For years, IPv4 was the only proxy type that really mattered for anyone running automation off a Linux box. IPv6 was the protocol everyone said they’d migrate to, but almost nobody actually did. In 2026, that’s finally starting to shift. . The problem is that most admins stick with IPv4 out of habit. They know it; it’s what their tooling defaults to, and they don’t see a reason to change. Some are overpaying for addresses they don’t need. Others would quietly break their scrapers, scripts, or...

Researchers recently identified another wave of malicious packages on PyPI linked to the broader Mini Shai-Hulud campaign, a worm-like supply chain attack that spread through trusted software packages. On the surface, the packages looked no different from thousands of others published to the repository each week. . Instead of trying to break into a target network directly, the attackers hid malicious code inside software that developers were already using. A few downloads are all it takes....

IronWorm steals credentials and uses them to spread beyond the original victim, turning developer access into a supply chain risk. . A new campaign targeting npm has evolved past simple credential theft. Researchers identified IronWorm, a self-spreading threat. It harvests high-value Linux development secrets—SSH keys, cloud tokens, package publishing credentials. One compromised workstation becomes a launchpad for downstream supply chain attacks. This is not a get-in-and-get-out operation....

The romanticized image of the digital nomad – a laptop on a sun-drenched balcony – rarely accounts for the actual friction of maintaining a professional development environment on the move. . The friction is amplified with Linux. We are looking for a setup that respects our kernel configurations, handles volatile network handovers, and maintains a strict security posture without the hand-holding of a consumer-grade OS – so, put simply, more than just a laptop and a sunny deck. The hardware is...

Cron has existed in Unix and Linux environments for decades, handling backups, cleanup scripts, patching jobs, log rotation, monitoring tasks, and other maintenance work that administrators do not want to run manually. Most Linux servers rely on it constantly, which is exactly why attackers continue abusing it for persistence after a system has already been compromised. . Persistence through cron is not complicated. Attackers do not need a rootkit or advanced malware framework to maintain...

Ubuntu 21.04: Home Directories Now Private for Enhanced Security

Until now, users on the same Ubuntu system could access and read the files in the home directory of other users. This is changing from Ubuntu 21.04 - adding a layer of security and privacy to Ubuntu systems. . The development of Ubuntu 21.04 is in progress for its stable release on April 22, 2021. One of the proposed changes in Ubuntu 21.04 is to make the users’ home directories private. I hope you are aware of file permissions. If not, I have written a detailed and easy to understand guide to Linux file permission and I suggest you read that. Most people probably never noticed it but the home directory in Ubuntu has the permission 755 i.e. rwxr-xr-x. . The forthcoming Ubuntu 21.04 prioritizes user privacy with a key update that ensures home directories are kept private, thereby boosting overall security measures.. Ubuntu 21.04, user privacy, home directory permissions. . LinuxSecurity.com Team
