Wiki says

Quote:

In Japanese history, a ninja (忍者, ninja?) was someone specially trained in a variety of unorthodox arts of war. The methods used by ninja included assassination, espionage, and a variety of martial arts.

Their exact origins are still unknown. Their roles may have included sabotage, espionage, scouting and assassination missions as a way to destabilize and cause social chaos in enemy territory or against an opposing ruler, perhaps in the service of their feudal rulers (daimyo, shogun), or an underground ninja organization waging guerrilla warfare.

That's so not me Laughing

Is this a reminder about "Attacks Beginning on a Net Address Flaw", seen on the BBC News web site today, This is the acticle below.

Attacks begin on net address flaw

Attack code that exploits flaws in the net's addressing system are starting to circulate online, say security experts.

The code could be a boon to phishing gangs who redirect web users to fake bank sites and steal login details.

In light of the news net firms are being urged to apply a fix for the loop-hole before attacks by hi-tech criminals become widespread.

Net security groups say there is anecdotal evidence that small scale attacks are already happening.

Address list

"We are in a lot of trouble," said security guru Dan Kaminsky who found the flaw in the net's Domain Name System (DNS) in March 2008.

"This attack is very good," he said. "This attack is being weaponised out in the field. Everyone needs to patch, please."

The DNS acts as the net's address system and helps computers translate the website names people use, such as bbc.co.uk, into the numerical equivalents preferred by machines.

If exploited the flaw would allow malicious hackers to direct people to fake sites even if that user typed in the correct address for the place they wanted to visit.

Now security researchers have come up with two separate methods for attacking the flaw.

The code used in the attacks has been added to a popular testing tool called Metasploit used by both good and bad hackers alike to find weaknesses in computer systems.

The attack code was developed following the accidental leaking of the bug Mr Kaminsky discovered. Initially he had planned to release more information in October.

After being discovered in March, information about it was shared with large net organisations such as Cisco, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft to give them chance to produce patches and fixes.

Now net supply firms are being urged to get on with the job of updating their systems so customers are not left at risk.

I've already pledged my allegiance to the pirates... because everyone know's they're cooler than ninjas.

^^^ Oh hell no you did not just say that. Pirates are nasty. They fight with brute force without care for who or what they are hurting. Pirates are scammers.

Ninja's are centered. They are in control. They are intelligent. The fight with their minds. A Ninja could be anywhere and you would never know it. A ninja may be anyone. Like your 78 your old Grandma. Yes. I said it...your Granny might be a Ninja, and you would never even know. Ninja's...we (and your Granny) are Ninjas. Which is awesome because Ninja's kick ASS!

And we all know you want to be a pirate just because you think Jack Sparrow is hot.

Johnny Depp was in town recently. I liked him up until that time. His little movie shoot disrupted my daily walks...

I like pirates because they rule. Most pirate ships operated on a fairly democratic basis. Also, unlike ninjas, they know how to have fun. I learned waaaaaaaay too much about pirates when I had a huge pirate enthusiast living with us over winter.

Ooh, you must tell me what movie. Sorry...I'm a film major. I like to know what's going on where and with whom and when in film.

Ninja's are kind of made of win.

ETA:

It was probably The Rum Diary that he was working which, coincidentally, sounds like a pirate movie.

He should so do a Ninja movie though. Then we could compare it to PotC and finally figure out who wins more.
