EBay also adopted new tools for big-data processing, such as the open-source software framework Hadoop and a system called Mobius that was developed in its labs.
Moy says that the poor results of the NSS test are particularly surprising given that the vulnerabilities the lab tested were publicly described by government sources like CERT and MITRE, and the exploits they used came from the open-source penetration testing framework Metasploit.
We all believe that the open-source nature of the Hadoop framework will drive cost down, and most importantly create new value and innovation in a very short time frame.
Maritz, with no installed base, wants the Java-coding hoards from Spring, or the open source communities around the Web application framework Ruby on Rails or the scalable network programming framework Node.js.
