Security Feeds


Recently several people have inquired about easy and efficient ways to stay on top of what is going on in the security community. The answer of course is by aggregating all of your security news "inputs" into a RSS reader.

For Mac OSX platforms, I highly recommend Vienna. This is what I use 90% of the time.

For Win32 platforms, I am currently using Feedreader, however, I am still not completely sold on it. If anyone knows of a better free RSS Client please let me know.

Another amazing resource is the Security Blogger's Network created by Alan Shimel and of which www.monkey-house.org is a proud member. This is essentially a large collection of top-notch IT Security related blogs, aggregated and served out as a Feedburner Feed. To take advantage of this, simply subscribe your RSS client to:

http://networks.feedburner.com/Security-Bloggers-Network/feed


Addtionally for anyone that is interested, I have exported my current list of Security/IT related feeds to an opml file. To use this, simply download my security.opml file and import this into your RSS reader.

***Please note that because my current job duties include performing web application security tests against Ruby on Rails platforms, I have alot of feeds specific to these two areas.

I used to use GreatNews because it was light and portable, I still use it on my USB drive. However on my main machine I use Snarfer which can sync with Bloglines and other really neat features. If they made it portable I would solely recommend it.
