Because even server administrators believe that open source and Linux software are impregnable by design
Wow. Which server administrators believe that? This article is such a troll looking for page-views. Has the author heard of system-hardening in open-source sysadmin circles? Intrusion-detection systems (e.g. tripwire), root-kit hunters (rkhunter, chkrootkit etc) etc etc? Roy, why would all that be necessary if sysadmins believed Linux was "impregnable by design?" -saidi- On Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 1:01 PM, Paul Roy <roykoikai@gmail.com> wrote:
You can even afford to say that!!!...the question every sys admin should be asking is how many more packages could be having a backdoor? How well do I trust my download sources? and how do I detect a pwned system...
