Wrong. Windows has had, and probably still has, several vulnerabilities that can be exploited just because the system is on and there is a connection to it (either visible to the Internet or an exploited device on the network).

I think OSX has had some similar exploits. Linux has remarkably few of this nature.

Phew, fixed that for you.

Remember, it isn't an exploit. It doesn't exploit any pieces of software or kernel modules or anything. It just software that either you install in an exploited application or comes through some other exploited application, like a browser, to be run on your system.

>Windows has vulnerabilities
Of course it does. Every system has. That's why system administrators implement protection mechanisms. That's why you have antiviruses and firewalls. That's why you implement mitigations (which Linux doesn't have btw).

>Linux has remarkably few of this nature
How'd you know? Linux has plenty of problems, just they seldom are found because nobody uses it. There is much more incentive to hack Windows instead because it's the de facto standard operating system in the world.

>>57245429
>just they seldom are found because nobody uses it.
Quite the contrary, 90% of Linux patches are security fixes. This is where open source development excel.

>There is much more incentive to hack Windows instead because it's the de facto standard operating system in the world.
There are Linux systems running on every level on every part of the infrastructure, and you seriously believe there is no incentive to find and exploit vulnerabilities in Linux?

Are you seriously this deluded?

What "other software" are you referring to. netfilter can enqueue packets in different queues, yes, but the necessary software to identify different applications based on flows are shipped with a fucking vanilla Linux distro

That's irrelevant though.

The argument isn't/wasn't that Windows dominates over Linux for web servers, but rather that 99% of websites run on Linux.

Some other things that need bearing in mind as well, though, is that a lot of websites run on shared hosting, and while the software the web server is running on is often Linux it is very often being run in VMs on Windows Servers.

So there could be debate there as to which you you designate as being the server.

>>57244446

What's the point of this shitpost? >>57246098

>>57244656
No, a couple arch morons post BUT WINDERS arguments, or non-arguments as the case may be.

Actual GNU/Linux users that don't have to constantly go into damage control mode to defend something like the AUR, where shit like this backdoor could thrive, realize that malware happens. It happens more for Windows because the market share is greater, but that doesn't make GNU/Linux somehow invulnerable.

The thing is, all GNU/Linux machines have the potential to be twice as insecure as Windows. It comes down to the user, and the distribution. Large distros like ubuntu and fedora have massive money behind them with security teams to keep them as secure as they can, but even then it's up to the user to research what they're installing and not enable whole repositories of unaudited, user created packages because it's easier than installing the audited, safe(r) software manually. Your OS is only as secure as you make it.

You can download third-party software, obviously don't download programmes which demands root access to use some IRC barely anybody has ever heard of. Just like in Windows, where you can download third-party software. But nobody complains that there is no third-party support for Windows when they download freenovirusmp3file.exe, right?

>>57246009

>implying that's what I said

Shit like the AUR and adding random PPAs on ubuntu = bad.

Not being a lazy fuck and installing the packages from source, auditing them yourself or getting them from a source that audits them = good.

You can install anything you damn well please, but if you're lazy and backdoor yourself because you didn't want to compile it yourself, it's your own damn fault.

Let's just outweigh this for you.

>>57246119
Talking about trojans as a real security concern is completely stupid. There's nothing an OS itself can do about dumb users installing malware on their machines short of what Apple is doing with Gatekeeper.

Anyone who thinks that trojans existing on a platform is somehow a sign of said platform is unsecure is ether clueless, stupid or trolling. It's that simple.

>>57246175
Thank you. That's exactly what I was trying to say, just a lot less verbose.

>>57246119
>It happens more for Windows because the market share is greater
it happens more for windows proportionally because the OS itself has no secure mechanism for installing software. none. zero mechanism for curation either, which alone would stop the majority of malware.

the AUR argument is a solid one but so long as you stick to your distro's repos (which, for the big ones at least, should include 99% of the shit normalfags need) you're extremely unlikely to get infected. I can think of one occurrence of this, when Mint's website was hacked and one of their install images shipped with malware.

for instance, android users are just as numerous and clueless yet they don't get infected nearly as often. and the OS isn't a walled garden either. this is because nearly all of them get software directly from the play store, where crapware is voted down and malware is outright banned when it's found out.

tl;dr the popularity argument is shit.

>>57246196

Don't say this against Microsoft. Installing ancient stuff on windows is a real pain the ass right know and i don't want to get it any harder.

As I said, Microsoft has made sure that if a company uses windows on the desktop, they have to have a windows server back end to support it. With windows having a stranglehold on the desktop market it's really no wonder they have a market share that high in servers required to support them.

this but you forget that most of the "user does something" steps are done automatically by the OS, as well as windows automatically installs "drivers" to just connected devices (unless they don't have a proper certificate)

>>57246418

Why do you call it stranglehold? Do you call Linux's dominance of the supercomputer market a stranglehold too?

Again, companies are free to choose any operating systems for either their desktops or servers. They deliberately choose Windows because it is better.

The Trojan merely uses IRC as a command and control channel for the botnet, you using IRC or not is completely irrelevant.

See security risk for linux article.
Read up on it.
[1] It's already patched.
[2] It's actually a windows vulnerability that creates a botnet army that can take a linux server offline. Gets listed as "effects windows and linux" by fud happy anti-virus vendor.
[3] It's shit like this
After a while you see "linux security hole" stories and just keep scrolling.
pls stop crying wolf.

what is the "exploit" here exactly?

>>57246091
A big company isn't going to distribute this. But hey, you don't need to trust them.

Just run their software on an unprivileged account (or even in a docker container or such).

It won't have access to more than it should need to, including files to access/delete. Ya, it's easy to manage that reasonably well, your package manager almost certainly does create such accounts by default for web stuff and many other servers, anyhow.

>>57246463
>Why do you call it stranglehold?
For the simple reason that it's very much related to availability of Microsoft software like Office, which is only available on Windows and OSX, but not on Linux. As for supercomputing none of it is really vendor bound as most supercomputing software is open source and unlike Office, it can be adapted to pretty much any platform the customer wants to.

As I said, if they use Office they have to use Windows or OSX on the desktop and if they use Windows on the desktop they have to have a Windows server backend to support it.

>>57250444
> as most supercomputing software is open source
It *became* such mostly because of Linux' fairly strongly copyleft user base and the kernel parts of supercomputer projects legally requiring to do that for compliance reasons anyhow (even if more of supercomputing has moved back into user space again).

So there's at least OS X as a choice. But there's other Office suites around. Microsoft's is just superior.

>most supercomputing software is open source and unlike Office, it can be adapted to pretty much any platform the customer wants to
There are open source alternatives to Microsoft Office too.

>if they use Office they have to use Windows or OSX on the desktop and if they use Windows on the desktop they have to have a Windows server backend to support it
But they don't have to use Office and they don't have to use Windows. No one is forcing them.
