Call for papers SecurityFocus ( www.securityfocus.com ) is currently accepting submissions for new Infocus articles. We would like to extend an invitation to security researchers, authors and academics for submissions on topics of interest to the security community. Submissions should include a short summary along with the author's name, email address and contact information. All submissions should be in MS Word format and should be sent to: editor@securityfocus.com 
Responding to a Brute Force SSH AttackAttackers are increasing using brute force to try and break into certain network servers by trying popular and random passwords to the accounts of public-facing SSH servers. Jamie Riden of the UK Honeynet Project describes one such attack and the lessons learned. 2008-12-03 http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1903 
Data Recovery on Linux and ext3SecurityFocus contributor Abe Getchell covers a basic technique to recover data that someone has deleted, whether accidentally or on purpose. 2008-10-03 http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1902
WiMax: Just Another Security Challenge?Deploying WiMax brings greater bandwidth, but also new, as well as old, security ramifications. SecurityFocus contributor Stephen Barish explores the technology behind a proposed new standard for wireless broadband communications. 2008-08-26 http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1901 
Blocking Traffic by Country on Production NetworksA lot of the network data coming from other countries' networks is malicious -- or at best, unwanted. SecurityFocus contributor Timothy Mullen shows data from some recent filtering tests and demonstrates how to do per-country filtering on Microsoft's ISA Server. 2008-07-16 http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1900 
Integrating More Intelligence into Your IDS, Part 2SecurityFocus contributor Don Parker continues his discussion on how artificial intelligence is influencing intrusion detection system (IDS) development. 2008-03-12 http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1899
Integrating More Intelligence into Your IDS, Part 1SecurityFocus contributor Don Parker explore how artificial intelligence is influencing intrusion detection system (IDS) development, and in this first of two articles, shows examples using the popular Snort platform. 2008-03-05 http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1898
A Guide to Different Kinds of HoneypotsTwo members of the Honeynet Project, one based in the UK and one in New Zealand, delve into the details of the different types of honeynets that are in use today. 2008-02-14 http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1897
Proactively Managing Security RiskThe current approach to security is based on perimeter defense and relies on firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and intrusion prevention systems. However, the increasing speed at which new exploits and attacks are being devised mandates a new layer of security that provides consistent protection rather than perpetually lagging behind the morphing tricks of hackers. 2007-11-07 http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1896
Aspect-Oriented Programming and SecurityAspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a paradigm that is quickly gaining traction in the development world. While several others have tied AOP to security, I aspire to raise awareness amongst my information security colleagues that AOP can have a substantially beneficial impact on application security. 2007-10-16 http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1895 
Passive Network AnalysisDefenders know their networks better than their adversaries possibly can. It's time to use this home-field advantage against the attackers, says Stephen Barish. 2007-09-28 http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1894 |
