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...

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 securitycyber eventsLas VegasLas Vegas Conferences: Security Experts Join Forces With Hackers
The middle-aged G-men who wear crisp suits and consort with teenage hackers sporting purple hair can make the two conferences that will converge in Las Vegas this week look like a scene from a science-fiction movie. In fact, the gatherings are the most important in the world of computer security, drawing a "who's who" list of leaders from companies such as Microsoft Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc., government agencies including the FBI and underground groups that act as a neighborhood watch for the Internet. The motley band of researchers, federal agents and cyberhobbyists come to learn how to fortify networks against the latest attacks, share research on new vulnerabilities and recruit people in a field where competition for talent is growing increasingly fierce. . . In shadowy cafes, they exchange secrets over lattes, blending old world charm with youthful chaos, creating a captivating juxtaposition of authority and rebellion.

The carefully coiffed men wearing suspiciously shiny shoes are at every major computer security convention. They are there to remind hackers that law enforcement is always interested in their activities. They are also there to encourage security experts to become special agents. But after responding to the agency's appeals for computer security experts, aspiring G-men hackers sadly say that their names will never appear on the FBI's Most Wanted Job Applicants list. Although their technical abilities should allow them to qualify easily as agents, their ethics, age and/or physical fitness levels excluded them. Mike Sweeny, fueled by renewed patriotism after Sept. 11, wanted to offer his 20-plus years of experience in computer security to the FBI. But he was disheartened by job requirements that required him to have a college degree, be under 37 years old, morally irreproachable ... and physically fit.

Despite the current emphasis on security in the IT industry, CIOs and IT managers are still not paying enough attention to the problems facing their organizations, a panel of security experts said Wednesday. "Security is still very much an afterthought," said Robert Thomas, CEO of Netscreen Technologies Inc., of Sunnyvale, Calif. "It's reactive and not proactive." Thomas' comments came during a keynote panel discussion at the NetWorld+Interop show here that also included representatives from Network Associates Inc., Enterasys Networks and Internet Security Systems Inc. The other panelists echoed Thomas' sentiments, saying that although security currently is getting a lot of attention, the basic infrastructure of the Internet and corporate networks is still fundamentally vulnerable.

Hacker conventions, such as those being held in Las Vegas this week, are no longer considered the sinister gatherings they once were. If the slot machines get a little screwy this week, casino detectives will have plenty of suspects. Thousands of computer hackers and security experts begin converging in Las Vegas Tuesday for the annual Black Hat Briefings and Def Con convention on computer security. With individuals and corporations increasingly relying on buggy software and the Internet to manage everything from their finances to their personal health records, incidents of malicious hacking continue to increase. More than 7,000 computer security violations were reported in the first three months of this year, more than in all of 1998, according to the CERT Coordination Center, a security research group at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. .

Tired of conferences not living up to your expectations? Then you haven't been to Usenix. In this month's Wizard's Guide to Security, Carole Fennelly reports that Usenix's recent security conference offered interesting and accessible talks -- and a who's who of security experts to schmooze with. I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I wondered why I'd waited so long to attend a Usenix conference. It was probably because I felt that I could just read the research papers instead of actually attending, but that's like shunning a concert with backstage passes because you can buy a CD. There's so much more to the live conference than the purely technical presentations. This article describes my view of the conference -- it's by no means a complete picture, as it's impossible for one person to attend every talk. For a complete review of the conference, I urge you to get the November 2000 issue of ;login magazine (a publication of Usenix and SAGE).
