  • cDc Cult Of The Dead Cow. These Guys 0wn.

    Textfiles.com How did we get to where we are now? Where did it all begin? Social archeologist Jason Scott catalogues and presents for us a veritable history of online culture, as demonstrated by the efforts and works of those who comprised (and compromised) it.

    23.org The Official Site of the Conspiracy. Not to be confused with Saturn, the Official Car of the Conspiracy.

    Dis.Org "Dis.org's propensity for casual violence is no different than a common street gang" -Carolin P. Meinel

    New Hack City Don't Mess with the NewHacks!

    L0pht Heavy Industries Well, it used to be the L0pht. Now it's @stake, and somehow, it just ain't the same.
    Home of L0phtcrack and all your Zero-Day whitepapers.

    Brian Enigma's NetNinja Site Author of the first handful of ButtPlugins for BO, as well as a useful site with plenty of resource pointers.

Now! News for nerds! Updated throughout the day with sometimes relevant and topical information.



  • Security Specific Sites

  • Treachery Unlimted is founded on one simple principle: "By seeing your defenses through the eyes of your worst enemy, you become your best guardian." Excellent repository of data and security items. What this site aspires to be.

    SecurityFocus, brought to you by some of the sharpest minds sitting on the forefront of security related issues.

    The wonderment brought to us by Rain Forest Puppy. He rocks. Don't argue.




  • System Hardware

  • Celeron Overclocking Faq





  • Applications

  • Check Point's FIREWALL-1
    Phoneboy's Firewall-1 FAQs. Great resource depot for real-world based FW1 issues and solutions.

    qmail

    qmail's actual homepage is maintained by its author. Don't expect to find much beyond a tarball to download here, tho.

    However, www.qmail.org is a much better resource.

    It's recommended by just about everyone to read Life With qmail first. The document is available from the site in a variety of formats. The doc has a tendency to go pretty far in some directions without explaning a lot of the 'why?' behind the actions it walks you through.

    qmail's FAQ has some value, but also sucks for answering rather simple questions. To that degree, you should find yourself referrencing Chris Johnson's qmail dox.




  • Security Applications

  • It's mentioned above, but l0phtcrack 2.52 is available for download from reznor.com here (the West Coast Mirror).
    [ UPDATE ] l0phtcrack 3 is also currently available!

    Retina, from eEye, is the dopest Security Analyzer known to man. Beats the living shit out of ISS.

    Ethereal is the free packet analyzer for Unices and Win platforms.

    The Nessus Security Scanner is not recommended by us for the newbie or beginner, or faint of heart. Do not use if under a doctor's care of taking prescription medication.

    "The Packetfactory is a clearing house for cool-ass network and network security related endeavors." That's what they have to say about themselves. Lolly, Lolly, get your libnets here.

  • Linux

  • Psionic Software Producers of ultra-efficient LogSentry, PortSentry, and HostSentry All three are magnificient tools for security monitoring of your systems.

    Freshmeat.net Resource for Linux Apps, Libraries, etc.

    Charles Cazabon has several useful utilities.




  • Vendor Sponsored Operating System Security References

  • LinuxISO.org

    Sun's Security Bulletin Archive

    Silicon Graphics, Inc.

    Redhat Errata, for updates and patches.

    Just to be complete, we have included Microsoft, tho we know that no one interested in security would use a product from a company more driven by marketing than integrity.
    More of value is MS's Security Best Practices site.

    To justify our statements of why we feel the "embrace and extend" (ie, "copy and break and lock out competition") isn't working for some people, we'll include the link to Sir Dystic's MS Development depot, as well as cDc's Back Orifice 2000 (which, despite claims, makes one badass remote admin utility. It's saved me much time and effort in large installations). Further doubt as to it's legitimacy can be quelled here. Oh, and while we're at it, IBM's Netfinity client/server product sucks the big one. (No, they don't even get a link).

    This man is a saint, gifted with the skills of eloquently relaying thoughts that many
    of us have had in some lucid sense. His output reads well and often times sums up
    that which we cannot.

    Hack Proofing Your Network
    Authors Ryan Russell (SecurityFocus.com), Mudge (l0pht), Rain Forest Puppy, Blue Boar, Dan "Effugas" Kaminsky, Oliver Friedrichs, and Riley "Caezar" Eller among others contributing. From the cover quote by Kevin Mitnick:
    "Ryan Russell has an important message for us all: "What you don't know *will* hurt you." In his book, "Hack Proofing Your Network: Internet Tradecraft" Ryan reveals the "how to" of systems penetration techniques that intruders may use against you! While "full disclosure" is a two-edged sword, the benefits include forcing software manufacturers to quickly fix security holes and informing potential victims of the vulnerabilities that exist in their infrastructures." --Kevin Mitnick

  • "The SECOND AMENDMENT SISTERS, Inc. came about in December 1999, when a group of women decided they had enough: enough of the distortion, the misrepresentation, and the reproach from the anti-Second Amendment crowd." 'Nuff said.

    Dave Barry is a syndicated columnist for the Miami Herald.
    His humour is slight, subtle, and outstanding. We've been busting a gut to him for years now.
    We think you should, too!

    Good Omens, by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.
    The world ends next Saturday. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride motorcycles, and Hell has misplaced the Antichrist.
    Damn good book, in the vein of Adams and Monty Python. One of the few good thing's I've read in years.
