==================================================================== ... just wanted to add my 2 cents: folks, regardless whether any progy/os is crackable or not (btw please add office-xp to the list) what I find incredible and a true issue to this newsgroup is micro$oft's intention to 100% implement the raw sockets specification. (see more info at Steve Gibson' http://grc.com/dos/winxp.htm) welcome to the jungle, ==================================================================== Here are what I consider my 2 cents to above message : This was Posted to nmap mailing list (The moderater note is not from a securityfocus moderator but from Fyodor): Steve Gibson is a media slut and should be treated as such. If you look at how he writes up things on his own web site, you can see they're made to look just like how they might in print. In my surveying of what he's done, he's done...well...nothing very exciting. His "nanoprobes" were really lame (a different spin on what nmap does) and if people would just start ignoring him, we'd be much better off. [ Moderator note: I agree 100% with Darren & Andy. Gibson is a charlatan whose "research" is written for clueless media reporters (for press attention) and the teeming masses of internet newbies (to whom he sells various products). His "findings" are not new, are always filled with massive hyperbole, and are frequently completely false. Instead of presenting evidence to prove his points, he tends to just state them using goofy blue or green fonts as if that somehow adds credibility. We recommend avoiding this guy! -Fyodor ] ==================================================================== ACK.
