Security News Resources

reverse · 10-28-2007, 02:51 PM

Hello.

I would like to keep up with the latest, *public*, news regarding computer security -- bugs, fixes, etc. - preferably the more technical the better, and preferably a 'serious' source.

Basically I suppose I am looking for the 'digg' equivalent(s) for people who are serious about security.

As part of said resources I'd like anything from mailing lists and forums to magazines.

I suppose Linux and BSD security is what concerns me most, however I'd like to keep up with security concerning other platforms as well.

It sounds like you would like SecurityFocus.

Thanks, I was kind of aware of that one though. Any others?

Well perhaps you could provide a brief list of the ones you are already "kind of aware of" so that we don't need to go through this routine?

securityfocus is pretty much it.

Hi

http://secunia.com/ has a good list of applications and security patches.

I'm more into mailing lists like the ones SF's has like Full disclosure and incidents, SANS' @RISK, Securiteam.com, Secunia of course, Linuxsecurity.com's Linux Advisory Watch, US-CERT. (Mind you, not all are that fast.) I'll try 'n top that off with a few boards and weblogs like Matasano, Schneier, you know.
