Hi Paula,

Great site! But a pity that the archives do not seem updated for quite a while. Wish they could have updated it more often.

Robin

This site is a hackers site and as such it is worth while for you to get access.

If we know what they do then we can stop them.

I now have to revise my biased prejudice that astalavista is only used for finding cracks :)

Thanks

Robin,

Funny thing about being blocked, because I'm blocked also. I just sent an email to our security people to open the site up.

Paula, thanks!

If you know HOW the "criminals" are breaking into things, it makes it easier to defend against. It's important to always be alert of the newest hacking rage, so that you can prepare your site before they attempt to hack you.

Security based upon keeping things "secret" or hush-hush is purely ignorant.

Paula,

Thanks for the link. Phrack issues were earlier accessible on their site, but the site has been "down" for more than a year now.

Robin & Shiju,

I had it unblocked:

Looks as the domain astalavista.com was in the ratings file. The IP (212.215.125.126) however was not.

Excellent point Harry!
Unfortunately we seem to live in an "ignorance is bliss" world.
I am also, blocked. But I'll check your site from home Paula. It sounds worth the effort.
Thanks for the what I'm sure to be a great post.!

Paula,

Great post.
I hadn't been back there in a while & my Lord - has it grown.
The UNIX archive alone has practically tripled.

"Know thy enemy" rings truer today than ever!

Thx,
