The Lord of the Rings and Information Security in Your Open Source Project




From time to time, communities will run across information security incidents. In the course of project expansion, it always seems like a good idea to wake up a new instance of Something_With_A_Database and not write down the credentials or think very clearly about what the permissions are on that new instance. If you’re involved in open source for any length of time, you’re going to discover a hack at some point in time. However, the Lord of the Rings is a great model for being able to deal with your information security issues.
