[ale] AirForce base cracker attempt

[Dow Hurst]

If anyone finds out exactly what the methods used in this attack, I'd be
interested.  My interest is the OSes attacked, methodology, time frame,
and whatever else.  Or if you know how to locate an article, I'd
appreciate that.  Thanks,
Dow

Computer crackers attempted to access Air Force base. On 22 March,
hackers
operating outside the US made 125,000 attempts to enter the computer
network
at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, officials said. Public affairs
director
Lt. Col. Ed Worley called it "a concerted and directed attack, and one
of
the most orchestrated we've seen in about the last six months, and by
'we' I
mean the Air Force."  The base, located east of Dayton, Ohio, is home to
the
Air Force Materiel Command headquarters, the National Air Intelligence
Center, research laboratories, and the program management offices for
major
weapon systems.  The base also houses one of the government's biggest
supercomputer centers, the Major Shared Resource Center.  (Associated
