VirusTotal

Virustotal offers a free service of suspicious file scanning, using several antivirus engines. Use the upper box to send a suspicious file so Virustotal can scan it. If you wish, you can also send files using your regular email following this procedure: * Create a new message with scan@virustotal.com as destination of such e-mail * Put only SCAN in the subject field (SCAN- if you don't want to distribute the sample to AV companies). * Attach the file to be scanned. Such file must not surpass 2 MB in size: if the attached file is bigger, it will be automatically rejected by the system * You will receive an e-mail with a report of the file analysis. Response time will vary depending on how loaded the system is at the time the request was made

Why You Should Encrypt Your Email

Security is mostly hype, right? You don't really need to bother with all those complicated passwords, antivirus software, firewalls and such. Its all just security software vendors and security consultants trying to scare everyone so they can sell their products and services.

Windows vs Linux security report

Much ado has been made about whether or not Linux is truly more secure than Windows. We compared Windows vs. Linux by examining the following metrics in the 40 most recent patches/vulnerabilities listed for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 vs. Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS v.3: 1. The severity of security vulnerabilities, derived from the following metrics: 1. damage potential (how much damage is possible?) 2. exploitation potential (how easy is it to exploit?) 3. exposure potential (what kind of access is necessary to exploit the vulnerability?) 2. The number of critically severe vulnerabilities The results were not unexpected. Even by Microsoft's subjective and flawed standards, fully 38% of the most recent patches address flaws that Microsoft ranks as Critical. Only 10% of Red Hat's patches and alerts address flaws of Critical severity. These results are easily demonstrated to be generous to Microsoft and arguably harsh with Red Hat, since the above results are based on Microsoft's ratings rather than our more stringent application of the security metrics. If we were to apply our own metrics, it would increase the number of Critical flaws in Windows Server 2003 to 50%. We queried the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) database, and the CERT data confirms our conclusions by a more dramatic margin. When we queried the database to present results in order of severity from most critical to least critical, 39 of the first 40 entries in the CERT database for Windows are rated above the CERT threshold for a severe alert. Only three of the first 40 entries were above the threshold when we queried the database about Red Hat. When we queried the CERT database about Linux, only 6 of the first 40 entries were above the threshold.
