whitepaper Hacking Leopard: Tools and Techniques for Attacking the Newest Mac OS X2007-06-22 Independent Security Evaluators
  This paper serves as an introduction to the tools and techniques available on the Mac OS X operating system for vulnerability analysis. It is particularly targeted for those security researchers already familiar with tools for Windows and/or Linux. It also reveals tools that are only found on Mac OS X and how they can be used to find security flaws, especially those that can be used in conjunction with fuzzing. By using the tools outlined in this paper, which include both Mac versions of well-known tools and some Mac OS X exclusive tools, security researchers can comfortably focus their efforts on this platform.

whitepaper The Penguin Road Patrol0000-00-00 Fairfax Digital
  When Pavement Management Services, the Melbourne franchise of a Sydney outfit, was granted a contract by VicRoads to carry out the annual survey of the road network in September 2002, the company's owner decided that the time was right to begin doing the surveys using video technology. The owner used a video camera and an Apple Macintosh to convince VicRoads that video footage would provide pictures of sufficient resolution for VicRoads to be able to diagnose things such as ride comfort, rutting, and stone texture. What his team has ended up with is a system that uses Linux to run five video cameras from the same kind of van used as an ambulance.

whitepaper Best Practices: Integrating Mac OS X With Active Directory2007-04-01 Apple
  With the introduction of the Active Directory (AD) plug-in in Mac OS X 10.3, Apple has made a concerted effort to enable IT administrators to integrate Mac OS X clients and servers easily into existing Active Directory infrastructures. While every Active Directory installation is different, especially in the enterprise space, Mac OS X integrates well with the vast majority of them - and with minimum effort. Apple's support for AD extends to Mac OS X Server as well. Integrating a server is just as easy as integrating a client system. This allows Windows-based departments to take advantage of file sharing and other services in Mac OS X Server, while using their existing AD infrastructure for identification and authentication.

whitepaper Using Samba: Accounts, Authentication, and Authorization2007-01-01 O'Reilly Media
  Authentication is proving that the user is who he or she says they are. One does this every day, during such activities as printing a document or saving a file to a network drive. When things are working correctly, the steps taken by a server to authenticate a request are often taken for granted. The user enters a password, and it is used whenever the client machine needs to access a network resource on the user's behalf. Authentication is a prerequiste to authorization. Authorization is what the server does to verify that the authenticated user should (or should not) gain access to the requested resource (such as the printer or file share).

whitepaper Setting Up Oracle Database 10g and PHP on Mac OS X0000-00-00 Oracle
  Oracle, Mac OS X, and open source technologies such as Apache, PHP and gqlplus make for an enjoyable, productive, and stable development environment. Now that Mac OS X is an officially supported platform for the Oracle Database, IT departments can take a serious look at migrating developer workstations and servers to Macs. The following paper helps the reader to set up a development workstation with the Oracle Database, PHP compiled with OCI support, and a more productive wrapper for SQL*Plus.

whitepaper Mac OS X and Novell eDirectory Integration2006-07-01 Novell
  The purpose of this paper is to provide guidance to others trying to further integrate Apple OS X based computers into a 3rd party directory service. This paper focuses on the Novell eDirectory environment, however the same concepts can be applied to any directory service that utilizes LDAP. The paper is aimed to build upon, and supplement, other papers on this topic. There are 3 main areas this paper focuses on. The first is LDAP integration into eDirectory, which is covered in the Directory Setup & Desktop Setup section. The next supplements this integration and further utilizes it to provide management. The last is a management overview of the systems that can be used in Mac OS 10.4 to further streamline the support process.

whitepaper POS Buyers Guide or How to Stay Away From Common Mistakes2006-05-04 POSnet
  This paper discusses some of the factors one should consider before investing in a POS system. For the up front investment for hardware, software and networking, one must add the cost of maintenance. These are the expenses one pays to vendors, or which one incurs with in-house technical staff, to maintain the hardware and basic system software and networking infrastructure - to solve problems as they occur, to avoid "Down-time" and certainly to avoid lost data. These are the obvious maintenance costs and one needs to incur to insure uninterrupted operations and no loss of data.

whitepaper The New Apple of Malware's Eye: Is Mac OS X the Next Windows?2006-05-01 McAfee
  Apple has been perceived as a platform and technology that is "Virus free" and "Immune" to security flaws - particularly those that have plagued Microsoft over the past 20 years. But as Apple's Macintosh OS X operating system (Mac OS) gains ground in the market and Apple's consumer technologies, such as iPod and iTunes, continues to enjoy widespread popularity, security researchers and hackers will increasingly point their digital lock picks towards Mac OS and other Apple products, making Apple a growing target for malware attacks.

whitepaper Iterative Water-Filling for Optimal Resource Allocation in OFDM Multiple-Access and Broadcast Channels2006-03-18 Stanford University
  A class of optimal resource allocation problems in linear Gaussian Multiple-access and Broadcast channels (MAC and BC) can be summarized as weighted sum power minimization problem. In this paper an iterative water-filling algorithm is proposed to solve this problem efficiently. It is shown that by formulating an explicit rate expression for MAC, though non-convex of power spectral densities, the KKT conditions demonstrate a strong water-filling flavor. By iteratively solving the KKT conditions, whereas in each iteration a slightly modified single-user Margin Adaptive Water-Filling(MAWF) algorithm is applied to update the dual variable in a greedy manner, the power spectral density of each user converges to the optimal solution very fast. Simulations verify zero duality gap and fast convergence.
