F-Secure has created a free tool that automates the detection and removal of the widespread Flashback Mac OS X malware.
How to use the tools:
1) Download FlashbackRemoval.zip to the Mac machine you want to scan. 2) Double-click the zip package to unzip it in the current folder. 3) Double-click the FlashBack Removal app to run the tool. 4) Follow the instructions to check . . . → Read More: detect flashback mac

A detailed implementation of a full interaction honeypot and honeywall in a virtualized VMWare environment is presented. The benefits and drawbacks of this type of this type of implementation are explained. The importance of proper . . . → Read More: Honeynet honeywall howto
SQL Server has a function called CAST, that converts an ASCII codes array to text. Hackers can use this function to obfuscate the SQL Injection payload, and bypass filters that block SQL commands or hazardous characters. Here is an example to an attack that uses this technique:
Here is an FTDNS example (File Transfer via DNS) from Johannes B. Ullrich, Ph.D. (http://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=10306):
File transfer via DNS
For pentesters, this is helpful as it will first of all sneak past many firewalls, and secondly you do not need to install any special tools that may be picked up by anti-malware.
Before you can be a badass hacker you need to understand what exactly it is your doing. Today’s Lesson is on flooding a network with random MAC addresses.
Switch Behavior If you fill up a switches table with random mac addresses different vendors switches will behave differently.

GNS3 is a graphical network simulator that allows simulation of complex networks.
To allow complete simulations, GNS3 is strongly linked with :
Dynamips, the core program that allows Cisco IOS emulation. Dynagen, a text-based front-end for Dynamips. Qemu, a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.
Tool being shown: http://www.yersinia.net/ Attack 1: Taking over the root bridge Never set the TC-ACK bit when receiving TCN BPDUs–> unnecessary flooding Keep switching between root bridge and other roles – excessive load on processor
