The first step is to choose a project. This decision can be instrumental in turning a newbie programmer into a seasoned open sourcer. read more

News briefs for April 10, 2018.

I've written about simple server-hardening techniques in the past. Those articles were inspired in part by the Linux Hardening in Hostile Networks book I was writing at the time, and the idea was to distill the many different hardening steps you might want to perform on a server into a few simple steps that everyone should do.
