<P>This is interesting... I *never* considered an attack of sourceforge as
|
|
<BR>
|
|
something a cracker might consider. Facts be known, open source
|
|
<BR>
|
|
projects are scattered all over the web... Tens of thousands of places besides
|
|
<BR>
|
|
sourceforge. However, sourceforge is probably the most high profile of all
|
|
<BR>
|
|
the repositories. Considering all real open source developers keep a copy of
|
|
<BR>
|
|
their work such an attack would slow the process (And piss people off...), but I
|
|
<BR>
|
|
seriously doubt anything major would be lost. Plus, I bet sourceforge archives
|
|
<BR>
|
|
at least twice daily. Also, I would not want to be the person that crashed sourceforge...
|
|
<BR>
|
|
You would have some of the brightest minds on the web after you... Prison would be
|
|
<BR>
|
|
an inevitiable reality. Your next roommate would be some nasty dude named
|
|
<BR>
|
|
"Bubba" who is looking for some affection... And he finds you attactive.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>However, What does sourceforge offer us at this point anyway...?... I see no
|
|
<BR>
|
|
advantage.
