Why do they stand on one foot?

Snowmen are fun to hit with cars.

However, you have to watch out for something if you do that.
There are people that build snowmen on hydrants because people hit snowmen with cars.

Lots of students around here used to run around kicking traffic cones, then people started placing them over hydrants and watching drunk students take a run up at one, then break their foot...

How about a sshd that blows up (buffer overflow > rm -rf / or so) the client after ten bad (bruteforce?) password attempts? After all, they probably do use the same ssh runtime libraries the rest of us do, even if the client isn't the same.

If a hacker tries to send every password in the dictionary at you in an attempt to gain access to your server, the tenth one (and it takes several million attempts to reliably get a password) sends a drive-erasing virus back.

Runtime libraries (aka DLLs/SOs)... those are files of code that are meant to be used by programs. The program can be made smaller because the library has a lot of the code it needs. Most distributions of Linux use the same runtime libraries, with the same vulnerabilities. Run a maliciously formed piece of code through them, and you get a buffer overflow (always bad). From there, the next piece of code the system executes is anything the hacker chooses... like a spyware installler.

By default, programs are compiled to use these libraries, so they use the same code with the same insecurities as the rest of us.

Or they could have a safeguard against your defense mechanism, which then proceeds to scare them off because you could have several other things lurking in your system that they weren't expecting...

And the moral of the story is... put teeth in your services, and people won't try to break them.

I think that's one of the funniest things I've ever seen TJ say.

Heh. :P

Few times do the words "moral" "password" and "aardvark" occur in the same thought. That was one of those time.

Sounds more techno to me.

Now (10 seconds later) that I think of it, I don't know what it sounds like. Maybe this?

Now presenting Moral Password Aardvark (formerly Moral Aardvark Password) for the first time after Dirk "Dirk" Dirkmanson left the band to join up with a band of wandering Tibetan imaginary sheep herders who play the timpani for a rather large rock somewhere southwest of Lhasa, and their new lead singer Blind Melon Chitlin'!!!

Yay! Yippee! Yahoo! Cactus! Bread! Lemur!
