Operating System Security

Operating System Security Network Security Library {http://www.windowsecurity.com/whitepaper/} This is a site providing articles on general network and system security, and no emphasis is placed on any one OS. Due to the large number of articles available on Unix and Windows, these systems have their own links; articles on other operating systems, such as Macintosh or Linux, can be found through keyword searches. Articles come from a variety of sources, including individual submissions as well as published book chapters. Readers are invited to rate articles on a scale of one to ten, and the average score and number of votes are listed with each article title. Windows Security Guide http://www.winguides.com/security/ This site lists security vulnerabilities and fixes for all Microsoft operating systems, as well as for network-related utilities such as MS Internet Explorer and Internet Information Server. Other services include a free newsletter of alerts and updates, and "support forums" for discussion of security topics. There are two levels of membership: the basic free membership allows access to the forums and newsletters, while a fee-based premium subscription option allows access to help files, free downloads, and the ability to turn off advertisements. Macintosh Security Site http://www.securemac.com/ The Macintosh Security Site contains several informative articles on Macintosh security, and reviews of many security products for Macs and Mac servers. While the site is supported through paid advertisements, the ads are rather unobtrusive. Of interest is the fact the Macintosh Security Site is maintained as the "white side" of Freak's Macintosh Archive, a "hacking" site devoted to announcing and exploiting security vulnerabilities in Macintosh software & utilities. Linux Security http://www.linuxsecurity.com/ This site is sponsored by Guardian Digital, Inc., an Open Source security company which produces EnGarde Linux products. The site is not used solely to advertise EnGarde products, and other vendors and products are represented through their sponsorship of the site as well as in articles and advisories posted at the site. The News section of the site provides full-text articles, reprinted from a variety of external sources, on a wide range of general and Linux-specific security topics; the Documentation section features numerous practical "how-to" articles. Users can subscribe to free weekly Linux security newsletters and advisories and participate in an online mailing list.
