And you came through, offering 13 other solutions (so far) that we either hadn't considered or hadn't even heard of. read more

The National Security Agency develops advanced hacking tools in-house for both offense and defensewhich you could probably guess even if some notable examples hadn't leaked in recent years. But on Tuesday at the RSA security conference in San Francisco, the agency demonstrated Ghidra, a refined internal tool that it has chosen to open source. And while NSA cybersecurity advisor Rob Joyce called the tool a "contribution to the nation's cybersecurity community" in announcing it at RSA, it will no doubt be used far beyond the United States.

For over a decade, VMware has been accused of illegally using Linux code in its VMware ESX bare-metal virtual machine hypervisor. A German court has dismissed the case, but the struggle may not be over.

I've had several opportunities to do IT work in less-developed and remote areas, where internet coverage and technology access aren't at the high level we have in our first-world cities. Many people heading off to undeveloped areas ask me for advice on preparing for the local technology landscape. Since conditions vary greatly around this big world, it's impossible to give specific advice for most areas, but I do have some general suggestions based on my experience that may help you. read more

Unfortunately for the security of our applications, we usually don't "build security in" with development; instead we wait until the last possible moment and slap in security measures, typically forming a police-type security department and creating adversarial feelings between the security folks and the developers. read more

In the last article in this series, I shared some ways to teach kids to program with Raspberry Pi.

I have to admit, it took me a rather embarrassingly long time to really get into Linux as a daily driver. One thing I recall from these years in the wilderness was how strange it was to watch open source types get so worked up about text editors. It wasn't just that opinions differed. Disagreements were intense. And you'd see them again and again. read more
