I hear they exist, but those I've read about seem to have been developed as a proof of concept rather than a serious threat. Much more important is to keep tight control of logins from outside your network. Only allow SSH, don't allow it to the root account, only allow it using token (not password) access, and run fail2ban. And keep SElinux enabled and enforcing. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
