Encrypted HARD-DISK..a reality

by cisspfix on Sep.17, 2009, under General

Self-encrypting hard drives are becoming a reality. One standard, led by the Trusted Computing Group, has been adopted by a number of vendors.The cost of encryption is virtually zero because the encryption itself takes place in hardware on the drive. This means that everything is encrypted by default, without compromising performance. We may remember to encrypt our most sensitive files, but at the same time forget to encrypt our email archive, previous versions of the sensitive file, and of course the swap and hibernate files which can contain everything. Encrypting everything by default protects us from these omissions.

Errors Linux Administrator don’t want to commit.

Installing applications from various types

This might not seem like such a bad idea at first. You are running Ubuntu so you know the package management system uses .deb packages. But there are a number of applications that you find only in source form. No big deal right? They install, they work. Why shouldn’t you? Simple, your package management system can’t keep track of what you have installed if it’s installed from source. So what happens when package A (that you installed from source) depends upon package B (that was installed from a .deb binary) and package B is upgraded from the update manager? Package A might still work or it might not. But if both package A and B are installed from .debs, the chances of them both working are far higher. Also, updating packages is much easier when all packages are from the same binary type.

by cisspfix on Sep.09, 2009, under CISSP

Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) is an independent information security certification governed by the not-for-profit International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, commonly known as (ISC)2. In June, 2004, the CISSP was the first information security credential accredited by ANSI ISO/IEC Standard 17024:2003 accreditation, and, as such, has led industry acceptance of this global standard and its stringent requirements.It is formally approved by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in both their Information Assurance Technical (IAT) and Managerial (IAM) categories. The CISSP has been adopted as a baseline for the U.S. National Security Agency’s ISSEP program. (ISC)2 promotes the CISSP certification as the “international gold standard” against which other security certifications are measured.

OS Fingerprinting…

by cisspfix on Sep.05, 2009, under Security

Fingerprinting is the easiest way to detect the operating system (OS) of a remote system. OS detection is important because, after knowing the target system’s OS, it becomes easier to hack into the system. The comparison of data packets that are sent by the target system is done by fingerprinting. The analysis of data packets gives the attacker a hint as to which operating system is being used by the remote system.

There are two types of fingerprinting techniques as follows:

Active fingerprinting
Passive fingerprinting

Dsecribing Database..

by cisspfix on Sep.04, 2009, under General

A database plays a very important role in creating a dynamic and easy -to-personalize Web site. With the use of databases, Web sites become more powerful than those created in static HTML.

A database comprises information in structured and organized form that can easily be accessed and manipulated. According to the needs of a Web site, the database can be very large or minimal in size. A database can be stored on a single PC or on a collection of high-powered database servers depending upon the size. When a database is stored in a collection of servers, it is known as a distributed database.

CYBER LAW

by cisspfix on Sep.03, 2009, under Security, Uncategorized

What is Cyber Law ?
Cyber law is a very wide term which wraps up the legal issue related to use of communicative, transactional and distributive aspect of networked information device and technologies. It is commonly known as INTERNET LAW. These Laws are important to apply as Internet does not tend to make any geographical and jurisdictional boundaries clear; this is the reason why Cyber law is not very efficient. A single transaction may involve the laws of at least three jurisdictions: 1) the laws of the state/nation in which the user resides, 2) the laws of the state/nation that apply where the server hosting the transaction is located, and 3) the laws of the state/nation which apply to the person or business with whom the transaction takes place.
