dear sierra, what about vulnerability of t:v's open ports to corporate networks...

what kind of security enhancements can I use to convice my boss that it would be secure hosting a t:v server on my companies oc3?


the more technically explicit the better.

zonealarm pro + bonzai buddy

Ummm, open ports are not the danger, it is what runs on those ports that is. The worst I can think of is perhaps a buffer overflow or a server crash. No data vulnerabilities or access to internal networks. It is a game ffs.

What exactly could they do to your machine? Kick-ban everyone from the server? I don't get it.

Edit: Ohh yeah. I doubt the server program would be that unsecure unless it has a built in dos prompt :dumbn'stupid:

hello you sagits are not understanding him, he needs bonzai buddy

Youd run it in a protected user jail anyway, unless you run the server as root on the companys fileserver, im sure you wont have a problem...

I don't think bofo needs to be the admin of any servers, so this should be a moot discussion.

Im just wondering what kind testing if any has been done.

or will I have to test it myself?


and what are some other ways to lock down the server?

You worry too much about the details. The only important thing is the server name. A good server needs a good name, so come back when you've got a real ringer.

Apotheoserv

I do believe there are programs to DOS machines that run UT servers.
Don't know much beyond that.

:lol: :rofl: :lol:

I always called my server Data's Ski Lodge. :shrug:

Just put it in your DMZ

yeah Im guessing in the DMZ with no domain rights ought to do it...

but Im curious if sierra is looking at this at all

what is wrong with a little buffer overflow leading to the execution of arbitrary code on a corporate network, between friends?

If you don't segregate the external servers from the internal network in some way, you get what you deserve.

like I said before dumba-I mean colosus


I just curious if sierra has any info on this subject.

you. stuf.

Just steal an OC3 duh?

Just don't connect it to the internet and you'll have nothing to worry about, too many haxorz. There, problem solved.
