Oxford May Suspend Students Who Pointed Out Network Flaws







Oxford May Suspend Students Who Pointed
Out Network Flaws

Oxford May Suspend Students Who Pointed
Out Network Flaws
07/16/2004 04:50 AM

Stories like these are way too common these days. Two Oxford University students, working for the school newspaper, figured out how easy it was to break into the school's network and access private student data. They wrote up a front page article on the vulnerabilities in the system, and were promptly handed over to the police. The police told the university to handle it internally, but Oxford is now looking at suspending the students and potentially fining them as well. Of course, there's no word whatsoever on whether the university actually patched the holes in their system. Why is it that so many people who point out security vulnerabilities are immediately accused of criminal acts? This only gives good people the incentive not to find and point out these vulnerabilities -- but you can be quite sure that those up to no good are already exploiting them.

03/08/2004 11:28 PM
This week, you lame and laggardly louts, we're going to "Bravely go where no Noobies have gone before." We'll fly into the background from the command line interface, and return! But before we do, some good news. It seems that the professional guidance I reported last week may not have been correct after all. There really are some noobies out there who want to learn a little something about the CLI. At least, there is a new book for them. It's from O'Reilly. It's called the "Linux Pocket Guide" by Daniel Barrett. O'Reilly describes it as "a useful alternative for new and experienced Linux users who need a quick and handy means to look up Linux commands." Imagine that, and for normal users to boot. Wish I had thought of something like that and proposed it to a publisher.
