Hello,
As such I know, I think that there can be no threat about the possible virus attack's for unix flavoured OS's. As there is lot of security check's that has to passed before tampring the System. Till know I have never come across, about virus attack & damage being caused on Unix flavoured OS's. Hence I hope u need not bother about Viruses attack's on Unix Flavoured Technologies OS's.

There is little or no gaming available without the use of emulation or virtualization.
There is no support for Xen in Solaris 10, you will have to Nevada to get that which also means no XP apps unless you can get them to run in Wine.
It is unlikely that windows only hardware will be supported. (1 Reply)

hash_equals
HASH_EQUALS(3) 1 HASH_EQUALS(3)
hash_equals - Timing attack safe string comparison
SYNOPSIS
bool hash_equals (string $known_string, string $user_string)
DESCRIPTION
Compares two strings using the same time whether they're equal or not.
This function should be used to mitigate timing attacks; for instance, when testing crypt(3) password hashes.
PARAMETERS
o $known_string
- The string of known length to compare against
o $user_string
- The user-supplied string
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE when the two strings are equal, FALSE otherwise.
ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
Emits an E_WARNING message when either of the supplied parameters is not a string.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
example
<?php
$expected = crypt('12345', '$2a$07$usesomesillystringforsalt$');
$correct = crypt('12345', '$2a$07$usesomesillystringforsalt$');
$incorrect = crypt('apple', '$2a$07$usesomesillystringforsalt$');
var_dump(hash_equals($expected, $correct));
var_dump(hash_equals($expected, $incorrect));
?>
The above example will output:
bool(true)
bool(false)
NOTES
Note
Both arguments must be of the same length to be compared successfully. When arguments of differing length are supplied, FALSE is
returned immediately and the length of the known string may be leaked in case of a timing attack.
Note
It is important to provide the user-supplied string as the second parameter, rather than the first.
