[2003-06-24] Setting Up Tcp Wrappers on Solaris
Tcp Wrappers is a great program that logs and filters incoming requests for various network services. If you dont already have the source code you can get it from my link in the downloads menu.
[2003-06-23] EtterCap - ARP Spoofing and Beyond
When it comes to Network Security, my philosophy is - "You can't afford to know less than the Hacker." This means that in order to protect ourselves effectively, we need to understand and experience the same tools and techniques that are used against us.
[2003-06-17] Securing Linux
Here we go again. I decided to write another article concerning some overall security aspects of installing and running linux. To keep it short and simple, here are some good pointers to enhancing your system's security. But remember, there's no absolute security, so keep your eyes open, subscribe yourself to a few good mailing lists, and keep your software up-to-date.
[2003-06-12] User Rights - User Privileges Category
The Windows XP Professional operating system allows for Rights to be configured to both individual users as well as to groups of users. Right are best described as permitted actions that are allowed to those users or groups on a specific system or allowed actions within the domain.
[2003-06-02] Security Administration with Debian GNU/Linux
Debian has a package manager (DPKG) that resolves dependency problems automatically. It help us to automatically keep up to date programs looking for new versions on the internet, resolving and completing the files and libraries dependencies which a package requires, making system administration easy and keeping us up to date with the new security changes. It also shows some important and substantial security features: it doesn't have commercial goals, also doesn't obey mercantile urgencies, It has a good pursuit of errors, problems are fixed in less than 48 hours and it's priority is to develop a complete and reliable operating system.
[2003-06-02] Network Neighborhood, Visionfs, Samba Authentication and all that
Unix and Linux machines have been able to provide Network Neighborhood style file and print services for some time now, but I constantly see confusion and problems due to misunderstanding of how these things work.
I'm going to use an example from a real situation involving an XP user and a SCO Visionfs network. The concepts of this apply to Linux, Mac, Samba: it doesn't really matter.
