p0f v3 Copyright (C) 2012 by Michal Zalewski <lcamtuf@coredump.cx> Yeah, it's back! 1. What's this? P0f is a tool that utilizes an array of sophisticated, purely passive traffic fingerprinting mechanisms to identify the players behind any incidental TCP/IP communications (often as little as a single normal SYN) without interfering in any way. Some of p0f's capabilities include: Highly scalable and extremely fast identification of the operating system and software on both endpoints of a vanilla TCP connection - especially in settings where NMap probes are blocked, too slow, unreliable, or would simply set off alarms. Common uses for p0f include reconnaissance during penetration tests; routine network monitoring; detection of unauthorized network interconnects in corporate environments; providing signals for abuse-prevention tools; and miscellanous forensics. You can read more about its design and operation in this document. Fun fact: The idea for p0f dates back to June 10, 2000. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Recommended Search Engines-The Library Google alone is not always sufficient, however. Not everything on the Web is fully searchable in Google. Overlap studies show that more than 80% of the pages in a major search engine's database exist only in that database. Table of features Some common techniques will work in any search engine. You may also wish to consult "What Makes a Search Engine Good?" How do Search Engines Work? Search engines do not really search the World Wide Web directly. Search engine databases are selected and built by computer robot programs called spiders. If a web page is never linked from any other page, search engine spiders cannot find it. After spiders find pages, they pass them on to another computer program for "indexing." Many web pages are excluded from most search engines by policy.
Understanding user-agent strings (Internet Explorer) Updated: July 2013 Here we discuss the user-agent string, which identifies your browser and provides certain system details to servers hosting the websites you visit. We'll also learn how to view your user-agent string, understand tokens used by recent versions of Windows Internet Explorer, and understand registry keys that affect the user-agent string. We'll cover these sections. Introduction When you visit a webpage, your browser sends the user-agent string to the server hosting the site that you are visiting. Because certain non-Microsoft sites add details to the user-agent string, it's important to understand the user-agent string. Understanding the user-agent string When you request a webpage, your browser sends a number of headers to the server hosting the site that you're visiting, as shown here. These headers occur during a negotiation process that helps the browser and the hosting server determine the best way to provide the requested information. Viewing the user-agent string
s | Password Haystacks: How Well Hidden is Your Needle? ... and how well hidden is YOUR needle? Every password you use can be thought of as a needle hiding in a haystack. After all searches of common passwords and dictionaries have failed, an attacker must resort to a “brute force” search – ultimately trying every possible combination of letters, numbers and then symbols until the combination you chose, is discovered. If every possible password is tried, sooner or later yours will be found. The question is: Will that be too soon . . . or enough later? This interactive brute force search space calculator allows you to experiment with password length and composition to develop an accurate and quantified sense for the safety of using passwords that can only be found through exhaustive search. <! (The Haystack Calculator has been viewed 8,794,660 times since its publication.) IMPORTANT!!! It is NOT a “Password Strength Meter.” Since it could be easily confused for one, it is very important for you to understand what it is, and what it isn't: Okay.
Scraping for Journalism: A Guide for Collecting Data Photo by Dan Nguyen/ProPublica Our Dollars for Docs news application lets readers search pharmaceutical company payments to doctors.
