| Australian Linux User Group Fights Back Against SCO Posted Thursday, July 24, 2003 @ 10:47 AM by mayhem |
| The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that an Open Source group has gone on the offensive in response to SCO's latest demands that Linux users must buy a Unixware license to avoid any possible future unpleasantries. 'Open Source Victoria today filed a complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, asking it to investigate SCO's activities in light of 'unsubstantiated claims and extortive legal threats for money' against possibly hundreds of thousands of Australians.' I especially like the last bit: 'One feels that this whole fiasco is the IT industry equivalent of a Nigerian scam or internet extortion ploy.' Oh yeah.. (Source: Slashdot) |

| Did SCO help contribute JFS to Linux? Posted Monday, July 14, 2003 @ 6:59 PM by mayhem |
| Anonymouse writes "Part of SCO's complaint against IBM is that IBM should not have helped Linux by adding JFS. Looking at the history of JFS on Linux is therefore interesting. Steve Best of IBM announces JFS 1.0.13. Read the post, and you'll notice 5 contributions by a "Christoph Hellwig". So who is Christoph Hellwig? He appears to have been a Caldera (former name of The SCO Group) employee posting from a @caldera.de address. Did he and SCO/Caldera know what IBM were doing with JFS? Well I can't say for sure... but he does appear on the kernel mailing list fairly frequently. It also appears this gentleman might have been working on Linux JFS while at Caldera/SCO in March 2002. Also on the mailing list, you'll also find more recent posts by presumably the same Christoph Hellwig, who now says he is a former employee of SCO/Caldera." |
| Building a Linux Dial-up Server, Part 1 Posted Sunday, July 13, 2003 @ 3:35 PM by mayhem |
| Sometimes it seems that the world has moved entirely to DSL, cable, and other forms of high-speed networking. But the reality is it hasn't -- most of the world is on dial-up, and even in the US the majority of Internet users are still on dial-up. Even in areas where high-speed access is available, dial-up still plays a useful role. For example, a business may not need high-speed access -- and can spend the money saved on hardworking, worthy employees. (Stop laughing, it could happen.) Or dial-up can fill a special need, such as for nightly batch uploads, for remote access, or for building an inexpensive WAN. Full article available here. (Source: Linux.com) |

| XBOX Dashboard Local Vulnerability Posted Saturday, July 12, 2003 @ 9:43 AM by mayhem |
 Well it seems that the XBOX has been cracked right open in this latest step into XBOX Linux, Stefan Esser has just published a security advisory article about the XBOX Dashboard and how it can be exploited to run anything you want on the XBOX."The XBOX Dashboard is what appears when you turn the XBOX on without a disc in the DVD drive. It will let you adjust system settings, manage your save games, play and rip audio CDs and configure your XBOX Live account. It is the heart of the XBOX and its most vulnerable point, because it lacks several security restrictions which are enforced on games. This includes the lack of the reboot-on-eject-button "feature", which is obligatory for all games. The existance of an exploitable vulnerability within the dashboard could totally compromises the XBOX security system. It will make the box independent from Microsoft signed code and therefore this information is released to the public now on the 4th of July 2003, the day of the XBOX Independence." Full information can be found here. (Source: OCAU) |
