Specter: A Commercial Honeypot Solution for Windows

By Lance Spitzner

This is the third installment in an ongoing series of articles looking at
honeypots. In the first two papers, we discussed the OpenSource honeypot
Honeyd, how it works, and a deployment in the wild. In this paper we will
look at a different honeypot, the commercially supported solution,
Specter.

Steganography Revealed

By Kristy Westphal

Steganography is a means of protecting the confidentiality of data by
"hiding" it within a larger file of data. This technique can be used for
both legitimate and illegitimate purposes. This article will offer a brief
introductory discussion of steganography: what it is, how it can be used,
and the implications it can have for security.
