whitepaper An Investigation of a Compromised Host on a Honeynet Being Used to Increase the Security of a Large Enterprise Network2006-06-14 01:00:26 Georgia Institute of Technology
  The growth of network intrusions on large enterprise networks continues to increase, creating an epidemic of compromised hosts. The deployment of firewalls and intrusion detection systems has not slowed the growth of intrusions to an acceptable rate. Investigating the compromise of a production machine is both difficult and time-consuming due to the mixing of attack and production traffic, while similar investigations of compromised machines on honeynets are much less complex since there is no real production traffic. This paper discusses why these investigations are easier on a honeynet and how honeynets may be used to make investigations of compromised production machines faster and recovery easier.

whitepaper Firewall Facts: What It Can Do to Protect Your Computer2006-06-09 01:00:26 LT International
  The whole point of a firewall is to completely isolate the computer from the Internet. Everything that passes in or out of the computer hits this wall to see if it can pass or needs to be blocked. The information that passes through a computer is made up of packets. Each packet is given from one machine to another in a network. So the connections computer savvy people talk about are merely the passing of packets of information to and from other computers. This is used to send or receive a packet of information no matter if one computer is two feet or in another country from the destination computer.

whitepaper Industry Spying Through the Use of Spyware2006-06-09 01:00:26 LT International
  When one is faced with a form of super Spyware that seems to slip through the cracks of the firewall, and completely jump through the anti-viral program, one has just encountered what is known as new Spam. Generally what it does is clog up the memory on the computer by patching through multiple pop-ups and banners flogging the machine. This is generally slipping in on the coattails of a program that may appear innocent and legitimate. Many times however it can be much worse, allowing for remote users to gain access to the machine. There are also other problems that can arise also such as the stealing of passwords and or creating credit card numbers and then using them on the tab.
