osx - Hacking and different environments -
For a long time, I wanted to be a safety expert. In fact, I usually want to know everything about a computer I am
So I read something on the virus and different types of environments that you can get. What I've found is that the virus affects Windows computers due to at least the people of Unix, which for some reason use Unix (there is more control over the matrix) and Mac computers are hardly Is affected by the virus. What I think, this is because Apple MacOS basically holds the source under lock and key.
What I wanted to know was: Black Hatts exploited weaknesses in Windows and Unix systems. Obviously because it is targeted for more mainstream use, windows are often exploited, but why is not the advantage of Unix? Source code is available freely, what does it offer?
With it, we move on to the macode. Unless they are employed by Apple (I think), no source code can be viewed, and with any software, it is bound to vulnerabilities, but due to the lack of availability of code, Mac OS Has made it more difficult? Is it even worth it? I have also read that Windows is the main target for viruses and black hats because such a large percentage of the population uses it.
Can someone point in a direction where I can get some good white papers of good security? *>
Regarding Windows, there are clear majority desktop users who know less than a desktop user, which is Linux. In this way Windows users attack where they spend most of their time, the best option is available, and it is on web-reading email that the attachment and surfing on the web are not very cautious. OS X has a market share of approximately 4.5% [1], spreading a worm designed to take advantage of weaknesses in Windows makes it much more attractive because their market share is 93.90%.
Both Windows and OS X proprietary binary running OS X not are more secure because of this, they can both be reverse engineers looking for a hole. In some Farek [2] versions OS X has very interesting problems.
However, due to that factor Windows is designed to be used primarily for those with lesser knowledge ("everyone"). Their motto "It just works" OS X has a lot of difference in that aspect, but Mac OS X is a more expensive way than a PC running Windows. OS X was a major success among professional graphic artists and we still have this impressive opinion. A Mac just is not worth it for most people, who only need a browser, Solitaire and MSN.
Statistics about the use of vulnerabilities and viruses do not necessarily prove that which system design has the worst system, they only show which systems are being used most , And it is logical that the most popular systems have got the most benefit.
