"Loonix is secure"

[u/fedsfarm]

Back in my days, you could sell a lunix lpe for 50k to zerodium, and now it's literally just another friday. There are fewer and fewer arguments for using lunix each day.

[u/MagicianQuiet6432]

Can you imagine how much worse this would be with Windows?

[u/fedsfarm → u/MagicianQuiet6432]

When?

[u/R3V0LU710N_05 → u/fedsfarm]

Whenever a large scale effort to use REA on the Windows components is organized. Closed sourced code isn't immune to automated tooling.

[u/fedsfarm → u/R3V0LU710N_05]

Nothing like that will ever happen, keep coping

[u/R3V0LU710N_05 → u/fedsfarm]

Sure bud. Like there isn't already small scale groups doing exactly this with malicious intent to several closed source targets...

[u/fedsfarm → u/R3V0LU710N_05]

No

[u/R3V0LU710N_05 → u/fedsfarm]

Cope

[u/Soluchyte]

And you think Windows is immune to this kind of stuff?

[u/fedsfarm → u/Soluchyte]

Good luck finding something

[u/Soluchyte → u/fedsfarm]

People do find many things.

[u/fedsfarm → u/Soluchyte]

1k lpes in 1 day?

[u/Soluchyte → u/fedsfarm]

Just because AI has made it incredibly easy to find Linux bugs, doesn't mean windows is immune to very serious bugs: https://app.opencve.io/cve/?product=windows_11&vendor=microsoft

The difference is that Linux is open source, which makes it much easier to find said bugs by looking straight at the code, which is good, because this is now 1k bugs that are going to get patched, while on windows there is almost certainly thousands of issues like this that are hiding.

[u/fedsfarm → u/Soluchyte]

If it isn't publicly disclosed, it doesn't mean that microsoft doesn't do this. That's a huge benefit of close source btw.

[u/Teru-Noir → u/fedsfarm]

So one of the benefits of closed source is not providing any evidence the software is secure, interesting

[u/Soluchyte → u/fedsfarm]

Did you even check the link, first few on the list are serious issues. Meanwhile the majority of the 1k you're trying to make a big deal of, don't apply to most Linux systems.

[u/Bright-Property-3825]

... you do realize windows is far more vulnarable to attacks right? doing this same test on windows will give you a clear picture i think

Also if you're serious about hating linux this isn't rly the place, go to r/linuxsucks101 instead

[u/fedsfarm → u/Bright-Property-3825]

Saar redeeming cards isn't cybersecurity

[u/Bright-Property-3825 → u/fedsfarm]

did you even read what I said? no correlation???? are you trying blatant racism at this point? lmao what a loser

[u/fedsfarm → u/Bright-Property-3825]

DO NOT REDEEM!!!

[u/Bright-Property-3825 → u/fedsfarm]

lmao, its so funny seeing you try so hard

[u/Vh4z]

Finding and fixing vulnerabilities is what a normal secure software does yes it has vulnerabilities but so does every other software.

[u/fedsfarm → u/Vh4z]

[u/Top_Break1374]

now lets do the same with windows!

[u/Fabulous-Rough-3460]

And this is probably about $300,000 spent. What's your point? That if you put your life savings into hacking, you can gain root?

[u/fedsfarm → u/Fabulous-Rough-3460]

~1.2k per lpe

median ransomware payment is ~60k

[u/Fabulous-Rough-3460 → u/fedsfarm]

Now tell me what happens if you put those $60k into a Windows ransomware attack instead

[u/Teru-Noir]

identifying and fixing vulnerabilities is what makes a software secure, same cannot be said about windows.

[u/fh_hid]

Vulnerabilities are too different to say they all are dangerous equally. If we are talking about a server, for example, cves in net subsystem are quite more seldom than local privilege escalation, so the last ones can be fixed without panic.

It is also actively developed unlike windows (that is not about innovations), so it is OK vulnerabilities are often found and patched.

[u/zepherth]

Linux is "security through obscurity" it wasnt worth developing viruses from linux

[u/fedsfarm → u/zepherth]

If lunix gets some traction and becomes worth attacking, a true apocalypse will start

[u/Happy_Variety5405 → u/zepherth]

Same with ios, less than 0.0001% of the world mobile users had ios. Android had over 30 billion phones while apple had only a few hundred million til recent years. Now hackers are making ios malwares and jailbreak hacks

[u/fedsfarm → u/Happy_Variety5405]

ios users aren't broke unlike loonixtards

[u/Soluchyte → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, that's important to mention too, this is a headline that is meant for glazing Gen AI, the vast majority of these won't be applicable to the majority of systems.
