The Twenty Most Critical Internet Security Holes

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the casey-kasem-is-out-to-lunch dept.

Ant writes: "A little over a year ago, the SANS Institute and the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) released a document summarizing the Ten Most Critical Internet Security Vulnerabilities. Thousands of organizations used that list to prioritize their efforts so they could close the most dangerous holes first. This new list, released on October 1, 2001, updates and expands the Top Ten list. With this new release, we have increased the list to the Top Twenty vulnerabilities, and we have segmented it into three categories: General Vulnerabilities, Windows Vulnerabilities, and Unix Vulnerabilities."

    Isn't 'windows vulnerabilities' an oxymoron? Shouldn't "Running windows" be one of the 20 reasons?

    Only because Windows is a more widely used OS does it enjoy the attention of hackers...

    Once unix had worms and virii as well, but since then the people who actually can program have moved to more productive OSes.

    Linux has more bugs than anyone can guess, only because it is so-called shareware software they think it's more debugged. Pah!

    And then misguided souls use it for firewalls etc.
    -sigh-
