The SwitchWare Project - 0 views

  • The SwitchWare Project Active Network Research at Penn and Bellcore Active networks explore the idea of allowing routing elements to be extensively programmed by the packets passing through them. This allows computation previously possible only at endpoints to be carried out within the network itself, thus enabling optimizations and extensions of current protocols as well as the development of fundamentally new protocols. Welcome to the SwitchWare home page, describing the Active Networks research effort underway in the Penn Department of Computer and Information Science and Bellcore as well as pointers to related material.

FTC warns firms, organizations of widespread data breach - 0 views

  • The FTC declined to identify the companies or organizations involved, but said they were both "private and public entities, including schools and local governments." The companies and organizations ranged in size from "businesses with as few as eight employees to publicly held corporations employing tens of thousands," the FTC said in a statement. It said sensitive data about customers and employees had been shared from the computer networks of the companies and organizations and made available on Internet peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks. The information was accessible to "any users of those networks, who could use it to commit identity theft or fraud," the FTC said. "Unfortunately, companies and institutions of all sizes are vulnerable to serious P2P-related breaches, placing consumers' sensitive information at risk," FTC chairman Jon Leibowitz said. "For example, we found health-related information, financial records, and drivers' license and social security numbers -- the kind of information that could lead to identity theft," Leibowitz said.

Browser history hijack + social networks = lost anonymity - 0 views

  •  
    Simply joining a few groups at social networking sites may reveal enough information for hackers to personally identify you, according to some recent computer science research. In a paper that will be presented at a security conference later this year, an international team of academics describes how they were able to build membership sets using information that social networking sites make available to the public, and then leverage an existing attack on browsing history to check for personal identity. That information, they argue, can then be combined with other data to create further security risks, such as a personalized phishing attack.

Sea World killer whale attack video leads to malware | Graham Cluley's blog - 0 views

  •  
    Dawn Brancheau, a trainer at Sea World in Orlando, was killed yesterday after being attacked by a killer whale. News of the tragedy sped quickly around the world, and now sick cybercriminals are exploiting the story of 40-year-old Brancheau's death for their own commerical gain. Through SEO (search engine optimisation) techniques, hackers have created webpages stuffed with content which appears to be ghoulish video footage of the animal trainer's death - but are really designed to infect visiting computers.

Huge 'botnet' amputated, but criminals reconnect - washingtonpost.com - 0 views

  •  
    "The sudden takedown of an Internet provider thought to be helping spread one of the most promiscuous pieces of malicious software out there appears to have cut off criminals from potentially millions of personal computers under their control. But the victory was short-lived. Less than a day after a service known as "AS Troyak" was unplugged from the Internet, security researchers said Wednesday it apparently had found a way to get back online, and criminals were reconnecting with their unmoored machines.

Welcome to CAcert.org - 1 views

  • CAcert.org is a community driven, Certificate Authority that issues certificates to the public at large for free. CAcert's goal is to promote awareness and education on computer security through the use of encryption, specifically with the X.509 family of standards. We have compiled a document base that has helpful hints and tips on setting up encryption with common software, and general information about Public Key Infrastructures (PKI). For the enthusiast looking to dip their toe in the water, we have an easy way of obtaining certificates you can use with your email program. You can use these not only to encrypt, but to prove to your friends and family that your email really does come from you. For administrators looking to protect the services they offer, we provide host and wild card certificates which you can issue almost immediately. Not only can you use these to protect websites, but also POP3, SMTP and IMAP connections, to list but a few. Unlike other certificate authorities, we don't limit the strength of the certificates, or the use of wild card certificates. Everyone should have the right to security and to protect their privacy, not just those looking to run ecommerce sites. If you're extremely serious about encryption, you can join CAcert's Assurance Programme and Web of Trust. This allows you to have your identity verified to obtain added benefits, including longer length certificates and the ability to include your name on email certificates. CAcert Inc. is a non-profit association, incorporated in New South Wales Australia.
