layer of OS-SDB that is about open source software layer. The Open Source Initiative’s definition of open source software is: “software that must be distributed under a license that guarantees the right to read, redistribute, modify, and use the software freely” [20]. “OSS is developed, tested, or improved through public collaboration and distributed with the idea that the must be shared with others, ensuring an open future collaboration”[21]. The definition of open source software provides the essential

The History and Philosophy of Open Source The open source movement was born in 1984, at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab when Richard M. Stallman quit his position at the university to begin the GNU Project. Having grown tired of seeing his colleagues being hired off by corporations and signing nondisclosure agreements for their work, he set off to create a completely free, open operating system. Though he specialized in the field, building such a system from the ground up is nearly impossible

fact, all the mottoes of free software development have their counterparts in the theory of democracy and open society; “with enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow” is merely the most obvious example. Karl Popper would have cheered.57 The importance of open-source software is not that it introduces us to a wholly new idea; it is that it makes us see clearly a very old idea. With open source the technology was novel, the production process was transparent, and the result of that process was a “product”

Open Source Intelligence Open Source Intelligence is one of the most inquired and disputed about source in the Intelligence Community within the last 10 years due to the advances in technology. Many people feel that it is a reliable and much needed source for many reason including; cost effectiveness, vas number of sources, and availability. The opposing half could argue almost the exact points in their favor. With Open Source Intelligence, there are many possibilities for civilians to get involved

operating system is open source or closed source. Operating systems are created with programming code. Programmers are responsible for writing the source code, which is compiled into executable code. This executable code is what creates the product ran on computers. An open source system is a system in which the source code is visible. A closed source system keeps the source code hidden. System Differences There are more

Sources of vulnerabilities can come from internal and external attack vectors; it can also stem from lack of knowledge. Free and open source software offer significate benefits to an organization, which can also pose a risk that can allow attackers to gain access to vital information on the network server. Many security professionals use open source software to fast-track transport of digital content. Open source application has many drawbacks, the fact that public source application is free for

In this task, I will be looking at some open source software for a database server, Web server, file server, SMTP server, and an LDAP server. I will go over a few in each category and then make my recommendations based on the stability and security of the software as it relates to the need of the First World Bank. First, I will be looking at some open source software for the database server. I am going to be at the two that I consider be our organization’s best options. Those two are MySQL

Introduction This lecture was given by Dr. David Mirza Ahmad one of chief mentors of Subgraph, which is a open-source security start-up based out in Montreal. The talk was based on Kerchoff’s principle which states “the security of any cryptographic system does not rest in its secrecy; it must be able to fall into the enemy’s hand without inconvenience” [1]. The kerchoff’s principle underlines the fact that free software should be having reasonably good security. This fact is well understood

Milestone 12: Case Study—Eclipse Yujia Xie I. Introduction Eclipse is an open source Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for almost every computer programming language over a dozen platforms (Mac, Linux, Windows, etc.). In fact, it is one of the most popular IDEs nowadays for multiple programming languages, especially Java. Back in 2001, Eclipse 1.0 came out as a framework, a flexible architecture that served as the building tool for developers, providing a variety of accessible toolkits, private

Using Open Source Software as a Small Business Small businesses have to be smart with their money. Your resources are limited and you can’t afford to spend a lot of time testing and trialling different technologies. However, surviving in the modern world without technology is nearly impossible. Therefore, small businesses must be able to latch on to any opportunity they find and make the most of software around them. For this, open source software is the best possible option. But what is open source
