'Need-to-do' Projects

It has been hectic around here, but I am committing to doing some projects that might be interesting to folks even though they are not strictly 'Security' related.

In the first project, I am going to go one month using my laptop booting exclusively in UBUNTU. My laptop is normally dual-boot and I end up spending most of my time in Windows XP SP3. This is primarily driven by the need to use Outlook 2003 to communicate with MS Exchange and MS Office for daily work. I will still need to use these resources, but I plan to use UBUNTU for what I can and report the results.

The second project I have in mind is more directly secuity focused. I will report on Off-the-Net resources that can turn an average user's workstation into YOUR organization's hacking nightmare.

Plans now are to do these in Quarter 1 of 2008. Stay tuned.

Merry Christmas to all and hold on, the politics will go away in 11 months!

UBUNTU Security: Problem or Solution?

UBUNTU is a great processing environment. It has a unique security
methodology, but it may or may not be correct for you.
This white paper raises questions you might want to consider before
you assume that UBUNTU is all the security solution you expect or
need.
