RSS (Rich Site Summary; originally RDF Site Summary; often called Really Simple Syndication) is a type of web feed which allows users to access updates to online content in a standardized, computer-readable format. RSS is written in the Internet coding language known as XML (eXtensible Markup Language), which is why you see RSS buttons commonly labeled with a XML type icon.
RSS feed is the syndicated content itself. But technically speaking, it is an XML file which contains channel information (i.e. website information) and one or more items of a website. These items are generally the news items of a website or blog. Each item contains item’s heading, item’s description, a link back to the full contents of the item, publication date of the item and GUID element (which uniquely defines each item). An item can contain many more elements. But for the sake of simplicity we will stick to the aforesaid elements.
Each link below will take you directly to the RSS feed or to the page containing the feeds. Here we’ve compiled a list of top 18 Security related RSS Feeds:
