- DCMarkie, on 05/16/2008, -17/+125Heres what the comic is about:
http://metasploit.com/users/hdm/tools/debian-opens ...
On May 13th, 2008 the Debian project announced that Luciano Bello found an interesting vulnerability in the OpenSSL package they were distributing.
All SSL and SSH keys generated on Debian-based systems (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc) between September 2006 and May 13th, 2008 may be affected. In the case of SSL keys, all generated certificates will be need to recreated and sent off to the Certificate Authority to sign. Any Certificate Authority keys generated on a Debian-based system will need be regenerated and revoked. All system administrators that allow users to access their servers with SSH and public key authentication need to audit those keys to see if any of them were created on a vulnerabile system. Any tools that relied on OpenSSL's PRNG to secure the data they transferred may be vulnerable to an offline attack. Any SSH server that uses a host key generated by a flawed system is subject to traffic decryption and a man-in-the-middle attack would be invisible to the users. This flaw is ugly because even systems that do not use the Debian software need to be audited in case any key is being used that was created on a Debian system. - Ploosheeta, on 05/17/2008, -6/+49Just pretend you do like everyone else.
- sixsidepentagon, on 05/16/2008, -6/+29Do you understand it?
- Farik, on 05/16/2008, -6/+29Yes, and you are not it.
- xNaquada, on 05/17/2008, -2/+18What are you... stupid? Not only is that meme dead, you dont even use it correctly.
- unpolloloco, on 05/16/2008, -7/+21forums.xkcd.com
- netneutrality, on 05/16/2008, -5/+19Okay, scared now.... This is the most awful flaw I've ever seen. o.O
- ElectricKetchup, on 05/17/2008, -8/+16It's weird how this XKCD got front page, but the news about this major security bug in debian/ubuntu/etc didn't hit front page.
- talonstriker, on 05/17/2008, -5/+12dude you went from +1 to -48 is 15 seconds.
- bobkingof12vs, on 05/16/2008, -6/+12youre comment is not exempt
- inactive, on 05/17/2008, -5/+9In the time it took me to read this comment, then click the bury button, you went from +1 to -22.
That's impressive, or a glitch in the comment system. Either or. - ElectricKetchup, on 05/17/2008, -3/+7You missed out on the mod_ssl bug.... Remote shell as apache user on shipping OSes for a long time (that was a few years ago).
- WhereAmI, on 05/17/2008, -2/+6Well since you didn't understand what the comment is about I guess I have some news for you that you probably don't know: Digg uses Debian for their servers.
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -6/+10Keep him at +1?
- Rivetgeek, on 05/17/2008, -15/+19If you dont get the comic, it's not the comic that's failing, it's you.
- Acglaphotis, on 05/17/2008, -3/+7Actually, yes.
- rlbond86, on 05/17/2008, -2/+5Fedora != Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- manitoba98xp, on 05/16/2008, -2/+5Surely you mean cos(2π). Everyone uses radians.
- hansblix, on 05/17/2008, -3/+6So does my cat's. Sometimes I wonder if he is ever self-conscious about it.
- SoyCockail, on 05/17/2008, -3/+6I think its a glitch, I have seen it happen a few times now and the comments are over an hour old which seems odd that nobody would digg or buy the comment until I click the button then 30 other users did.
- arjie, on 05/17/2008, -2/+5No Mr. Striker, I expect you to die.
- iofthestorm, on 05/17/2008, -2/+4Clicky thing says he's never been dugg or buried.
- Rulex, on 05/17/2008, -2/+4yup, broken it went from +1 to -32 for me also.
- slipkn0tz23, on 05/16/2008, -2/+4Don't fight it.
- esoterick, on 05/16/2008, -4/+6From your comment I'm guessing you type with two fingers and work at an Arby's... awesome
- ZigVicious, on 05/17/2008, -2/+4only now you can fix it by clicking the other button afterwards!
- gh0st32, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1yes it does. I'm not on the XKCD tip like the rest of these fools.
- drastic8, on 05/16/2008, -7/+7Dear people who bitch about people who bitch about xkcd always being on Digg,
Buenos Dias!
That is all. - jackalsclaw, on 05/17/2008, -3/+4i would say bush programing the debian-openssl project is the most likely of any 911 conspiracy theories i have heard so far.
- cerealjynx, on 05/17/2008, -3/+4it's true...we are...
CRAB PEOPLE - dkapuchino, on 05/17/2008, -1/+2Way to go. You broke the system, Bash bush, get dugg up.
- talonstriker, on 05/17/2008, -3/+4oh nvm. Looks like it was a bug...unless 46 other people decided to un-bury you
- telamascope, on 05/17/2008, -7/+8DIGG IS NOT AN RSS FEED!!!!!
- caleb4mj, on 05/16/2008, -2/+3Burrritos!
- Games4Life, on 05/17/2008, -2/+2OVER 9000 BURIES!
- XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, on 05/17/2008, -3/+3Yes, and it's still not ***** funny. It's way too blunt.
- Wartz, on 05/16/2008, -2/+2might be sarcasm
- kovert, on 05/17/2008, -1/+1I guess you got dugg down because people were too lazy to click the link.
- jecruzs, on 05/16/2008, -7/+7its*
- kirillorlov, on 05/17/2008, -2/+2And the winner is... Random Comment!
- thenoseyshadow, on 05/24/2008, -0/+0 "You can do anything on Windows that you can do on Linux, easier."
Windows gets viruses easier than Linux!
A lot of Linux distros come with a nice Add/Remove feature. It's much easier than having to go to some website and dig up an installer somewhere. PS: That website is probably using a *nix server. - shmee, on 05/16/2008, -5/+5Fedora=Redhat project
- feureau, on 07/14/2008, -1/+1There's an xkcd book coming:
http://digg.com/programming/an_XKCD_book_is_coming - decilios, on 05/17/2008, -4/+4xkcd sucks
- inactive, on 05/17/2008, -2/+1Nah, im actually very tech savvy, you just make broad assumptions, seems like you would be the one working at arbys.
- killerofkiller, on 05/16/2008, -3/+2What about using Cos(360) instead?
