Sun Jul 31 15:29:04 2005 GMT: Anti-Virus Software Flaws
Recently, lots of security flaws have been found in anti-virus software (see this story from The Register and this ClamAV Security Advisory). These flaws are particulary annoying as they can be exploited by simply sending an e-mail to the victim (even if the victim doesn't open the e-mail, the anti-virus software will usually automatically scan every e-mail message and is therefore vulnerable).
Oh, by the way, about a week ago, a Bitdefender client tried to launch another denial of service attack on our company's proxy server (also see here).
Wed Jul 13 19:15:04 2005 GMT: Mail System Changes at web.de
Apparently, web.de is changing their mail system setup. Previously, only one server at web.de (mx??.web.de) was involved with forwarding e-mail messages (FWIW, I believe these MX servers are running some customised version of exim). Now I am seeing an additional hop (fmmailgate??.web.de) in the Received headers of forwarded messages which seems to be running some version of sendmail.
Tue Jul 12 19:14:31 2005 GMT: Domain Grabbers
My Web site seems to have attracted domain grabbers lately, as cmeerw.com got registered about a month ago and cmeerw.info seems to have been registered just a few hours ago. Of course, there is no useful content on both of these Web sites, except some sponsored links and a domain inquiry form on cmeerw.com.
Thu Jun 30 17:01:09 2005 GMT: Alpha Processor Comeback?
This week, The Inquirer has published two articles about rumours of a comeback of the Alpha processor, see Will the Alpha chip stage a comeback? and Could HP bring the Alpha processor back to life?. Remember, the Alpha had 64-bits from the beginning (back in 1992). So, it definitely is an interesting thought.
Tue Jun 28 19:43:53 2005 GMT: Testdriving 16x 1.5 GHz Itanium
HP has recently added an Integrity rx8620 to its TestDrive. Its 64 GB of RAM and 16 Itanium processors are quite impressive, although its running the "wrong" Linux distribution (Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 instead of Debian or Ubuntu).
BTW, their Debian systems have been upgraded to Debian sarge (3.1).
