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 26 Jan '03

26 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 25 Jan '03

25 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)

NEWS: GNU/Linux, Microsoft war at Kolkata IT fair

Linux, Microsoft war at Kolkata IT fair By Krittivas Mukherjee, Indo-Asian News Service Kolkata, Jan 23 (IANS) An IT fair beginning here Friday is promising to turn into a battleground for users of software behemoth Microsoft and Linux as both propagate the benefits of their operating systems. COMPASS 2003, being organised at the Netaji Indoor Stadium by the Computer Association of Eastern India, will see the congregation of over 100 companies, but it's the presentations by the Linux users group that promises to be riveting fare. "We will use this opportunity to introduce Kolkata to the GNU/Linux and Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), and demonstrate and educate that they can be a viable alternative to Microsoft Windows and proprietary software," a spokesman of the Linux users group said. Microsoft, on the other hand, says a study has concluded that in the long run, the cost of systems running Linux as operating system would be "considerably higher" than ones running on Microsoft platforms. "This year the fair, being sponsored by Seagate, will be different in that we will have a focussed event for software developers, resellers and service companies," the fair's chairman B. Hari told IANS. "We have new products in hardware, software and services that will be showcased in the four-day event. The fair will hold a special programme for the channels to discuss the challenges in the market place and on policies of large distribution companies," Hari said. COMPASS generates good business every year, its organisers claimed. Hari said last year the fair generated enquiries worth Rs.2 billion and "80 percent of that converted into actual sales over a period of time". He said this year the fair is expected to generate business worth Rs.2.8 billion. The fair is being held at two venues, the Netaji indoor stadium and Sangam Hall, in view of larger participation this year. While about 100 firms will set up stalls, about 150 delegates are expected to be present at interactive sessions and seminars. --Indo-Asian News Service
