Hello, Recently some friends of mine have started to cite "studies" that assert Unix/Linux operating systems are now the most frequently attacked platforms. My friends are not without bias, they work for a training firm that almost exclusively sells training for Microsoft-based platforms/applications. Now my friends cannot cite the actual studies, and I am highly skeptical of their claims. After about an hour of goggling, I could find nothing on the web to support such claims. However, my friends are not liars, and I believe they have information from "somewhere". Is anyone aware of the existence of studies of this nature? I would like to examine these data in an attempt to uncover bias or other obfuscation that may be present. Conversely, if someone has pointers to independent security analysis of Operating Systems/Applications that does not clearly advocate one platform over the other, I'd like to know about that as well. -- Regards, Doug
