It's like Peter Gutmann said: "A great many of today’s security
technologies are “secure” only because no-one has ever bothered
attacking them."
Security failures like this exist in many other things: You give up a
telephone service, someone acquires your old number, people use your
old phone number to exploit you. Likewise with email addresses. I've
kept old email addresses just to stop someone else misusing them.
I have an account on a community network that was the first public
access to internet where I live. My extended family includes kids, and
I have noticed increases in smap messages (currently running around 100
per day) when kids get internet access and also times when corresponding
with friends and relatives after someone dies.
Hi George,
How do you identify smap traffic? It's not listed in /etc/services and
I can't find an assigned port number on the intertube ( actually, not
much of anything except it being a way to pass SMS between computers and
that was cursory ).
:m
