* Due to an increase in the number of Bloodhound.Exploit.18 events being reported, the Deep-Sight Threat Analyst Team is increasing the ThreatCon from Level 1 to Level 2. As of November 8, 2004, Symantec AntiVirus detects exploitation of the Microsoft Internet Explorer Malformed IFRAME Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (BID 11515) as Bloodhound.Exploit.18.
The increase indicates a notable rise in activity associated with this unpatched vulnerability. Additional information about the resulting system associated with the increase in Bloodhound.Exploit.18 events is available in the November 24, 2004 Daily Report.
As the Microsoft Internet Explorer Malformed IFRAME Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability is currently unpatched, The Deep-Sight Threat Analyst Team recommends that administrators filter outgoing traffic to the central registration system at 218.65.86.24.
Additionally, blocking outbound access to the following destinations, which are related to the systems exploiting the IFrame vulnerability is highly recommended.

Politics
Moving Forward ... (draft)
I think Bush has a few key issues he needs to address, especially given the historic chance he has in that we are controlling 2 (all 3?) branches of the government (in approximate order of importance and with a quick punch-list of my opinions thereof) ):
0) National Security - continued increase in inspection of cargo shipping, tighter border controls, increased inter-agency communication, tighter Visa control, better 'bio-outbreak' prevention/monitoring/response.
0a) Iraq, N. Korea and Sudan - Yes, they all fit into the Natl Security category as well ...
0b) Afghanistan - We must continue supporting the elected government there, and work with them to resolve their issues (e.g. - Terrorists, Opium, etc.)
1) Iraq - everyone agrees (I hope!) that we need to 'win'; i.e. - that we need to be successful in getting Iraq's elected government in place and stable and that the insurgents need to be dealt with swiftly and harshly! Once the elections occur we need to work with them to ensure their survivability, and then (and only then) can we begin working on bringing our troops home!
2) Healthcare - It costs too much. Hopefully the President's plan is implemented and successful. Note that socialized medicine = Bad.
2a) Prescription Drugs - Ditto. Although, I am not too sure about the current plan. And, if Canada can guarantee the safety of their products (to atleast the levels we have now in the US) importing of these drugs should be legal ... but not until those quality/safety concerns are addressed should this be considered. Think Free Trade!
3) Federal Spending / Deficit - Being a Conservative, I am pro-small government and pro-fiscal responsibility, without negatively impacting National Security or other critical agencies/spending - Other government agencies should prepare, IMHO, to be reviewed/hammered (Agriculture, Education, Energy ... ). Oh yeah - Think Free Trade!
4) Oil / Alternative Energy - Take a stronger stance with/against OPEC in negotiations, more drilling stateside, build more processing facilities, encourage low-consumption (e.g. - tax cuts for efficient cars, more efficient power production, etc.), encourage alternative electricity generation methods (Nuclear, Wind, Solar, Hydro, Geo ... PS - Nuclear is good and WRT the Nuclear Waste issue think Yucca Mountain + GeoMelting) ... these alternative energy sources would also help with the environment :)
5) Iran - Honestly, I don't know the answer here! But we need to work diplomatically to prevent a Nuclear Iran from coming into existence.
6) N. Korea - the Tri Commission is the only way to go!
7) Sudan - I know this is a controversial statement, but genocide is bad. Let's see if the UN can make itself relevant in the world, or if it will fail yet again.
8) Taxes - lower = good; flat = good ... low & flat = GREAT. With the caveat of #3 above :). Also, the AMT is bad and should be repealed, as should so-called Corporate Welfare (as should most (all?) of the bail-out packages ... $B wasted!) ... note that "Corporate Welfare != Corporate Tax Cuts", the cuts are stimulus :)
9) Broadband / Telcom - Deregulation = good!
10) Social Security - Privatization good!
11) Conservative Activism - Maintain all of the grass-roots Conservative infrastructure that was built-out / expanded this election cycle! Be more forthcoming with information, details, opinions, etc - KEEP US INFORMED! Get on TV! ... see #12 for what will happen if you don't!
12) Hillary - Don't let Hillary Clinton get slip into the Presidency in 2008! I am convinced she will be running, and her Presidency scares me more than her husband's did or Kerry's would have! (BTW - Not because she is a woman, rather because she is a very liberal representative ... although I suspect she will attempt to 'transform' herself into a more moderate candidate in the next four years, don't fall for it!)
13) Build Bridges - Having said what I did about Hillary, it is still important to work together with the 'other' party to be successful.
14) Election reform / modernization - it is embarrassing that the US, bastion of Democracy, still uses some very outdated polling practices. Touch screens, with printed receipts of the vote cast, are not that hard to come up with!

