Use Wireshark to track your network behavior

Use Wireshark to track your network behavior
11 August 2009, 11:17 am

LinuxSecurity.com: Any time I need network analysis I turn to Wireshark. Wireshark is, in my opinion, the defacto standard for network protocol analyzers . Not only is it incredibly powerful, useful, and user-friendly it is also FREE! But what exactly is Wireshark? Simple: Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer that watches and logs all incoming and outgoing traffic as defined by your needs. This tool can not only read traffic live, it can read traffic from a previous dump. And it can read files from other applications such as tcpdump and Microsoft Network Analyzer.

Vulnerability affects all major browsers
10 August 2009, 1:28 pm

LinuxSecurity.com: First reports of a vulnerability apparently discovered by Microsoft at the start of this year, appeared in mid June. The vulnerability could reportedly be used to carry out man-in-the-middle attacks on HTTPS connections. Mozilla classed the risk as high and released corresponding patches for its browser. It has now become clear that the vulnerability affects many other browsers.

Holes closed in Subversion version control system
10 August 2009, 1:27 pm

LinuxSecurity.com: New versions of the Subversion version management system fix vulnerabilities in the client and server which could allow an attacker to gain control of a system. The cause of the problems are multiple heap overflows in the libsvn_delta library, which may occur when the library is parsing difference data streams (binary deltas).

Secure Passwords Keep You Safer
10 August 2009, 1:26 pm

LinuxSecurity.com: Classic article on choosing a secure password from Bruce Schneier on Wired. It's great reading, even for those of us who have been around a while.Ever since I wrote about the 34,000 MySpace passwords I analyzed, people have been asking how to choose secure passwords.

Database Administrators Playing Increasingly Crucial Role In Security

Database Administrators Playing Increasingly Crucial Role In Security
7 August 2009, 3:20 pm

LinuxSecurity.com: In the past, database administrators weren't expected to do much with security. Their focus was on the speed, performance, and accuracy of the data. Security was a relatively low priority. Recently, however, that prioritization has begun to shift.

Taking FOSS Security Seriously

Taking FOSS Security Seriously
7 August 2009, 2:44 pm

LinuxSecurity.com: Developers of open source software projects should be just as concerned about security as anyone developing a proprietary app. However, the nature of the two development processes can be very different at times, and debate still rages about which is inherently more secure -- a secret code kept by a company, or a public one that all eyes can see. Just as important is how each community reacts once a problem is spotted.

LinuxSecurity.com: The Wi-Fi network at last week's Black Hat conference in Las Vegas was pummeled by multiple types of attacks -- but the network held (at least that was my experience).

Facebook, Twitter, Others Down in Possible DDoS?

Facebook, Twitter, Others Down in Possible DDoS?
6 August 2009, 12:56 pm

LinuxSecurity.com: Twitter & Facebook, among others, appear to all be down or having access problems. It doesn't appear to be an infrastructure problem, but something more widespread, such as an ISP problem or distributed denial of attack.Twitter was inaccessible for at least a half hour on Thursday morning, followed by a period of slowness and sporadic timeouts (and more outright downtime). It's not clear what has caused this. My theory is that it was the millions of people tweeting complaints about why it can't be Friday yet.

Irresponsibility Runs Amok at Black Hat, Defcon

Irresponsibility Runs Amok at Black Hat, Defcon
5 August 2009, 10:23 pm

LinuxSecurity.com: The annual summer bug parades at Black Hat and Defcon always leave me questioning motives. This year, as in the past, we witnessed a deluge of vulnerability disclosures, and many of them seemed to me to be beyond irresponsible. They were attempts at naked glory mongering, and that just plain stinks.

LinuxSecurity.com:  When I first went to Defcon in 1995, the halls were mobbed with teenagers and attendees seemed more concerned with freeing Kevin Mitnick and seeing strippers than hacking each others' computers.
