Linux Netwosix Project Shuts Down Due to Lack of Community Support

"Linux Netwosix was originally created with the goal of providing a security environment for building and creating new security-related solutions. With the passing of time I realized that the project has failed to achieve its goals within 3 years of hard work. This, among many reasons, is the most important because I never received help from anyone. Regardless of the fact that Netwosix has been downloaded by more than 60,000 users all around the world, I'm here to announce the shutting down of my dear project. Day after day I understand that I can't create a 'valid security-oriented product' alone..."

New Linux Security Course Launches at Durham Technical Community College

A core component of any curriculum in modern information security is the security of the operating systems that reside on the workstations and servers of a network. Effective information security depends on addressing all facets of how information is stored, moved, and modified. Since the operating system of a computer is the primary means of implementing the security of the information on that computer, it must be configured to minimize the risks of losing or compromising the data being processed.

Effective Data Erasure Methods for Magnetic Storage Solutions Explained

After a U.S. intelligence-gathering aircraft was involved in a mid-air collision off the coast of China four years ago, the crew was unable to erase sensitive information from magnetic data storage systems before making an emergency landing in Chinese territory. That event underscored the need for simple techniques to provide fail-safe destruction of sensitive data aboard such aircraft. Working with defense contractor L-3 Communications Corp., scientists at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have developed a series of prototype systems that use special high-strength permanent magnets to quickly erase a wide variety of storage media.

Enhancing Network Security With A Cost-Effective Intelligence Program

A Vulnerability Intelligence program should be a key component of any sound network security strategy. It should dovetail with a Vulnerability Assessment process and a patching/remediation process. While a Vulnerability Assessment process will tell you what needs to be patched, Vulnerability Intelligence should tell you what needs to be patched first and what new patches need to be evaluated.

Identifying Flaws in Linux Random Number Generator Affecting Security

his new paper which is about to appear later this month (May, 2006) on the IEEE security and privacy conference describes holes in Linux's random number generator, as well as a clear description of the Linux /dev/random. The Linux random number generator is part of the kernel of all Linux distributions and is based on generating randomness from entropy of operating system events. The output of this generator is used for almost every security protocol, including TLS/SSL key generation, choosing TCP sequence numbers, and file system and email encryption. Although the generator is part of an open source project, its source code (about $2500$ lines of code) is poorly documented, and patched with hundreds of code patches.
