Battling the Cyber Warmongers
10 May 2010, 3:06 pm

LinuxSecurity.com: A recent simulation of a devastating cyberattack on America was crying for a Bruce Willis lead: A series of mysterious attacks-probably sanctioned by China but traced to servers in the Russian city of Irkutsk-crippled much of the national infrastructure, including air traffic, financial markets and even basic email. If this was not bad enough, an unrelated electricity outage took down whatever remained of the already unplugged East Coast.

Botnets exploit Linux owners' ignorance

10 May 2010, 2:59 pm

LinuxSecurity.com: In a soberly worded response to Friday's edition of The Long View, Bruce Schneier clarifies that he didn't expect anyone to think he believes that 9/11 made us safer.  I'm indebted to Bruce for clearing that up.

Symantec study misses the point over Linux spam
10 May 2010, 2:56 pm

LinuxSecurity.com: The latest MessageLabs Intelligence Report from Symantec Hosted Services is filled with interesting and useful information regarding the current state of malware and e-mail borne threats as well as the trends over time. Of particular interest to me is the assertion in the report that "any given Linux machine is five times more likely to be sending spam than any given Windows machine."

DNSSEC on all root servers - updated
10 May 2010, 2:55 pm

LinuxSecurity.com: On Wednesday (5th May) the last of the 13 authoritative root servers for the domain name system  switched over to the DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) security protocol. DNSSEC is intended to prevent DNS exploits such as cache poisoning. All 13 root servers are now serving a signed version of the root zone. However, it is not possible to validate these signatures at present as the public key remains undisclosed.

The HacKid Conference: An idea whose time has come
7 May 2010, 12:31 pm

LinuxSecurity.com:   I go to a lot of security conferences, almost always without my family in tow. The logistics and money involved with trekking them from one part of the country to the next is usually beyond my resources. But when a conference is local and there's something in it for the kids, I'm in 100 percent.

Jarlsberg - Learn Web Application Exploits and Defenses
7 May 2010, 12:28 pm

LinuxSecurity.com: This codelab is built around Jarlsberg /yrlz'bərg/, a small, cheesy web application that allows its users to publish snippets of text and store assorted files. "Unfortunately," Jarlsberg has multiple security bugs ranging from cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery, to information disclosure, denial of service, and remote code execution. The goal of this codelab is to guide you through discovering some of these bugs and learning ways to fix them both in Jarlsberg and in general.
