What do you mean by "monitoring security spaces"? Are you frequently refreshing the bug boards of every library your applications and OS uses?

- rowanG077 3y agoNot all. But I'd wager it's not uncommon for a lot of linux people to periodically check their most used software with the largest attack surfaces. Browsers, document viewers/editors, mail clients, decompressors etc.
- nikodunk 3y agoWe do not :)
- Teknoman117 3y agoI would definitely like to say I do but I definitely do not.
- bandrami 3y agoI mean, I don't do it for my home computer, but I do it for the fleet of computers I manage at work because someone gives me money to do that.
- thrwawy74 3y agoI'm very interested in some sort of daemon that regularly scans for vulnerable binaries/libraries and produces desktop notifications about this and/or hosts a web interface to review issues. I do use clamav for malicious files, but bug advisories/vulnerabilities are another area I wish I could make convenient to monitor for personal computing. I've seen things like Splunk reports in enterprise settings, but not for personal 'digital hygiene' Anybody have a list of open source solutions here?
- phone8675309 3y agoThis sounds like a fit for NESSUS
- bandrami 3y agoEvery SIEM does something like that, but somebody has to actually look at the screen and take actions based on it, and that's what my job is.
- bluGill 3y agoNo, I trust my distribution to do that for me, and more importantly update libraries as needed. With snap and flatpack I have to trust every single upstream to keep track as if there is a problem i'm vulnerable until everyone updates.
- bandrami 3y agoI'm a sysadmin, and that's a big part of the job, yes.
