An Overview of Cryptography

Does increased security provide comfort to paranoid people? Or does security provide some very basic protections that we are naive to believe that we don't need? During this time when the Internet provides essential communication between tens of millions of people and is being increasingly used as a tool for commerce, security becomes a tremendously important issue to deal with. There are many aspects to security and many applications, ranging from secure commerce and payments to private communications and protecting passwords. http://www.garykessler.net/library/crypto.html

Top 35 Mitigation Strategies: DSD Defence Signals Directorate

9/25/2002 -- The highly respected Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) title is achieved by passing one very broad 250-question, six-hour exam. While I didn't find the exam extremely difficult in terms of content (I consider it a mid-level security exam), it is a challenging test to take. Unlike other security certifications that test your ability to implement and maintain a security infrastructure, the CISSP certifies your knowledge and understanding of security-related issues, such as physical security, business management practices, technological security controls, cryptography and cyber crime laws. There's not much within the CISSP exam objectives that can be learned from hands-on computer/networking experience.

The SPF Setup Wizard

We provide an e-mail based record tester. Send an e-mail to spf-test@openspf.net . Your message will be rejected (this is by design) and you will get the SPF result either in your MTA mail logs or via however your MTA reports errors to message senders (e.g. a bounce message). This is done to avoid the risk of backscatter from the tester. This test tests both MAIL FROM and HELO and provides results for both. http://www.openspf.org/Tools#wizard?mydomain=cswg.com&a=no&mx=yes&ptr=no&a_colon=smtp1.cswg.com&mx_colon=domain+names&ip4_colon=63.240.96.64%2F27%0D%0A206.155.74.32%2F27&include=example.com&all=yes&record_so_far=%22v%3Dspf1+mx+a%3Asmtp1.cswg.com+ip4%3A63.240.96.64%2F27+ip4%3A206.155.74.32%2F27+%7Eall%22&use_built_from_args=1

The article proved quite popular with my audience, as it allowed Linux users, new converts in particular, a quick taste of some of the more useful programs available for Linux platforms, across a range of categories. Since, a lot has changed. Two years is a long time. I have decided to write a new article, from scratch, cataloging an up-to-date collection of must-have programs.
