 | View Full Version : heads up...iis6.0! m00ds 08-02-2002, 04:16 PM Heads up people, looks like microsoft HAS already deployed their new web server into production, a.k.a. IIS6.0 http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=www.microsoft.com I heard about this on another forum. This should generate some interest :D MTG 08-02-2002, 05:41 PM unknown OS :confused: :confused: :confused: MGCJerry 08-02-2002, 05:53 PM Originally posted by MTG unknown OS :confused: :confused: :confused: I'm willing to bet is a Windows based machine... Unless they have made a unique version of iis for their use and are running it on a *nix system... :eek: Personally, I've grown quite fond of Apache... Dexter 08-02-2002, 06:08 PM it's probabbly the new .net stuff... JTY 08-02-2002, 06:32 PM The 'unknown' is caused by the massive amount firewalling, and load balancing to keep their servers up. AL-Benjamin 08-02-2002, 06:34 PM i read somewhere, i think it was computer weekly or something along those lines, that they run a heavily moded version of win 2000 as they get hacked so often. that may be why it comes up unknown. or what JTY said. eithers good. Rochen 08-02-2002, 06:36 PM Microsoft run a mixture of systems on microsoft.com and partner sites, however it is all 100% Microsoft. They use Compaq Proliant and Dell PowerEdge Servers. Currently they are running Windows .NET with IIS 6.0 and Windows 2000 Advanced Server with IIS 5.0 in clusters. They did the same thing when Windows 2000 went into beta testing, they ran part of the network on NT4 and part on Win2k beta. However, one point I should make here, when they run beta software they have the Windows development team standing by encase anything goes wrong. So it's not like just anyone beta testing. It is also good as it helps iron out most of the bugs before final release. They don't however run their whole network on .NET/IIS 6.0. They have actually been using IIS 6.0 on production servers since the fall of 2001, so it's nothing new ;) AL-Benjamin 08-02-2002, 06:37 PM is there anything you don't know rochen?

Where babies come from ;) :eek: Originally posted by The Prohacker Yeah, looks like hotmail finally moved off the qmail servers :D Yeah, I used to have one of the old accounts on there, the SPAM has gone up and up ever since my account got moved :angry: :D The Laughing Cow 08-02-2002, 08:01 PM Man the amount of hotmail spam is untrue. I wanna know how they get your address Rochen 08-02-2002, 08:03 PM Originally posted by The Laughing Cow Man the amount of hotmail spam is untrue. I wanna know how they get your address I know, I was just thinking the same because I am not listed and never have been listed in the hotmail or any directory. I am also not subscribed to any of the MSN Newsletters. I don't use hotmail that much, so it doesn't really bother me. Maybe Bill has been selling the addresses in bulk on the side for a few billion :D The Prohacker 08-02-2002, 08:03 PM Originally posted by The Laughing Cow Man the amount of hotmail spam is untrue.

That's it....

That's it.... I remember when they were testing Win2k against hackers. They had a full firewall, blocking everything. Rochen 08-02-2002, 08:23 PM What they did for win2k was, they put up a server on the internet and tolled people to try and hack it and they gave prizes out for those who found a bug in the OS security, I wonder if they will do the same with .NET :) The Prohacker 08-02-2002, 08:27 PM Originally posted by rochen What they did for win2k was, they put up a server on the internet and tolled people to try and hack it and they gave prizes out for those who found a bug in the OS security, I wonder if they will do the same with .NET :) They must have given loads of prizes away :D Rochen 08-02-2002, 08:28 PM Originally posted by The Prohacker They must have given loads of prizes away :D I think it was all stuff like free copies of Win2k pro etc. but yeah, it must have taken a lot of CDs :D RH Robert 08-02-2002, 11:51 PM They were also called to task for that by the government for promoting hacking... m00ds 08-03-2002, 01:19 AM whatever it is..seems like they're ready enough to lauch iis6 pretty soon otherwise they would not have put it up especially on the microsoft.com domain. i bet there's thousands of people banging those servers everyday waiting for it to crumble and fall :D. i for one would be pleased if it did! :D |
