I quite honestly don't see a problem with it. Anyone could always program a virus to attack a certain computer. Outside attackers need nothing more than whois to find MSU's entire address space, and some reverse DNS to figure out what's where. I believe this information posted publicly provides a much greater resource for those with good intensions than it does for those without. Taking the information off the web really wouldn't hide any of it from someone intent on finding it. -Russell Andrew wrote: > Is it really a good idea to list all of the IP address, host files, and the > entire MSU network layout on a public website (http://network.msu.edu/)? > With the virus going around, anyone could program a virus to attack a > certain computer.
