fix(cyber-security): replace 12 dead resource links - #10253
Conversation
Eleven TechTarget links and one RiskXchange link in the Cyber Security roadmap now return 404. TechTarget reorganised its site (searchsecurity/ -> cybersecurity/, searchcio/ -> it-strategy/, searchdatacenter/ -> it-infrastructure/, searchitoperations/ -> it-operations/), but the redirect targets 404, so following the redirect does not recover them. Each dead link is replaced with an equivalent resource, preferring primary and standards sources over aggregators: - radius -> RFC 2865 (IETF) - rmf -> NIST CSRC RMF project page - guestos -> NIST CSRC glossary - salting -> OWASP Password Storage Cheat Sheet + Wikipedia - phishing -> CISA "Recognize and Report Phishing" - antimalware -> CISA "Understanding Anti-Virus Software" - protocols -> CompTIA "What Is a Network Protocol?" - iso, cism, eap-vs-peap, evil-twin, watering-hole-attack -> Wikipedia salting had only this one resource, so it would have been left with none; it gets two replacements. Resource-type ordering (@official@ before @Article@ before @video@) is preserved in every file. All replacement URLs verified 200.

I think its ISO in general, not just ISO/IEC 27001, because if you look at this topic description, it doesn't talk about any specific ISO, just the definition of ISO.

Its antimalware, not antivirus. Antivirus discussed in separate topic in this roadmap.
Also I believe this topic should be dropped, as antivirus and antimalware almost have the same definition, and antivirus now days usually has the same feature as antimalware.

Just suggesting to move the RFC to the right, as RADIUS is the main topic that talked about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certified_Information_Security_Manager redirects to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISACA, which mostly talk about ISACA, not CISM.
Fixes the dead links reported in #10249 for the Cyber Security roadmap.
What I found
I re-checked all 628 distinct URLs in
roadmaps/cyber-security/contentand followed every redirect to its final status. One correction to the report in #10249: most of the TechTarget links are listed there under 3xx, but the301is only the first hop — TechTarget reorganised its sections and the redirect targets themselves 404:So these are not links that merely need their redirect resolved; the content is gone and they need genuine replacements.
watering-hole-attackis dead the same way and was not in the original report.12 links are confirmed 404 by two independent HTTP clients (

saltinghad this as its only resource and would have been left with none, which is the concern raised in [Cyber Security] Broken Links #10249 — it gets two replacements.@official@→@article@→@video@) in every file;radiusandrmfgain an@official@link that correctly sorts first.Verification
Every one of the 27 URLs across the 12 changed files was re-checked after the edit. All 12 replacements return
200. The remaining non-200s are pre-existing links I did not touch and are bot-protection responses, not dead pages (YouTube429from my own rate-limited scanning,iso.organdnordvpn.com403).I also excluded 43 links that return
403to automated checks — Cloudflare, Cisco, NordVPN and similar serve those to non-browser clients while the pages load fine for real users, so treating them as broken would be a false positive.Thanks to @gdaffa for the original report.
