8/9     Does anybody know what Cringely is talking about when he says that
        winXP's "open TCP sockets" design will make the virus situation
        worse?  If CodeRed can ping around, isn't that about the same as
        raw socket access?
        \_ Are you talking about that Gibson guy who saws raw sockets is
           bad?
           \_ the problem is with 'open TCP sockets' programs can be written
              that can forge IP addresses and do other nastiness, making
              DOS attacks harder to trasck down.  ISPs could stop this with
              ingress filtering, but they are generally too lazy.
              \_ RED and PushBack will solve the (D)DoS problem if properly
                 implemented by about 20% of the internet.
        \_ He's ripping off the statements made by some guy from http://GRC.com

8/6     In linux what is the device name to read and write to and from
        tcp/ip?
        \_ There is no IP or Ethernet raw device, like on some other Unix
           systems.  Typically you would use socket calls (accept(2),
           connect(2), etc.); there is a socket type called SOCK_RAW,
           which lets you use some network facilities more directly.
