yep the tutorial about kld is very good, the kewl topics about backdoors
are as harmfull as building a trojaned kernel or tcpd wrapper. This article
is like one of the sekure.org "teaching" how to "break" ssh after
you got root on a given machine using ktrace. Not he's wrong but
even Mitnick had beter ideas on VMS macines about trojaning PGP 5 years
ago. Anyway while the article is very-very good it seems the
markting was more slashdot oriented than security itself, I can see
that "unknow user" at [EMAIL PROTECTED] removing freebsd from his servers
due freebsd being unsecure.
I think articles like this one should be part of FBSD documentation
not only as a digest but also with an url to the original paper, we
had other good papers on *BSD internals in phrack and other uground
publications that never got to www.freebsd.org
