[LinuxUsers] Dan Tentler's script kiddie antics last night

[Vasta, Stephen]

 . . . a penny for my thoughts . . .

Take a closer look at the following website:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch4.en.html

This document demonstrates everything needed to secure your system from
attack.  Of particular interest is section 4.17.6: Protecting against
ARP attacks.

As a personal preference, I'm running Debian Lenny as a base system,
with any "at-home" and/or "at-work" systems that I need as VirtualBox
machines (i.e.: my at-work Windows XP system).  I use tools described in
the above document to protect my base (and hence my virtual) machines .
. .  The VirtualBox package has just been picked-up for ongoing support
and development by Sun Microsystems, and to me (for my purposes)
exhibits at least 3 times better performance than VMware.  Also, it's
free . . .
