Sometimes even on Linux servers, where the best an AV can do is take CPU and IO so that there's less for the malware.

Not only does it ensure your Intel CPU is always enjoying the benefits of TurboBoost, but it also provides a faithful emulation of a 5400 RPM drive when using tmpfs. Marvelous technology. (And if you have a kernel-level problem, don't worry - the enterprise support you're paying so much for won't answer your calls, because McAffe taints the kernel).

The web server that they’re using was not patched, wasn’t updated, so I was able to actually use the known exploit to gain the right access to that machine. [MUSIC] Once I did that, I put an implant down on that machine because it was pretty safe. It was actually a Linux server and the nice thing about Linux is no antivirus, right? I’m not super concerned. Especially because it’s a web server, I don’t worry about a user seeing the screen and using it and see something weird going on. But anyway, so I get down on that box, sit there for a little bit. Everything looks pretty good. There’s not much to see; it’s a web server and it’s got a website on it, got a database back end to it. Not a whole lot going on.
