Nopes… I am not writing a review post on the new IIIT magazine… But yes, this post certainly concerns them.
It so happens that Ping! team asks for a mailing list to be created. But those who have read Kulbir Saini’s post can understand that this was certainly not a constant time algorithm. So the team enquires about the delay ( or so I heard ). Here is the response they got:
You can get the mailing list created. The request might have been denied because of the name ‘ping’ which is very similar to a very common command ‘ping’. The sysadmins might have been worried about security implications of the name.
Seriously, come again?! Sending a mail to ping@students can compromise IIIT’s network ?? I knew I should have taken a course on Network Security 
Eff you, my ITWS TAs, why didn’t you teach us such important concepts? I can only imagine the horror had the mailing list been created.
the mailing list was created right?
try Pinging! However if any system crashes anywhere in sever room, its entirely your responsibility.
I love this… I am glad that more people are now coming out and showing a _|_ to administration… we are not going to take any bullshit anymore… lets blog more frequently
and what I actually hear is… “lets show _I_ more frequently”
ping! Crash!
[...] System at IIIT. A few hours ago, Zenwalker posted an interesting story on his blog regarding Creation of a mailing list for the purpose of a magazine. These were few things about IQ level Now, lets study the ego levels of people at our place. [...]
wth! Are you serious? Aren’t those very people teaching itws these days?
umm… yeah… Juniors are getting a ‘crash’ course on security !
The mailing list has been created, so expect an impending disaster soon.
@Kulbir “Coming out” has so not a right meaning.
*terrified*
ha ha hah a
sir awesome aap hamaare ITWS TA rahe the, hame to kabhi nahi bataya gaya aisa kuch
Pls update us in case, the server crashes coz of pinging
The mailing list has been created ………… and so comes a dark day in the history of IIIT Network Security ………. Things will never be the same again
