Crypto usb

Hi
I search for a crypto engin on usb 2.0.
The engin must allow a high throu-put.
Up to now I find only usb-tokens oder signature devies.
Background: In a VPN Wlan network, build up with linksys wrt54g, is the
problem of the buthelnec by the cpu. Because the Broadcom cpu has not enough
power to server the 54 MB/s Wlan.

So I need a usb device with overtake the crypto rutines.
Thx
Ryven

ps. Sorry about my bad english.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : spamassassin
Vulnerability : mail header parsing error
Problem type : remote DOS
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CAN-2005-1266
Debian Bug : 314447

A vulnerability was recently found in the way that SpamAssassin parses
certain email headers. This vulnerability could cause SpamAssassin to
consume a large number of CPU cycles when processing messages containing
these headers, leading to a potential denial of service (DOS) attack.

The version of SpamAssassin in the old stable distribution (woody) is
not vulnerable.

For the stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.0.3-2. Note that packages are not yet ready for certain
architectures; these will be released as they become available.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.0.4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your sarge or sid spamassassin package.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url

[SECURITY] [DSA 735-1] New sudo packages fix pathname validation race

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Debian Security Advisory 735-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Michael Stone

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : sudo
Vulnerability : pathname validation race
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CAN-2005-1993
Debian Bug : 315115

A local user who has been granted permission to run commands via sudo
could run arbitrary commands as a privileged user due to a flaw in
sudo's pathname validation. This bug only affects configurations which
have restricted user configurations prior to an ALL directive in the
configuration file. A workaround is to move any ALL directives to the
beginning of the sudoers file; see the advisory at
http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/alerts/path_race.html for more information.

For the old stable Debian distribution (woody), this problem has been
fixed in version 1.6.6-1.3woody1. For the current stable distribution
(sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.8p7-1.1sarge1. Note
that packages are not yet ready for certain architectures; these will be
released as they become available.

We recommend that you upgrade your sudo package.

Today's focus: Sprint sets deadline to switch off legacy nets -
Is there reason to panic?

By Tim Greene

Sprint is accelerating the adoption of IP VPN services by
declaring it will shut down its frame relay and ATM services in
four years.

Doing so will force its customers to either make the transition
to Layer 2 and Layer 3 IP services or go elsewhere. But
customers are likely to come up against similar pushes by other
carriers that want to move to IP, even if they have yet to set a
concrete deadline, as Sprint has.

The trend has been for service providers to add IP connections
to existing frame relay and ATM networks they provide for their
customers. This integration gives customers the option to expand
their WANs without ripping out their current networks to adopt
IP all at once. Customers get experience with IP and service
providers can keep customers on their frame relay networks until
their IP networks are fully ready.

Meanwhile, customers reap the benefit of lower IP prices that
are designed to lure frame relay users.

There is no reason to panic here. So far Sprint is the only
major carrier to issue a deadline, and it is giving so much lead
time that most businesses will be able to figure out what they
want to do before it's time to renew their service contracts.

Customers who are satisfied with frame relay and reluctant to
switch to IP will likely be able to hang onto their service for
awhile given how pervasive frame relay is and given that frame
relay can be used as an access technology to an IP MPLS backbone
network. What looks like frame relay to the customer could in
fact be carried over the provider's IP backbone, an arrangement
that should be agreeable to both frame-relay diehards and
service providers eager to simplify their networks.

Businesses with frame relay and ATM WANs should explore IP VPN
services as an alternative for two reasons. It seems that the
transition is inevitable, so they should familiarize themselves
with it. And two, with service providers encouraging customers
to adopt IP, customers should be on the lookout for bargains,
which is one of the most effective enticements service providers
have to steer customers in the direction they want them to go.

Today's roundup of virus alerts:

W32/Rbot-AGH - An Rbot variant that exploits the Windows LSASS
and RPC-DCOM vulnerabilities as it spreads through network
shares. It installs "LimeWire.exe" on the infected machine and
allows backdoor access through IRC. (Sophos)

W32/Sdbot-ZM - This Sdbot variant exploits a number of known
Windows flaws in its attempt to infect a machine. If successful,
it drops "nawdll32.exe" in the Windows System directory and it
can allow backdoor access via IRC. (Sophos)

Troj/Drivol-A - A Trojan that attempts to download and run
malicious code from a remote Web site. It initially installs
"fvek.exe" on the infected machine. (Sophos)

W32/Mytob-BV - Wow, another Mytob variant. Again, it spreads
through e-mail and network shares, providing backdoor access to
the infected machine through IRC. This particular variant drops
"TimeManager.exe" on the infected machine. (Sophos)

Troj/Pyfls-A - Another Trojan that tries to download additional
malicious code from a preconfigured site. It drops "b.tmp" on
the infected host. (Sophos)

W32.Codbot.AL - A new bot that can be used to log keystrokes and
download malware. It spreads by exploiting some well-known
Windows vulnerabilities and provides unauthorized access through
IRC. (Panda Software)

W32.Semapi.A - An e-mail worm that uses variable message
attributes when it spreads. Fortunately, it does display the
message "semapi.dll" cannot be found. (Panda Software)

Today's focus: Securing the CIRT: Walk the talk

By M. E. Kabay

For many months, I have been dipping into the Department of
Defense CD-ROM called "Introduction to Computer Incident
Response Team (CIRT) Management" in my series on CIRTs. This
week I want to expand on a theme presented late in that course:
the importance of securing the CIRT and more broadly, of using
our own advice.

