The [H]omer award for COLA Advocate of the Week:
alt <spamtrap@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
(Discussing one of the many ways that GNU/Linux defeats hackers)
.----
| There was an article I read about a LAMP system being hacked
| through a PHP exploit. SELinux was enabled on the machine and they
| had server logs indicating that the hacker spent a long time
| (something like an hour or two) attempting in vain to get his
| rootscript to run.
|
| The hack didn't succeed because Apache didn't have permissions to
| execute scripts in the SELinux ruleset.

and hence not included in the stats.
Other attention seeking posters may not appear as well.
[2]: Troll feeder %'age is (troll feeding posts / total posts) * 100
[3]: The poster 'quality' stats is based on:
a) quoting: 100 - %'age quoted
b) cross-posting: 100 - %'age cross-posted
c) number of direct followups posters articles get
d) troll feeding: 100 - 2.0 * %'age troll followups
e) 75 deducted for known trolls
f) for the humour impaired the quotes around 'quality'
are intended to convey they are not to be taken too
seriously :-)
