Tzahi, I'm flattered that you give me my own web site to check out (SecuriTeam.com, operated and owned by Beyond Security) ;-)
I didn't mean to say you were not a serious person (I really don't know you, so I can't say that), I just meant to say that what you wrote does not come out right. Lets just say you didn't mean to write: "there isn't a windows on the planet that can't be hacked in", but rather "Windows is usually much less secure than Linux" or something like that - which is perhaps arguable but definitely a valid argument (Nadav gave a detailed and very correct explanation of why the first statement simply isn't correct. The second statement is simply a matter of opinion). The reason I'm emphasizing this is not to see who's finger is longest, but to keep the newbies from the exaggerating statements such as "Windows is insecure", "Linux is safe", "our database is unbreakable" and "I did not have sexual relations with that woman". Please don't write that, it doesn't give you a lot of credibility, it doesn't help you spread the awareness to security, which I assume is that you're trying to do. - Aviram ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tzahi Fadida" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Aviram Jenik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "'linux-il'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 8:10 PM Subject: RE: I like a good challenge [was: sendmail relay problem] First, i resent the implication that i am a cracker. Second, i don't need to, there are others that could spare 5 sec to do that. cracking is for children who don't have anything else to do. If u mean hacking, then i can refer u to other mailing lists and articles that could explain to u the problems of using microsoft windows. check out: securityfocus.com securiteam.com sans.org cert.org bugtraq mailing list ciac x-force ntbugtraq linux-security and if course the very active "microsoft security alerts", lol. if u wish to see other refernces, contract me personaly. as u will see the ratio of windows/linux security holes and their sevirity is very high. enjoy. * - * - * Tzahi Fadida [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax (+1 Outside the US) 240-597-3213 * - * - * - * - * - * > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Aviram Jenik > Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 6:55 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: 'linux-il' > Subject: Re: I like a good challenge [was: sendmail relay problem] > > > Hi, > > > easily. exploit one of the gazillion holes in explorer, spoof ips on ur > > network, sniff non-encrypted or low encrypted windows > passwords, send u a > >greeting card with sub7 in it, so there u r. > > Ok, I love a good challenge.
