“After visiting PullthePlug.com, I thought that our readers
would be interested in finding out more about the project. Brian
Gemberling, the project leader, has offered multiple Linux, BSD,
and CISCO systems to the public for exploration. A listing of
available systems with IP address and login information can be
found here. Brain invites everyone to use his systems to explore
the possibilities of current technology. We decided to interview
him because of the number of security concerns that he needed to
address. We hope that by reading this interview you have a better
understanding of how systems are compromised and how to prevent
future incidents.”
“LinuxSecurity: Could you explain to our
readers what the ‘pulltheplug.com’ project is about?”
“Gemberling: I can sum up the goal of
pulltheplug.com in one word: learning. That’s the entire purpose of
pulltheplug.com. I get a chance to learn, others get a chance to
learn, etc. I think and hope that it is a win-win situation for
everyone that comes and uses my network. The best part about
pulltheplug.com in my opinion is no holds barred learning. That’s
the best there is. As I state on my site, just about anything goes
except Denial of Service attacks and anything else that is more or
less useless and stupid.”
