Jaunty Jackalope is On

Yesterday Jaunty is really released. Now let's try it on and get the fastest Ubuntu boot with ext4.

welcome to utux-utux

The place where you can get any news, tipsn and tutorials about linux. I'cant explain any further informations about this site. Just open the tux image on the left side. ^_^

Samba VScan


Samba is the only protocol connecting Windows and Linux. And we already knew that Windows is lack of virus, worm, trojan, etc. Of course all of our writeable samba shares may get infected. So what should we do??
We can install antivirus scanner on Windows. But that's not the point because we still get infected from all of our network. So if one of them infected the samba file(s), it will spread all over network.
The cleverest thing we can do is scanning all over the files that will be write to samba. If you asking me how? Here's the answer. We can put antivirus to our samba module. So every file in samba will automatically scanned before. If the file get infected by virus, worm, etc, it will be reject and quarantine automatically. So our samba share won't be infected.
And the how to?? You can read and practice it by yourself here and here.

Antivirus In Linux

Have you ever been ask someone you know about Virus, Malware, Spams, Trojans etc on your WIndows? Or your importing files get corrupted by the virus or something like those? Just leave your Windows and try Linux.
Why were you needed AntiVirus on Linux? Adapted from Linux.com There's no any virus on linux.
I try to explain that permissions on Linux make such tribute unnecessary. Without quibbling over the definitions of viruses and trojans, I tell them that neither can execute on your machine unless you explicitly give them permission to do so.

Permissions on Linux are universal. They cover three things you can do with files: read, write, and execute. Not only that, they come in three levels: for the root user, for the individual user who is signed in, and for the rest of the world. Typically, software that can impact the system as a whole requires root privileges to run.

Microsoft designed Windows to enable outsiders to execute software on your system. The company justifies that design by saying it enriches the user experience if a Web site can do "cool" things on your desktop. It should be clear by now that the only people being enriched by that design decision are those who make a buck providing additional security or repairing the damage to systems caused by it.

Malware in Windows Land is usually spread by email clients, browser bits, or IM clients, which graciously accept the poisoned fruit from others, then neatly deposit it on their masters' systems, where malware authors know it will likely be executed and do their bidding -- without ever asking permission.

Some malware programs require that you open an attachment. Others don't even require that user error. By hook or by crook, malware on Windows often gets executed, infecting the local system first, then spreading itself to others. What a terrible neighborhood. I'm glad I don't live there.

On Linux, there is built-in protection against such craft. Newly deposited files from your email client or Web browser are not given execute privileges. Cleverly renaming executable files as something else doesn't matter, because Linux and its applications don't depend on file extensions to identify the properties of a file, so they won't mistakenly execute malware as they interact with it.

Whether newcomers grok permissions or not, I try to explain the bottom line to them: that because they have chosen Linux, they are now free of having to pay either a security tax up front to protect themselves from malware, or one after the fact to have their systems sterilized after having been infected.
But if you still worry and want to protect your virus you can get this software below installed.
