🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Just got my hands on the exclusive leaked Linux source code! 😱🐧 Now, before you panic, let's take a moment to appreciate the humor and dive into why the open-source nature of Linux is not just a laughing matter, but a game-changer! 🌐💻 🤔 Joke Aside: Why Open Source? 1️⃣ Transparency: Unlike closed-source (proprietary) systems, Linux's open nature allows anyone to scrutinize the code, ensuring no hidden surprises or sneaky business. 2️⃣ Security: With a massive community of developers, vulnerabilities get spotted and patched faster than you can say "root access." 3️⃣ Customization: Ever felt limited by software restrictions? Linux empowers users to tweak, modify, and personalize their systems to their heart's content. 4️⃣ Collaboration: The collaborative spirit of the open-source community fosters innovation. Developers worldwide contribute, share knowledge, and collectively make Linux better every day. 5️⃣ Cost-Effective: No licensing fees mean substantial savings. It's not just free as in freedom but also free as in free coffee – always a good thing! 💡 Conclusion: While the "leaked source code" might be a prank, let's appreciate the real beauty of Linux – an open, transparent, and collaborative ecosystem that benefits us all. 🌐💙🐧 #Linux #OpenSource #TechHumor

Insight 💡: We make our luck in open source through our willingness to put our ideas out there and through interacting with a diverse community of contributors. It's not merely "dumb luck" that things like the XZ vulnerability are caught early or that #Linux and #opensource have become so critical to modern business infrastructure. Rather, it's the ethos of the open source movement that creates a vast "Luck Surface Area" of opportunities. 🍀 Credit 💳: This idea came to me when I heard Matthew Miller reference "the luck we make in open source" discussing the XZ vulnerability with Noah Chelliah and reminded me of Sahil Bloom's previous pieces on luck.

Linux Foundation is leading fight against fauxpen source. The Linux Foundation is championing true open source principles by addressing the rise of "faux open source" licenses. When companies shift from open-source to more restrictive licenses, it jeopardizes the foundational fabric that businesses rely on. While companies are free to change their licenses, abrupt changes without warning or reasonable timelines can feel like a betrayal. By supporting community forks, the Foundation ensures that anyone can confidently use open-source to build and grow their businesses. https://lnkd.in/gFbwedMW

🚀 Excited to share my latest work on configuring iptables for enhanced security and traffic management! 🔒 I've been fine-tuning our iptables rules in a lab environment using an Ubuntu VM to ensure a robust and secure setup. Here's a quick rundown of what I've accomplished: 1. SSH Security: Configured rules to secure SSH traffic on port 22. 2. Loopback Interface: Properly handled the loopback interface to allow internal communication. 3. DNS Handling: Allowed both TCP and UDP traffic on port 53 for DNS resolution. 4. HTTP/HTTPS Access: Ensured seamless access to web services by allowing traffic on ports 80 and 443. 5. Default Policy: Set the default policy for INPUT, OUTPUT, and FORWARD chains to DROP, enhancing our security posture. 6. Logging: Created a dedicated chain for logging all activities, directing logs to /var/log/messages for monitoring and diagnostics. Looking forward to any feedback or suggestions from the community! #Security #Networking #iptables #Linux #SysAdmin #DevOps #IT #Ubuntu #LabEnvironment 😌 Guys you can check my site for notes

Really interesting approach. My sort of summary of the key winning helix takeaway from the slides: Organizations engaging actively with open source communties results in sustainable communities, which in turn contributes to secure software for the organizations.

Introducing Rodeo Rodeo's primary purpose is to bypass CORS especially when building an SSR application which ships without native form submission. As I explained on the repository's home page "Rodeo is a straightforward yet powerful HTTP reverse proxy server designed to circumvent Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) restrictions." Its primary function is to intercept incoming HTTP requests and efficiently route them to various servers based on the specific request path. By doing so, Rodeo enables seamless communication between client-side applications and backend servers, regardless of their origin or domain. Rodeo is currently configurable through a toml and a json file and it's built as a CLI from the ground UP in #Rust I started building Rodeo sometime last year when I explored the possibilities of a Proxy server in Rust. Rodeo has since grown up a useful tool at my current workspace. the source code is publicly available at https://lnkd.in/gzYab9J9

The xz Utils case should be a wake-up call for any organisation using open-source components in their code. The Linux world came perilously close to enabling a likely nation-state actor to launch remote code execution attacks at will on users. Phil Muncaster has investigated the case in closer depth to reveal: ✔ How the xz Utils attack worked and why it will happen again ✔What the open source industry needs to do in response ✔How CISOs can keep their organisation safe For individual security teams, the key will be gaining visibility into open source components and dependencies, and layering up defence-in-depth. Read on to discover how 👇 https://lnkd.in/eKbASFCa 🗣 Jamie Scott- Endor Labs, Christopher Hodson- Cyberhaven, Andrew Rose- SoSafe #xzutils #opensource #supplychain #Linux

It's been 5 months since Hashicorp changed their license from MPL to BSL. Terraform was forked into OpenTofu, Vault was forked into OpenBau and supported by the Linux Foundation. But no news about the future of the last MPL opensourced Hashicorp Nomad and Consul for a fork. So i had decided to create OpenNood (Nomad) and OpenHotPot (Consul) I've opened a discussion board on the OpenNood and OpenHotPot Github Repositories and i had also start contacting organisations that might be interested in moving forward for an opensource continuition of those two great opensource products. Welcome all to the repositories to discuss or add new issues to your concerns and ideas. OpenNood (pun on Noodle, No-mad) - Nomad: https://lnkd.in/eq8xXy2j OpenHotPot - Consul: https://lnkd.in/ePHdh8PG I'm starting with updating dependencies to fix security issues from the last opensource versions and see how i can triage and fix bugs. #hashicorp #nomad #consul #opensource

Hi LinkedIn Family! 😀 I recently published a blog post exploring the Fedora Project and Linux 🚀. It's an overview into open-source with Fedora, focusing on the core of Fedora and its welcoming community for beginners. 📌I invite you to read my post and share your thoughts . Stay tuned for more insights into open-source technology! Check it out, and let me know what you think! #FedoraProject #opensource #Linux #FOSS
