There are great open source products for nearly every purpose. But I have yet to find many in the security field. Most seem hand-written, based on books like the O’Reilly Secure Progrmaming Cookbook. Maybe I’m not looking hard enough. If I’m not, please point to your favorite open source security in TalkBack.

Open source should be a great model for enterprise security. Open source advocates often say bugs are dealt with faster in an open source environment, and security holes are bugs.
