A Taste of Computer Security
When you get a chance, check out ‘A Taste of Computer Security’. It’s long, it’s all in HTML, it’s not an easy read. But I think it’s worth the effort. There is a lot of information about the history of computer security, and some lesson’s to be learned. This document represents a lot of work, and kudos to the people who wrote it, but I wish they have a ‘printer-friendly’ version. I’ve flipped through the whole thing, read the section on the *nix/Windows holy wars, and now I’m working on reading it from front to back. I have to agree with the authors feeling that the *nix/Windows arguments are mostly a bunch of hot air. I’m an agnostic when it comes to OS, though I’m slowly coming to prefer command line Linux for most of my power apps.
