This documentation discusses OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), an open standard IP routing protocol. OSPF is a link-state routing protocol. Link-state routing protocols take the actual state of the network link into account when creating routing table
This Document is for LIDS ( Linux Intrusion Detection System) Project and mainly about the impletementation of LIDS in the kernel. The target of the LIDS is to enhance the current Linux Kernel, to make it more solidate and more secure. In order to ac
This documentation examines how SSL works, what it can do, and how the products and applications that use SSL have failed, resulting in updates to Netscape Navigator and Microsoft's Internet Explorer and IIS this year.
The Secure Shell is a method of logging into a remote host using strong authentication and encryption. It is an excellent telnet and ftp replacement, and should be included in any secure environment.
How to configure a Linux firewall to masquerade IPsec-and PPTP-based Virtual Private Network traffic, allowing you to establish a VPN connection without losing the security and flexibility of your Linux firewall's internet connection and allowing you
This Cisco whitepaper discusses the TCP/IP architecture and provides a basic reference model that explains TCP/IP terminology and describes the fundamental concepts underlying the TCP/IP protocol suite. Great document.
