Linux Security Week: February 28, 2022
Happy Monday fellow Linux geeks and Open Source enthusiasts! In this week's newsletter we explore the basics on Nmap, and how the popular open-source network discovery and auditing tool can be used to perform a ping scan, a host scan and an OS and services scan. We also speak with Jon "maddog" Hall, often referred to as “the Godfather of Linux”, to get exclusive insights on his history with Linux, some of his contributions to the community, a bit about its evolution, and his thoughts on what we might see with Linux in the coming years, and examine the anatomy of a Linux ransomware attack.
