SecuritySSH is a fantastic way for Linux or UNIX administrators to manage their servers securely from remote locations. It's also the single most attacked service on a UNIX-like system. As a result, some common-sense hardening steps are necessary to keep your hosts secure. For this reason, I will cover some of the most simple to implement steps towards perfect SSH security in this brief article.

Is Linux Really Communist?

ImageWhile I would argue that a piece of software cannot be communist any more than it can practice Roman Catholicism, there are those who would have you believe that Linux (and indeed free software in general) are part of some larger communist agenda. Indeed, it almost seems like a reasonable assumption since the Linux operating system is free software developed by a large community of developers, most of whom are not even being payed for this massive effort. It isn't published by a single corporation like the other popular OS's, and the fact is that both the software itself and the precious trade secrets therein are being given away freely. Certainly, this is merely a ploy to subvert the masses away from the capitalistic software industry? As I will explain, nothing could be further from the truth.

ImageWhen challenged with the inferiority of their favorite OS, a Windows fan might point out one feature or another as proof that their OS is better than the rest. However, they make the critical mistake of confusing secondary functionality with the operating system's core properties. The unfortunate truth is that MS Windows, in its current state, will never be secure, nor can it ever be notably stable or reliable. Fundamental parts of the OS design are to blame for this, so this fact cannot change unless Windows is re-written, nay, redesigned from the ground up.
