hi ya simon i dont mean to scare ya but...
i'd venture to say ... 95% of security is just people management ... and 5% is implementing a techie solution
...
- 90% of all security issues is internal ... not from outside the internet
...
Thank you for your guidelines, though I fear they will not affect me since I'm alone with my best friend in this business... and he knows nothing about linux and network. All I have to fear comes from the internet.
you forgot to include *yourself* in the "internal [cr/h]ackers" - rm -rf / will always be an important [security/backup] lesson :-) - all the "security stuff" affects you... even if its only you and your own machine and nobody else in the house/bldg see the links to SAN's top 7, top 20 security boo-boos http://www.sans.org/resources/errors.php http://www.sans.org/top20 - more - http://www.Linux-sec.net have fun alvin --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethical Hacking at the InfoSec Institute.
