Network Security

One of the things I'm interested in is computer security. For a while I've recommended people check out http://www.grc.com to check their security with Shields Up!, as well as read about DOS attacks and try some of the other security tools.

Recently, one of my students noted that Steve started up a Podcast. Well, I bought an Ipod this summer and just started listening to the Podcasts this week. Great geek stuff! I was especially surprised to hear that I missed the story that WEP is now 98% crackable in two minutes.

On an unrelated, but still security related note, I also started playing with a new program today. If you want to increase your protection from the outside, try playing with Sandboxie. This seems to have some potential for those who are a little more adventurous ;)

Enjoy!
