What percentage of web servers are Linux-based?

This is difficult to determine. Judging solely from server hardware sales, Linux has only about 30% of the market. However, most high level sites run Linux, and it seems likely that Linux has a much higher market share than is indicated. More importantly, since the majority of Linux distributions are available freely, a large portion of Linux servers are not accounted for in many market share statistics because these stastics are approximated based on license sales. Therefore the very large number of Linux servers that are running on freely distributed licenses are not included in these calculations.

What happened to thesmartass. info?

I don't know! When i went to my computer this morning, i trying going on the site, but it took forever to load and when it finally loaded bing.com came up. It's like it was deleted or it's possible that they're making a new website for it. I just went to a website and it said that everyone's having problems connecting to thesmartass.info so it hasn't been deleted (thank god) so i imagine the site creators are doing everything they can to fix this problem. so in the meantime download emulators or just look for another website. for example if you go to google.ca and type in something like pokemon yellow online there will be at least 1 site where you can play it online without downloading anything

Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 is an editor, and not a host. Even if when you preview your pages it creates a localhost with the port 49263 to view server side pages, it closes the port when you close the application.

The IT department reported that the web server is receiving an abnormally high number of web page requests from different locations simultaneously Which attack characterizes this type of situation?

Denial of Service attack AKA DDoS

This is where an attacker makes multiple connection attempts to a service (not just the webservice) on a netowrk machine. The connection attempt is made however the attackers program does not reply to the ACK response from the server. This causes the process of the TCPIP disconnect to start after 9 TCP retries the connection is terminated.

The problem with this is that there is a time delay between the connection SYNC-ronise frame and the Disconnect frame which hangs a socket for that time. Since the server will have a maximum number of Sockets available at any one time multiple connection requests like this fill them up effectively clogging the server. Back a few years on a badly written TCPIP stacks the system used to keep generating sockets until it ran out of memory and/or the server faulted and crashed.

Since the server cannot tell a legitamate connection from a fake one it treats them the same therefore this attack type is not preventable.

An HTML web page can not be password protected on its own. This is a task better suited for a language such as PHP when combined with HTML forms.

Apparently, the good folks at YoVille have neglected to respect proxy and firewall configurations within their application. Allowing port 9339 outbound is required for this program to connect to it's servers. We are running DansGuardian as an internet content filter/proxy server. YoVille would not continue past 74% until I allowed port 9339 unrestricted outbound access.
