ALL THE EFFORTS SEEMS FINALLY TO GET THE TENTACLE LD's ATTENTION...
KEEP IT UP CYPHERPUNKS!!!... ANARCHY IS WINNING...

P.S. TO LD...
THE FOLLOWING SHOULD REALLY TURN YOU ON...

and a traceroute to LDs favorite posting machine
the return times indicate that my end is a 9.6 ppp connection 2 hops away
from 4. Note also I didnt query intervening routers and hosts for
information.
Upstream hosts and/or routers may also be compromisable...

WELL WHAT DOES THIS TELL US TECHNICALLY SO FAR... THERE
IS MOST LIKELY NO EFFECTIVE FIREWALL PROTECTION BETWEEN LD'S FAVORITE MACHINE
AND THE OUTSIDE WORLD AS TRACEROUTE USES UDP PROBES ON RANDOM PORTS.
NO INCOMING UDP BLOCKAGE GENERALLY INDICATES THE SECURITY
OF THAT MACHINE IS NOT DEPENDENT ON PROXY/PACKET FILTERING TYPE ROUTERS AND
 FIREWALLED DOMAINS

ADDITIONALLY A ISS LOG RUN VIA

THE SCAN WAS TERMINATED AT THIS POINT. IN THE ABOVE LIST
WE FIND SEVERAL GEMS THE BEST OF WHICH IS
SUNRPC   :)... so next of course

 WHETHER RUNNING REGULAR OR SECURE RPC (THE LATTER REQUIRES nfscrack
 TO CRACK THE SECRET EXPONENT) THIS MACHINE IS MOST LIKELY A SPARC OR
 COMPATIBLE RUNNING A GIVEN VERSION OF SUNOS 4.1.X(CHECK HINFO IF AVAILABL.)
 A CHECK SHOULD BE MADE TO SEE WHICH SUN NETWORK SECURITY PATCHES HAVE
BEEN APPLIED TO THIS HOST. 

A probe of longs.lance.colostate.edu smtp port :
longs.lance.colostate.edu Sendmail 8.6.4/8.6.4 (LANCE 1.00) ready at xxx,xx2
 xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx -xxxx
220 ESMTP spoken here
VRFY ld231782
250 L. Detweiler <ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu>
EXPN ld231782
502 That's none of your business
quit
221 longs.lance.colostate.edu closing connection


OK SO FAR SO GOOD HIS MACHINE SHOWS A FAIRLY SECURE SMTP DAEMON.
EXAMINATION OF THAT REVISION AND SOURCE OF SENDMAIL IS
STILL UNDER QUESTION BECAUSE THE CURRENT VERSION 8.65 ADDS EVEN MORE SECURITY
PATCHES 
CHECKING FOR ANONYMOUS FTP WE FIND:

I WILL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO APOLGIZE BEFORE I HAVE MY TENTACLES
FORM FOR THEIR NEXT ASSAULT. IF YOU DO NOT APOLOGIZE
YOU WILL REGRET THE RESULTS OF YOUR ACTIONS.
I AM NOT TOYING AROUND WITH YOU ANY FURTHER . WE ARE HAVING
TENTACLE WHO ARE INFORMATION BROKERS PASSING EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT
