Re: Getting Off the Patch

I'm getting a bit annoyed reading over and over arguments which I've highlighted some time ago anyway ( http://www.mail-archive.com/full-disclosure () lists grok org uk/msg44454.html ). The real question, what is the *direct* alternative to patching? Don't say "sandboxing" because it doesn't always work. And don't tell me about only installing the system critical issues only - that's called "update by priority". Also, please remember that we are talking against patching, not discussing where patching works(/ is better) or not so I would expect any serious arguments to completely exclude patching.

And it doesn't look like a "no patching" policy yet...sure, .. though you've made me sad considering how few organizations do "best practice, good system/security administration". not new, still difficult? (~_~;) that leaves consensus: "no patching" elusive, yet to be observed in real-world. (e.g. yeti or bigfeets) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
