Unveiling the Future of Open-Source Generative AI
The Linux Foundation's 2023 Open Source Generative AI Report delves into the advancements and implications of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI). As Linux admins, infosec professionals, and Internet security enthusiasts, it is crucial for us to understand the impact this technology has on our field. Let's critically analyze the insights from the report and explore the long-term consequences. |
Open Source Vulnerability Assessment Tools & Scanners
Computer systems, software, applications, and other interfaces are vulnerable to network security threats. Failure to find these cybersecurity vulnerabilities can lead to the downfall of a company. Therefore, businesses must utilize vulnerability scanners regularly within their systems and servers to identify existing loopholes and weaknesses that can be resolved through security patching. Assessment results help developers and network administrators understand any potential network security issues so they can implement the necessary defensive measures against them. We discuss what vulnerability scanners are and introduce our top free, adaptable, open-source vulnerability assessment tools. |
Zero-Click Bluetooth Attacks Pose Serious Threat Across Major OSes
Vulnerabilities have been discovered in Bluetooth technology that affect various operating systems and could compromise a wide range of devices. As Linux admins, infosec professionals, Internet security enthusiasts, and sysadmins, it is crucial to understand the implications of these vulnerabilities and the impact they may have on our work. Let's have a closer look at these flaws, how they work, their impact on Linux users, and how to mitigate your risk. |
