How many...

How many of these folks posting on here (newbies - trying to get their first Unix-like box online) do you think have taken the time to learn the ins-and-outs of tcp_wrappers, or inetd, or even simple init-scripts? Maybe I'm overreacting here, but since I've spent my time on "the other side of the wall" with security, that really concerns me.

I think new readers should check out this simple wake-up call, and at least learn how to turn off all services - turn them on again when you know what to do with them.

A poster recently touched upon the honeynet project - remote root access within 15 minutes on a default Redhat install (sure, it was 6.2, but 7.x isn't all that different).

How can we get word out about this without sounding like preachers? I would just hate to see someone's great new Unix-experiance muddled with the bitter taste of a cracking attack.

Any ideas?

NAME
uri_urn - URI utilities, URN scheme SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.2 package require uri::urn ?1.1.2? uri::urn::quote url uri::urn::unquote url _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This package provides two commands to quote and unquote the disallowed characters for url using the urn scheme, registers the scheme with the package uri, and provides internal helpers which will be automatically used by the commands uri::split and uri::join of package uri to handle urls using the urn scheme. COMMANDS
uri::urn::quote url This command quotes the characters disallowed by the urn scheme (per RFC 2141 sec2.2) in the url and returns the modified url as its result. uri::urn::unquote url This commands performs the reverse of ::uri::urn::quote. It takes an urn url, removes the quoting from all disallowed characters, and returns the modified urls as its result.
