Yes, that surprised me too, considering GoDaddy's lackluster reputation. Which reminds me, you can click on the table header to sort the columns.

If I recall correctly, Venti doesn't support "recovering space from deleted items" by design - it was designed to store data on WORM drives.

Does anybody with more time or understanding of this document know how those boxes were exploited? What lessons, if any can we learn from other peoples mistakes?

Sun is gone, but they left behind an amazing collection of Open Source Software: Java, OpenSolaris, OpenSPARC, VirtualBox. I'll miss Sun and the amazing people I knew there.

Of special note, Nmap 5.00 is now able to map IP addresses to AS numbers: "The script works by sending DNS TXT queries to a DNS server which in turn queries a third-party service provided by Team Cymru (team-cymru.org) using an in-addr.arpa

(not a crypto-guru) If you use a library function to do your SHA-1, you're doing it wrong. Pad out your test strings to a fixed length of 448 bits (assuming that the words in their dictionary allow this). Use a custom hashing algorithm that

I considered that solution. And in thinking about why I chose to do bit-shifting, I remembered why: I actually needed to combine two _signed_ 32 bit integers in MySQL, and since I wasn't sure how signed integers are stored in MySQL, I figur

As far as their operating systems are concerned, I postulate that "steamrolling" independent software vendors is one of the key differences between Apple and Microsoft. It seems to me that Microsoft takes great pains not to add features to
