[olug] luser trickery

[Mark Martin]

Okay, Brian.  For those of us who were naive enough to trust you and followed 
your link believing that you wouldn't risk damaging our systems and were 
providing a link to a description of an exploit that we should avoid rather 
than enticing us into compromising our systems with a cryptic "warning", 
would you please explain what the (insert favorite expletive here) you have 
done to our systems?  Galeon showed an almost completely blank page but I 
found an uninvited server listening on the doom port (666) thereafter, which 
I am guessing came from your exploit.  Do those of us who trusted you have to 
waste more of our lives cleaning up after your joke?  Maybe the first 
security lesson to learn from your message is not to trust you.

Also, I'm guessing that "luser" is really "loser".  Ha, Ha.  I'm a loser.  
Now, can you please tell us slower students what you did so we can stop 
wasting our time and stop worrying about what nefarious code is covertly 
running on our boxes?
