pgp Key Signing Observations: Overlooked Social and Technical Considerations - While there are several sources of technical information on using pgp in general, and key signing in particular, this article emphasizes social aspects of key signing that are too often ignored, misleading or incorrect in the technical literature. There are also technical issues pointed out where I believe other documentation to be lacking. It is important to acknowledge and address social aspects in a system such as pgp, because the weakest link in the system is the human that is using it. The algorithms, protocols and applications used as part of a pgp system are relatively difficult to compromise or 'break', but the human user can often be easily fooled. Since the human is the weak link in this chain, attention must be paid to actions and decisions of that human; users must be aware of the pitfalls and know how to avoid them.

| IPCop-OpenVPN HOWTO | ||
30th, March, 2006
I’m a huge fan of IPCop. It’s a great firewall distro that makes administration a snap using a slick web interface. My goal was to use IPCop and an easy-to-use VPN client to allow access to my LAN while away from home. I ended up going with the ZERINA OpenVPN addon for IPCop and the OpenVPN GUI for Windows. If you’ve ever wanted full, secure, encrypted access to your LAN from any remote location, here is your guide. |

| Defeating the Hacker | ||
31st, March, 2006
Way back in the early 1980s, Robert Schifreen shot to notoriety as one of the hackers who broke into Prince Philip's mailbox on the Prestel service. It was this case that, after the Law Lords ruled that the forgery laws did not cover typing a user name and password into a computer screen, instigated the drafting and passage of the Computer Misuse Act in 1984. Schifreen has spent the intervening years being a respectable computer journalist, and his specialty -- as you might expect -- is security. Defeating the Hacker: A Non-Technical Guide to IT Security is the result of years of writing, research and speaking at conferences on security topics. |

Increasingly, IT departments are becoming the hub of the company, and more and more companies expect their IT managers to accomplish a variety of tasks with limited resources. In fact, having an established plan goes far to empower smaller firms so they’ll be able to play with the “big boys†| ||
