Coffee for the mind, pizza for the body, sushi for the soul.
Buon ex-san valentino a tutti.
Capisci di essere in uno stato preoccupante quando in condizioni in cui aprire la porta di casa e` un problema e guidare sarebbe criminale, riesci a leggere una mail in pgp.
Godetevi ogni momento di affetto da amici, colleghi, paernti e fidanzate – ottenerli non e` cosi` facile come puo` sembrare.
Curioso come certe cose sembrino evidenti nei momenti in cui tutto il resto e` confuso.
aufff.
L’oroscopo di questa settimana dice
La meditazione serve a svuotare la mente dai pensieri, dai ragionamenti razionali e dalle ossessioni. Purtroppo i mezzi d’informazione sono una potente macchina per la “contromeditazione”. Non solo aumentano il tuo caos mentale, ma fanno in modo che nel tuo cervello entrino anche i casini degli altri. Inoltre presentano tutto questo frastuono sferragliante con frasi divertenti, colori vivaci e suoni squillanti, facendolo penetrare a fondo nella tua psiche. Tienilo a mente ora che arriva febbraio, il Mese della pulizia del cervello. Riduci il consumo di informazioni. Prendile a piccole dosi invece di ingozzarti continuamente.
Come avranno fatto a scoprirmi?
me: “[…] non ti facevo cosi` iconoclasta.”
L: “eh?”
me: “iconoclasta”
L: “ah, avevo capito iconocluster!”
me: “beh, c’e` anche quello. …Piu` comunemente viene chiamato trittico1, ma iconocluster andra` bene.”
pero` ora mi sta venendo il dubbio che in effetti iconoclasta sia un po’ come gangsta, o brotha.
“Yo sista! How’s the iconoclasta?”
“Runs well, bro!”
1 Immagino che venga definito polittico nel caso di piu`… nodi?

UPDATE 20080212: me ne sono accorto solo ora, che la galleria da flickr e` sparita. Paul deve aver avuto qualche problema. Peccato. :(
More than two years ago, I was writing the first No Fills TCP RFC draft.
At that time, I wondered if one of the possible features of this new protocol could be a creative use of the RST flag (see section 4.1.1), which I mostly inteded for those Windows system administrators who had to work with a large number of machines on the same subnet.
In the version that hit the web on April, 2006 I wrote (emphasis added):
More aggressive implementation options are being considered, but some are not backward compatible despite being very useful:
- last hop router receiving a NFRST packet SHOULD rewrite the destination address with the broadcast address of the nework of the destination host. This should achieve the effect of terminating ALL current connections over the network with the sender host.
- the most extreme semantic of the NFRST flag would be “Reboot”: any networked host (computer, router, …) which receives such a packet MUST schedule an orderly reboot. Without any doubt this would solve many remote administration nightmares.
It is not by chance that we choose local broadcast over a multicast group as the destination of the last hop packet: most of the machines which will benefit the most of this innovative method of remote administration will be running an OS that pioneered the use of broadcast for the most inventive purposes.
But — I have to admit it — MS08-001 came in as a big surprise: Microsoft had thought better, implementing a whole sled of reboot functionalities and leaving us in the dark for two whole years!
Granted, the most exciting features (remote management and reboot) are present — as expected — only in the most recent version of its operating systems (XP, 2003, Vista), but we are used to it, aren’t we?
Please note that those with mixed XP/2003/Vista networks have to choose IGMPv3 management, while Vista-only network administrators can opt for either IGMPv3 or MLDv2 (aka CVE-2007-0069).
Fun does not stop here! Windows 2000 administrators are not left outside alone, there’s the handy RDP management (aka CVE-2007-0066) suitable for the not-so-recent enterprise.
PATCH NOW! :-)
I’m not commenting on the time frame, even if I’d like to, because it’s hard for me to determine how long these have been known but not fixed. I note that that CVE-2007-0059 was the Apple Quicktime bug discovered during the MOAB and reported on January 3, 2007 and that CVE-2007-0075 is an AspBB Remote Password Disclosure which came out on Bugtraq more or less January 4, 2007.
I have no idea if this proves anything at all. I know that CVE numbers get handed out on a first-come first-served basis, and nothing more.
