From: kristian.hermansen on 20 Jun 2005 14:43 I am a security researcher looking for older Solaris 8 and 9 CDs. Calling Sun and trying to order them, I was told that they would not sell me any of their "retired" versions of software. Apparantly, they retired the Solaris 8 (2/00) original CD release in May of last year. The same is true of the original Solaris 9 (5/02) release CD. I have searched eBay, Amazon, and many websites which claim to have them online -- but turn out to be bogus when I call them up to verify. I am looking to purchase the two Solaris releases mentioned above on CD or in a media kit (new or used, doesn't matter), or download the ISOs directly. Can anyone point me to a place where I can find these Solaris releases? You will be greatly rewarded, because I have a few guys that say they *might* be able to get them for me in a few weeks time, and at an exhorbitant amount! Name your prices and shoot me some emails, or point me to the ISOs (I already own them). Much appreciated, thanks :-) Kristian Hermansen

I have Is there a reason why more recent updates of those OSes won't do? -- Rich Teer, SCNA, SCSA, OpenSolaris CAB member President, Rite Online Inc.

From: kristian.hermansen on 20 Jun 2005 15:36 Yes -- the reason why I don't want the more updated versions is because they are already patched! I want the vulnerabilities to be wide open in the system :-) I am currently working on an Intrusion Prevention System that will detect incoming security threats "on the fly", and stop them, even if your system is vulnerable and unpatched. I want to see if the IPS will stop known exploits against some unpatched Solaris services... Kristian Hermansen

Rich and Michael, feel free to chime in. As usual, I'm clueless. Bill

With Solaris 8, I think the situatrion is simple: it came with a $0 RTU for <= 8 CPUs. S9 wasn't so generous--it didn't come with a free RTU, IIRC. So, S8 should be safe, S9 less so. But are Sun's lawyers REALLY gonna chase the OP for the license fee? I don't think so... -- Rich Teer, SCNA, SCSA, OpenSolaris CAB member President, Rite Online Inc.
