They suck if you have to go through them a bunch of times, but the first set that I did was really illuminating to the settings available on systems. I know there has always been the opinion that Linux is more secure than Windows (and Mac is more secure than Linux), but my experience with this claim is different. I understand Apple devices to be amongst the worst... Either way, more than the OS, applications are where a lot of vulns exist. Windows systems are certainly more targeted, and the user-base is usually of a different caliber than Linux users (Linux users tend to learn a bit more than your typical end user).

Perhaps we should have a presentation on improving our security.<br clear="none">

We do have many security presentations up from the before times,<br clear="none">
especially if you look at Aaron's security series.<br clear="none">
