Hey,

I found this on http://www.jimmo.com/Linux-NT_Debate/Security.html

Yes, there are holes in UNIX and Linux. In order to exploit them, you need to either be a UNIX guru or an expert programmer (or both). Anyone can easily exploit the holes in NT.

How come i have seen people root a Linux box by running a single exploit with one command and then type "dir" and that guy says you have to be an expert programmer?!? my my my

Heru:
Your first two posts make a sort of messed up half sense, I think I'll just ignore those...

You saw someone root a Linux box?  Well if this is true they probably had a somewhat(or perhaps quite) advanced program that they either downloaded or made themselves(meaning they would be an advanced programmer), and chose an insecure target.

I've tried to hack into my Linux box, I just cant do it!  No luck.  While later I tried to hack into my windows box, it was quite easy.  Now keep in mind that they are both connected to the same cable modem and both are protected by software firewall.

voidmain:
I guess he's never heard of Code Red.  Hell, you only need to hack one Windows box and then they hack themselves from there... All I can say is, I'm sure glad I didn't have any IIS boxes. I would have made a special trip to Redmond to take a nice healthy shit on the lawn.
