RSS packetsRecession hitting low paid IT jobs
News But while recruitment freezes could be helping to prop up IT industry wage levels above £25k, as fewer grads get jobs in tech, the good news for existing IT workers is that the freeze has not necessarily extended to their pay... [24 Nov 2009]
Pay for IT chiefs weathers the storm
News Despite the cost-cutting forced on many organisations by the recession, pay packets for the IT management team have held up - and for some even grown. According to the exclusive silicon.com 2009 Skills Survey a greater... [23 Nov 2009]
A Chipset Level Network Backdoor: Bypassing Host-Based Firewall & IDS
White Paper The network backdoor has the ability to both covertly send out packets and receive packets, without the need to disable security software installed in the compromised host in order to hide its presence. [12 Nov 2009]
Vulnerability Analysis of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) DoS Attack Over Wireless Networks
White Paper Unfortunately, 802.1x includes some unprotected EAP packets during authentication process which can be easily exploited by an attacker to start different types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks over wireless networks. [12 Nov 2009]
Easily Cleanup Firewall Clutter: Work More Effectively and Extend Your Hardware's Lifespan
White Paper On the perimeter alone firewalls filter millions of packets daily. In light of the current economic climate, organizations are increasingly seeking ways to maximize their infrastructure to receive a better return on... [12 Nov 2009]
Finding an Optimized Discriminate Function for Internet Application Recognition
White Paper Firewall stops the transfer of such packets through several ways, but in some cases they do not use firewall because of its blind packet stopping, high process power needed and expensive prices. Everyday the usages of... [11 Nov 2009]
QoS: What Is It? Why Do We Need It?
White Paper Quality of Service (QoS) is the ability to treat packets differently as they transit a network device, based on the packet contents. Without QoS, all packets on the network vie for the same pool of... [03 Nov 2009]
Access control Lists (ACLs)
White Paper In Cisco IOS, ACLs are used for many things, including, but not limited to, filtering data packets (firewalling), controlling Telnet or SSH access to a router or switch, filtering routing protocols, specifying Quality of... [03 Nov 2009]
A Performance Comparison of Routing Protocols for Large-Scale Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
White Paper It is commonly known to the wireless research community that efficient routing algorithms can provide significant benefits in ad hoc networks, including larger throughput, lower average end-to-end delay, fewer lost data... [30 Oct 2009]
DDoS: A Threat You Can't Afford to Ignore
White Paper Distributed denial of service, otherwise known as DDoS, refers to a form of attack whereby a number of source IPs simultaneously send an abnormally large number of packets to a particular destination, thereby... [06 Oct 2009]
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks: Latest Motivations and Methods
White Paper A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack aims to intentionally deprive legitimate users of a resource (or service) provided by a system, typically by overloading that system with a flood of data packets from... [06 Oct 2009]
Denial of Service Attacks in Networks With Tiny Buffers
White Paper Recently, several papers have studied the possibility of shrinking buffer sizes in Internet core routers to just a few dozen packets under certain constraints. If proven right, these results can open doors to building... [02 Oct 2009]
A Principle of a Data Synthesizer for Performance Test of Anti-DDOS Flood Attacks
White Paper Real events of DDOS flood attacks show that an attacked site (e.g.server) usually may not be overwhelmed immediately at the moment attack packets arrive at that site but sometime late. Distributed Denial-Of-Service... [02 Oct 2009]
Empirical Study of Tolerating Denial-of-Service Attacks With the Fosel Architecture
White Paper Experimental study shows that by employing the Fosel architecture, DoS attacks have a negligible chance to saturate the target by malicious packets. Filtering techniques are one of the main approaches to protect... [02 Oct 2009]
Buffer Management for Colored Packets With Deadlines
White Paper The paper considers buffer management of unit packets with deadlines for a multi-port device with reconfiguration overhead. The goal is to maximize the throughput of the device, i.e.the number of packets... [16 Sep 2009]
