Restricting zone transfers with IP addresses in BIND DNS Server

DNS server can be attacked using various techniques such as:
[a] DNS spoofing

[b] Cache poisoning

[c] Registration hijacking

One of the simplest ways to defend is limit zone transfers between nameservers by defining ACL. I see many admin allows BIND to transfer zones in bulk outside their network or organization. There is no need to do this. Remember you don't have to make an attacker's life easier. Restricting zone transfers with IP addresses in BIND DNS Server

When Bullies Rule: A Call For Patent Reform in America

This week at LWN: SMACK meets the One True Security Module

The Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel is a security module designed to harden Linux systems through the addition of mandatory access control policies; it was covered here last August. Like SELinux, SMACK works by attaching labels to processes, files, and other system objects and implementing rules describing what kinds of access are allowed by specific combinations of labels. Unlike SELinux, though, SMACK was designed specifically for simplicity of administration.

The sub-1k SOHO network

Times are changing. Today, you should think small to really think big. To avoid the greenhouse effect, you could start thinking about devices which take less power, for instance, with the additional plus that it would save on your current bill of course. And these days, thanks to the efforts of great open source minds and a handful of clever hardware manufacturers, you can set up a complete home and small office network, together with external web hosting and a real in-house DMZ (de-militarized zone) for less than $ (or €) 1,000.-

Who says you have to give up all your Windows programs to use Linux? Not CodeWeavers, with its latest version of CrossOver Linux 6.2. With this new version of CrossOver Linux, you can run more Windows programs on Linux than ever and such Windows mainstays as Microsoft Office--from 97 to 2003--Internet Explorer 6, and Quicken run better than ever. Even programs like Adobe Photoshop are coming along. At this point, I'd recommend that only people who are interested in helping to debug Photoshop on Linux give it a try, but I can see Photoshop running well on Linux sometime soon.
