I have not seen anything on the lists that would imply an oncoming wave of attacks. Also, I'm not aware of any major holes that haven't been exploited by recent worms, if one _assumes_ that joe-average-admin has patched his server then variants of the same should be relativley ineffective. Not that I have a problem with a nice healthy paranoia, just saying that I haven't seen any reputable rumors (if such a thing exists) to give me the impression that such a landslide is on the way. --adam ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
