https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms15-034.aspx not that i have any windows web servers, but this could be "interesting"... (remote code execution IIS from 2008 to 2012) that sounds really bad "The following workaround may be helpful in your situation: yeah there could be a lot of ddos issues Disable IIS kernel caching" disable kernel caching yeh they've had issues with that in nt4 didn't they? "...could execute arbitrary code in the context of the System account." sometime a long time ago at least. pretty scary isn't it I don't know too much about specific NT4 vulnerabilities ... but I've heard there are plenty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Information_Services#Security Internet Information Services :: Internet Information Services (IIS, formerly Internet Information Server) is an extensible web server created by Microsoft for use with Windows NT family. IIS supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SMTP and NNTP. It has been an integral part of the Windows NT family since Windows NT 4.0, though it may be absent from some editions (e.g. Windows XP Home edition). IIS is not turned on by default when Windows is installed. iis supports nntp? so I was able to get Mariel Hemingway to autograph the book with "my twin brother Randal"... nice. TIL httpd(8) uses font-family: Comic Sans in its error pages. i actually like comic sans I'm highly amused by this. (albeit confused at first) i like verdana too and consolas too. so yeah as much as i hate microsoft their fonts aren't too bad. heh $taste -- its different true i use ubuntu mono for my terminals my pet peeve used to be all caps which used to be pretty popular, but now it seems all lower case is catching on has anyone here tried dragonflybsd? mercutio: I know that qbit has. (not that he's "on" right now, but he is "here") heh. i was meaning to try it years ago it seemed interesting... but that's as far as i got :) http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2015/03/11/web-security-company-inadvertently-aids-hmrc-phishing-attack.html
