New jargon: The Warhol Worm

The following is an analysis of a worst case virulence for a computer worm, using existing mechanisms and a modified infection strategy. Such a “Warhol Worm” could infect every vulnerable machine in a 15 minute time period, outpacing human defense. It is important to understand the possible threat, in order to develop better defenses.

“In the future, everybody will have 15 minutes of fame”
-Andy Warhol

Bloody hell, but this weblogging requires requires some discipline.

Today was mostly working on getting a co-loc up and running in London, helping move the Oregon co-loc to a new machine, attending the Sklyarov bail hearing, and finally getting a goddamn backup system running on my home machine.

Wow. Imagine owning a book for a whole semester. What a privilege to be paying for such temporary bounty!

The Steve Ballmer dancing movie we published last Friday has proven to be a bit too popular. Especially, it seems to Mr. 212.110.233.20 , a Russian who is using FlashGet to try and access it five times a second since about 23:50 +0100 last night.

Hiking in Henry Cowell Redwood State Park with Jonathan, Q and Cait. Jonathan’s managed to get his Mobile Mesh routing network going between his house and his neighbours. He definitely has to do a presentation for BAWUG; I threatened to plug the Debian package he’s patched up on Tracking for added motivation.

Vim 6 went beta over the weekend! Now it’s definitely Tracking.
