> and some details about harding servers to prevent such an attack from happening (like a link to grsecurity.net which I have to check out, but most of the other stuff is common sense). I was running PaX/Grsecurity on the server for many years, it was a true pioneer to kernel hardening and exploit mitigation, and still offers many hardening techniques not found in the mainland kernels. Unfortunately, it's no longer open to the community. Now my new hope is HardenedBSD [0], which has a roadmap to independently implement all major PaX/grsec features, but there is no ETA. >> Anyway, I'm typing this as I sit across the street from a cybercafe so note not to waste your time backtracing. This is my job, don't take it personal. sincerely and respectfully. > It's tough not to (especially since all this went down while three hurricanes were headed our way) but I guess that's what I get for living in a Gibsonian novel these days.
