Windows Leak: Security Problems of Open Source, Without the Benefits

If the source code leak exposes new security weaknesses, it could again test the relations between Microsoft and the security research community. In recent years Microsoft has gained improved cooperation in keeping security holes under wraps until a patch is available. If security professionals believe Microsoft is unwilling or unable to respond promptly to reported vulnerabilities, they're more likely to publish information about exploits; a scenario played out in December when an spoofing bug in Internet Explorer was published. It took Microsoft six weeks to publish a fix, leaving IE users more susceptible to bank card Phishing scams in the interim.

I hate to admit it, but my memory is not as good as it once was. When I can't remember something on my Linux box, I often open a console window to get to the CLI for assistance. Once at the command line, I take advantage of these two handy little CLI tools: whatis and apropos. Maybe you'll find them useful too.

Introduction to XEN

  • OSnews (Posted by dave on Feb 15, 2004 8:00 PM EDT)
  • Story Type: News Story
With the hype growing to a feverish pitch about the public announcement of Xen, I thought I would share some insight into the knowledge I've had of the language for almost a year and a half. I'm still under orders not to post the video demonstration I have back to my blog (not because the subject matter is Xen, but because apparently the demonstration is internal to Microsoft... I still don't understand this (expecially now that the cat is out of the bag), but it certainly doesn't stop me from sharing some of the information contained in it. This will be an ongoing post as the demonstration is over an hour long, with lots of code samples to boot.

SCO's February 11 SEC S-3 Filing

  • GrokLaw (Posted by dave on Feb 15, 2004 3:32 PM EDT)
  • Story Type: News Story; Groups: SCO
SCO's got a new SEC filing, an S-3 dated February 11. There are some interesting elements. What leaps off the page, to me, is that they seem to be gearing up to sue end users soon, and they are expecting serious backlash from their DMCA strategy. The feeling I get is they are suiting up for battle, and soon. McBride said in the Harvard appearance they'd file against some users around February 18, and after reading the S-3 financials, I now believe they actually will.
