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...

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...

IT leadershiptechnology trendsjob demandGrowing Need For Open Source Skills: Insights From The Linux Report
Open source makes more sense than ever in the current climate and, according to the 2020 Open Source Jobs Report , businesses are increasingly seeking those who possess talent and skills in this area. . Against a backdrop of ongoing COVID-19 uncertainty, the demand for open-source technology skills is on the rise. That’s according to the most recent 2020 Open Source Jobs Report . Released by the Linux Foundation, the report is based on data from more than 175 hiring managers at corporations, small and medium businesses (SMBs), government organizations, as well as staffing agencies around the world, and is based on responses from more than 900 open-source professionals. Findings in the report include that 86% of IT leaders say that the most innovative companies are using open-source software, while more than three-quarters (77%) say they plan to increase their use of open source over the next 12 months, thanks to benefits in higher quality solutions, reduced costs of ownership, improved security, and cloud-native capabilities.

open sourceattack vectorssecurity issuesIdentifying Hidden Risks in FOSS and Enhancing Security Awareness
A preliminary study released February 18, which we directed alongside the Linux Foundation, numerous troubling trends in open source security underscore the importance of understanding where open source is most used and could be vulnerable to attack. . Commonly used free and open source software (FOSS) is one of the most significant technological trends of the decade. After all, 80-90 percent of a typical application contains FOSS components (pdf) . And that trend is only increasing with its use in smart phones, cars, the Internet of Things, and numerous pieces of critical infrastructure. But without appropriate investment and maintenance, that widespread adoption has the potential to become a liability.

data securitydata protectionconsumer privacySun Microsystems CEO Advocates Data Security And Consumer Privacy
The CEO of Sun Microsystems,--infamous for his pronouncement, "You have zero privacy anyway--Get over it."--took a conciliatory tone on the stage here, allowing that privacy might be something for which consumers should fight. He warned companies that, unless they protect consumer privacy, they could lose out on significant online growth. . "It's going to get scarier if we don't come up with technology and rules to protect appropriately privacy and secure the data, and the most important asset we have is obviously the data on people--our customers and employees and partners," McNealy told attendees last week. "And if we can't protect that, people are not going to go online." The link for this article located at is no longer available. .

Want an affordable technology that gets documents and images from Point A to Point B more reliably than a private courier? Then get the facts straight: Facsimile, or fax, technology is not dead. Enterprises still use faxes to extend offers, advertise and promote products, and seal deals. In addition, many courts accept faxes to file motions, and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) considers point-to-point fax secure enough to exempt it from privacy and security controls. Fax usage continues to grow at incremental rates, even in lean times. Shipments of hard-copy output devices, such as fax machines, printers, copiers and multifunction printers, increased 3.5 percent in 2003 while overall end-user spending decreased by 11.5 percent, according to Gartner. Why? Fax technology is an affordable, mature solution that gets the job done. However, if you want multiple people in your enterprise to send and receive faxes at the click of a mouse, you need more than a fax machine. You need a fax server. Fax servers have three basic parts: a PC running an operating system, fax server application software and an intelligent fax board, such as Brooktrout's TR1034 or TR114 or Intel's Dialogic/GammaFax.

While the majority of readers think that wireless networks are generally insecure, we all know that the human factor is the biggest problem. It is up to us, the users and the administrators, to watch the new technologies and to keep updated with the events - which will finally lead to a phrase "wireless security", that won't any longer be an oxymoron. Wireless security is one of the hottest topics in our business. In the article you are just reading, I've tried to cover some of the most interesting wireless security topics and events in 2003. The article is divided into several thematical sections: general overview of the wireless security happenings, look back on some software tools, spotlight of two interesting books, a brief positive rant on corporate security world and a Q&A with three wireless security experts working at Funk Software, AirScanner Corporation and IBM. The first news item added to Help Net Security in this year was "Wi-Fi: The National Security Threat". The topic of this news item, was literally copied all over and over throughout the year, so the majority of news stories dissed wireless security. This media "attack" on wire-free network security, eventually lead to a raise in wireless security awareness and better state of security in general.
