original intention of getting the RFC's online and becoming an

has evolved to become a RFC distribution site, linux news site
and a locally written technology news site (with bad grammer :))
with focus on Linux while also containing articles about anything

In the year 2000, there was a wide outbreak of the QAZ virus/trojan. The trojan leaves allows remote control TCP port 7597. Rumor has it that a Microsoft engineer disklike the performance cost of running anti-virus and disabled it. The engineer then got infected with QAZ. Somebody trolling on the Internet found the open port, remotely controlled the machine, and used it to log back into Microsoft and was able to steal some source code. From Hacking-Lexicon

At about that time, a new GUI library was released. It was called Qt and was developed by Troll Tech. It was not free, but it was an outstanding technical accomplishment in that it worked efficiently and cleanly on many different platforms. It was shunned by some factions of the Free software community because it was written in C++, [Which is not considered to be the standard development language by the Free Software Foundation because it is not completely portable and possibly for other reasons.]and was only free for noncommercial applications to link with. Nevertheless, advocates of Qt went ahead and began producing the outstanding KDE desktop project--a set of higher-level development libraries, a window manager, and many core applications that together make up the KDE Desktop. The licensing issues with Qt have relaxed somewhat, and it is now available under both the GPL and a proprietary license. From Rute-Users-Guide

Computer Algebra System Yet Another Computer Algebra System is a small and highly flexible computer algebra language. The syntax is very close to Mathematica. The distribution contains a small library of mathematical functions, but its real strength is in the language in which you can easily write your own symbolic manipulation algorithms.

WAD file editor for doom-style WADs Yadex is a Doom level (wad) editor for Unix systems running X, including Linux. It supports Doom alpha, Doom beta, Doom, Ultimate Doom, Final Doom, Doom II, Heretic and also, in a more or less limited way, Hexen and Strife. It is available under the terms of the GPL. Yadex is descended from DEU 5.21. Therefore, as you might expect, it&apos;s a rather low-level editor that requires you to take care of a lot of detail but on the flip side allows you to control very precisely what you are doing. In addition, it has many advanced functions that DEU didn&apos;t have, to make certain tedious tasks easy. From Debian 3.0r0 APT

Perl scripts to build rescue disk(s) to revive a system Yard is a suite of Perl scripts for creating custom boot/rescue disks. Using a compressed filesystem, it can put a standard kernel image plus about 2.4 meg of utilities on a single floppy. Yard is also useful for creating self-contained Linux-on-a-floppy systems. You specify a basic set of files and utilities for inclusion and Yard handles many of the details. Features: - File specs allow absolute and relative filenames, symbolic links, file replacements and full shell-style globbing. - Automatically determines necessary libraries and loaders. - Allows stripping of binaries and libraries during copying. - Automatically regenerates ld.so.cache - Checks for broken symlinks - Checks /etc/{fstab,inittab,termcap,pam.conf} for common errors and inconsistencies. - Checks user directories and files mentioned in /etc/passwd - Checks command files (eg, rc.local and .login) and scripts for missing binaries and command interpreters. - Automatically performs filesystem compression and copying. - Can be used with or without LILO. - Can make single or double disk sets. - Extensive checking of user choices and execution errors.

A small freeware Forth environment in ANSI C. yForth? is an interestingly small implementation of Forth for Linux. It suffers several deficiencies. For general Forth programming or learning under Linux, yForth? is not the best choice. From the author&apos;s README: yForth? is a Forth environment written entirely in ANSI C, making it extremely portable. The first thing I want to tell you about yForth? is that it seems a joke compared to other systems such as gForth or PFE. Nevertheless, you could find yForth? nice, in which case you&apos;re invited to explore yForth? It&apos;s yours, you can make anything you want with it. If you want an explanation of the words provided by yForth? please refer to the draft of ANS Forth or something equivalent. The Net will help you. Do not expect the prompt &quot;ok&quot; to come up when you run yForth?, the standard says that &quot;ok&quot; shall be printed AFTER every successful command execution... From Debian 3.0r0 APT

Current converters are for HTML, ms, man, LaTeX SGML and texinfo, plus a poor-man&apos;s text converter. Main document types are &quot;article&quot;, &quot;report&quot;, &quot;book&quot; and &quot;manpage&quot;. The Yodl document language is designed to be easy to use and extensible.

Superficially, yorick code resembles C code, but yorick variables are never explicitly declared and have a dynamic scoping similar to many Lisp dialects. The yorick language is designed to be typed interactively at a keyboard, as well as stored in files for later use. This package includes an emacs-based development environment, which you can launch by typing M-x yorick in emacs. ftp://ftp-icf.llnl.gov/pub/Yorick/doc/index.html From Debian 3.0r0 APT

The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system that provides network information (login names, passwords, home directories, group information) to all of the machines on a network. NIS can allow users to log in on any machine on the network, as long as the machine has the NIS client programs running and the user&apos;s password is recorded in the NIS passwd database. NIS was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages(YP). This NIS implementation is based on FreeBSD&apos;s YP and is a special port for glibc 2.x and libc versions 5.4.21 and later. This package only provides the NIS client programs. In order to use the clients, you need to have an NIS server running on your network. An NIS server is provided in the ypserv package. Install the yp-tools package if you need NIS client programs for machines on your network. You will also need to install the ypbind package on every machine running NIS client programs. If you need an NIS server, you need to install the ypserv package on one machine on the network. From Redhat 8.0 RPM

A GPL&#39;d, BGP/OSPF/RIP capable routing daemon GNU Zebra is free software (distributed under the GNU Generic Public License) which manages TCP/IP based routing protocols. It supports BGP 4, BGP4+, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, RIPv1, RIPv2, and RIPng as well as the IPv6 versions of these. Zebra uses threading if the kernel supports it, but can also run on kernels that do not support threading. Zebra is more than a routed replacement, it can be used as a Route Server and a Route Reflector. Zebra is unique in design in that it has a process for each protocol. From Debian 3.0r0 APT

zombie

<para>
Computers that are &#39;owned&#39; by hackers for the purpose of directing them against other victims. A typical example would be a DDoS attack, where the zombie machine are directed to flood a victim. The legitimate users of the zombies may not be aware that their computer has been controlled by the hacker. If the computer is used to launch a damaging attack, the legitimate user may be investigated or held legally responsible. Controversy: Dave Dittrich, the person who has done the most research into DDoS zombies, hates the word &#34;zombie&#34;. From Hacking-Lexicon
