Security expert Steve Gibson released two programs this weekend to the
public. SocketToMe checks whether or not you have Raw Socket Support in
your Windows operating system, and if so, to what degree. SocketLock can
be installed onto Windows 2000 and/or Windows XP beta to remove Raw
Socket Support for ALL USERS while letting background/system processes
still be able to use Raw Socket functionality. In my opinion, all world
hosters should download and use SocketLock if hosting on a Windows 2000
or Windows XP beta system without the need for Raw Socket support. More
information about the programs and the issue of Full Raw Socket support
can be found at http://grc.com/dos/SocketToMe.htm.

Yah but the unfortunate fact of the matter is, only the people who are
clueless need this and they don't go to Gibson's site. :) Well, we have
some clueless people here I guess but not nearly as clueless as the ones I
am talkinabout hehe.
