Equifax blames open-source software for its record-breaking security breach

It’s far more likely that — if the problem was indeed with Struts — it was with a separate but equally serious security problem in Struts, first patched in March.

Linus Torvalds Wants Hackers to Join Linux Before They Attack Linux

Torvalds also noted that as a technical person he is impressed by the ingenuity of the people who attack Linux code.

“There are smart people doing bad things. I wish they were on our side, and they could help us,” Torvalds said. “Where I want us to go is to get as many smart people as we can before they turn to the dark side.

“We would improve security that way and get those who are interested in security to come to us before they attack us,” he added.

GNOME 3.26: Wayland vs. X.Org Performance – Boot Times, Power Use, Memory Use & Gaming

  • Wayland loads the desktop slightly faster
  • no real significant difference in memory and battery consumption
  • On benchmarks that can use Wayland directory there is no significant difference between Mutter using Wayland or Xorg
  • On benchmarks forced to use XWayland Xorg is like 5 times more frames per second.

Ubuntu GNOME Shell in Artful: Day 11

However, as I mentioned when talking about our new Ubuntu Shell theme, GDM, as being a system-wide component, will keep using our Ubuntu style with no easy way to change it. The theme name is indeed hardcoded in the Shell for good reasons (for instance, there is the fear that user themes, changing the css, may end up being outdated, and potentially can break the Shell and GDM, leaving the user with no UI at all). We were distro-patching this by changing gnome-shell.css by our ubuntu.css style.

It would mean as well people switching to the vanilla session or GNOME classic had no way (apart from recompiling) to change the current GDM theme.

Hacking IoT Devices with Kali Linux

Remember BackTrack Linux?

The BackTrack distribution originated from the merger of two formerly competing distributions which focused on penetration testing:

  • WHAX: a Slax-based Linux distribution developed by Mati Aharoni, a security consultant. Earlier versions of WHAX were called _Whoppix_[6] and were based on Knoppix.
  • Auditor Security Collection: a Live CD based on Knoppix developed by Max Moser which included over 300 tools organized in a user-friendly hierarchy.

The overlap with Auditor and WHAX in purpose and in collection of tools partly led to the merger.

Note: BackTrack Linux is no longer being maintained. Please check www.kali.org

Kali Linux | Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking Linux Distribution

Kali Linux is an open source project that is maintained and funded by Offensive Security, a provider of world-class information security training and penetration testing services. In addition to Kali Linux, Offensive Security also maintains the Exploit Database and the free online course, Metasploit Unleashed.

Official Kali Linux Downloads

We generate fresh Kali Linux image files every few months, which we make available for download. This page provides the links to download Kali Linux in its latest official release. For a release history, check our Kali Linux Releases page. Please note: You can find unofficial, untested weekly releases at https://cdimage.kali.org/kali-weekly/.

netdiscover: netdiscover

To discover the IP’s on an internal network, we will usually want to scan a range of IP addresses. In netdiscover, we can use the -r switch (for range) and then in CIDR notation provide it the network range we want it to scan. In the command below, we are asking netdiscover to find all the live hosts with IP addresses between 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. We do this by typing;

netdiscover -r 192.168.1.0/24

OpenVAS is a framework of several services and tools offering a comprehensive and powerful vulnerability scanning and vulnerability management solution.

Metasploit Framework | Kali Linux

In keeping with the Kali Linux Network Services Policy, no network services, including database services, run on boot as a default, so there are a couple of steps that need to be taken in order to get Metasploit up and running with database support.

Linus Torvalds passed a kidney stone and then squeezed out Linux 4.13

Linus Torvalds has released Linux 4.13 to a waiting world and in so doing detailed a tricky work week in which he endured “seven hours of pure agony due to a kidney stone”.

Microsoft is turning Windows into the ultimate Linux Runtime

“In under a second I’ve run a Windows executable, I’ve fed that into one distribution of Linux and then taken that output and fed that into another distribution of Linux, which is pretty amazing,”

WinBtrfs

WinBtrfs is a Windows driver for the next-generation Linux filesystem Btrfs. A reimplementation from scratch, it contains no code from the Linux kernel, and should work on any version from Windows 7 onwards.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Sends Supercomputer into Space to Accelerate Mission to Mars

Oracle just killed Solaris/SPARC/ZFS teams … | The FreeBSD Forums

Oracle, just layed off about 2500 people from Solaris, Storage (ZS1/ZFS), SPARC and Library teams, earlier this year 450 people has been layed off.

Oracle looks like it’s going to suggest Solaris users move to its SPARC-powered cloud.

Solaris to Linux Migration 2017

ZFS is available for Linux via the zfsonlinux and OpenZFS projects, and more recently was included in Canonical’s Ubuntu Linux distribution: Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 LTS (April 2016). It uses a Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) to provide a Solaris-kernel interface on Linux, so that unmodified ZFS code can execute.

Remote desktop capabilities making a comeback in GNOME on Wayland

Remote desktop under Wayland seems to finally be happening; thanks to work on new APIs and a new GNOME Remote Desktop service undertaken by Jonas Ådahl!

Status Icons and GNOME

From GNOME 3.26, we are therefore planning not to show status icons in GNOME Shell by default. We feel that, long-term, this change will enable us to provide a better experience for our users

My feeling is that we have actually been using status icons as a crutch for far too long – that they have been used to fill gaps in our APIs, gaps which are now thankfully getting filled – and that moving away from them will help us to extend application integration in some exciting directions.

  • Bots like Alice will surprise us with how quick they move in.
  • Most large bot platforms are Google, or Microsoft powered.
