7/25 Anybody know what's happening with alumni.eecs? Can't seem to ssh in.
\_ Last I herd they were having problems with secure shell.
\_ Sounds like they got 0wnz0red
\_ well, they told me because csua's ssh was trojaned, all accts
which have anything to do with soda is disabled. Talk to root
to reactivate it.
\_ csua's ssh was trojaned? when did this happen?
\_ Shoulda used coitus interruptus, but abstinence is
the best choice!
\_ You better be fucking kidding because there's nothing about
this on /etc/motd.official. If soda got owned we have the
right to know about it and root has a responsibility to tell.
I'd like to see official word on motd.official whether this is
true or not. This isn't funny if you're making it up.
\_ What even not funnier is how you're being such
a dick about asking for this information.
\_ Excuse me while I beg for critical security information.
Oh please please please let me know sometime after you
graduate what the fuck was going on. Security isn't a
joke and users shouldn't be left guessing wtf happened
or how much they might be fucked over. And for you
personally, fuck you, you know nothing fool.
\_ And for you personally, if your files and
whatever else are so critically dependent on
soda being completely secure, get your own
machine and connection and maintain it.
\_ Found on http://ucb.org.csua (7/24):
Soda.csua is down because it was compromised. It will
hopefully be fixed tomorrow. Galen
\_ which is unfortunately not very helpful when soda is the
only machine from which one can read ucb.*
\_ Try http://groups.google.com?
\_ how about a secondary webserver on, say, scotch that
gives news and downtime type stuff for soda. new A
record <DEAD>news.csua.berkeley.edu<DEAD>, etc.
\_ If you asked him really nicely, perhaps dbushong would
be willing to do something like this at http://www.csua.org
I'll bet you'd have better chances if you volunteered
to do the coding so that he could just post it.
\_ I know dbushong. dbushong is a good friend of
mine. and you, sir... wait.. what was i saying?
Really. Dave just runs http://csua.org. He doesn't
know or care about the daily goings on of soda.
This is something the politburo can and, i'm going
out on a limb here, should do.
\_ Ok that's a start, how about some info on how long it's
been compromised, what sort of compromise, how badly,
what were the hackers doing, what got installed, etc?
\_ Nice attitude. And how much have you contributed to
this group and its equipment lately? |
