Enterprises grow more savvy over open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source icon Stormy Peters recently joined us for a live Network World
| chat. Peters is co-founder of the non-profit GNOME Foundation and director of
| community and partner programs for OpenLogic. Peters discussed why
| enterprises don't know how much open source software they use, how newbies
| and non-programmers can become involved in the movement and why she thinks
| open source software is more secure than proprietary code.

Justifying Snort

Vista security credentials tarnished in malware survey
,----[ Quote ]
| "[Vista]has been hailed by Microsoft as the most secure version of Windows to
| date. However, recent research conducted with statistics from over 1.4
| million computers within the ThreatFire community has shown that Windows
| Vista is more susceptible to malware than the eight year old Windows 2000
| operating system, and only 37 per cent more secure than Windows XP," said
| Simon Clausen, chief exec at PC Tools.

Insecurity blues: What I learned from my buggy code
,----[ Quote ]
| Is it easier to find and fix security bugs in Open Source/Free Software code
| rather than proprietary code? My personal feeling on that is "yes". Being
| able to examine the intent of the author by looking at the code and comments
| makes it much easier to see where the intent and the code don't match. That's
| where the security bugs live. Is Open Source/Free Software code safer than
| proprietary code? I'd say "yes" to that also.

Microsoft FUDwatch: Windows vs. Linux security
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft is adept at twisting the truth about how open source works. Every
| person in that company knows or should know by now that significant
| commercial interests are involved in open-source development, and especially
| Linux. So when Mr. Edmonds refers to "volunteer developers," he's surely
| creating a false strawman (just as Bill Hilf recently did).

Skeletons in Microsoft’s Patch Day closet
,----[ Quote ]
| This is the first time I’ve seen Microsoft prominently admit to silently
| fixing vulnerabilities in its bulletins — a controversial practice that
| effectively reduces the number of publicly documented bug fixes (for those
| keeping count) and affects patch management/deployment decisions.

Beware of undisclosed Microsoft patches

| Forget for a moment whether Microsoft is throwing off patch counts

Microsoft is Counting Bugs Again
,----[ Quote ]
| Sorry, but Microsoft's self-evaluating security counting isn't really a
| good accounting.

| [...]
|
| The point: Don't count on security flaw counting. The real flaw is
| the counting.

Microsoft admits Vista screwed - report
