Steve Gibson Releases SocketToMe & SocketLock (General Discussion)
Steve Gibson Releases SocketToMe & SocketLock // General DiscussionbuilderzAug 12, 2001, 12:30pm
Security expert Steve Gibson released two programs this weekend to the
public. SocketToMe checks whether or not you have Raw Socket Support in your Windows operating system, and if so, to what degree. SocketLock can be installed onto Windows 2000 and/or Windows XP beta to remove Raw Socket Support for ALL USERS while letting background/system processes still be able to use Raw Socket functionality. In my opinion, all world hosters should download and use SocketLock if hosting on a Windows 2000 or Windows XP beta system without the need for Raw Socket support. More information about the programs and the issue of Full Raw Socket support can be found at http://grc.com/dos/SocketToMe.htm.

Yah but the unfortunate fact of the matter is, only the people who are
clueless need this and they don't go to Gibson's site. :) Well, we have some clueless people here I guess but not nearly as clueless as the ones I am talkinabout hehe.
