i didnt catch the original post, so excuse me if i am saying something thats already been said- i would say to classify the top ten insecure programs, it would really depend on how you defined it really, while to my family internet explorer might be the biggest risk, my boss might think wuftp isnt in his best interest if that made any sense. i dunno about ten, but id say the top few in no real order

bind, wuftp, openssh (secure replacement my ass, its an encrypted rootshell), imap, uh, im drawing a blank here, im wondering if this was just a cheap way for me to knock on openssh

Computers are unreliable, but humans are even more unreliable. Any system which depends on human reliability is unreliable.
