Every bug does not have to be fixed in order for a release to be made. It is called risk management and priorities. I’m not getting at you personally, but at the distributors who think that they can fob off the responsibility onto someone else, and merely just bundle up applications without taking any responsibility for what goes into the distribution and the quality of it. If one is not going to fix those errors, then why even have a beta testing phase? with Windows, what ever appears within their product, out of the box, they support – and that includes the technologies they’ve licenced off other companies – you don’t hear them say, “sorry, not our problem, we’ve pushed the bug upstream, so you’ll just have to put up with the security hole for now” – of course not.

If Ubuntu had to fix all upstream’s bugs, they would never finish.īut part of being a distributor is about fixing the errors which your ‘customers’ or ‘user base’ find – if there is a bug which crashes an application whilst doing a normal task – ripping audio within soundjuicer for instance whose responsibility is it? should the distro just ship it to meet a time line knowing full well it has applications which aren’t up to scratch in terms of quality? Regarding pushing bugs upstream: that is a very difficult issue. It is very irresponsible to ship such a popular product without any decent security.Īnd worse still, pushing out a version simply just to meet a ‘delivery date’ – many parts of Ubuntu are clearly very rough around the edge if I was in the position of the project manager, I would have atleast waited until 2.18.2 had been released, merged it into it, then pushed off a couple of RC’s thus reducing the number of upstream related bugs that needed to be corrected. Oh no, heavens to betsy, that nasty hacker knows a system with one port is around!!! Again SSH is not installed by default.ģ) Failed ping. If that is how GRC measures pass fail it is pointless and made to alarm the ignorant masses. Very nice.ġ) failed TCP because SSH (and only SSH, oddly enough not bootp) responded.

But your system wisely remained silent in every way. Some questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to “counter-probe the prober”, thus revealing themselves. From the standpoint of the passing probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on the Internet. Your system ignored and refused to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). Not a single packet - solicited or otherwise - was received from your system as a result of our security probing tests. Your system has achieved a perfect “TruStealth” rating.

Ok, just for the heck of it, I jumped outside my firewall and ran your test: Go for it Ubuntu users, see if you pass simple security tests.
