10/28 This IMPORTANT sniffer information: who does it effect
and over what time period? Do we have any more information
on what a sniffer is, its scope, its limitations, and
who the $%@#$*%&@#$*%&@#$ was doing it?
\_ A sniffer is a program that listens to all packets transmitted
over a network and records the more interesting ones (usually the
first part of telnet, rlogin, & ftp sesssion, since that's where
the account name and password are sent). If your information was
found in the logs that were recovered, you have been squished or
talked to in person already. If not, but you used computers on
that network (godzilla.eecs, EECS/TCS staff machines in Cory,
CS 150 computers) sometime in the last couple of weeks, we have
no way of knowing who you are, but you probably still want to
change your password anyway. (PS: if you want real answers to
questions in the future, you're much better off mailing
help@csua than posting to the motd) -alanc- |
