Cisco routers running IIS are also vulnerable. -----Original Message----- From: Creed Discussion List [mailto:CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM] On Behalf Of ]\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[ Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2001 2:10 PM To: CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM Subject: Re: Was - Another one for Win2K and NT users.. Now - Virus != Hacker Sure... okay, whatever Kevin. Just be sure to pass the bottle down the line when you're done. I have neither claimed Linux to be better nor worse... that seems to be a hang-up that you have alone there. If you want to get into that discussion, why not go back to trying to start an argument with Jim? And by "us" I take it you're referring to you and your imaginary friends? Or are you a little to deep with the "English Discussion" taking place and are starting to act a bit more like the Queen with each reply (us = plural... and I doubt you're so big that you count as several people)? Lets cover what I have said... 1. I am considering switching to a dual-boot Linux/Windows because of the number of virii running rampant out there that only affect Microsoft Operating Systems 2. There are 2 new ones going around that only affect Win2K and WinNT 3. Several of the list members only check their mail from work, and a lot of those computers run either Win2K or WinNT OS 4. A real hacker doesn't need a virus or Trojan to access a person's computer 5. A "hacker" that uses one of the 2 mentioned above is actually considered a cracker, a wannabe, or a lamer 6. I covered again that the majority of well-known and malicious worms and virus out there are strictly for Windows, which would make a Linux system immune 7. I made a request for an old joke that was going around in circulation on the list a little over a year ago (but you, being new to the list, would not know about that) 8. That your attempt to start an argument is pointless, because I was originally agreeing with what you said I hope that this about covers any delusional things you may have stated in an attempt to piss me off, and in the future, if you want to reply to something I say, at least spend the extra couple of seconds and use a little brainpower to read what I actually type, instead of skimming it, and translating it into your own wording. Nice chatting with ya... ¤]\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[¤ To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
