[linux-team] Danger !
J'ai trouvé une référence à un programme capable de scanner un grand
nombre de domaines, dont la liste compilée dans le programme contient
nombre de domaines belges :
Article : http://lwn.net/1999/0311/security.phtml
Liste: ftp://ftp.apaynet.com/pub/glpro/glpro.txt
Les domaines belges précompilés sont :
agoranet.be
arcadis.be
belgium.eu.net
charline.be
infoplaza.be
interweb.be
linkline.be
netropolis.be
ping.be
skynet.be
ugr.be
unicall.be
Il serait sans doute bon d'essayer de les prévenir !
Je me charge de ping et de skynet.

Several ISPs were recently impacted by a program
called GeoList Professional, from earthonline.com. This
program scans a list of over 4000 domains for possible
user names based on a dictionary-lookup scheme. The
way that the scan is done results essentially in a
Denial-of-Service style attack on impacted machines.
Earthonline's response has been to pull the product. To
see if you are in a domain that was affected by the attack,
you can check this list of domain names hardcoded into
the program. In the meantime, the report generated a
great deal of mail on the Bugtraq list addressing how to
properly configure your Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) to
handle attacks of this sort. No one solution was agreed to
be the best, but the discussion was interesting and
enlightening ...
