“This week, a few good network security related papers were
released. I would recommend reading, “Penetration Testing Exposed,”
“Traffic analysis almost for free, part 2,” and “Using IPSec for
Remote Administration on Linux Firewalls.” If you are using Debian
or any similar Linux, you may want to read the “Securing Debian
HOWTO.” If you are using FreeBSD, “Armoring FreeBSD” can be
helpful….”
“This week, advisories were released for glibc, proftp, bind,
ja-xklock, ja-elvis, ja-helvis, dc20ctrl, mars_nwe, XEmacs, SSH1,
slocate, and the 2.2/2.4 kernel. The vendors include Caldera,
Conectiva, FreeBSD, Immunix, Red Hat, and TurboLinux.”
