security of PHP. Now, three years later, SektionEins GmbH will
continue in the same spirit and organize the Month of PHP Security.
The intention of the Month of PHP Security is to gather the best
research and articles about PHP security topics from the security
community and share them with the rest of the world. This time the goal
is not only to improve the security of PHP itself and applications
directly by fixing security bugs, but also to help PHP developers
around the world to write better and more secure PHP applications.
The Month of PHP Security will be held in May 2010 by SektionEins

>> I could only imagine. The other problem is that many people seem to think I'm saying something against the Chinese *people* themselves, based on the "f* you round-eye* messages I've received (and they call ME racist). They don't seem to get the clear distinction (to me) between the Chinese people and China's network. It's the machines I'm concerned with the attacks coming from those machine. Just because the machine is sourced in China doesn't mean the attacker is - so I have to do the best I can to defend against the machines. However, that unfortunately comes across to those who choose not to think it through as me saying something against the Chinese themselves.

The Chinese network is indeed very infected, which in turn causes the
rest of the world great computerized harm. Nobody disputes this.
The solution of blocking China, however, is one which harms both people
outside of China, as well as those inside of China. Therefore, it
translates into an attack on them.
Vendor Response:
"The backburner package is intended to be used in a closed network
i.e. one that does not have routing between its hosts and the rest
of the world. If a customer decides that he cannot do without
Internet connectivity, he should take the appropriate measures to
limit traffic on its subnet so that machines make use of a proxy
to access the Internet, to the very least.
The cmdjob utility is well documented in the Backburner 2007.1
