- For additional information, help on various subjects, etc., there
- are various resources available on the net. By no means is this list
- exclusive:
-
- alt.security -- high noise, but has some real gems in here. If
- you had to read one newsgroup/mailing list for security, this is it.
- If you don't read it, you're endangering your system by not keeping
- up on the latest methods used to attack and defend systems...
-
- comp.risks -- a moderated newsgroup that talks about the risks of
- computing, often discussing computer security.
-
- comp.unix.wizards -- a high noise free-for-all group that has
- some choice tidbits of information. Now that this is gone, you might
- check out comp.unix.esoterica, or any of the other weird new names.
- *I* voted to keep comp.unix.wizards :-)
-
- Security Mailing list -- moderated by Neil Gorsuch, fits and bursts
- of information that can be gotten nowhere else. Hard to join the elite
- who are on the list, and a long wait for acceptance. Security programs
- can be snarfed off of this list at times.
-
- CERT -- the Computer Emergency Response Team has a mailling list
- devoted to the development of security tools. As quoted from
- their initial mailing:
-
- "The Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center (CERT/CC) has
- established a new Internet mailing list named CERT-TOOLS. This new
- mailing list is now available.
-
- The purpose of this new mailing list is to encourage the exchange of
- information on security tools and security techniques. The list
- should not be used for security problem reports.
- [...]
- Mailing list problems, additions, changes, and deletions requests should
- be sent to:
- cert-tools-request@cert.sei.cmu.edu
-
- [...]
- CERT/CC is planning to collect many of the tools and will make the
- archive available via anonymous ftp on the cert.sei.cmu.edu system.
- A trusted archive service will also be available for tools not intended
- for general public usage.
-
- All mail intended to be redistributed should be mailed to:
- cert-tools@cert.sei.cmu.edu
-
- Computer Emergency Response Team
- Email: cert@cert.sei.cmu.edu
- Telephone: 412-268-7090 (answers 24 hours a day)"
