P.S.=> Yup - All those YEARS to DECADES of "Linux 'FUD'" spread around here of "Linux = Secure, Windows != Secure" is turning up complete BULLSHIT, & ANDROID (A linux because it uses a Linux kernel) especially shows everyone what a crock of complete crap that campaign all was & that once Linux DID get a decent share of market on a platform, it's security 'swiss cheese', period...

You also failed to omit that Jeremy Reimer and his friend Jay Little pursued me to troll me at Windows IT Pro magazine's forums, and got THEIR ASSES KICKED on the fact that Exchange Servers can be "unfrozen" by memory optimizers

(The topic @ hand there no less, and Little (reimer's henchman "expert", lol - NOT) claimed literally to be an "EXPERT ON EXCHANGE")...

Reimer was off topic the ENTIRE TIME no less, and I also caught Jarrett DeAngelis (doctoral candidate then @ Notre Dame, another "henchman" of Reimer's because he's too stupid & uneducated in computing to try it himself vs. myself) lying on his real name, which he admitted in the end, and he AGREED with a GOOD 99% of what I stated also. Reimer ended up being tracked on tracking tickets by his ISP Shaw Canada too, & backing off in his trolling (especially when law enforcement came into it).

In the end? Reimer was no longer allowed to write for Arstechnica, especially after being caught impersonating NOT ONLY MYSELF, but also a Mr. Martin Meszaros who publicly denounced Reimer there.

On Thor SCHMUCK?

Ha - (unlike other sources) refused to remove a program of mine (that was down graded to ZERO THREAT LEVELS later mind you by CA) from a list he kept!

I found out later HE IS THE ONE WHO SUBMITTED IT TO CA, & he could not prove any malicious intent in its code (funny CA didn't list PING, because it could issue a "ping of death" OR Spybot Search & Destroy which alters a HOSTS file (a criteria of theirs no less)).

Small wonder CA sold off their PC utilities division - it was junk, no matter HOW MANY LIES THEY TOLD OF OTHERS in their wares & HOW THEY WERE CAUGHT IN ACCOUNTING SCANDALS PER MY LAST POST PROOF THEREOF !

(What they did to myself? Hey - That wasn't me alone either, folks like Nir Sofer of NIRSOFT had this happen, and lo & behold, in the past so has Dr. Mark Russinovich on his ps tools suite!).

No, after the ABOVE? LMAO - It's clear you are here and that you are trying to adhominem attack me as a "last resort" & failing like your usual... lol!

APK

P.S.=> Still - CAT'S OUTTA THE BAG ABOUT LINUX SECURITY, especially CURRENTLY, per the below (Especially "Schroedinger's cat especially, no longer in a "super-positional wave state" of doubt as to his dead/alive state, but in Linux's case. security state, lol - per what's next below that YOU WON'T EVEN TRY TOUCH, lol!):

Sure thing friend, but remember, be careful what you wish for!

Get ready, here they come! Kinda makes that koolaid just a little bitter now, don't it? I believe in using the best tool for the job, but to say Linux is secure or better than any other complex OS is frankly bullshit. Hell I was talking to a 15 year Linux admin on one of the other sites that had gotten so sick of Linux fuckups they were going to BSD and if THAT didn't "just work" they were gonna wash their hands of FLOSS on the desktop and just go Mac.

BTW if you'd like a little more food for thought, what OS was 3 of the 4 CAs running that were compromised? take a look and see. Maybe they just had configs? Surely someone with knowledge would be safe right? Guess again and its not a fluke by any means.

BTW if you wish to run Linux because its cheap/free, or to make a political statement? Not a problem with me, I'm personally gonna try out FreeBSD on turkey week to see if I can lower my costs on refurbs. But to pretend that Linux is a magical woobie that makes you hack proof like the one I was responding to (Notice how I was labeled troll for pointing out his "Herp derp, Linux is safe herp derp" was bullshit? Enjoy that groupthink koolaid) then you deserve a good smacking. News Flash: ALL OSES ARE COMPLEX,COMPLEXITY LEADS TO BUGS BUGS LEAD TO HACKS. There USED to be smart people here on Slashdot that knew basics like this, but now its a fanboi jerkoff. As soon as I find a decent OS site i'll be moving on, and if you look at how far /. numbers have dropped i'm far from being the only one sick of being handed Koolaid.

