Security comes from one place, and one place only. The user. It doesn't matter how secure a vault can be, if the guy opening the vault makes a hole in it to get in better, it's not secure. By default, Linux can be hacked into just as commonly as the other systems. It also was the first to get hacked through in a hacking competition not too long ago (years). Let's not even get into all of the repositories of exploits to gain root.


Zero refrences, pure conjecture, and a lot of inflated hyperbole.  One of the links above shows a recent hacking competition in which a linux derivitive was not penetrated despite considerable money on the line.  If you are such a super hacker why have you not claimed the prize linked above? You sir are full of something.

Ok, links. Say hello to metasploit:

Oh and sorry I was mistaken, it was OS X, a Unix system with an Apple coat of paint on it that was hacked in 10 seconds, 4 years ago:

I didn't say I can hack things quickly if I wanted to, I just said you kind of sort of half-assedly know what you are talking about. Those two require vastly different amount of knowledge.
