About
Our History
LinuxSecurity.com was first launched in 1996 by a handful of Open
Source enthusiasts and security experts who recognized a void in the
availability of accurate and insightful news relating to open source
security issues. Led by Dave Wreski, who currently serves as chief
executive officer of Guardian Digital, this group has grown into a
global network of collaborators who devote their time to gathering
and publicizing the latest security news, advisories and reports relevant
to the Linux community. Headquartered in Guardian Digital's offices
in Allendale, New Jersey, LinuxSecurity.com's editorial and web development
staff also creates feature articles, commentaries and surveys designed
to keep readers informed of the latest Linux advancements and to promote
the general growth of Linux around the world.
Who We Are
Having created a site that satisfies the needs of both IT professionals
- including engineers, programmers, designers and system administrators
- and those individuals seeking to learn more about security and open
source, LinuxSecurity.com has grown to encompass not only this website
but also two leading industry email newsletters, Linux Security Newsletter
and Security Advisories Weekly. With more than 16,000 subscribers,
these newsletters represent yet another opportunity to help further
the advocacy and adoption of Linux by users everywhere.
LinuxSecurity.com is owned and maintained by Guardian Digital. As
a proud member and contributor to the Linux community, Guardian Digital
devotes the site's advertising revenues to covering the costs of maintaining
the site to ensure access to LinuxSecurity.com will always be freely
available to everyone.
Our Feature Writers
Linuxsecurity.com is very happy to include these writers as a part of the Linuxsecurity team:
Ryan W. Maple
An avid Linux and security development professional, Ryan has been using Linux to lock down computer systems since way back in 1996. Having received his BS in Computer Science from the University of Delaware, he has been with the Linuxsecurity.com team for almost a decade, during which time he has done more than his fair share of programming with his favorite language - Perl. In addition, he likes #2 Philips Head Screwdrivers (always handy), counts /exec echo "+ +" > ~/.rhosts as his favorite hack, and runs Ubuntu (desktop) and EnGarde Linux (server).
When he's not developing or coding, Ryan enjoys brewing his own beer and learning how to play the guitar.
Eckie Silapaswang
Haling from a BA in Computer Science at Rutgers, Eckie has been using Linux for up over five years. Over that time, he has grown to favor the tool figlet and the language Ruby as his favorites. He has been with the Linuxsecurity team about one year, where he happily uses any hack that returns plain text, in addition to his new favorite tool PSAD. Also, he runs Ubuntu (desktop) and EnGarde (server) as his current set-up.
On his own time, Eckie enjoys mixed martial arts, guitar and CSI.
Bill Keys
Bill is an experienced developer with all things open source and holds a BS in Computer Science with a minor in Math from SUNY Plattsburgh. Bill has been utilizing his skills with the Linuxsecurity team for more than year now, and holds the duo of Python and Perl as his tools of choice. And, like the rest of the Linuxsecurity team, Bill also runs Ubuntu for his desktop and EnGarde Linux for his server.
Aside from development, Bill enjoys juggling, hiking and being in and around nature.
