A friend of mine pointed me to a new The Register article covering the attack on the root-server system. The article is based on an ICANN 'fact sheet' that tries to give information regarding the attack. Personally I believe that the usefulness of releasing such a paper is doubtful. I fear that it mostly serves the purpose of the attackers by gaining more hype and press-coverage.
But let's ignore the merits of the fact sheet for a while and instead read the article. It's highly amusing reading, claiming among other things that the root-servers run on a variety of OSes that seems to include Windows(!)and OS/2(!). I have no idea how The Register clears articles for publication, but this one certainly leaves some to wish for, and underlines the point I made in an earlier post that the lack of commentary from the first hand source, i.e the root-server operators, is striking. It is certainly true that the root-servers run on a variety of OSes but to the best of my knowledge, neither of them run on either of NetWare or OS/2 (is either of those still supported by the vendors?).
Oh well...
