We've all heard about the flaws and vulnerabilities in WEP, but the effort to create a standard that provides better security for wireless networks has been a long and bumpy one. The IEEE's 802.11i project has been implemented, in part, by the Wi-Fi Alliance's Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and by the Robust Secure Network (RNS). What does it all mean to you, the wireless user or network administrator? In this article, we take a look at the new wireless networking security mechanisms and how you can use them to protect your Wi-Fi network.

Over the last couple of years, spyware has grown from being a nuisance into being an epidemic. Although many tools exist for fighting spyware, they largely focus on the recovery of infected systems and have been mostly ineffective in the war against spyware. A few weeks ago however, Microsoft unveiled the first beta of their own anti spyware solution. Although this software is capable of disinfecting an infected system, its primary goal is to prevent the initial infection. In this article, I will explain how this software works and share my initial impressions of it with you.

We have stoplights on city streets, and locks on the doors of our homes. What these things have in common is that they are access controls. The world of computer security is very much the same in that it employs various ways to limit access. In this article we will cover several ones and discuss their usage.

What causes the buffer overflow condition? Broadly speaking, buffer overflow occurs anytime the program writes more information into the buffer than the space it has allocated in the memory. This allows an attacker to overwrite data that controls the program execution path and hijack the control of the program to execute the attacker's code instead the process code. For those who are curious to see how this works, we will now attempt to examine in more detail the mechanism of this attack and also to outline certain preventive measures.

ALF, not a nickname for Alfred but an acronym for Application Layer Filtering, is one of the hottest new buzzwords in a jargon-laden security subfield: firewall technology. Firewall vendors are rushing to implement ALF into their firewall products, and/or beefing up their ALF implementations to compete with those of other vendors. But exactly what is ALF and is it a "must have" feature to look for when you buy a firewall, or just another bit of marketing hype?

Before you can begin securing your systems and networks, it's a good idea to know how secure they are currently. The security audit is a powerful tool to this end. As forebodingly-formal as it sounds, the audit can be your friend.

You will need to Audit your systems for enhanced and increased security. When Microsoft laid out this objective, they were most likely thinking about building your security strategy up with Defense in Depth. This strategy is outlined as a way to avoid depending on one single protective measure deployed on your network. In other words, to eliminate the feeling of being secured because you implemented a firewall on your Internet connection you should implement other security measures like an IDS (Intrusion Detection) system, Auditing and Biometrics for Access Control.

Considering that many attacks are accessed through a user account that has one or more incorrect and insecure settings, it makes sense to focus on user account properties during an audit. Within a Windows Active Directory environment there are the standard user properties that must be audited, plus a few that may not fall into too many other network environments. This article will discuss the key user account properties that need to be audited, as well as the tools that can help complete the task.
