The stupidity overwhelms me!
I'd love to hear your theories on what types of social engineering attacks work best against Apache as opposed to IIS. Go ahead and tell us. Do you find that Apache is more likely to open gay porn than IIS or do you find that naked pictures of Hitler are the way into Apache's data? I did hear that IIS was particularly vulnerable to the pictures of "Saddam Captured" that went around a couple years ago. I await your answer with bated breath. happy
