What are the Sysadmin-Related Blogs & Mailing Lists you monitor? [closed]

I know this is a gimme question, but I genuinely would like to add more sysadmin related feeds to my reader, so please list the contents of your feedreader.


Solution 1:

Blackhat SEO

  • http://contempt.me/ - Totally a jerk, possibly illegal. Blog spam, spam rings, and the like. But an interesting look into administration of hundreds or thousands of tiny sites.

Scaling

  • http://highscalability.com/ - Often about code, but just as often about scaling servers and system tweaks to optimize. Like this article and optimizing even CPU load balancing

Security

  • http://gentoo-portage.com/GLSA - Because I run gentoo. The security list of whatever major products you use is standard I think
  • http://xorl.wordpress.com/ - He reads the patches for security holes and shows where the error is. It's code, but often in the kernel or major packages
  • http://www.darknet.org.uk/ - Often has posts about tools, including forensics, SCADA, and the like
  • http://digg.com/security - Often fluff or several days behind, but it's slow-moving so it's easy to stick in and forget
  • http://ha.ckers.org/blog/ - More configuration type posts, but also talks about large-scale deployment of security fixes and techniques
  • http://www.net-security.org/ - I find this to be almost total fluff and markest more at CIOs looking for buzzwords, but once in a while some signal gets through
  • http://www.net-security.org/insecuremag.php - An awesome magazine that comes out every few months
  • http://jeremiahgrossman.blogspot.com/ - He runs a Web Application Firewall company, so his posts are often focused around that, numbers relating to the industry, and general Web Security
  • http://www.schneier.com/blog/ - A mainstay
  • http://www.secguru.com/ - Something like a reddit for security. It often gets good articles but some of then are fluff
  • http://www.windowsecurity.com/ - Has good tutorials and explanations for setting up things like Domain Authentication and Kerberos in Windows.
  • http://seclists.org/#bugtraq - I monitor this for anything interesting or apps I run. Often gets first-reports
  • http://seclists.org/#dailydave - A very high signal to noise ratio list run by Dave Aitel
  • http://seclists.org/#pen-test - Low signal to noise, but I skim it anyway
  • http://seclists.org/#basics - Low signal to noise, but I skim it anyway. I can actually answer some of these!
  • http://seclists.org/#webappsec - Low signal to noise, but I skim it anyway
