If I were security dictator, I wouldn't say "don't run Windows". Well, actually, I might - but first, and more importantly, I'd say: no monocultures. Specifically, there are two edicts through which I'd say that: - Don't run anything with over 30% market share. - Each site (FWVO "site") must be run mixed, with at least three different systems each having at least 10% of the network. Yes, the first one means periodic changes. If the second one is followed, they won't be especially drastic. Ideally, I'd add parallel dicta for the hardware - the above are just for the software - but the software ones would, I suspect, get most of the benefit. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
