BarlowSpams Sucked Into Blackout...

BarlowSpams Sucked Into Blackout... 01/07/2004 02:14 PM
Interesting problem. Shortly before posting the preceding two entries here last night, I dispatched them to my mailing list. But, at almost exactly the same time, the Mission District power substation in San Francisco caught on fire and shut down power to much of Babylon, particularly including the network operations center, only two blocks away from the substation, wherein sits the server that processes the BarlowFriendz list-serve. So. My spams never spammed forth. Whether they even exist any place besides my hard disk is difficult to determine, since, despite the installation of a 90 kw generator at the NOC this afternoon, things remain pretty whacked down there. My dilemma is trying to decide whether to resend them. If they were randomized into non-existence when the power blanked, then I will send them again, since they announce the existence of this blog to many folks who are unlikely to happen upon it. On the other hand, the server may stagger back into operation this evening, find them mouldering in its gullet, and spit them out. Which means that everyone would get them twice. Worst case, I try to resend, and the list-serve will gag even harder on the resend, further delaying its rehabilation. Meanwhile, I'm sitting in here in Salt Lake City, where a lovely snow is sifting down, and I'm at the mercy of machines a thousand miles away. I can't touch them in any useful way. This is, of course, my usual condition in many regards, but one forgets how far-flung are his dependencies. Strangers are trying to fix the problem for me. We forget how many strangers assist us every day....

Did Blaster cause the August blackout?

Did Blaster cause the August blackout? 12/10/2003 10:18 PM
Bruce Schneier (author of Beyond Fear) speculates that the great August blackout on the East Coast may have been caused by the Blaster worm.

Although the worm didn't have to perform any malicious actions on the computers it infected, its mere existence drained resources and often caused the host computer to crash. To remove the worm, a system administrator had to run a program that erased the malicious code; then, the administrator had to patch the vulnerability so that the computer would not get reinfected.

The coincidence is too obvious to ignore. At 2:14 p.m. EDT, the MSBlast worm was dropping systems all across North America. The report doesn't explain why so many computers--both primary and backup systems--at FirstEnergy were failing at around the same time. But MSBlast is certainly a reasonable suspect.

Challenging Darwin: Is sex really all
about the genes? 04/15/2004 10:30 AM
Author challenges Darwin's theory of "sexual selection." To Darwin, mutations that don't enhance survival, like peacocks' tails, must be aids to attracting mates to pass on genes. Homosexuality, therefore, is to Darwin and the Christian-right both an unnatural aberration. But with ever growing evidence of homsexual behavior in animals, from bonobos to penguins, isn't it time that Darwin's theory get replaced?

Northeast Blackout Caused By A Software
Bug 02/11/2004 11:07 PM
Turns out after all the various speculation on reasons, the big northeast blackout from last summer was the result of a software bug that was only just discovered - and not (as many had speculated) from the Blaster worm that was going around at the time. The bug meant that an alarm that should have been triggered never went off - leading to a series of problems that went unnoticed until it was too late.
