Description A more in-depth discussion of the exploit and the service it attacks. Impact What sort of damage can occur. For example, By exploiting this bug, anyone with anonymous FTP access to your system can obtain root access. Solution What you can do to fix the problem, such as instructions for downloading and installing software patches, or the appropriate flags to change in configuration files. CERT also maintains an online library of security-related instructional materials and software tools. I strongly recommend that you visit CERT s Web site at http://www.cert.org/. CIAC Another good source for computer security information is the CIAC Web site at http://www.ciac.org/. CIAC stands for Computer Incident Advisory Capability and is affiliated with the Department of Energy. Like CERT, it posts advisories and other types of helpful security information. AntiOnline If you are really serious about defending your system from cracker attacks, you need to know the tools and resources that crackers have at their disposal. The AntiOnline Web site at http://www.antionline.com/ is very useful in that respect. AntiOnline has reports on actual computer break-ins and other cracker-related news. AntiOnline even keeps an archive of the actual tools that cracker use (though you will need to sign up as a registered AntiOnline member to access the archive). You may be surprised and frightened at the number of tools crackers have access to. Caution Remember, breaking into a computer you do not own is ILLEGAL! Don’t do it. The last I heard, they don’t let you take your Red Hat Linux box with you when they send you to prison. Breaking into your own computers, however, can be a great way to test your security, and that is where AntiOnline can be very useful. Make no mistake; the crackers already have these tools. By giving us a peek into the cracker’s tool bag, AntiOnline is helping to level the playing field. Newsgroups There are newsgroups that contain a wealth of knowledge about computer security. You may want to consider reading these newsgroups: comp.security.announce Contains announcements from CERT about security. This group is moderated. comp.security.misc Covers general security issues of computers and networks. comp.security.pgp.announce Covers the new PGP versions and utilities. comp.security.ssh Contains information about the SSH package, secure remote login, and tunneling tools.
