Hacked from across the big pond. I wish the writer of the piece had included more info, like what he was using (although I have my own ideas on that).

Do you know what the military systems are running?

No mercy.
Coming soon: Tha SYNDICATE.
101 things that the Mozilla browser can do that Internet Explorer cannot.

Looks like it's for Windoze:

A powerful remote access solution for Windows XP/2000/NT and Windows 98/ME http://www.remotelyanywhere.com/.

Obligatory bump to linux-hater Bush2000.

Sounds like the sys admins at the target site left some screen doors open. I'm a recovering computer luddite, and even I know that there are programs that can monitor installed programs and control their network activity. I run ZoneAlarm on my Win 98 machine at home. I know it just improves my illusion of security, but it did alert my to the fact that my ISP was regularly sending me PCAnywhere pings. It also tells me that it controls network access of installed programs although I don't fully believe that. The fact that I am aware of these things tells me that security was pretty lax at the targets.

As an aside, I wish I had skipped reading most of what what I've read about Linux. After weenying around for about a year, I finally bought Redhat Linux. What a snap it's been to install and use.
