It actually read: This presentation introduces you to some of the types of attacks used to compromise Linux systems and provides details on what can be done to secure your system. If you are going to quote somebody, you should not quote them out of context.
Why not, the media does all the time. ;-) Not to mention to only partially quote and twist context is the only way he can prove his ridiculous post. For example, I took shooting lessons at a shooting range. So now, if I go and pop someone should the range who taught me how to shoot and sold me the weapon be charged? Of course not it was my own stupid actions. The post also doesn't highlight the fact that this amatuer hit man was caught. How was he caught? Would he have been caught if we didn't have law enformcement trained on how murders are commited and what to look for? The problem is, that we don't have a law enforcement for the Internet. Well, at least not a competant one. So, people are forced to arm themselves (protect themselves) or be victimized. To make the problem even worse is that we have politicians who don't understand the first thing about technology trying to make policy and laws that just don't make sense. Combine that with the FUD over cyber-terrorism and things will get much worse before they get better. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "I don't intend to offend, I offend with my intent" hellNbak () nmrc org http://www.nmrc.org/~hellnbak -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
