Shellshock could enable an attacker to cause Bash to execute arbitrary commands and gain unauthorized access [ 3] to many Internet-facing services, such as web servers ...
Heartbeat (computing) In computer science, a heartbeat is a periodic signal generated by hardware or software to indicate normal operation or to synchronize other parts of a computer system. [1] [2] Heartbeat mechanism is one of the common techniques in mission critical systems for providing high availability and fault tolerance of network ...
LibreSSL. LibreSSL is an open-source implementation of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. The implementation is named after Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the deprecated predecessor of TLS, for which support was removed in release 2.3.0.
