- why other platforms weren't affected
-
If that's the case, why didn't the worm infect any other systems? Even if it is true that "MOST Linux DBA understand the concept of process privileges and MOST Windows DBA's do not," most != all, so you'd think that there would be at least one case of this affecting another platform.
Because other systems (like OSX) have simple statefull firewalls turned on by default. Only with XPSP2 has Windows started doing this. That leaves a ton of open boxes on the net.
Couple that with the fact that there are only tiny amount of OSX systems that even have MySQL running, and it shouldn't suprise you one bit that only Windows boxes were affected. - Posted by: toadlife Posted on: 01/29/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
