whitepaper Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Malformed OSPF Packet Causes Reload20041007030001 Cisco Systems
  A Cisco device running Internetwork Operating System (IOS) and enabled for the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack from a malformed OSPF packet. The OSPF protocol is not enabled by default. The vulnerability is only present in Cisco IOS release trains based on 12.0S, 12.2, and 12.3. Releases based on 12.0, 12.1 mainlines, and all Cisco IOS images prior to 12.0 are not affected. Cisco has made free software available to address this vulnerability.

whitepaper Protecting the Enterprise Network: Layered Network Security Defense20040921030001 Nortel Networks
  Securing the network perimeter and prohibiting unauthorized access from within can prove to be a daunting challenge. Today's businesses must guarantee uninterrupted access to network resources. Products must be designed in their DNA to offer a high level of resiliency and security even under attack. Evolution of the enterprise and the way it does business, coupled with today's network threats, has reduced the effectiveness of traditional perimeter security. This paper describes Nortel Networks layered defense approach to network security based on the Unified Security Framework model.

whitepaper Analysis of the 802.11i 4-Way Handshake2005-10-06 03:00:02
  802.11i is an IEEE standard designed to provide enhanced MAC security in wireless networks. The authentication process involves three entities: the supplicant, the authenticator, and the authentication server. A 4-Way Handshake must be executed between the supplicant and the authenticator to derive a fresh pairwise key and/or group key for subsequent data transmissions. The paper analyzes the 4-Way Handshake protocol using a finite-state verification tool and finds a Denial-of-Service attack. The attack involves forging initial messages from the authenticator to the supplicant to produce inconsistent keys in peers. Three repairs are proposed; based on various considerations, the third one appears to be the best.   
whitepaper Top 10 Reasons Why Disk is Replacing Tape for Backup2005-02-18 06:07:16
  The fact that tape – the de-facto method for protecting data – simply doesn’t work is becoming too obvious to ignore. Industry analysts have long noted that tape backups fail to fully restore as much as 50% of the time. This level of avoidable risk is indefensible. After all, which half of data can you afford to lose? The customer orders, your email, the client records, the invoices? Fact is, nearly all of a company’s data is critical to ongoing operations and can’t be placed in jeopardy. A hot, new approach to data protection promises to address the challenges posed by today’s tape-based backup solutions. This White Paper presents the Top 10 reasons why disk-based online backup and recovery is replacing tape at today’s small and medium businesses and for organizations with remote branch offices that need a solution for centralizing backup policies and procedures across all locations.   
whitepaper Firewall White Paper20040504010352 Intoto Inc.
  This paper describes firewalls. Networks and machines are exposed to the public network and need to be protected from casual intruders to sophisticated hackers and crackers. Firewall is a security tool that provides perimeter security to the networks. It provides configurable network access, authentication before accessing services. Firewalls also protect networks from DoS (Denial-Of-Service) attacks and other common attacks, for which tools are available in the public network.
