Nothing about hacking Linux, but...
"We think that someone from Fermilab's Tevatron (the competing atom smasher
in America) had their access details compromised," said one of the
scientists working on the machine. "What happened wasn't a big deal, just
goes to show people are out there always on the prowl."
It doesn't matter how good your security is, if someone gets your login,
they can login. It's one of those "Duh" things.

Its hardly hacking when a US researcher has his system compromised
offering up passwords to his account at the LHC!
I wonder what the dumb fsck in the US was running?!
Don't tell me it was a compromised WINDUMMY PC! Oh no!
Lets ban all researchers with WINDUMMY PCs!!!!

Nonsense of course. Any well administered Linux system would limit
logins to various hosts and/or subnets. Or should.

Are the people using it aware of all the virii and trojans on his site?
Or has he finally fixed all that?
Moshe Goldfarb
Can't say but I stay clear of anything he goes near because even if he
isn't doing it on purpose, he is so incompetent as an administrator,
anything is possible.
Homer got banned from the channel and he still hasn't figured out how to

Although it is tempting to stop reading at the top of the page when the

Interesting that the article says nothing about Linux, and that you are
reporting on a article that you never read.
The attack is believed to have come from a user who let his password out.
Now what that has to do with Linux I do not know.

So? By COLA standards, that's still a failure of the OS. Did you miss
all those posts blaming Windows back end systems for credit card
information theft, when the attackers got their information by sniffing
unencrypted wireless networks used to link sales terminals in retail
establishments to sales data and access information?
You can't have it both ways--either the OS is blameless in both cases,
or responsible in both.
The fact is that if you want a to build a secure system, you can built
it on top of Linux, or Windows, or Mac OS, or even DOS, if the people
designing it know what they are doing. And if they do not, all bets are
off.

What has any of this to do wih Linux? Linux was never mentioned.

But Liarmutt will never agree. Roy has his hand up Liarmutt's arse and

You missed the COLA "advocates" harping on about how it was ALL Linux?
And how Scientists only used other scientists work? etc etc. The usual

The reason I said to read the whole article is because it is an

Renning's Maxim:
Man is the highest animal. Man does the classifying.
High Plains Thumper
True. It also states, [quote] A few years ago, Stanford
University in California announced that a number of
high-performance academic computer centres had been attacked by
hackers lured by the phenomenal power of the grid - pools of
computing power linked by dedicated high-speed networks. Beyond
shutting down the machines or stealing or deleting data, one
likely malicious use of such power is to crack passwords. [/quote]
Implication is that since the lab uses Unix/Linux, all computers
in the infrastructure are Unix/Linux, which is not necessarily
true. Because of security compromises, fewer are posting what
their infrastructures consist of.
There is no mention of the web server OS, which hacked page got
displayed.
Thieves will always attempt to compromise security, no matter the
OS. The weakest link are people.

Ah, there lies the problem, Tim is following Erik Funkenbusch's
erroneous philosophy of binary conditions toward truth about
security.
Linux is inherently more secure than Microsoft Windows, provided
proper security discipline is exercised. Here is an article
regarding even Timmy's beloved Mac OS being felled:

CanSecWest A laptop running a fully patched version of
Microsoft's Vista operating system was the second and final
machine to fall in a hacking contest that pitted the security of
Windows, OS X and Ubuntu Linux. With both a Windows and Mac
machine felled, only the Linux box remained standing following
the three-day competition.

LiarMutt is a complete fraud.
Notice how whenever anyone brings up one of the many other places
Schestowtiz spreads his paranoia LiarMutt immediately retorts that he
doesn't go there.
Sure.
If he really didn't spend time in those places, like ICQ for example,
he wouldn't say anything.

Most places do. Roy is a burden on real advocacy. He offers nothing back
to OSS and cultivates loonies like Liarmutt and Willy
Poaster. Fortunately the chance of them breeding is nil.

But to help, some reading:

Quack calling someone a " hypocrite. A liar. And a fraud." Oh, the irony!

It's Quack's reaction when he's no argument left. Quack hates anyone who
knows more than him, & clearly shows his ignorance.
Actually I can believe he worked at CERN, & I wonder how long it took him
to dig that circular tunnel.

So you deny that I was right on best practices with the NVidia drivers?
Aha. Thanks for that Willy. Another indication of just how useless you
are. Argue the man Willy, not the point - thats your way.

Not bad! Quite amusing.

Hadron so badly wants to be clever.
Poor fellow.

Let Hadrone continue to lemonate.

Indeed ... a publicly-accessible web server got {cr,h}acked, not the network
that either operates the LHC or anal;yzes its datastream. The article's
alarm is similar to that of declaring a "laundromat has been
compromised --SHUT 'ER DOWN!" because someone drew a moustache on the
picture of the woman on the detergent vending machine.

You might wish to consider the webserver configuration being at fault, which
is the usual case.

Oh, I guess you mean the bash script you can download from the nvidia
site. I don't know, I guess I used it maybe ten times over two or three
years. It didn't seem so hard. Nowadays I let Ubuntu take care of it.
As I recall, it's difficult to use the script with Ubuntu, but I
always used it back when I ran Fedora. Ubuntu has automated it somehow
so that I am little aware of how it works beyond having to fetch it
through Synaptic after I install the distro. They don't put it into the
stock distro because it's proprietary.
Moshe Goldfarb.
It's not using the script that is difficult it's that there is a good
chance it will mis-identify things and hose your Xsystem.
Using Synaptic in Ubuntu works.
For other distributions the preferred method is to use the package manager.

We were discussing Debian which is more draconian with its dealings with
things like the nvidia-installer and why using it is not recommended.
Linonut
I didn't even know Nvidia provided a bash script.
Nor did I know that I was "recommending nOObs to use the NVidia-installer."
Sounds like more Hadrone confabulation.
Just for record, my statement was basically that I like to upgrade my
kernel, and, when I do, I have to reinstall Nvidia (and VMware). Since
I've already got the kernel-source infrastructure in place, and have an
already-configured xorg.conf, downloading the latest NVidia installer
and running it is, well, trivial. Seriously. Not for a newbie, but for
anyone familiar with virtual consoles, and the basics of the display
manager and X.
And, really, the kernel build isn't difficult to do manually. I don't
even consult my notes on it anymore.
