I'm just pointing out an oddity in your choice to point out what security professionals use. There would have been nothing odd if you had decided not to list their OS choices.
- tptacek 18y agoIt's definitely a lot more fun to code security tools on Unix than on Windows --- though I'm having a lot of luck with Ruby on Windows for debugging and anti-reversing work. You're right, it is odd. But it's not a testament to Windows security. If security is what counted, we'd be using Linux or FreeBSD. We're not; we're using an OS that ships with SUIDs that run commands as root for you. We use it because we like it.
- Tamerlin 18y agoNo, we'd be using MVS, VMS, Nonstop, and their competition, not UNIX or Linux if security were important enough to us... or at least those of us who are well-informed enough to know the difference.
