http://forums.fedoraforum.org – - Would this be safe and secure with common sense. Its me and my daughter and we have a total of three computers - all with linux. Now we have a router and install UFW as firewall on our linux systems - thats it. I think that should cut it for regular use with out having any worries or be paranoid for getting attacks or whatever hackers/crackers do. Do you agree or disagree ? Should i spend more time and effort into security solutions. Cheers (HowTos)

Hi

currently there are so many forum threads even a more than 17pages on cpanel about ways and patches to secure the server against such type of attack I used cloud linux but it made my sever unstable and I had a lot of down time and high loads Please make an official patch to secure server against such type of attacks

Thanks

Specifically, on Amazon Linux, Error: php54-common conflicts with php-common-5.3.23-1.33.amzn1.x86_64 when issuing

sudo yum install php-xml

I uninstalled php54-common and installed php-xml fine, but it installs php53-common which is not compatible then with php 5.4.

I was just curious how many times the average Linux desktop user at these forums check their computer for virus', root kits, etc. I already know all the arguements about Linux being more secure, which is one reason why I use it. However I also believe that nothing is 100% and the worst things happen when you least expect them.

My ISP was blocking ports. I asked them to unblock the ports so now we have set all of the port blocking handling to the router we have here at home. So my question is, is my system secure? Anything I should be aware of? And if my computer isn't behind any sort of firewall, just straight connected to the Internet (demilitarized zone?) is it secure? does it impose any security risks?

Wind River announced that an upcoming, security-hardened version of its commercial embedded operating system, Wind River Linux Secure, is being evaluated by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) for Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 4+ (EAL4+) certification.

So after i've finally set up my home server, I want to make sure it's secure enough..

Firewall wise everything is good to go, but i'm worried about my ftp.

• Common sense: see time average is half of the statistic average. • Is it true? Just think about how much time you need to wait to get on a Pioneer bus. • Hints: the common sense is correct only if the buses leave a station regularly (say every 10 minutes). • So, why the two averages are different in other cases?

Mandriva, Europe’s leading publisher of Linux solutions, announces the collaboration with the Norwegian company Open Framework Systems (OFS). Mandriva and OFS are working together to provide a secure collaborative solution to its customers.

I like using Linux, it makes me feel secure. But there are still things even Linux users have to watch out for. I know Linux is much better than windows when it comes to security. But still sometimes I feel like we may feel to safe on our OS.more ...
