Finally after all these years.. managed to get to Vasantahabba. I should have reached there a bit early, could not get into the main amphitheatre. Watch most of the show outside on the big screens. How was it ? Well, I’ll let fus do the talking Met many of my classmates / old pals, whom I have lost touch in many years. ( The place was almost like a kumbhmala ) Came back at 9am today.. and been pretty much sleeping the whole day

When it rains… it pours. This week has been peaceful so far.. but today hell broke loose and I have shit loads of things to finish. I hate tight deadlines… rather when people are not deploying things.. coz they are waiting for me to finish some stuff. Work has taken its toll on me this week. I’m too exhausted and I need a break… and looks like I will have to sit through the weekend and work too. abiligiri : you are the only one who can save me dude. Been hacking pretty much the whole day on C++. Life’s…
Which OS are You?
I came across this piece yesteday and today skjaidev gave me this link http://www.nic.mil/cgi-bin/domain Thats right. Its the NIC website for the .mil domains. You can add/modify/delete any .mil website. Cool aint it ? Well. think again. Port scan on nic.mil given some suspicious info. It is running Trinoo server ( pre-historic ddos tool), IRC server , and lot other services. Amazingly its running some conflicting services. Its running X11, tftp, finger, sunrpc etc – signs of a Unix box ( nmap tells me its Solaris ) However its also running netbios, ms-sql, NetBus etc – things usually found on…
more on the ms-sql worm – cricinfo was not accessible ( manu pointed this out ) – 5 out of the 13 DNS root servers went down – 95% ( thats right , no typo ) packet loss across UUnet / Worldcom. – upto 210MB/sec traffic seen on some routers. – if you plug an infected machine into a port on an HP4000 switch it would freeze. anyway the traffic seems to be going down slowly.. and hopefully I can get some sleep tonight. many people have asked me how to filter it out on their linux box. So here…
damn damn.. damn MS.. I am late for the concert thanks to them. <update> I managed to get to the rockarama concert. Kryptos sucked real bad. Motherjane and Molotov Cocktail were really good. I should have bought their cd there .. ( was kinda broke ). In other news.. mrinal‘s car was broken into and his car audio system got stolen. and most of all they took away the only copy of the cryptic’s new cd. </update>
Whoever is reading this…. please block UDP port 1434 (MS SQL server ) right away. Its practically taking the whole net down.. my servers are getting hammered with this [update] UDP traffic, sourced from 2038, destined for 1434, single-packet flows. The worm seems to be using this MS exploit From the advisory : When an SQL Server receives a single byte packet, 0x0A, on UDP port 1434 it will reply to the sender with 0x0A. A problem arises as SQL Server will respond, sending a ‘ping’ response to the source IP address and source port. This ‘ping’ is a single…
I had to go to the police station today before I came into work. I had to get my address verification done for my new passport and I had to follow up with this guy. So the guy at the desk makes me run around couple of times and I finally meet up the guy who is responsible for this. So after couple of questions he starts filling in some forms and then he asks me Cop : So where do you work ? me : I work in a computer company cop : which one ? me : Yahoo…
