SANS/FBI Release Top 20 Security Vulnerabilities
theBraindonor writes "SANS Institute and the FBI have compiled a listing of the The Twenty Most Critical Internet Security Vulnerabilities. The list is broken down into two groups: Windows Systems and Unix Systems." The list of Unix vulnerabilities is also a list of the network programs I (and presumably many others) use most. It's a good thing there's BugTraq.
Interesting that all but one of the UNIX probs can also be traced to Windows. Apcahe runs on on Unix and Windows. FTP, RPC etc etc
Looks like the FBI is clueless, jeez why do they even bother. Must have been some grant money available they wanted.
It's simple there are more windows boxen on the net ergo they have more problems. I _believe_ that unix is more secure but I'm not going to bet on it.
There is an very easy solution to eliminate the top 10 problems. Stop using all microsoft applications and plateforms.
Just my $.02.
NO! NO! Please don't mod me, I'm too young to die a troll. *click* Oh the pain, the pain...

Sys admins spending more time reading /. than patching and monitoring their servers.
