VERY interesting - but security implications to others?!?VERY interesting - but security implications to others?!?Posted Feb 11, 2006 9:33 UTC (Sat) by efexis (guest, #26355)In reply to: VERY interesting - but security implications to others?!? by elanthis Parent article: Van Jacobson's network channels
If my memory serves me correctly, there are one or two servers out there on the internet that run linux. I know it's not very common, but some of them actually rent space/bandwidth/etc so that people can host their own websites, and they allow these users to run code (cgi scripts) or even have shell access via telnet/ssh.
You obviously don't see this practice taking off, but even so, I think if you told someone who offers shared hosting, not to bother protecting against ways unprivilidged users can cause havock, because somebody "can simple break into the datacenter with a boot CD or laptop"... you'd probably get an incredibly sarcastic response.
But no, you stick to talking about how to improve the performance of a 10Gig heavy loaded network interface --on a workstation-- where it'll really count.
