Old Solaris 8/9 ISO images 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

| | Sat, 08 Dec 2007 02:59:52 GMT | 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

Looking in my downloads/images bin, I see:
s8_sparc_02.04
s9_sparc_u2
s8_x86_02.02
s9_x86_u2
s9_x86_u5
Hypothetically supposing I wanted to toss the zips on a couple of
DVDs and _give_ them to you, does either one of us get in trouble
re RTU issues?
Rich and Michael, feel free to chime in. As usual, I'm clueless.

| | Sat, 08 Dec 2007 06:21:41 GMT | 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...

| | Sat, 08 Dec 2007 06:30:03 GMT | Rich, I believe that the licensing policy for s8 was changed AGAIN when
s9 was released.

| | Sat, 08 Dec 2007 06:43:45 GMT | Furthermore, if I remember correctly (and I may not here), S9 was free for
educational or developmental use, which this certainly qualifies for in
my mind.

| | Sat, 08 Dec 2007 06:47:43 GMT | Well, licenses have already been purchased for the SunBlade 150s that these will be running on. I just have more updated releases, which is normally a good thing. In this case, it is not. I already have Solaris 8 (SPARC - 6/01) and Solaris 9 (SPARC - 12/02). I really need the original releases of Solaris 8 (SPARC - 2/00) and Solaris 9 (SPARC - 5/02). I will check some local tech book and software shops, but things don't look good when the original issuer of the software makes it unavailable :-( On the Microsoft side of things, not that I like them very much, at
least they offer the MSDN subscription which allows downloading of
ANYTHING ever made by M$. I mean, I can even get Window 3.1 if I want
or any patch level of current Operating Systems. I don't think that
Sun offers the same thing. At least it would have been nice to dump
the ISOs on their public FTP before running the old releases into the
ground...

those DVDs under my beer glass this evening :)
Digging further, I find a Solaris 8 SPARC box containing a full set
of CDs labelled 'February 2000, Revision A'. Is 'A' early enough
or do you need Rev Null?
I may have some other SPARC CDs stuffed between the Quark and Positron
at the office. I'll take a look tomorrow.

| | Sat, 08 Dec 2007 07:30:12 GMT | Bill, that would be awesome! Yes, rev A is fine! If you happen to locate the Solaris 9 5/02 release as well -- I won't know what to say :-) Let me know how much you want for the Solaris 8 release and, if you locate Solaris 9, that one too. They would be shipping out to Massachusetts...thanks so much! Kristian Hermansen

check on Tuesday.
Send me a private email and we can discuss the details.

for the SunBlade 150. (You might be able to run older, but definitely
not as far back as 2/00 - you couldn't even run the older Sun Blade
100's on anything before Solaris 8 10/00 - the drivers simply weren't
there yet.)

| | Sat, 08 Dec 2007 09:37:57 GMT | I ran the 6/01 release with no issues at all. However, we also have
older hardware to test older releases on. Do you have a link to where
it states that drivers are not available in particular releases? When
was the SunBlade 150 put on the market? The drivers must be in the
6/01 release, because it runs just fine...
