There is no way +to avoid the suggestion that SUN Microsystems ought to have been +sharper about their vulnerability. Most of us knew about "root kit" +at least a year ago. This message, however, is aimed not at at at the +feckless quality managers at SUN, but at the self-righteous +programmers who support "root kit". + +You guys are brilliant. Compared with the hackers who attack +MicroSlush systems, you belong in another realm altogether. But +you have never thought through the implications of what you are +doing. My little FTP site has no commercial effect whatsoever, +but I cannot keep it open as a Trojan horse access to the equally +public-spirited network through which it used to communicate. + +You claim that you intend to shut down voracious corporate networks by +making it too risky to keep them open. What you have achieved, at +least in my case, is the termination of a service which was offered +absolutely freely to all users. Because you have made network access +to the software which I was delighted to offer freely to all users +a way of destroying the entire network system, I can no longer +offer that access. + +You claim that your activities are inspired by the highest moral +standards. Maybe they are, but I would like to hear from you +just what those standards are. You have made it impossible for +me to distribute free software, and it looks as if you will manage +to shut off more than half the remaining distributions of free +software. The top echelons of the software industry will not +be affected at all. They knew you were there, and they could afford +to defend themselves against against you. We can't afford it, and +because of your activities, we can't even go on distributing the +free software we formerly offered. + +IS THIS REALLY WHAT YOU INTENDED? + +It is virtually certain that one of the "root kit" team will read +this message. You know better than anyone else how to disguise +the origin of a mail message. I would like to hear from one of you +just why you think the termination of the growing habit of free +distribution of Unix software is a crime that you are willing +to suppress with all the energy you can muster. + +- -- +Email: mackay@cs.washington.edu Pierre A.
