Multi-user Security in Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| There are certainly ways to prevent users
| from running downloaded programs, but in the
| end, the multi-user security of a system will
| depend on security of every piece of software
| installed. Preventing the exploits from being
| successful, a la SELinux, adds the most
| viable method of protection. Coupled with a
| frequently updated system, additional
| restrictions such as rbash arenât generally
| necessary.

Collection of security checks for Linux

| The aim of Buck Security is, to allow you to
| get a quick overview of the security status
| of your system. As a Linux system
| administrator - but also as a normal Linux
| user - you often wonder if your system is
| secure. In this situation it is useful to get
| an overview of the security status of the
| system immediately. Buck Security was
| designed exactly for this. It runs important
| tests and returns the results to you after a
| couple of minutes.

GNU/Linux: Donât Call Them PC Viruses
,----[ Quote ]
| I call that hogwash. The reason Microsoft Windows
| is so often successfully attacked is because of its
| flawed security design. I run FreeBSD Unix and Mandriva
| GNU/Linux on my PC systems. I keep my systems patched
| with up to date bug fixes and security fixes. I will not
| install software that I do not know from whence it originates.
| I do not run any anti-virus software and yet I will never
| get a âPC Virusâ on these systems. There is no such thing
| as a âPC Virusâ, call them âMicrosoft Windows Virusesâ or
| âGNU/Linux Virusesâ or âApple OS X Virusesâ depending on
| the operating system which they successfully attack. Donât
| call them âPC Virusesâ.

The Real Reason Why Linux and Mac OS X Are More Secure Than Windows â Via
Kaspersky
,----[ Quote ]
| Russian antivirus maker Kaspersky has come up with a statistics of the
| attacks targeting no less than 43 different platforms throughout 2007. The
| conclusion is rather bleak for Microsoft, Windows attracts in excess of 96%
| of all malware, while the remaining 42 operating systems are impacted by just
| under 4%.
