Ready to be published? LXer is read by around 350,000 individuals each month, and is an excellent place for you to publish your ideas, thoughts, reviews, complaints, etc. Do you have something to say to the Linux community?
Reports have been coming about a new Trojan malware named XOR DDoS that has been responsible for a number of DDoS attack in Asia. It's coming from Linux machines, and people are going wild. The truth is somewhat different from what's been published until now.
Malware and viruses are not something common in Linux systems, so when someone announces massive 150+ Gbps DDoS attacks that are coming from Linux machines, you take notice. Users from other platforms are now pointing fingers at Linux saying that it's just as vulnerable as Windows (take a moment here to stop from laughing) and that it can cause just as much harm.
