Windows and Linux security

The greatest use of aircraft invented for civilian use is to save time and make transportation more convenient and fast. But every time we talk about a plane, it doesn't seem to be about how much time it saves to fly from China to the United States, but about its unquestionable security. This seems to argue with everyone about which of Windows and Linux is better, and will often argue over security. Of course, don't get me wrong. Taking a plane is still the safest way of transportation. However, I have been excited about the security of Windows and Linux. My personal understanding is as follows.

Windows Security Support

A common saying on Windows er is "I Have Been streaking for more than a year without seeing half of the virus, and all my viruses are white ". Blame Windows for its prevalence and user level problems. Many people think that Linux does not have many popular viruses because (compared with Windows) is not popular and many versions are released. In the domestic network environment, what hackers are worth stealing depends on Windows systems, such as QQ numbers and online banking accounts. Because Windows kernels are often used in multiple versions, therefore, the desktop and server versions are vulnerable to the same vulnerabilities and attacks.

Linux security support

Linux is open-source, so Linuxer thinks that because of the open-source Linux, bugs in Linux will soon be discovered. In addition, since the Linux system started from the server in the early days, it was rarely used by common users. Most users were network administrators who had professional training, and users were professional, naturally, Linux is relatively secure. It is often said that operating systems such as OpenBSD are often hailed as the safest operating system. If you throw the system to a small computer, it is estimated that the system will not start normally in half an hour.

Speaking of this, we have to go back and review the security of the operating system as a computer software?

Just like an airplane invented for civilian use, its biggest use is to save time and make the transportation more convenient and fast. But every time we talk about a plane, it doesn't seem to be about how much it will save from flying from China to the United States, but about its unquestionable security. This seems to argue with everyone about which of Windows and Linux is better, and will often argue over security.

Yes, whether it's Windows or Linux, it's mainly applicable. If your girlfriend wants to play QQ games, is the security of landlords Linux useful to her? Or you frequently update an EMAIL server that does not require a browser because of a BUG in IE. If you need a free WEB server, Linux is undoubtedly your best choice. If you are the Internet cafe owner, Are you still planning to provide the latest Ubuntu for everyone to experience?

At this time, some people said that Windows has a server version and Linux has a server version. Why can't we compare them? Even a secure system cannot be completely BUG-free. Security is only relatively temporary.

Assume that if you are a common non-Internet Enterprise Manager and buy a Windows Server version, you can update the patch in a timely and automatic manner no matter whether you can discover new bugs. You can also install a Linux instance. You can only search for bugs on the day, or report to the Linux community, and then wait for the patch to arrive? In addition, if you are an avid computer enthusiast and you don't have to wait, you can find the vulnerability and fix the BUG to a certain extent. How do you choose? Or are you an ASP programmer or a PHP programmer? Which system is important or not security?

Even if some users of Windows and Linux overlap, to be honest, most of the problems have little to do with security. Enterprises that actually use the server version are still looking at the cost. as long as these enterprises do a good job of backup and pay attention to security dynamics, the cost of security costs is not as much as imagined.

At last, the problem was not about tools, but the person who used them. It is useless to simply discuss whether a tool is easy to use. It is only for you or in a certain situation. In this discussion, there may be only two people with different opinions. Aside from applicability, discussing security is meaningless. I think of the online debate over Windows and Linux.

A Jun: You asked A Tom to install A Windows server and A Uboutu to check which system has more viruses each month.

B Jun: Maybe after a month, Uboutu has not been opened more than twice. Because there is no QQ, you cannot activate online banking.

C jun: Then the white QQ and online banking accounts were stolen.

D Jun: At last, Tom went back to use his overlord.
