The #1 Password Strength Tool. Trusted and used by millions.

ModSecurity is an open source, cross-platform web application firewall (WAF) module. Known as the “Swiss Army Knife” of WAFs, it enables web application defenders to gain visibility into HTTP(S) traffic and provides a power rules language and API to implement advanced protections.
In the end, the choice between Debian and Red Hat isn’t just about corporate influence versus community-driven development. It’s also a choice between a system that assumes the best and one that prepares for the worst. Unfortunately in today’s highly connected world, pessimism is a necessity.
Linux Access Control Lists, or ACLs, can take some getting used to, but they're invaluable for getting a finer-grained control of your Linux filesystem permissions.
The ICO said hackers had access to the Electoral Commissions' systems for over a year. It was only spotted when an employee reported that spam emails were being sent from the commission's own email server.
