Where was this guy during code red? Within a very short time (maybe 5-10 mins) of setting up my apache server some code red IIS box was trying to hack it.
Maybe he got bit confused when reading the stats for code red compared to Apache /OpenSS? . I wonder where he gets his paycheck.... "Obviously, the label of poster child for security glitches moved from Microsoft to the shoulders of open source and Linux product suppliers during 2002" Even the CIA has build a highly secure custom distro/kernel! And they didnt choose Linux over other OSs linux because it is the "poster child for security glitches". Sure Linux has security holes but its not quite as bad as this article makes it out to be. Linux wasnt the only OS mention in the article... "Apple's products are now just as vulnerable, now that it is fielding an operating system with embedded Internet protocols and Unix utilities," the Aberdeen reported added. " And if I build (or ripped of BSD) a (kinda) brand new OS (eg OSX) then it would have more than 12 security holes. - Paul On Sunday 17 November 2002 06:21 pm, Zane Gilmore wrote: > REPORT SAYS LINUX HAS MORE SECURITY FLAWS THAN WINDOWS > > http://www.newsfactor.com/perl/story/19996.html
