[info or OT]MS SQL worm is destroying internet block
by ranjeet＠nttindia.com 25 Jan '03

25 Jan '03

internet block and cramped NOC traffic very badly A worm which exploits a (new?) vulnerability in SQL Server is bringing the core routers to a grinding halt. The speed of the propagation can be attributed to the attack method and simplicity of the code. The worm sends a 376-byte UDP packet to port 1434 (i found 1433 also) of each random target, each vulnerable system will immediately start propagating itself. Since UDP is connection-less, the worm is able to spread much more quickly than those using your standard TCP-based attack vectors (no connect timeouts). Some random screen shots, a copy of the worm as a perl script, and a disassembly (sorry, no comments) can be found online at: http://www.digitaloffense.net/worms/mssql_udp_worm/ The UDP D.O.S. attack: (Random snippets from logs) PROTO=UDP SPT=1518 DPT=1434 PROTO=UDP SPT=1032 DPT=1434 PROTO=UDP SPT=1077 DPT=1434 PROTO=UDP SPT=4319 DPT=1434 Some News: http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2099780,00.html Advisory: http://www.nextgenss.com/advisories/mssql-udp.txt Microsoft Fix: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/ bulletin/MS02-039.asp MS SQL listens on port 1434/udp so that clients can figure out which method of communication to use (named pipes, tcp/ip et al) there are two problems that yield ability to execute code remotely while unauthenticated. Right now, packet loss is running at roughly 95%. ranjeet

Redhat garbled text
by Amish Munshi 24 Jan '03

24 Jan '03

Greetings, Have any of you found a solution for the garbled text of Redhat 8.0. The ncurses library seems to be the problem - I am not sure though. For those who do not use RH 8.0, the problem is as follows, the display of most of the programs like ntsysv, cenetericq and various others is not aligned properly on the screen, also the screen is not refereshed when some changes are made and some new content is written above the old content on the screen. This happens in the text mode (non-GUI) and in all (xterm, konsole, etc) the terminal windows in the GUI as well. Bye. -- Amish K. Munshi In GNU we trust.

a short IRC intro/howto
by Bhargav Bhatt 24 Jan '03

24 Jan '03

The_Linuxer is of the opinion that "but the problem is that ... no matter how big geeks are they in linux, most are new to IRC"..."you should write a How-To on IRC & post it on the LUG". So i wrote a howto. However, I don't want to clutter all your mailboxes, so it's available here http://www.bhargav.com/Linux/irc.html This is *NOT* a tutorial/detailed HOWTO on using IRC. You can use google for that. This is simply a document to help you get started on IRC if you are unknown to it. Read it and get started on your way to becomig an IRC-junkie :) -- Bhargav Bhatt, Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, Columbia University. -- http://www.bhargav.com -- The search for truth is more precious than its possession. --Albert Einstein (03/14/1879-1955)
