Jose Nazario discusses worms

Contributed by jolan on from the p-h-d dept.

Thanks to multiple people for letting us know that Jose Nazario, former OpenBSD committer and deadly.org abandoner editor was recently interviewed about Internet worms.

A nod to OpenBSD's layered security model is made and so we feel entitled to make a nod back to Jose and this article ;)

          What was that email addres again ?

        True, and that was the era when people ran tons of daemons without giving it any second thought. With OpenBSD's few-ports-open approach, privsep, etc. etc, it's reasonable to say that no such worm will appear for OpenBSD anytime soon.

        There seem to be a lot that target Linux though. And then there are those that try to brute force SSH.
