 | | Because site security on the Internet is interdependent, a compromised computer not only creates problems for the computer's owner, but it is also a threat to other sites on the Internet. | | | Computer security is the process of preventing and detecting unauthorized use of your computer. | | | As a result, it is up to you to take reasonable precautions to secure your computers from accidental or intentional misuse. |

| | We are not so much looking for security holes, as we are looking for basic software bugs, and if years later someone discovers the problem used to be a security issue, and we fixed it because it was just a bug, well, all the better. | | | The process we follow to increase security is simply a comprehensive file-by-file analysis of every critical software component. | | | Hence most of the security problems that we encountered were fixed before our 2.1 release, and then a far smaller number needed fixing for our 2.2 release. |

| | Online Security: hacking, cracking, phreaking, intelligence services |
| | To understand something about techniques for securing a computer system, it is important to first understand the various types of "attacks" that can be made against it. | | | Other computer security writers suggest that, since an attacker using a network need know nothing about you or what you have on your computer, attacker motivation is inherently impossible to determine beyond guessing. | | | Most current real-world computer security efforts focus on external threats, and generally treat the computer system itself as a trusted system. |
