Just over 2 hours and installed successfully and while different seems easy to get around to find what you need.

That don't make it more secure. There are not many full time Linux users compared to Windows and Mac, hence the attack rate being low.

But I could get into a Linux machine quicker than a Windows or Mac with all relevant updates.

It is more easy to escalate privileges to root with Linux, then you own the system.

I was a Unix and Linux sysadmin for years before I retired. Never hacked once, but loads of Windows viruses on our desktops. Are you really sure you could break into a properly configured Linux machine? I very much doubt it.

It's possible to break into any machine no OS is 100% secure.

Yes, given time.

You could have a million pounds worth of all singing and dancing security, but that's no good. Number one, and easiest target would be staff through social engineering to enter the network.

I was referring more to escalating privlages, once inside the network, to own.

If it was One stand alone system, properly configured, it would be a different story, but then I would try and social engineer the owner [emoji3]

Lovely bit of backtracking there!
