August and author compliancy to writing deadlines mix like oil and water. Based on the comments and compliments received, I'll leave you today with a list of recent columns that are well worth reading or re- reading:
Issue 10, July 2, 2002, Stopping Wi-Fi Intruders, Lisa Phifer, Core Competence
WLANs are everywhere, and everyone worries about security. Lisa's column received lots of compliments when posted here and as a WatchGuard Live Security Service article.
Issue 3, February 15, 2002, Legal Liability and DDoS Attacks, Jeffrey Matsuura, Alliance Law Group
Worried about legal liability associated with DDoS? Jeff highlights basic actions that network operators can take to reduce their risk and enforce their rights.
Issue 23, December 17, 2001, Exploiting and Protecting Oracle, Pete Finnigan, PenTest Limited
I know, I know... Larry assures us that Oracle's uncrackable. Pete's column is still worth the read even if you are entirely comforted by Larry's confidence in his product.
Issue 14, July 27, 2001, Securing the Apache Web Server, Rik Farrow
Apache's had its share of vulnerability reports recently, but it's still the most widely used web server. Like every other security matter, Jeff Schiller's rule "Clue is a constant" still applies. Lots more apache admins means dilution of clue. Rik's forgotten more about securing Apache than I'll ever learn.
