Came across a couple of articles on security (Linux and Network), thought it might be worthwhile to share them with this list.

Hackers ... this and hackers that. The right term is crackers. dont even bother to read an article which mistakes hackers for crackers.

And the 2nd writer needs to be beaten with a gnu clue stick for wasting news print. Having source code according to this ah allows you to install backdoors and the example he badies is a compiler. I suppose one cant install a few trojaned libs on a closed source box.

And the default install of all distros is insecure. Nevermind the worms and exploits that get you on a windows box and never get fixed ever.

List dont waste time reading the shit. I already wasted mine.
