Firebird – Dicas de segurança was just released in the Brazilian market. The book, written in Portuguese by Luiz Paulo de O. Santos, gives to the reader tips about doing a secure instalation of Firebird as well using third party tools (like ZeBeDee) to run Firebird in a more secure way. Luiz was one of the speakers at the Firebird Conference 2005. |

I’m publishing the results of the coverity tests ran against Firebird 2.0 at 6/March/2006. For those who doesn’t know what is this: some months ago, USA government sponsored some companies to find bugs in popular Open Source projects, in a way to make them more secure. Firebird was in the software list. Now the first results are being published.
“The most popular open-source software is also the most free of bugs, according to the first results of a U.S. government-sponsored effort to help make such software as secure as possible.” – Read more here.
Firebird is in the list of the Open Source tested software. I plan to put some more information about this here in FirebirdNews as soons as I put my hands on it.
