Re: [suse-security] ZDNet: Scientists spot Achilles' heel of the Internet!
Super denial of service attack found! By simply buying a glock 13 and some soft point rounds it is possible to effectively restrist administrators from accessing their servers by shooting them in the head repeatedly. After a 17 months study it was concluded that killing administrators had a negative effect on theirt job performance. SuSE is expected to release a patch next week in the form of "kevlar-ballhat-0.1-1.human.armor".
Simple. First, Net security issues ARE SuSE issues. Second, it gives everyone a chance to say, "Duh!! It took how much money for that study, when so many already KNOW the danger?!"
Uh, yeah, thanks. Please refrain in future. Risks would be an appropriate place to post this. SuSE security, nope. I'm seeing people post to linux-audit list questions like "how do I store credit card numbers". It's OFFTOPIC. just like this was.

Hi Fred and Kurt, Would you please maintain a dual channel cross posting, it is not much polite to thread postings with only one leg. Others would not understand a bit and will be much confused, just by reading only one end of it. Not much OT, thought... Much thanks in advance for your understanding, just trying to help. =:`) Kurt Seifried wrote:
