This is about SECURITY
Linux isn't doing well on that front lately (all current data here):
Not only does Linux have 4x++ the amount of unpatched security vulnerabilities its competitor Windows Server 2008 does, but it bears 3 remotely exploitable unpatched security vulnerabilities (THE WORST KIND!):
http://secunia.com/advisories/44754/
http://secunia.com/advisories/19402/
http://secunia.com/advisories/14295/
The Linux folks are talking DISABLING SECURITY here? They're essentially asking a great security feature BE STOPPED on secure boot!
(Gosh, why's that? So they can continue to hack Windows perhaps?? I'd say so, but it seems lately Linux is taking a HUGE "Beating" on the security-front, see next below on that very note in fact!)

Since you in the business of "ribbing on Windows", well, then it's my "civic duty" to show even MORE CURRENT INFORMATION about Linux being "so secure" (not):

*That's ALL pretty current information... very recent too, & as anyone reading can see? Linux isn't really "big" on security, especially lately!
APK
P.S.=> And, lastly of course? There's ANDROID (a Linux variant/uses Linux kernel) so please, tell us - how's ANDROID doing on the security front?? Not very well...
This is sort of funny on that note in fact: I tried to post all of the known security issues I have catalogued here for it, & SLASHDOT's FORUM ENGINE CAN'T EVEN HANDLE THE LOAD (too many is why)...
Fact is, Android shows anyone that once Linux got a decent share of market on a platform, it too, can be found to be insecure & was benefitting on PC's via "security-by-obscurity" only (lack of widespread usage vs. competitors) & since nobody was using it? Why bother attack it (mindset of hacker/cracker types is this) - this is, how it REALLY is. All the "fud" you heard on
There in ANDROID also? Bugs in the kernel too, not just bugs in the JAVA/Dalvik front end have been found on that note also.
Guys, listen - they ALL need work on the security front, every OS there is!
Even though Windows Server 2008 shows less unpatched security vulnerabilities http://secunia.com/advisories/product/18255/?task=advisories than the Linux CURRENT KERNEL ALONE

*That's ALL pretty current information... very recent too, & as anyone reading can see? Linux isn't really "big" on security, especially lately!
APK
P.S.=> And, lastly of course? There's ANDROID (a Linux variant/uses Linux kernel) so please, tell us - how's ANDROID doing on the security front?? Not very well...
This is sort of funny on that note in fact: I tried to post all of the known security issues I have catalogued here for it, & SLASHDOT's FORUM ENGINE CAN'T EVEN HANDLE THE LOAD (too many is why)...
Fact is, Android shows anyone that once Linux got a decent share of market on a platform, it too, can be found to be insecure & was benefitting on PC's via "security-by-obscurity" only (lack of widespread usage vs. competitors) & since nobody was using it? Why bother attack it (mindset of hacker/cracker types is this) - this is, how it REALLY is. All the "fud" you heard on
There in ANDROID also? Bugs in the kernel too, not just bugs in the JAVA/Dalvik front end have been found on that note also.
Guys, listen - they ALL need work on the security front, every OS there is!
Even though Windows Server 2008 shows less unpatched security vulnerabilities http://secunia.com/advisories/product/18255/?task=advisories than the Linux CURRENT KERNEL ALONE
-
This is about security
Linux isn't doing well on that front lately (all current data here):
Not only does Linux have 4x++ the amount of unpatched security vulnerabilities its competitor Windows Server 2008 does, but it bears 3 remotely exploitable unpatched security vulnerabilities (THE WORST KIND!):
http://secunia.com/advisories/44754/
http://secunia.com/advisories/19402/
http://secunia.com/advisories/14295/
The Linux folks are talking DISABLING SECURITY here? They're essentially asking a great security feature BE STOPPED on secure boot!
(Gosh, why's that? So they can continue to hack Windows perhaps?? I'd say so, but it seems lately Linux is taking a HUGE "Beating" on the security-front, see next below on that very note in fact!)

Find out yourself & DOUBLE-VERIFY
1st: Use this link to verify, takes 1-3 minutes approximately:
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssldb/analyze.html?d=wikimedia.org&s=208.80.152.200
Gets an "A" rating here and yet, it ONLY supports TLS 1.0
(Which means an attack like "BEAST" can "get to it" IF the user is "man-in-the-middled" via the javascript that loads it &/or java pages that exploit it)
NOW, to "double-verify" what's shown above from SSLLabs?
Opera ALSO has developer tools for that too -> View Menu, Developer Tools submenu, Page Security Info
Results - says wikimedia's NOT secure by its standards currently, & has NO security certificate for wikimedia.org...
Lastly, & perhaps most importantly (other 1/2 of the Client-Server equation/interaction here, is the browser itself used):
Opera has TLS 1.1 & 1.2 encryption options (1.1 is enabled by default, 1.2 you must activate) - only "safe(r)" browser I know of that's equipped to THAT level, currently, for certain.
* IN ANY EVENT - I haven't had my coffee yet (going to now in fact though), but I *think* I "hit on" the right pages above, per this article, to do the pertinent tests from reputable/reliable sources &/or tools for the job...
APK
P.S.=> Oh, & yet another thing to "test/look at" is "What's that site running?" by NetCraft
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=wikimedia.org
(Because it can point you to what Server OS & WebServer builds are being used, which tells you if they are PATCHED FOR SECURITY OR NOT, vs. things you can see in exploit-db for example (because all malware makers/hacker-crackers have to do, is stay 1 exploit ahead of ANY sites' patched levels basically to abuse them)).
E.G.-> For Apache (since it applies here to wikimedia.org), for example, you'd want to be SURE it's got builds capable of using a mod_ssl that allows TLS 1.1/1.2 (not just 1.0, because of "BEAST" above mainly) - that's where querying GOOGLE or BING for this:
Helps...

Excerpts from article summary
ARE what AMAZON uses basically: Does ANYONE know what or how their overall schema & OS they use are?
I don't & last I knew of/checked on, it was some proprietary thing I'd never heard of, OR I could NOT get an answer!
(Which struck me as odd actually, could be totally their "own" but I doubt it actually - why rebuild the wheel in other words, but - when you have billions? Then again... why not!)
"Dusko Pavlovic suggests that security is a game of incomplete information and the more you can do to keep your opponent in the dark, the better." - Posted by Soulskill on Saturday October 01, @06:12PM
from the can-we-try-this-at-airports dept.Anyhow - that seemed more like security by obscurity to me actually, ala this report -> http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=amazon.com
AND, heck, like Microsoft?? You can't even DDoS them... that's right - ever wondered WHY you don't hear that MS or AMAZON get DDoS'd? They can't be is why.
How/Why? Well - They've "overbuilt" their network capacity hugely, & to SUCH an extent, you're not going to "overload" or "saturate" connections to them, and IF you try?
"plus a little reactive security in response to an attacker probing the system." - Posted by Soulskill on Saturday October 01, @06:12PM
from the can-we-try-this-at-airports dept.Heh - "Yes Kids" - They take proactive & reactive measures, in that they monitor for it, & close such connections past a certain point/threshold...
(The unroutable types that DDoS use, think 10.x.x.x for example, that do NOT go "outbound online" to the public net (which also used to make the IP Stack go nuts & thus, the CPU too, until most OS' patched for it))...
Then, the IP stack (MS example here) also has settings of:
SynAttackProtect, EnableDynamicBacklog, MaximumDynamicBacklog, MinimumDynamicBacklog, TcpMaxHalfOpen, TcpMaxHalfOpenRetried
Those of you that have MS' based OS can do the same via those IP stack settings, mind you, & those ALL work IN COMBINATION with one another @ THE OPERATING SYSTEM'S IP STACK LEVEL to stave off DDoS/DoS attacks too!
(Of course, in combination with hardware measures noted above both MS & Amazon do, to stall off "the unstoppable attack method" (the DoS/DDoS)).
APK
P.S.=> It's the "how & why" you NEVER see Amazon OR Microsoft getting news that "anonymous/lulzsec" (& the like) "took down MS/Amazon via DoS/DDoS"... both companies use some "security-by-obscurity" (MS in closed source code for the MOST part to most folks), & also precautionary settings as well as unknowns (AMAZON'S OS TYPE USED, from above).
(Because you KNOW that'd be "big news" IF either went down to a DDoS/DoS, of course... & especially around here with all the "Pro-*NIX" sentiment regarding Microsoft (from the sockpuppet FUD spreading trolls that keep 100 user accounts to attempt to fool others with that bullshit is more like the real truth of it though - using "jump on the bandwagon" puny marketing ploys @ psychological manipulation of the weak-minded who don't check into things themselves))... apk

Re:Not using javascript immunizes me too, lol!
I never said anything about whether you were insecure or not. The only thing I said was that it was not possible to determine the version of SSL a site uses simply by looking at the server version string, which is what you implied here:
Use this (with example, check it) -> http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=slashdot.org [netcraft.com]
How HARD is it to make this query in BING or GOOGLE to research what TLS encryption methods are possible in webservers noted
Because the server can lie about its version, or a server that normally supports TLS1.x could have TLS1.x disabled manually, or a server could use an alternate library like apache+gnutls (which supports TLS1.1 and 1.2) instead of apache+openssl (which does not). The only way to know for sure is to connect directly to the server and try different versions to see which are accepted.
-
Time to blow you away AGAIN, AC troll... apk
1.) So you use NETCRAFT's "What's that site running" here:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=slashdot.org
To determine what webserver a site runs (what build level), first.
2.) Then, query a search engine for what webservers have TLS 1.2 in them, ala:
3.) & if NEED be, write the website on what "mod_ssl" level they use currently & warn them to update to the one that has TLS 1.2...
* Easy as pie, & even EASIER than step #3, is to just use this:
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssldb/analyze.html?d=slashdot.org&s=216.34.181.45
That last tool I have to thank someone named "Lennie" here on in an exchange he & I had today (much more direct on determining SSL TLS level used on a site than my "detective methods")...

P.S.=> Funniest part is, I'll never EVER get hit by "BEAST", because I don't use javascript here "indiscriminately" (hell, I never do, I don't even do "ecommerce" because I know the security-downsides of Javascript is why)... but, time to "take you apart" in your quotes now (the FUN part):
"That won't work. The way TLS works is the client says 'hey I have 1.2" and the vast majority of servers reply, "cool, but I only do 1.0 so do that instead" and the client obliges." - by Anonymous Coward on Thursday September 22, @10:25AM (#37479622)
See the above, & "tell us another one", ok? IF you don't have javascript active (especially "everywhere + indiscriminately" though? Like myself, you CANNOT BE HIT BY IT, period!).
Care to debate that, you ac troll??

"Old servers reply with "error there is nothing other than 1.0" so that's why the default is 1.0 on clients" - by Anonymous Coward on Thursday September 22, @10:25AM (#37479622)
So, see the above - I provide tools to check "server-side" also for TLS/SSL levels, what builds of a webserver have it, as well as what a server runs... simple!
(Guess you didn't KNOW that, eh, troll? LOL...)
First of all, I am ONLY extolling the fact that Opera already has a few "built in/native" mechanisms for combatting this (perhaps the best is its "by site" prefs & not using potentially dangerous things like iframes, plugins, javascript, cookies etc./et al, rather than its TLS 1.2 option it already has).

Yes, you are... pot calling the kettle black!

What's not "legit" about what I wrote last round in Opera being able to defend a user, BROWSER SIDE (the topic here mainly) vs. SSL type attacks like "BEAST"?
(Now, I know this AC troll will run from this, or go off topic & attempt more illogical adhominem attacks, but I always have fun with him, making him look more ignorant than he already is, everytime)...

You're welcome
See subject-line above & thank you for the thanks!

P.S.=> I had to thank someone for supplying me a direct tool here too, in Lennie's replies in fact, for an online analysis tool he provided myself (& others) here in fact - NOT A "WASTED DAY" if you learn a new thing I figure!
His tool (vs. my 2-3 step detective work methods), saves a few seconds of work actually!
(Yes, I can do that with a couple more steps for the most part, via:
NETCRAFT'S "What's that site running" -> http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=slashdot.org
&
A simple GOOGLE or BING query -> http://www.google.com/search?sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=%22Apache%22+and+%22TLS+1.2%22&btnG=Search on webserver(s) that have TLS 1.2 abilities)...
So... you MAY wish to look into Lennie & my "exchange/debate"!
He illustrated good tools are there for you to use also that combine with Opera's TLS 1.2, & "By Site Prefs" abilities (unique to Opera in fact afaik & native to it) to secure yourself vs. this threat, & identify (especially for your FAV sites you frequent most) which sites have TLS 1.2 abilities in their webservers (IF NEED BE? Well - You can email the folks here on a site too asking on their TLS level if needed, or use Lennie's tool here -> https://www.ssllabs.com/ssldb/analyze.html?d=slashdot.org&s=216.34.181.45 )...apk

"Yes, but what does a Google query tell you about the website (thus server) you are connecting to ?" - by Lennie (16154) on Thursday September 22, @11:01AM (#37480096) Homepage
It tells you what mods or webserver builds (in the example I used, Apache) contain TLS 1.2 or what mod is necessary for it to work (you even noted which does iirc).
The articles tell you IIS has better encryption also, but NOT BY DEFAULT, you have to activate it...
You have what you need with the 2 pieces I supplied, just a touch more "legwork" (not exactly 'brain-surgery' either mind you) than your direct method is all... but, again:
I am SURE that if I can "figure that out"? So you can you, & others... using NETCRAFT's What's the site running link I supplied, & the GOOGLE query I put up after in reply to you!

P.S.=> HOWEVER, the topic & ARTICLE @ hand, is browsers specifically, not servers (see subject of this article, Chrome specifically).
Thus, I supplied what others thanked me for in part in other replies, that Opera already HAS WHAT IS NEEDED, browser-side, in TLS 1.2... the bottom-line here AND TOPIC, is that above all else!

On detecting what a website runs? EASY!
Use this (with example, check it) -> http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=slashdot.org
"It is only solved for those websites that also support TLS/1.1 and/or TLS/1.2. There is no GUI which displays what the server supports so you don't really know.
Well, you DO, now...
* AND, via a GUI, no less!
APK
P.S.=> That "overcomes your objections", I'd think, in addition to Opera ALREADY featuring TLS 1.2 as an optional encryption method for SSL (and a LOT MORE I noted in my init. reply that TRULY makes it "a browser built BY WEBSURFERS, for websurfers" (not advertisers &/or large company advertising monies or informational tracking gains))...

DNS hack, some ok some down still,
Using Just-Ping to check from 50+ locations around the world only 5% have what is traditionally the correct IP (212.100.234.54 according to Netcraft) or so have the current IP most say the DNS is down.
http://just-ping.com/index.php?vh=www.theregister.co.uk&c=&s=ping!I forced an update with Netcraft it now has a record of the another IP 68.68.20.116 with different server headers which I presume is the broken site.
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.theregister.co.uk
The hackers could have done more damage if they also increased the TTL of the domains they poisoned. 24 hours seems to be the time atm.

Re:Silverblight is dead.

How's this?
Microsoft has recently shifted its strategy on Silverlight as a cross-platform solution and now wants to implement standards-based HTML5 really, really, really well in Internet Explorer 9.

At least it was fixed
How many bugs are there in commercial software that we don't know?
What we do know is that there are many exploits for commercial software. The vendors claim that such exploits only exist because that software is more popular, but this does not explain why Apache doesn't have four times more exploits than IIS

Re:Many firms specialize in site hosting
One place to start is to look at netcraft http://news.netcraft.com/ they rate the reliability of hosting frims--companies that have been at the top for many months are probably a good recomendation. Look at the client list, and find out what services they are buying. Ask about client service--at top tier the phones should be answered in one or two rings by a extremely knowledgeable tech who can solve the issue. No call trees or escalation. Ideally you'll get an assigned customer service team that takes the time to learn your application and proactively monitors the system. Ask your team some technical question to assess whether you're comfortable with their answers.
Also find a hosting frim that is expert in the technology that you're planning to use. If you're going the
Also, make sure you trust their technical expertise (which is what you are paying for).
Expect to spend 10X over ther bare-bones hosting... but hosting will be a minor cost in the grand scheme of things.
