Humorix: Linux Distro To Include Pre-Installed Security Holes: "Proactive Synergy Paradigm, the Linux distro targeted at Pointy Haired Bosses, will now include built-in security flaws to better compete with Microsoft programs.
'The sheer popularity of Windows, Outlook, and IIS clearly shows that people demand security holes large enough to drive a truck through,' said Mr. Bert Dill, the chief marketing directory at P.S.P. Inc. 'We're going to do our best to offer what the consumer wants. Just as Microsoft stole ideas from Apple during the 1980's, we're stealing ideas from Microsoft today.'
Future releases of Proactive Synergy Linux will feature 'LookOut! 1.0', a mail reader that automatically executes (with root privileges) e-mail attachments coded in Perl, JavaScript, shell script, Python, and Visual Basic.
'Hey, if it works for Microsoft, it can work for us,' boasted Mr. Dill. 'Now PHBs won't have to stick with Windows in order to have their confidential files secretly emailed to their colleagues by a worm. Better yet, this capability allows viruses to automagically delete unnecessary files to save disk space without wasting the PHB's valuable attention span.'
Proactive Linux will also include 'Unlocked Door 2.0', a web server that includes support for 'telnet-over-http'. The default installation allows users to issue commands (with root privileges, of course) remotely from their web browser by typing in an URL like this:
http://domain.com/bin/bash?command+to+execute "
