A fool-proof software has yet to be written. Bugs and fixes are common for Softwares. Its a continuous process to attain a no-bug or near-no-bug state. As many fixes and patches are released for M'soft, other unix flavours are also releasing fixes and patches and in more numbers than M'soft. If you subscribe to Security tracker, you will know how many fixes and patches released for Unix flavours recently. Don't foul cry.... Its a collective effort to keep a system security. Bugs and Taxes will be there always. ----- Original Message ----- From: "harry" <Rik.Bobbaers () cc kuleuven ac be> To: <full-disclosure () lists netsys com> Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 8:33 PM Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Support the Sasser-author fund started

The Sasser author has done nothing to foster security. So there is really no need for the security scene to support him.there is one other thing... he is correct when he says that Microsoft will say it's completely the worm writer's fault. BUT i think Microsoft should be punished too for having so many security holes. they had to patch it faster. who's fault is it really when you buy a door, you lock it, but a burglar finds a way to easily open it, comes in and tells you... just my 2 cents -- harry aka Rik Bobbaers ps. i don't agree with the worm writers, but just want to say it's not just his fault, microsoft has to take it's responsability too K.U.Leuven - LUDIT -=- Tel: +32 485 52 71 50 Rik.Bobbaers () cc kuleuven ac be -=- http://harry.ulyssis.org -- Air conditioned environment - do not open windows! _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
