About this capture

Organization: Archive Team

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.

The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.

This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.

Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.

The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.

There is a dashboard running for the archivebot process at http://www.archivebot.com.

Synopsis: Low: hypervkvpd security and bug fix update Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:0807-1 Issue Date: 2013-05-09 CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-5532 -- A denial of service flaw was found in the way hypervkvpd processed certain Netlink messages. A local, unprivileged user in a guest (running on Microsoft Hyper-V) could send a Netlink message that, when processed, would cause the guest's hypervkvpd daemon to exit. (CVE-2012-5532) This update also fixes the following bug: * The hypervkvpd daemon did not close the file descriptors for pool files when they were updated. This could eventually lead to hypervkvpd crashing with a "KVP: Failed to open file, pool: 1" error after consuming all available file descriptors. With this update, the file descriptors are closed, correcting this issue. After installing the update, it is recommended to reboot all guest machines. -- SL5 x86_64 hypervkvpd-0-0.7.el5_9.3.x86_64.rpm hypervkvpd-debuginfo-0-0.7.el5_9.3.x86_64.rpm i386 hypervkvpd-0-0.7.el5_9.3.i686.rpm hypervkvpd-debuginfo-0-0.7.el5_9.3.i686.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
