Debian security updates (Wheezy and Jessie). This mirror is located in Oregon, United States.
Instructions:
1. Open "/etc/apt/sources.list" in your favourite texteditor.
2. Comment out any existing references to "security.debian.org" (or variations thereof)
3. Finally add these lines to your sources.list. Make sure to pick either Wheezy or Jessie,
depending on what you're running.
#for Wheezy

deb-src http://debian-security.mirror.k0nsl.org/debian-security/ wheezy/updates main contrib
#for Jessie
deb http://debian-security.mirror.k0nsl.org/debian-security/ jessie/updates main contrib
deb-src http://debian-security.mirror.k0nsl.org/debian-security/ jessie/updates main contrib
4. Done! Clear cache (optional), pull the new packages via apt-get and then upgrade as you would normally :)
