Security Patches

InfoSec

Regardless of which Operating System you run, it is important to keep up with the critical updates to keep your machines as safe as possible

• Realize that by the time a critical bug has been reported, verified, patched and delivered to your distribution of choice, a significant amount of time has passed...
• From the first day the bug has been discovered [zero day] to the day you patch your computing machine, you've had a vunurable open machine in that one respect.
• Keep the amount of time between the availability, of patches & the update of your machines, especially your VMs (Qemu et al) & physical servers as short as possible
• Make sure to always use manual updates on your server VM's!
• I shall not explain why, start reading on Wikipedia and furthe, the explanation is too long for this short post

Notes:

• every OS can have vunurabilities
• Security in obscurity does not work!
• you are not secure because you run obsolete AmigaOS QNX or cool and niche *BSD as an OS
• buffer overflows hide everywhere
• I reguraly find them!
