PDD

More IPsec stuff: @stake Research Labs, formerly L0pht Heavy Industries, has recently released pdd. From the webpage:

pdd is “the first tool of its kind for forensic analysis of Palm OS platform devices. [It] is a Windows-based tool for Palm OS memory imagingand forensic acquisition. The Palm OS Console Mode is used to acquire memory card information and to create a bit- for-bit image of the selected memory region.

Thwarting the Wily Hacker

A windows server that a customer handles got exploited and used as an FTP repository for a few hours last week. While driving to Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving, I walked him through applying an access control list (ACL) to his router’s ethernet port to stop the abusive traffic. He’s become much more interested in how ACLs work, so today when the topic was mentioned on NANOG’s mailing list, I forwarded this long list of network security links to him. Like most lists of links, some are more useful than others. =]

Smartftp

I’m trying out SmartFTP, and I’m quite impressed.

For years I used LeechFTP, which has ceased development and is getting rather hoary with age. Any new FTP client would have to have the following features: free (not shareware, not a demo), multithreaded downloads, queueing support, resume-on-fail support, and an interface that wasn’t designed by a blind monkey. So far, SmartFTP has beaten out the rest on all of these fronts.
