Der Jargon von Freiheit: 60 Wörter und Phrasen
24. Juli 2010
Terry Hancock beschreibt/erklärt in seinem Artikel (in en) bei FREE SOFTWARE MAGAZINE den Jargon von »free software«, »shareware«, »demoware«, »adware«, »software freedom«, »copyleft« usw..
What exactly does it mean when Richard Stallman says that the Creative Commons’ Attribution-ShareAlike license has a “Weak Copyleft”? Why exactly is it that “Freeware” and “Non-Free Software” mean the same thing, while “Free Software” is something else entirely? And what is this business with “Free Beer”, and where can I get some? If you’ve asked yourself these questions, this column is for you.
There’s a great deal of jargon surrounding the various cultures and ideas around software freedom. I’m going to take you on a brief tour to try to make some sense out of the language. Each set of terms arises from a particular philosophy and movement of people, so it’ll also be necessary to introduce some of those movements.

Damn Vulnerable Linux – The most vulnerable and exploitable operating system ever!
17. Juli 2010
Für Testzwecke – und nur dafür! – hat Dr. Thorsten Schneider eine Distributuion zusammengestellt – Damn Vulnerable Linux (er nennt sie »My FREE ugly distro«).
Its developers have spent hours stuffing it with broken, ill-configured, outdated, and exploitable software that makes it vulnerable to attacks. DVL isn’t built to run on your desktop – it’s a learning tool for security students.
The main idea behind DVL was to build up a training system that I could use for my university lectures. My goal was to design a Linux system that was as vulnerable as possible, to teach topics such as reverse code engineering, buffer overflows, shellcode development, Web exploitation, and SQL injection.
Wer in einer abgeschirmten Umgebung etwas über Sicherheit lernen will, sollte VDL probieren. Hier gibt es das System im Download.
