- Unix (all flavours) and Microsoft
- As the Linux/Unix profile in major organisations appears to be growing (or perhaps IT staff are admitting to using it now it's not seen as a stigma) are organisations cross training Microsoft support staff enabling them to support Linux/Unix systems? Or, are they using management software of some type? Or,...

- Block OS fingerprinting on Linux/UNIX systems
- When an attacker attempts to penetrate a targeted Linux/UNIX system, the first task involved is usually to discover which OS the system is running and then compromise it with known exploits. If you can thwart an attacker from identifying the OS, then you can make it much harder and more...

- Managing and monitoring log files is one of the most important maintenance activities that network administrators handle. However, one of the biggest challenges is how to handle logs from remote sites. The standard syslog service on Linux/UNIX can't be used over public networks because of privacy and performance concerns. Instead,...

- Linux/UNIX viruses and worms demand special attention
- Not that long ago, many administrators assumed Linux and other UNIX-based platforms were virtually invulnerable to viruses and worms. I'm not sure why they became so complacent in their analysis of these threats, particularly since the first major worm, launched in 1988 by Robert Morris, was released on UNIX systems...

- Linux security is as strong as ever, despite recent stats that say otherwise
- Recent security comparisons have suggested that Linux is not nearly the security-clad OS that it claims to be. But when the research is faulty, any comments based on it are faulty as well. Such is the case with this new anti-Linux argument.By Con Zymaris, Special to ZDNet AustraliaPerhaps in response...
