Looking For Quartz Download.

They're welcome to it!

I run a dedicated PVS machine, there's nothing really of any great value on it. I use a non-standard port, a firewall and it's a dynamic IP.

The odds of something happening that I would find annoying or even notice are pretty low. At least low enough for me not to care.

Man, all you chicken littles out there. The sky is falling, the sky is falling...

the sky is falling. something tells me your machine will join the many thousands that have been hacked and then used in distributed denial of service attacks on CNN the next time it happens. they don't want your machine for what you have on it, but what they can DO with it.

Gotta agree here. A dynamic IP is NO security whatsoever. It'll slow down someone that has a grudge against you from just jackhammering your box, but the real danger is from people running port scanners on entire networks. Once your system gets compromised a little piece of code is all it takes to have your system report in, change your IP all you want, it won't matter. Sorry, but this kind of blatant disregard is the reason there are STILL Code Red infected systems out there banging away on web servers.

Oh, did I forget to mention that I have anti-hammering code running as well?

Ten failed attempts from the one IP address and it's blocked...this also catches port scanners.

So, I'm pretty safe and happy as well...unlike the paranoid, frustrated, embittered majority out there who are just looking for something to complain about.

Fear is a very powerful weapon. Your government has been using it against you for the last 50 years to get re-elected.

Enlightenment crushes fear everytime.

Anti-hammering code? can you recommend some?

Thanks

I'm also on week 2 of the 30-day Showshifter trial. So far, I'm impressed. Hopefully, Quartz will emerge before the end of my trial-- I like it so much I'm considering a switch.

folks-- we will be making frequent status updates on Quartz (target is once a week) and I've created these threads for those updates:

Quartz updates -- announcement thread:

Quartz updates -- discussion thread:
http://discuss.snapstream.com/cgi-bi...c;f=1;t=000648

I'm hoping this will give you guys the visibility you've been looking for... we're working hard to get Quartz done!

Oh! Well said SRigby! Well said indeed. The ironic thing is - that video is a great vehicle for brainwashing - and here we are

BTW: Outpost is a good anti-hammering SW PKG also.
