  • Leopard most likely on track for October release

    According to ThinkSecret, Leopard is still on track for its delayed release estimate of October.

    This gives Apple a matter of a few weeks to declare a Gold Master, produce a significant number of copies and get them to retail stores. It’s a time crunch for sure.

    I don’t remember the exact timeline of things with the release of Tiger, but if memory serves me correctly Apple had atleast a month or two of pre-ordering Tiger on their site…which hasn’t been the case of Leopard. Maybe Apple will be ditching the pre-order and just surprising us one morning with Leopard being available.

    Only time will tell.

  • A chink in the AirPort armor?

    Is it possible the AirPort Extreme base station isn’t catching all the malicious traffic bound for my home network? I just opened Console to check on an issue I was having with lookupd, but I was distracted when the ipfw.log firewall log file popped up with quite a lot of blocked attempts.

    How many? Try 7831 over a two-hour span. Clearly a distributed denial-of-service (dDOS) attack, all 7800+ of these log entries were bound for ports 32787, 32788, and 32789, from 713 different source IP addresses. Thankfully, the Mac OS X software firewall denied all those requests. But it leads me to wonder: Why did the AEBS let them through anyway?

    I checked my port forwarding rules, and there’s nothing there that would specifically allow TCP traffic through on these ports. I have exactly one port range forwarded and it’s thousands away from these three ports, which are used, the best I can uncover, for “sometimes an RPC port”.

    Can anyone with a stronger networking background help me out here? Is this a vulnerability in the AirPort Extreme, or should those ports be open for a reason that has no clear documentation?
