Large Hack Attack Over the Weekend


Large Hack Attack Over the Weekend 03/17/2005 03:08 AM
Internet Week says that the Internet Storm Center tracked a large-scaled attack over the weekend. It attacked hosting servers and turned them into distributors of the malicious code.

"It seems that the attack used both direct and indirect means to infect users, said the ISC. In some cases, a script was appended to all home pages of the sites hosted on the compromised servers; the script redirected visitors of those pages to a malicious site (which was offline as of mid-morning Monday), which actually distributed the malicious code. But ICS also found some evidence that a DNS cache poisoning attack was part of the program. "We are not quite sure yet how this is being done, as the files that we've received so far do not seem to contain DNS/DHCP poisoning code."

Universities Get Together


Universities Get Together 02/17/2004 01:00 PM
The National University of Singapore is working on a plan to enable interoperability among networks of partner universities: The arrangement would mean that students on exchange programs could use the networks. But wouldn't they be able to anyway? I would think that a student from a university in Singapore who may be on exchange at Stanford would automatically be allowed to use the Stanford network. It seems that this plan has a broader reach, however, with plans to allow students from any of the partner universities to use any of the networks. That could be useful for traveling students who may not actually be exchange students. A similar initiative among European universities is underway, spearheaded by Portugal's universities....

How Bad Is Plagiarism At Universities?


How Bad Is Plagiarism At Universities? 06/30/2004 09:07 PM
When you have students suing universities when caught plagiarizing you know that plagiarism isn't always frowned upon by students. However, despite the scary language used in this article, the numbers really don't seem that ridiculous. About twenty-five percent of students admit to plagiarizing at some point or another (though, the article describes this as "cheating his or her way through degrees"). Meanwhile, 97% say they know its cheating, but 17% still think it's okay anyway. Now, it's obviously cheating, but to be honest, these numbers don't see all that high or surprising. There are always going to be students who cheat at one point or another. While the article includes anecdotal stories about students who have copied material repeatedly, the study doesn't actually address how many students chronically cheat, and how many have just done it on occasion. I'm not defending those who do it, but the article uses language that would make you think that no one ever writes their own work any more, and the numbers in the study simply don't support that.
