Attacking the DNS Protocol

Date - Nov 28, 2003

Author - Security Associates Institute

DNS is the most widely used protocol on the Internet yet many security professionals do not have a full understanding of the many weaknesses which surround it which are needed for Penetration Testing and day to day security. In this paper we highlight basic and advanced DNS attacks.

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Authentication Mechanisms

Date - Nov 26, 2003

Author - Przemyslaw Kazienko & Piotr Dorosz

Author - Deb Shinder

Section - Articles / Windows 2003 Security

However, IPv6 provides for more than just an increase in the number of available addresses. It is also designed to provide for better performance and, even more important in today’s business world, better security of IP communications.
