system security Linux network 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...

Server Securityopen-source Linux administration
open-source Linux administration 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...

Vendors/Productssecurity breach linux
security breach linux A major internal repository breach at GitHub has exposed a critical and overlooked blind spot in Linux supply chain security. Kernel exploits, exposed SSH services, weak firewall rules, and vulnerable daemons dominated the Linux threat model for years, and in many environments, they still matter. But recent supply-chain incidents involving GitHub ecosystems, npm packages, and malicious developer tooling point somewhere else entirely: the developer workstation. . The breach matters because...

Security Trends access control multi-tenant
access control multi-tenant Linux administrators often face an ugly choice in the cloud: prioritize convenience and cost-efficiency by sharing infrastructure, or sacrifice those benefits for the sake of total isolation. Most modern Linux workloads don't live on their own private servers anymore. They live in shared environments like Kubernetes clusters, where multiple teams and services run side-by-side. It sounds efficient, and it usually is. . But cloud isolation isn't as ironclad as it looks on the diagram. If you...

Vendors/Productsincident response cloud security
incident response cloud security Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) has become one of the most sought-after security services in the enterprise market — and with good reason. It promises the holy grail: broad visibility across endpoints, network, cloud, email, and identity, combined with the 24/7 human expertise most organizations simply cannot build in-house. . However, the rapid growth of the market has produced a wide range of providers whose capabilities vary considerably beneath the surface. Choosing the...

data protectionIT solutionsbackup technologyInnovative Data Protection Practices Transform Linux Backup Systems
This is an exciting time for people involved in data protection, and not in the bad way that things can be exciting. Many more options, techniques, and practices have become available to IT professionals. The new technology solves a great many problems. Three major technologies or practices are rapidly changing our ability to protect mission-critical information. First, backup is changing - dramatically. The introduction of disk-to-disk backup systems is shrinking backup windows to nearly zero and bringing restore times in line with modern service levels. With disk-to-disk systems, the traditional tape backup devices are replaced with a hard drive-based system. Using a technique called virtual tape, the disk system emulates the tape system for purposes of software compatibility. Since the disk drives are much faster than tape devices, backup and restore operations are much faster. . As I point out in my book, restore operations that may have taken four or five hours can now be done in 90 minutes or less. This is significant when you consider the requirements of a 0.99999 service level. The link for this article located at Sys-con is no longer available. .

The frightful genius of steganography, though, is that, by design, you don't know when it's being used. Independent researchers have devised numerous methods to search for signs of its proliferation on the Web, and some have reported that they've found nothing, and there's consequently no reason to be afraid.

The frightful genius of steganography, though, is that, by design, you don't know when it's being used. Independent researchers have devised numerous methods to search for signs of its proliferation on the Web, and some have reported that they've found nothing, and there's consequently no reason to be afraid. But when you think about these studies, the results become about as comforting as homeland security advisor Tom Ridge's color-coded alert system. After all, if you search for hidden messages on the Web and find nothing, what should you conclude -- that there are no messages, or that the terrorists are too sophisticated, and your tools don't work? The answer to this question turns out to be a highly personal one, a matter of individual psychology and interest rather than a reasoned decision based on collective safety and the immutable laws of math. Ask security types, or people who make software to aid security types, and they say that steganography is a grave threat to our safety. Defenders of steganography, and its cousin cryptography, take the opposite view. These are people who become easily exercised over the prospect of the government monitoring the Web, and they say that if researchers haven't found secret messages, the messages are likely not there. But amid this politicking, one important question tends to get left by the wayside: if steganography is, or eventually becomes, the preferred tool of terrorists, can we ever thwart it? According to many experts, the answer is probably no. The link for this article located at Wired is no longeravailable. .

Securing your network activity is not difficult, but it does require an awareness of how certain protocols work. This article will attempt to address these protocols and situations and suggest ways of adding security. The tools and protocols discussed in this article all have one thing in common: they all send data over the Internet in plain text. What this means is, when the data is leaving one user's computer on the way to another computer, it's not encoded in any way. Imagine someone having a phone conversation with someone in another city. Then, in the first person's house, someone picks up an extension and hears the conversation. This person can now eavesdrop on the conversation without difficulty. This is exactly what can happen to network traffic as it travels between computers. The link for this article located at OS Opinion is no longer available. .
