CERT

CERT is the Computer Emergency Response Team that was formed by the American Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in November 1988 in response to the needs exhibited during the Internet worm incident. The CERT charter is to work with the Internet community to facilitate its response to computer security events involving Internet hosts, to take proactive steps to raise the community's awareness of computer security issues, and to conduct research targeted at improving the security of existing systems.
CERT products and services include 24-hour technical assistance for responding to computer security incidents, product vulnerability assistance, technical documents, and seminars. In addition, the team maintains a number of mailing lists (including one for CERT advisories) and provides an anonymous FTP server: cert.org (192.88. 209.5), where security-related documents, past CERT advisories, and tools are archived.

DREAMWAEVER 3

Macromedia's Dreamweaver 3 is an HTML design program that represents a major step forward in the evolution of WYSIWYG design tools. Instead of trying to protect you from HTML, Dreamweaver embraces it while still putting a full palette of design tools at your disposal. It's an extremely powerful program. Though it's tough to master, Dreamweaver is worth the trouble for anyone set on being a Web-design professional. Dreamweaver doesn't have a unified desktop you work with a series of floating modules that can be opened or closed depending on your immediate needs. Your actual workspace is the Document window, in which you build your page. You can conveniently drop elements into the Document window from Explorer or other sources. Highlight a specific asset or text, and a status bar at the bottom of the Document window displays the HTML tags that control what you've highlighted.
A configurable Launcher toolbar allows you to quickly manage and launch additional modules. The Site module, for instance, uses two windows to display local and remote files. You can transfer files via FTP by dragging them from one window to the other. The Library palette lets you drag assets, templates, styles, or complete style sheets to and from the Document window. The 'Behaviors' module performs like an object-oriented library, letting you drop events or actions onto text or graphics at will. And the History module not only stores your previous actions, but it also allows you to save them singularly or in groups to create a macro library. The program even has an HTML Source window, but because HomeSite ships with Dreamweaver, you're likely to use this only for simple, quick fixes. A separate Object palette provides easy access to common commands and special elements such as frames and forms. In addition, a context-sensitive inspector is always on hand. It displays and lets you edit information about whatever asset is currently highlighted. Dreamweaver' s learning curve is a small price to pay for a program this powerful, especially if it's a tool critical to your profession. Fortunately, the online help is well-constructed and navigable, and the consistent (if initially confusing) interface is strong enough to get you past any hurdles in a reasonable amount of time.

FIREWALL

In computing, a firewall is a system that is set up to control traffic flow between two networks.
Firewalls are most commonly specially configured Unix systems, but firewalls have also been built out of many other systems, including systems designed specifically for use as firewalls. The most common firewall today is CheckPoint FireWall-1, but competitions such as Cisco's PIX are quickly catching up on CheckPoint. One type of firewall is the packet filtering
firewall. In a packet filtering firewall, the firewall examines five characteristics of a packet: Source IP address Source port Destination IP address Destination port IP protocol (TCP or UDP) Based upon rules configured into the firewall, the packet will either be allowed through, rejected, or dropped. If the firewall rejects the packet, it sends a message back to the sender letting him know that the packet was rejected. If the packet was dropped, the firewall simply does not respond to the packet. The sender must wait for the communications to time out. Dropping packets instead of rejecting them greatly increases the time required to scan your network. Packet filtering
firewalls operate on Layer 3 of the OSI model, the Network Layer.

Routers are a very common form of packet filtering firewall. An improved form of the packet filtering firewall is a packet filtering firewall with a stateful inspection engine. With this enhancement, the firewall 'remembers' conversations between systems. It is then necessary to fully examine only the first packet of a conversation.

Another type of firewall is the application-proxy firewall. In a proxying firewall, every packet is stopped at the firewall. The packet is then examined and compared to the rules configured into the firewall. If the packet passes the examinations, it is re-created and sent out. Because each packet is destroyed and re-created, there is a potential that an application-proxy firewall can prevent unknown attacks based upon weaknesses in the TCP/IP protocol suite that would not be prevented by a packet filtering firewall. The drawback is that a separate application-proxy must be written for each application type being proxied. You need an HTTP proxy for web traffic, an FTP proxy for file transfers, a Gopher proxy for Gopher traffic, etc. Application-proxy firewalls operate on Layer 7 of the OSI model, the Application Layer. Application-gateway firewalls also operate on Layer 7 of the OSI model. Application-gateway firewalls exist for only a few network applications.

A typical application-gateway firewall is a system where you must telnet to one system in order telnet again to a system outside of the network. Another type of application-proxy firewall are SOCKS firewalls. Where normal application-proxy firewalls do not require modifications to network clients, SOCKS firewalls requires specially modified network clients. This means you have to modify every system on your internal network which needs to communicate with the external network. On a Windows or OS/2 system, this can be as easy as swapping a few DLL's.

FTP BOUNCE

FTP Bounce is a method of hacking or breaking into a computer network and exploits a security hole in many FTP servers that allow the FTP server to open a connection to any computer connected to it via the 'port' command, allowing the client computer access to a computer it would not otherwise be allowed to access. Using this method of attack, a hacker can log into one computer on the internet, and tell that computer (via the FTP port command) to log in to another computer on the internet. The target computer being unaware of the hacker's real computer identity or IP address. The solution, in simple terms, is to use an FTP server that does not allow connections to any computer other than the client, and to use separate computers on the network for FTP servers etc, with 'firewall' protection software between them.

BACK CONSTRUCTION

Back Construction is a remote access and FTP server Trojan for Windows 95 and Windows 98 created in 1999. It is typically used to allow file upload and download to take place secretly in the background without the computer owner being aware of the transfers.
Back Construction uses TCP/IP ports 21, 666, 5400, 5401 and 5402. Popular file names for the Back Construction Trojan are: Back12.zip - 374,919 bytes; Back15.zip - 425,599 bytes; Back21.zip - 431,945 bytes; Back25.zip - 447,210 bytes; Client.exe - 208,896 bytes; Client.exe - 258,048 bytes; Client.exe - 267,264 bytes; Client.exe - 270,848 bytes; Server.exe - 177,664 bytes; Server.exe - 179,200 bytes; Server.exe - 179,712 bytes; Server.exe - 189,440 bytes; and Cmctl32.exe, When installed Back Construction creates Windows registry entries thus: HU\Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ and HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\General\Settings\
