Linux servers are running headless in data centers, not on many desktops in comparison. So the desktop set of intrusion vectors are not present on them. Rarely does a human log into them, they're managed and usually installed remotely using ansible, salt, CloudFormation on AWS, etc. Software running on them answers requests at TCP ports, that's what they do. -- > Joe > >
