Siem Architecture Hero Esm H350
Price Tag 1threat detection scalability

Building a SIEM is easier than scaling one. Most open-source deployments start as a simple "all-in-one" server. It is easy to set up, but that design rarely survives the transition from a lab to a production workload. . A SIEM watching 20 endpoints is not doing the same job as one watching 500. More endpoints mean more logs; more logs require more storage; more storage makes search heavier. Eventually, the very architecture that made your lab easy to deploy becomes the reason your production...

Http2 Bomb Hero 2026 Esm H350
Price Tag 1security advisory apache

A newly disclosed attack technique called HTTP/2 Bomb is drawing attention because it targets the software that sits at the front of much of the Linux internet. Apache HTTP Server, NGINX, Envoy, and the ingress layers that many Kubernetes environments depend on can be forced into consuming disproportionate amounts of memory using relatively small amounts of attacker traffic. . For Linux administrators, the concern is not the HTTP/2 protocol itself. It is the possibility that a single...

Supply Chain Risk Starts At The Workstation Hero Esm H350
Price Tag 1security advisory important

The compromise of Nx Console shows how much infrastructure now sits behind a single developer account. GitHub repositories, CI/CD pipelines, container build systems, Terraform projects, Kubernetes deployments. None of those systems was the initial target. The workstation was. . Attackers did not need a Linux privilege escalation bug or a remote code execution chain. They needed developers to trust a tool they were already using. For many organizations, that was enough. What Happened? Federal...

Persistence Tricks Hero Esm H350
Price Tag 1security advisory open-source

You remove the malware. You rotate the compromised credentials. You patch the original vulnerability and close the ticket. Two weeks later, the attacker is back. . What happened? You didn't lose the battle at the exploit; you lost it at the cleanup. In many modern Linux intrusions, the malware you found wasn't the main problem—it was the fallback mechanisms left behind. These hooks quietly restore attacker access the moment you look away. If you clean a host but miss these persistence layers,...

Red Hat Npm Hero Esm H350
Price Tag 1security advisory Red Hat

Researchers investigating a campaign now tracked as Miasma found that more than 30 packages in Red Hat's @redhat-cloud-services npm namespace had been altered to deliver credential-stealing malware. . The packages weren't being used to deploy ransomware or sabotage systems. From what has been reported so far, the objective appears to have been much simpler: collect credentials from developer environments and use that access elsewhere. GitHub tokens, cloud credentials, SSH keys, and other...

Debunking Popular Misconceptions Regarding Linux And Open Source Software

LinuxSecurity debunks some common myths and misconceptions regarding open source and Linux by answering a few Linux-related frequently asked questions. . Open source and Linux are becoming increasingly well-known and well-respected because of the myriad benefits they offer. Seventy-eight percent of businesses of all sizes across all industries are now choosing open source software over alternative proprietary solutions according to ZDNet. Facebook, Twitter and Google are are among the many companies currently using, sponsoring and contributing to open source projects. Although Linux and open source are widely recognized for the advantages they provide, there are still many myths and misconceptions that surround these terms. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about Linux and open source. Linux & Open Source FAQs What are the advantages of the open source development model? How can using and contributing to open source software benefit my business? Open source offers an array of inherent advantages which include increased security, superior product quality, lower costs and greater freedom and flexibility compared to other models. It also is accompanied by strong community values and high standards, which encourage the highest levels of creativity and innovation in engineering. In general, how does open source software compare to proprietary alternatives on the market? Open source software is generally both more reliable and more secure than proprietary alternatives available on the market because of the transparency and collaboration involved in its development and review. Experts from around the world are able to access open source code, discuss the development of open source products and work together to discover vulnerabilities and solve problems. This collaboration leads to exceptional levels of innovation and achievement. Open source software also generally displays very high levels of security due to the visibility surrounding open source projects. Because open sourcesoftware is thoroughly reviewed by the community, potential security issues are detected and fixed extremely rapidly. In addition, by choosing open source products over proprietary alternatives, people and organizations avoid the risk of vendor-lock in and maintain the freedom and flexibility to switch to another product if they are unsatisfied for any reason. What are the advantages of choosing Linux over other operating systems? Because Linux is an operating system comprised of open source technology, security flaws are recognized and eliminated before they become an issue for the public, making Linux inherently secure. Proprietary alternatives like Microsoft Windows are relatively easy targets for malicious coders, making these operating systems likely victims of malware and viruses. Linux also offers a wide range of options, with several distributions currently available and free to download. Finally, Linux is extremely reliable. In comparison, Microsoft Windows is considered significantly less reliable due to the sacrifices made to increase user-friendliness. How can I contribute to the Linux/open source community? How can my business benefit from my contribution? Open source and Linux are surrounded by vibrant communities with the shared goal of creating top-notch products and solutions that are as useful and effective as possible. These communities aim to work together to benefit individuals, organizations and society as a whole through innovative engineering. Depending on a person’s specific skills and training, each individual can contribute to the open source community in a unique and meaningful way, even if it is simply by the support of choosing open source products over proprietary alternatives. Businesses will benefit from supporting open source development and the Linux community by receiving the best software options on the market for the most affordable prices.
