Intrusion

increased focus and large investments in computer security, critical infrastructure systems remain vulnerable to attacks, says Arun Sood, professor of computer science at George Mason University. The increasing sophistication and incessant morphing of cyber-attacks lend importance to the concept of intrusion tolerance: a system must fend off, or at least limit, the damage caused by unknown and/or

AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) is a free replacement for Tripwire(tm). It generates a database that can be used to check the integrity of files on server. It uses regular expressions for determening which files get added to the database. You can use several message digest algorithms to ensure that the files have not been tampered with. Default configuration of aide is quite fine

Host Intrusion Prevention Technologies or better known as HIPS have been around for some time in the market. HIPS technologies work on the premise of providing end-point intrusion prevention against anomalous system behavior. HIPS over the years has been developed for the anti-malware space in order to compliment existing technologies (signature and heuristics) and to improve detection capa

Its so heartening to know that its not only me who is concerned about Home Network security and intrusion detection. I have written two articles about it.1) Setting up a Firewall and 2) Setting up Intrusion detection. Now even FOSSwire has come up with an article on Intrusion detection with Tripwire. Trpiwire rworks in a similar fashion as SNORT and allows to setup policies. It then periodically monitors those policies. It’s most useful in server environments, where you have services running all the time and where they are at risk of intrusion. It’s also not the be all and end all, and you certainly shouldn’t assume that it will be able to catch everything, but it is an essential tool in my opinion for people running servers in many environments that help you limit the damage that c

Last week, Security Fix featured the highlights from a non-public report by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) that examined a huge recent spike in the cost of computer intrusions for banks and consumers. I chose not to publish the report itself at the time, but due in part to the large number [...]

Modern techniques and methodologies for detecting attacks and malicious activities on computers and networks have evolved a lot over the last couple of years. The need for detecting intrusion attempts before the actual attack simplifies the job of securely administering…

This tutorial will describe how to install and configure Snort (intrusion detection system) from source, BASE (Basic Analysis and Security Engine) using MySQL, and Apache2 on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon). Snort will assist you in monitoring your network and alert you about possible threats. Snort will output its log files to a MySQL database which BASE will use to display a graphical interface in a

By: Nahshon Roberts"Every breath you takeEvery move you makeEvery bond you breakEvery step you takeIll be watching you"Song and signs of the timesSounds familiar? These lines from Stings "Every Breath You Take" describe CCTV and other digital surveillance systems very well. But thats just it. The electronic eyes hiding behind a pot of African lilies and irises could be doing just that while youre wolfing down grilled steak or picking your nose.If you only knew you were being watched, youd be observing the niceties of urban living while dining in a posh restaurant, even with your back towards the crowd, because theres no telling nowadays how you are watched and where you are watched.The reason for the installation of CCTV surveillance systems in public places, is an offshoot of the infamous 9/11 surprise attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, on the Pentagon, and the Boeing 757 crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. These bred fear and terror in the heartland.When CCTV surveillance

With the growing use of internet the threats attached to it are also growing.

I ain't talking about Big B - Amitabh Bachhan here....This is about Big Brother - our own police force.I read an article in Hindustan Times (April 30th, 2007). In first-of-its-kind intitative to tackle cyber-crime, the Nashik police is keeping an electronic eye on cyber cafe users. They aim to maintain real-time photo record of users at cyber cafes and the times spent surfing. This is all done using a software called Webcafe.Hence if a user goes to a cyber cafe, his photo, name, address and identity proof gets recorded into the main server which would be connected to a central server located at police head quarters. So everytime a user logs on to a computer the details would be automatically transeferred to the police servers. I saw similar kind of photograph based logs in Hyderabad when I was touring. Now with these kind of systems coming in place, we would hope that cyber crimes would reduce atleast from cyber cafes as point of origin. I am still not seeing such measures from cyber