Other Issues (in no particular order and with a quick punch-list of my opinions thereof) ):
* Abortion - BAD, especially partial-birth abortions!
* Welfare - should be nothing more that a short-term safety net, routinely monitored!
* Foreign Policy (in general) - be mostly hands-off, reduce foreign aid drastically, re-allocate/deploy our military to fight our enemies, not other nations' enemies. And, again - Think Free Trade!
* Science & Technology, in General - DARPA, NIST, etc. types of projects are great for us as a nation!
** Stem cell Research, specifically - In general, GREAT. However, Embryonic Stem Cell Research (ESCR) is bad unless you can dissociate this the abortion issue!
** Space Exploration, specifically - Good, furthers technological advancement and pushes our boundaries as a race!
* Firearms Ownership - responsible ownership of reasonable weapons = good. True 'Assault Rifles' (fully auto, etc.) are already banned (not the AWB that just expired, that was a total waste ... just enforce the ALREADY EXISTING LAWS)

And via email:
AP and UPI reported that the French Government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "run" to "hide." The only two higher levels in France are "surrender" and "collaborate." The raise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed one of France's white flag factories, disabling their military.
... thanks Aaron!

Now that the election is over (I know, officially OH is still counting - but Kerry has conceded and the odds are so very slim on Kerry pulling this one out) ... Some post-election thoughts, on the election:
Thank You Michael Moore, George Soros, MoveOn, Bruce Springstein, Cameron Diaz, Ashton Kucher, Al Franken, Dixie Chicks, Terry McAuliffe, Dan Ra^ther, P Diddy, Eminem, et al - you have truly motivated the Conservative base. I will admit that as recently as (just over) a year ago I was only partially informed on the issues - sure, I knew what the issues were and knew the surface of the candidates' stances ... but I could not hold more than a lightweight conversation on the topics and was much more reserved in sharing these thoughts. It was seeing the radical left's attacks that made me both investigate the reasons for my beliefs and (eventually) made me feel the need to share these with others. During the investigative process, I found very little that made me reconsider my beliefs - but lots that confirmed that I had made the right (no pun intended) choice(s). With Bush almost assuredly re-elected I hope that my conclusions prove true and that Bush can live up to my(our) expectations.

I would also like to thank John Kerry - first, for conceding in a relatively timely fashion ... he could have officially drawn this out to be long and painful but instead did the honorable thing. Secondly, for not being more politically adept / not being more willing to make a resolute decision; otherwise I think he would have been able to pull this off ... our country would have survived, but IMHO he had the wrong answers, at the wrong time, for the wrong country :).

Election:
* BUSH WINS!
*... and Daschle is out!!
*... and GOP holds onto Congress too!

Some thoughts from the net:
After the election results are in, I promise to:
: Support the President, even if I didn't vote for him.
: Criticize the President, even if I did vote for him.
: Uphold standards of civilized discourse in blogs and in media while pushing both to be better.
: Unite as a nation, putting country over party, even as we work together to make America better.

Some other thoughts from the net:
I hereby pledge that after the election is called, I will run naked through the streets, smeared with war paint, stinking of Jack Daniels and screaming obscenities at my neighbors.
I will do this even if my candidate wins because drunken, naked cursing is fun no matter who the president is.

... I can agree with both of those 'pledges'! Let me also say that if Bush does lose (which I don't believe will happen, and truly hope not) my only remaining hope will be that it is a wake-up call to the Republican party - get back to the Conservative roots you came from! Less spending, smaller government, etc.

... and Prayers/best wishes to/for Dani!
