Re: [suse-security] Is it possible to return something, so Nimda would crash?

This Labrea thing is basically a pile of poop. So the system crashes. The admin reboots it, and life goes on (sans patch, with infection). Plus there is the legal issue, you are intentionally trying to mess up a remote systems ability to work, and while yes the "attacker" is liable you are now taking actions that also make you potentially liable (not a good thing if it can be avoided). Attacking back is often a very bad idea. Kurt Seifried, kurt@seifried.org A15B BEE5 B391 B9AD B0EF AEB0 AD63 0B4E AD56 E574 http://www.seifried.org/security/
