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...

network securityprivacy controlsecure networkEnhancing Home Network Security with a Secure Raspberry Pi Router
Designed with an eye on security and privacy, SPR aims to give you complete control — by putting every device on its own private network. . Computer security developer Alex Radocea is looking to bring control of network routers back to the individual, launching a project to create what he calls a "Secure Programmable Router" using a Raspberry Pi 4 single-board computer (SBC). "I started working on this project because I think that Linux provides a tremendous amount of agility and power for secure home networking but I felt like there was no router project out there that pulled it all together," Radocea explains of the SPR Project. "SPR simply enables users to do better than today's status quo. It lets users run a hardened, secure network without restrictive drawbacks. It lets users connect their consumer electronics to the internet with the peace of mind that doing so does not weaken their home network security." . Network security expert Jordan Kauffman aims to return authority over wireless access points to users through RWI..

A public/private consortium in Oregon is developing a secure information network that was created as a direct result of homeland security concerns. The consortium responsible for developing the Oregon Trial of Emergency and Security Technology (O-TEST) demonstrated the model in Washington, D.C., Nov. 13. "It is a protocol of communication that is IP-based and lives on top of a public network that provides a secure point-to-point data interchange," said Wyatt Starnes, president and chief executive officer of Tripwire Inc. and a member of the board of directors of RAINS -- the Oregon Regional Alliance for Information and Network Security.

EnGarde walked away with our Editor's Choice award thanks to the depth of its security strategy, which covers nearly all the bases. Everything from the low-level mechanisms (binary integrity checking and stack protection) to high-level usability issues (including an excellent patching interface) demonstrate the serious effort the Guardian Digital crew has invested in EnGarde. ESL's Guardian Digital Secure Network provides a textbook example of an ideal patching interface--automatic notification, simplified downloading and straightforward descriptions are all included. We were up to current patch levels in a matter of minutes. EnGarde holds up well in the line of fire, escaping without a scratch on the ptrace vulnerability. In fact, the company was able to say in an advisory: "Please note that EnGarde Secure Linux does not ship with the 'newgrp' utility, nor does it ship with any other setuid/setgid executables, which can be used to exploit this bug. Thus, EnGarde Secure Linux is not vulnerable to the ptrace flaw." The link for this article located at Network Computing is no longer available. .

Security experts have warned that the secure computer network planned by the US Government could be undermined by careless users. The Bush administration, newly focused on security since the 11 September attacks, wants to create a network, called Govnet, to provide protected data and voice communications. Richard Clarke, recently named special advisor to the president for cyberspace security, is behind the new initiative and believes it to be vital to future, critical, government operations. But security experts say that the role of the new network needs to be clarified and that it could still be at risk, even if it were segregated from the public internet.
