dal blog di bruce schneier [1] che cita a sua volta l'honeynet project[2]:
"Recent data from our honeynet sensor grid reveals that the average life
expectancy to compromise for an unpatched Linux system has increased
from 72 hours to 3 months. This means that a unpatched Linux system with
commonly used configurations (such as server builds of RedHat 9.0 or
Suse 6.2) have an online mean life expectancy of 3 months before being
successfully compromised."
-
This is much greater than that of Windows systems, which have average
life expectancies on the order of a few minutes.
[...]
Why? My guess is a combination of two reasons. One, Linux is that much
more secure than Windows. Two, the bad guys are focusing on Windows --
more bang for the buck.
