[Random-bits] The D.I.R.T. product is real, but not full featured, say hackers

[James Love]

I am informed by Ted Bridis that the D.I.R.T. software is a real
product, but considered inferior to BackOrifice 2000, by hackers,
because of a lack of "features," and because it can be detected.  

I'm thinking that the security issues for PCs is bigger than I had
imagined.  (Speaking as someone who's desktop Linux box was hacked a few
weeks ago).
