TC NEWS

New battles and free missions
05:09 - AD Marcin Szydlowski [pbmike@go2.pl]
Thanks to our XO we have new battletypes. So I've released following battles:
XvT-CAB #1 - Winner of Xunami Wings
XW-TC #1-3
Soon we should have BoP-ID and BoP-DB battles.


New Omega Commander
14:16 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Many congratulations go out to the new Squadron Commander of Omega, Colonel Sasquatch!

Internet Issues
04:53 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
There is currently a worm doing the rounds at the moment, which is impacting the performance of the internet around the world. The worm is designed to target known flaws in SQL Server, a database application produced by Microsoft. However, the worm scans so aggressively that it can actually affect the performance of your own internet experience. Those of you on broadband will probably be very likely targets and should look at blocking port 1434 on the UDP protocol if you have firewall functionality that supports specific settings. Otherwise, a general firewall such as McAfee Firewall or ZoneAlarm should do the trick. Those who do actually run SQL Server or MSDE (a desktop version of the server) should check they are patched as this is an exploit that has been known since July 2002.

A change in policy
04:17 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
Due to the amount of harassment I am getting on IRC from certain parties, I will no longer be conducting EH business over IRC. I am there to relax. If you contact me on IRC about EH business, I will ignore you. I will only be conducting EH business via email from now on.

New Training Board
11:35 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
We have a new Training Message board located here. Cadets are free to use this board to post any questions they may have about their training where I'm sure helpful members of the TC will respond.
