Computer attack patterns have evolved in recent years. Cryptolockers have become the spearhead of many hackers.

Does your antivirus vendor promise you that you are protected against these new threats? OK, prove it before you get stuck by a real attack.

Two big new features caught my attention:

The new service of Traefik : Traefik Pilot
Adding plugin management

Another new feature, compatibility with ECS will be covered in a future article.

Having 2 Raspberries to reinstall, I thought I would test it for you. A little overview.

User friendly installation

As I was talking about last week, one of the challenges of Linux is to make it more accessible to non-technical users.

This utility is particularly aimed at this type of user, since the installation is very simple compared to the existing alternatives.
