I seem to recall an effort to develop a standard set of such icons for infowar. (There were panel discussions of it at the final National Infosec Conference; perhaps a look at the proceedings - look at NIST's security clearinghouse for an online version - would provide additional information) I know that a small group of us were working on this, too, for use in computer security training. -Becky Bace

I was mulling all of this over while I was tinkering around with some new visualisation tools for the NIDS software I've been working on. The result is a new GUI widget or two that will probably be in the next release of my code. It seems to me (and this might just be hubris) that the symbology and diagramming methodology I worked out might be of more general interest. So, I present a draft of a document describing the symbols and diagrams for review, discussion, criticism, revision, derision, and whatnot. The draft can be found at: http://www.meshuggeneh.net/shoki/symbols/ I'm unaware of any existing standards of this sort, with the exception of the systems I allude to above (and in the draft document) which have the weaknesses I address. If someone is aware of an existing standard or system similar to the one I propose, a pointer would be much appreciated. - -Steve - ----- 0 This isn't entirely true; in fact, I have the paper-and-dice rules for the latest edition of ASL. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7653fG3kIaxeRZl8RAlKhAJ98jBDPCnhJog8AeP2IWt5rT1ZjwwCeJmy7 GK3QSAA7sCS58PkOu0idrvk= =j57W -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
