“Privacy continues to be a hot issue. This week, the Senate
released a 31 page guide to privacy protection. It includes
strategies and references to tools that can help protect privacy
while online. Also, Network Ice released an open source clone of
Carnivore, and the paper, “Circumventing Carnivore” was
released.”

“This week, Dave Wreski conducted an interesting interview with
Avi Fogel, CEO of Network-1. Some of the topics include, “the state
of Internet security,” his experience with Windows and security,
and the advantages and disadvantages of Open Source security.”

“Our feature this week, “Building a secure web server using
Apache and OpenSSL,” by Nick DeClario, outlines methods of using
apache and OpenSSL to create a web server that can keep
authentication and other information away from prying eyes. This is
a “must-read” for server administrators.”
