Thanks. When I migrate to Debian (?) and need support I'll ask you guys.
Ok that's cool. So it's a set once and forget system if you want to use Grsecurity. I read the opposite on Insanitybit's blog that you have to do...
I meant the Grsecurity settings not the compiling. To make it clear; when I first install a kernel with grsecurity patch I need to decide if I...
I expected to get my hands dirty, I had no problems with that. I actually enjoyed installing Arch the old way, I read and printed the beginners...
I have an i5 4690k @4,3 ghz. Never done a kernel compiling before and I don't want to try it. Ok, so that's a relief - with Arch you just upgrade...
Well if I'm not connected to the internet I could abandon the updates altogether. But I need internet access and like to have my system security...
Hi, Yes you're correct - I like Windows (7) and I had no plans to migrate until 2020 or so. But with the recent bundled security "quality"...
Thanks for the input. I'll keep it in mind. I don't use Steam or play games. Waiting hours for the compiling to complete isn't my idea of fun....
Mrkvonic - if security issues are way way blown out of proportions why is the malware industry making so much money, a billion dollar industry?...
Judging by Grsecurity's site, it looks like it is the answer to all exploits out there. SELinux, apparmor etc don't even come close as they're not...
1. I understand the relation between usability and security. That's why I asked why the patch was pulled back - what did it break? 2....
Anonfame, thanks for your post. I enjoyed reading it. I wish I had more time to respond to your elaborate post but I don't. My posts in general...
Mr Mrkvonic, I'm not surprised to read your comments. Security never ever bothered you.
1. 2 serious vulnerabilities in 12 years - references please. 2. Linus has the right to say whatever he wants. But if security is taken seriously...
Please recommend a renowned LTS distro that applies security patches as they become available and has Pax/Grsecurity/SELinux activated out of the...
Yeah. Few serious bugs that were there for years. Mind you, Mr. Torvalds thinks security oriented people are ********** monkeys. He doesn't care...
1. Many diffrent software versions argument : Ok, you have a point but in general I don't think security by obscurity is a real security measure....
How is that (the bold sentence) any better? 2 serious vulnerabilities in 12 years : I think you must be referring to OpenBsd?
I think, with Vista-W7 the security has improved considerably. Perhaps not on par with Linux out of the box but to me the unix concept has been...
None so far.
Thanks. A neat scanner that works in a -q mode.
A well balanced post, thank you. I am not surprised that bugs are found in Linux, but I'm surprised a) it wasn't discovered for almost a decade,...
9 years. That says it all. The many-eyes argument doesn't hold up.
I don't even know how I run it. Does it scan upon reboot if installed?
I'm a bit confused. Can you get the monthly security roll-up for W7 via WU? I thought those roll-ups were for enterprise only. I only was offered...
Separate names with a comma.
