		<description><![CDATA[If you are running BIND on your server, here&#8217;s a tip I discovered the hard way for reducing the probability of your server being abused. A few days ago, I started seeing major explosions in the amount of bandwidth running through my server. I scoured my Apache and email logs, looked at what processes were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was recomiling Apache today to update a few modules to their latest versions, and ran into a problem I hadn&#8217;t seen before: the configure script complained that it couldn&#8217;t find libpng.(a&#124;so) (meaning libpng.a or libpng.so). I did a bunch of searching online looking for solutions, and after trying a number of things that didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The top three priorities of an internet server administrator are:
1. Security
2. Security
3. Security
When I was a newbie, I naively installed Red Hat Linux 5.something and if I thought about security at all, I probably figured that I was using a popular distro, so it should be safe. Wrong! That server got cracked many times before [...]]]></description>

This weblog will chronicle some of the problems and challenges I ran into, and offer some advice and solutions for anyone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a message I&#8217;ve attempted twice to post to Bugtraq, but it appears to have been lost both times. Traffic on Bugtraq has been spotty lately. It talks about a security problem with Blogger&#8217;s handling of comments:
Having notified Blogger of this twice over the course of a number of months, and not seeing them take [...]]]></description>

How did I manage to contact them? Their domain names were registered to someone with an email address [...]]]></description>

It keeps my server logs a little cleaner, but it feels like more work than I should have to be doing&#8230;sort of like email spam. Blocking based on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following, excepted from Yahoo!&#8217;s FAQ about DomainKeys, their proposal for authenticated email, points to a possible implementation of SSL (a.k.a. HTTPS or secure HTTP) which wouldn&#8217;t require a CA, which would make setting up a secure server free, rather than requiring anywhere form $50 to hundreds of dollars per year:

I haven&#8217;t run into a problem with it myself, and today, I took steps to postpone any problems even further by moving to a faster server on a faster connection. Does this mean I&#8217;ll finally stop harping on the issue? Nope. I still [...]]]></description>
