A Guide to Internet Security: Part-03

Well, this paper has shown the finer details of security on Internet. It has

shown both sides of the coin.  Three points I would like to make that would

probably clean up most of the security problems on Internet are as the

following:

1.  Vendors need to make security a little higher than zero in priority.

If most vendors shipped their Unixes already secure with most known bugs

that have been floating around since the Internet Worm (6 years ago) fixed

and patched, then most uebercrackers would be stuck as new machines get

added to Internet. you will

2.  Security experts giving up the attitude that they are above the normal

Internet user and try to give out information that could lead to pressure

by other admins to vendors to come out with fixes and patches.  Most

security experts probably don't realize how far their information has

already  spread.

3.  And probably one of the more important points is just following the

steps I have outlined for Stopping a Uebercracker.
