Damn Vulnerable Linux 1.5 “Infectious Disease” was released and I have screens from a VirtualBox install. I didn’t see a changelog anywhere, but it looks like many things are updated. All that shows on their blog at the moment is this:

Release date: 01/26/2009. Fixed many bugs (e.g. wrong postgres path), added several tools.

Many interesting things you can learn by using this distro. Just a quick tip, you don’t need to run xconf before startx with Vbox… it’ll break.

This would be a great distro for anyone starting out or just wanting to brush up on any number of not so whitehat skills. Grab a torrent of Damn Vulnerable Linux 1.5 “Infectious Disease” here and be sure to seed for as long as you can when you’re done.

BBC.CO.UK is reporting the possibility that 3 major undersea cables have been severed, disrupting internet connectivity across the middle east.

It is thought the FLAG FEA, SMW4, and SMW3 lines, near the Alexandria cable station in Egypt, have all been cut. A fault was also reported on the GO submarine cable 130km off Sicily. Experts warned that it may be days before the fault is fixed and said the knock on effect could have serious repercussions on regional economies.

Looks like there will be a lot fewer website hijackings and a major drop in spam over the next few days :)
