The book begins with real world cases of botnet attacks to underscore the need for action. Next the book will explain botnet fundamentals using real world examples. These chapters will cover what they are, how they operate, and the environment and technology that makes them possible. The following chapters will analyze botnets for opportunities to detect, track, and remove them. Then the book will describe intelligence gathering efforts and results obtained to date. Public domain tools like OurMon, developed by Jim Binkley of Portland State University, will be described in detail along with discussions of other tools and resources that are useful in the fight against Botnets.
* This is the first book to explain the newest internet threat Botnets, zombie armies, bot herders, what is being done, and what you can do to protect your enterprise
* Botnets are the most complicated and difficult threat the hacker world has unleashed - read how to protect yourself |

The term Intrusion Detection System (IDS) has become the focus of many debates and much confusion of late. As more
vendors enter the fray, the terminology gets more and more confused, as companies struggle to differentiate their product
from the rest. Several excellent papers have been written that describe various IDS terminology, however the focus thus far has
been solely on traditional Network IDS. This paper takes a different approach, focusing on Intrusion Detection Systems for
Databases, the protections they provide, and the differences between Database IDS and traditional Network-based IDS. |

Search Engines Used to Attack Databases

Database security has recently become the victim of misused search engines. Over the last year or so, Hackers have begun to
use search engines to find potentially vulnerable web applications to attack. The search engine doesn’t actually execute any
attacks, rather it is used to quickly locate “soft targets” among the vast number of sites on the internet. The hacker then targets
the vulnerable sites with attacks designed to exploit the specific holes discovered by the search engine. |

In this paper, we wish to alarm the community that the long realized risk of interoperation with the Internet is becoming a reality: Smart-phones,interoperable between the telecom networks and the Internet, are dangerous conduits for Internet security threats to reach the telecom infrastructure. The damage caused b ysubverted smart-phones could range from privacy violation and identity theft to emergency call center DDoS attacks and national crises. We also describe defense solution space including smart-phone hardening approaches, Internet-side defense, telecom-side defense, and coordination mechanisms that may be needed between the Internet and telecom networks. Much of this space is yet to be explored. |
