Hello all,
re:hP3000 and virus(s)
>>Virus,,,NO..... Possible hackers,,,hmmmm yes... how good is your security
I would recommend installing the GR networking patches for your release,
specifically but not limited to the Internet products that have been
reported in CERTs or have been hacked on non-3000 platforms. Examples...
FTP, TELNET, INETD, WEB SERVER, SEND MAIL, TCP etc.. There are also fixes
for socket/port based denial of service attacks in NS Services.
I would be more concerned about this when introducing a 3000 on the internet
than an encrypted VPN telnet access, but something to think about.
Regards,
James Hofmeister
