Well it appears now that the source for Windows is out on the net. I've often wondered when this would happen. Oh well, its not really the complete source for windows, but its enough to make people curious, the way I see it, it'll either hurt or help MS, though I'm seriously not surprised that the windows source hasn't been out on the net earlier.

The W32.Welchia.Worm which fixes the W32.MSBlaster.Worm is causing even more problems throughout networks across the planet. It has been upgraded to a Category 4 worm, considering its generating as much or more traffic than the MSBlaster worm that gets eaten by the Welchia Worm. my first journal entry is a story that I submitted to slashdot to go on the main page, it was rejected, hmm, that's funny considering it all.

an article in Rueter's says that a Verizon ISP customer who will be sued by RIAA has hired lawyers and told Verizon not to turn over her identity, as well as her lawyers have told RIAA to keep quiet about her identity. Citing constitutional rights, the user has so far kept her identity private. However, RIAA is not backing down and is challenging the petition and saying that they are right in this matter.

yeah there's a new worm on the net now that disables the msblast worm, even though its a variant of the original ms blast worm. looks like someone is tryin to do their penance, cuz this thing also updates your system, which could be a headache for good sysadmins, but is a plus for lazy home users and lazy sysadmins. update update update (sql slammer anyone?)
