A colleague forwarded this URL to me today. The article talks about DARPA funding a project to better ensure Open Source software gets audited for security exposures. One _hilarious_ statement though is this: "Software security holes caused by a lack of proper review don't plague just the open-source world."
And if that weren't funny enough, the writer immediately follows that with this: "Last month, after a memo from Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates directing the software giant's programmers to make security the No. 1 priority, top execs said the company would spend three to four weeks training its developers in secure coding techniques and auditing existing code." When I stop laughing so hard, I think I might start to cry. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/cn/20020206/tc_cn/linux_secur ity_auditing_to_get_a_boost Mark Post
