A question for server admins: how do you stay on top of important
security news (e.g., 0-day exploits like Heartbleed, Shellshock, GHOST,
etc.)? Do you use feeds, listserves, blogs, Google alerts, Twitter, or
some combination thereof?

Just curious to see how others handle this. Personally, I use a
combination of lists, blogs, and Google alerts. But the alerts have an
inherent delay, and I have to remember to check the others.

Thanks,
_Nik

I personally follow a few:
* The security mailing list for the distos I use (mainly ubuntu-security)
* FullDisclosure mailing list
* Slashdot ;)
* SoylentNews
* Listen to TechSNAP on Fridays (http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/)

If you're really hard-core you can get the CVE feeds:
https://cve.mitre.org/cve/data_updates.html

Hope that helps.

Er...I totally spaced another bullet point:

* Security list for the application(s) you are using (i.e. django-security)

+1 on this.

And I also follow http://arstechnica.com, they are usually pretty quick.