Then, there's ANDROID, and it's showing security-wise, piss poor...

(It DEFINITELY helps show us all that all the FUD on /. for years now that "Linux is secure" is just that, fud!)

ANDROID's being torn up in the hundreds with exploits and yes, ANDROID uses Linux kernel.

* AHEM - Need more?

P.S.=> Well - "Ask & YE SHALL RECEIVE!" then!

Sorry, but it's not worth the time and whatever "spades" you're getting paid pack in are 99% emotional, not physical.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was wondering. I actually RTFA'd to see if the author had any sort of real statistics, but he really doesn't; the one thing that's presented as any sort of evidence is Netcraft's list of most reliable hosting companies for February, which is pretty meaningless. Sure, the top three are running FreeBSD, but every other company on the list is running Linux (besides number 9, which is running Windows Server 2003).

Just to let you know I'm not disagreeing with you but I do think what you are saying needs to be highlighted given the number of times I have to deal with "BSD is X" nonsense from people who have absolutely abysmal math skills. Not only are you correct about the variability of the data but the netcraft chart is a weighted ranking of a number of metrics and while these may be perfectly reasonable for evaluating a hosting provider. None of them are intrinsically OS related and only two have to do with reliability. One of those two is the same for every system down to #30 (on the Feb 2011 data)! For example in Feb 2011 # 6 serverbeach (a Linux based provider) outperforms BSD (and everyone above it) in connect latency, first byte, total and kb/s. The only reason this is in #6 is because it's failed requests differs by 0.008%. While someone might argue that this difference is important in some context as we can see from the two samples you gave it's not entirely clear how much each one of these OS's vary. While I wouldn't necessarily expect the "best" os to always be in the top. I would expect that - over time - the variance in the data to be smaller. Without this, it's impossible to derive anything about the OS from the "failed req %" (assuming it isn't simply a function of completely irrelevant things like their upstream ISP's)

P.S.=> So, std./"OEM STOCK" Linux isn't the answer... @ least NOT a non-security hardened one (& I mean above + beyond just std. SeLinux even)

NOW... I noted CIS Tool for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 & yes, even Windows 7/Server 2008 have it, here in my other posting to GameBoyRMH -> http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2514010&cid=37985822

THERE IS ALSO A BUILD OF CIS TOOL FOR LINUX VARIANTS AS WELL, look into it...

That is, IF you're after that "custom security hardened build" he notes should be used (which he's right about, because I've done pretty much the same thing for Windows really, & it's worked for myself since 1996, & that post shows others doing the same since 2008 onwards)...

Sorry, but it's not worth the time and whatever "spades" you're getting paid pack in are 99% emotional, not physical.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was wondering. I actually RTFA'd to see if the author had any sort of real statistics, but he really doesn't; the one thing that's presented as any sort of evidence is Netcraft's list of most reliable hosting companies for February, which is pretty meaningless. Sure, the top three are running FreeBSD, but every other company on the list is running Linux (besides number 9, which is running Windows Server 2003).

Furthermore, if you look at the historical monthly data for "best datacenter", it's pretty obvious that the whole thing is hugely variable. Sure, in Feb 2011 the top three were FreeBSD sites; in April 2011, the top three were Rackspace (which runs something I've never heard of), Linux and Windows. You would imagine that if this were really a measurement of the operating system's reliability, the top ten lists would be fairly consistent; after all, it's not like the OS is changing significantly month to month. Instead, because it varies so much, this is probably mostly measuring how good the providers are at making sure data flows to and from their data center, instead of how good they are at responding to it.

And finally, the server admins who choose FreeBSD are pretty self-selecting. Someone who really knows how to tune and administer Linux is probably going to have just as stable a system as someone who really knows FreeBSD.
