Open software, secure software Monday, 1 March 2004, 1:51 PM CET
Fifty-plus years ago Grace Hopper used her experiences with programming the
UNIVAC with FLOW-MATIC (an open-source project) to write her first compiler
paper and the modern era of computing programming began. Some would also say
that things haven't improved much since her day.
Indeed, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) estimated
that in 2001 $59.5 billion annually, about 0.6 percent of the gross domestic
product was being lost because of software bugs. The Sustainable Computing
Consortium (SCC), an academic, gove...

F-Secure Readies Security Software For LinuxF-Secure Corp. on Tuesday unveiled security software for open-source Samba
file servers and Linux, addressing a need that's growing within the
enterprise market.
The Finnish company announced the availability of antivirus software for
Samba that automatically detects and removes viruses from files stored on
the server. The new product is meant to protect all Samba-attached computers
from malicious code that could enter the network from a Windows or Linux
machine.
Next month, F-Secure plans to ship a Linux version of F-Secure Policy
Manager, which will extend centrally managed ...

Book Review: Software SecurityI'm jealous. No seriously. If Cigital is actually ran as depicted in the
book Software Security - Building Security In, I have to give kudos to Gary
and the gang for making an impressive environment for software security.
I'm a fan of Gary's writing. If you are a regular reader, you know I loved
both his books on Building Secure Software and Exploiting Software. This
latest book is, in my mind at least, a balancing act between the two
previous books on the topic. Gary calls it the "Ying and Yang". Which makes
total sense, since the book cover is of exactly that, ...
How secure is secure?Thanks to this group and all the high tech individuals who frequent it I
have learned how to protect my PC from the inside out. But what about
security risks to my info 'before' it gets to my computer? Like my mail
box on the server. Could someone hack into that and thumb through my
mail?
If so, how would I ever know?
(The short story)
We have a rogue employee at my work who one day decided to run the web
site, she got in tight with the ISP, got tools to set and delete
passwords on a protected directory on the server. Who knows if she has
telnet access to other things, li...
Software SecurityHi,
How can i secure my software at customer site, so that it may not get
copied. Is there any information available on software licencing techniques
or algorithms
regards
sukhvinder
There are manys to do that by binding the encrypted
registration file with BIOS Serial No, HDD Serial No or
Network's Physical Address, etc. to restrict the program to
work on only one workstation.

when is secure, secure?Lo everyone,
I wrote a custom authentication handler for PureFTPD, using a combination of
authentication methods, for about 4 different types of users.
So far, from testing it, it does look to work properly, and does it's job
pretty well (and fast). I use #!/usr/bin/perl -W as well as use Strict, and
use warnings, and the code returns no errors or warnings when run.
I am right to presume that this basically only really tells me the my syntax
and structure of the application is right? What's a good way to see whether
it is actually SECURE... There is a couple of lines of...

Greetings, Please provide a way to disable "smart" features. When I
leave the computer, I do not want the next user to see anything that I
have done. I do not want any automatic features like "most visited",
automatic completion of anything. This is a matter of privacy and
