+ Is Symantec's Vista Security Assessment Credible?, Microsoft Watch, February 28, 2007
+
+ This paper is nominally about the relationship between Symantec and Microsoft,
+ talking about a white paper released by the former.
+ But it's quite revealing about Microsoft itself.
+ "Even Microsoft... now acknowledges that UAC (User Account Control) -
+ Vista's most [high-]profile security feature - is vulnerable to subversion,
+ particularly through social-engineering tactics."
+ And while the Symantec report says some good things about Vista security,
+ "its criticisms are brutal - for their clarity and foreboding:
+
+ "Many of the technologies that Microsoft has employed to bolster
+ the security of Windows Vista are not new. In fact, most are
+ derived from the groundwork originally laid by open-source
+ operating systems such as Linux and OpenBSD, the PaX and
+ Stackguard projects, as well as numerous academic publications....
+ The majority of these technologies first appeared in Windows
+ XP SP2 [Service Pack 2]. Windows XP SP2, at the time of its
+ release, was also billed as the most secure version of Windows."
+
+ So remember, folks, if it's about security, you may well have heard it
+ here first, long before Microsoft "invented" it.

+ Greylisting with PF, O'Reilly onLAMP, January 18, 2007
+
+ This onLAMP article by Dan Langille leads you through the process of
+ setting up greylisting using OpenBSSD's pf and spamd, which has now been ported
+ to most other BSD systems. The article is
+ quite detailed, but readers should ignore the FreeBSD-specific stuff
+ like kldload (OpenBSD uses modload, but, OpenBSD always has pf built-in
+ so you don't need this). Parts of the article are based on Bob Beck's
+ spamd talk at NYCBSDCon.
