Re: [LUG] [Fwd: Vista 'most secure ever' - Gates]

 

Ok next lug meet can someone can bring a windows vista box (if they have 
one) along,  and a hub,  we can connect it to a bunch of Linux boxes adn 
see if we can er hack into it,  or at least see what all the fuss is about,

I am sure a bunch of computer linux / unix users can find some sort of 
exploit,

rules,   the box must be installed as is,  with out modification to the 
security system,  and we can see if there are the usual open ports, or 
something we can take advantage of,

we can then perhaps publish our findings, somewhere,   the less 
qualified the person who can get in the better,  that way its more 
embarrasing to MS, lol

if anything we can make a list of things that MS call innovative but 
have been in Unix / Linux for years.
