plenty of exploits this past while including an old and rehashed hotmail hack
only this time down out for yahoo mail. not sure why this caused so much fuss in
the kiddie world, most people recognised the similiarity between it and the
hotmail bug. if you want to look at more exploits than is posted here check out:

Current Issue now available from the site (#12) along with all back-issues


[c d l n i s h u t s d o w n]
alot of you guys will have heard of cdlni.box.sk (that would be my site[cd]).
ive decided to shut it down pretty much indefinitly. that doesnt mean that the
cdlni produced material will no londer be available however, just for a short
while. at the minute i am recoding a php/mySQL engine similar in style and
operation to what is affectionatly known as the edge engine (that would be what
powers most of the boxnetwork sites). this will form the basis of a new site
that i have not decided on a launch date for. as for the name, thats still in
the thinking process so suggestions are welcome.

the reasoning for shutting down this site was basically time commitments, the
neworder newsletter is a major chunk of my time and with starting university in
london and really just settling in, well you guys know how much that can kill
your time. zerostealth quit the site to dedicate his time to stealthway labs
which is yet to come about, so i wish him all the luck for that. it was great
working with the team and the feedback we got back was always good [well most
of the time]. hopefully thran and hellbound will be joining me on the new site
when its up, but you'll hear about it in the next issue if all goes well.

for my full statement of why the site was taken down as well as some other
points, visit cdlni.box.sk or www.cdlni.com where the index page has been
replaced.

[a n d . . .]
as a final note, if your interested in getting your articles published in this
newsletter or the new order website than please send them in to
webmaster@box.sk. articles should be directly related to either the boxnetwork
or a security topic.
