The reality of "stay connected 24/7" at the household level with highspeed internet, makes the possibility of this attack more of a multi level victom attack. Home users do not know that they are leaving the door open to exploitation with simple Window's shares. Savy
The other thing to note is that average BW per computer is rising rapidly. Which means that even a single box in someone's home (windows OR UNIX) can be "usefull" as a source if its compromised. The problem here is that there really is nothing that can be done to help this since its a matter of keeping the server secure. Do you know anyone who wants to train 250 million people in computer security? And of those 250 million, how many of them even care? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wayne Bouchard [Immagine Your ] web () typo org [Company Name Here] Network Engineer ----------------------------------------------------------------------