The course narrator very properly notes:

"Once the CIRT becomes known, it will be an attractive target
for intruder attacks. A security breach at your CIRT site can be
devastating to your reputation and have repercussions for the
commands you support; in terms of security procedures, practice
what you preach. You will need to provide solid physical, host,
and network security in addition to appropriate staff training."

He continues:

"A compromise of any data related to incidents can have legal
repercussions as well as financial and credibility consequences.
What types of data need to be secured? Incident reports,
electronic mail, vulnerability reports, and even briefing notes
and slides."

More generally, all security personnel should be scrupulous in
respecting security regulations and best practices.

I was just chatting before I wrote this piece with some security
officers at a large corporation who were doing a due-diligence
interview with me before approving enrollment for one of their
employees in our graduate program. The questions centered around
the confidentiality of company-specific information in the case
study reports that the student would submit for grading during
the 18-month program.

I explained that no student is expected to reveal his or her
employer's name or even location; that students use an internal
e-mail address defined by our teaching platform and used on our
access-controlled extranet; and finally that all of our
instructors are themselves security professionals. I said that
it is a matter of course for security professionals to be under
nondisclosure whether a contract is signed or not - at least, to
maintain a professional reputation. We all agreed that working
in security eventually affects our behavior in a reflex way; we
laughed that it's almost impossible not to look away when
someone enters a password on a keyboard.

Another example of practicing what we preach is backups. For a
security professional to lose data because of a lack of backups
would be intensely embarrassing.

I constantly urge my students to do backups of their schoolwork
so that they never have to repeat what they have already done in
case of a disk failure or a human error. Personally, I can
demonstrate that I do a differential backup every day, clone my
main computer's disk to my laptop at least once a week (actually
daily when I'm teaching undergraduate courses) and create a full
backup to DVDs once a month. I've only had a few occasions over
these last decades when I needed those backups, but the minor
effort involved was more than repaid by the ease of recovery and
by the ability to look someone straight in the eye when telling
them how to protect their data.

We have to walk what we talk.

Today's focus: Novell guides transition to OES

By Dave Kearns

Last issue, I told you about Novell's "Where to Start: Open
Enterprise Server Migration Guide" which outlines six fairly
easy and straightforward projects to help you begin to explore
OES and the wonders of familiar NetWare utilities and services
running on Linux.

After you've gotten your feet wet with these demonstration
projects, Novell hopes you'll be ready to plunge right in and go
for a full-fledged move to OES. To help you plan a successful
migration, Novell has made available a deployment guide (
<http://www.networkworld.com/nlnovell2946> ).

The guide has quick links to the documentation for the tools
you'll need to perform the following "move to OES" tasks:

* Installing a new OES-on-NetWare server.
* Installing a new OES-on-Linux server.
* Consolidating NetWare/Windows NT/Windows 2000/Windows 2003
  servers onto OES (either NetWare or Linux).
* Migrating data from a NetWare server to OES.
* Upgrading SuSE Linux Enteprise Server 9 to OES.
* Upgrading NetWare 4, 5 or 6 to OES.

But even before doing that, there's a very helpful guide to help
you get the network right the first time. The Getting Started
guide is in five parts: assessment, design, implementation,
training and support. Each section talks about why you need that
step and then outlines a methodology to follow to help you reach
the goals you have for the network. The assessment phase, for
example, asks you to consider (among other things):

* How well a migration to OES fits your corporate strategy.
* What your stakeholder and business requirements are.
* What open source services and applications are available to
  meet your needs.
* Whether regulatory policies and requirements need to be taken
  into account.

The Guide then goes on to point you to specific white papers (as
well as "beige papers" - documents written by the team that did
Novell's own OES deployment) that will help you implement what
the assessment has told you that you need to do.

There's a lot at stake for Novell in OES, possibly the fate of
the company. It's going to do whatever it can to see that your
first venture into OES-land is as pleasant an experience as
possible. You should at least explore the possibility of doing
this migration.

Today's focus: Evident Software baselines usage with NetFlow

By Denise Dubie

Evident Software last week announced a service at Cisco's
Networkers 2005 conference in Las Vegas that takes advantage of
the NetFlow information on Cisco gear.

Evident's representatives say the company is making its IT usage
and accounting software available as a service to customers
looking to get a better handle on application usage for
cost-cutting measures. Tapping NetFlow, Evident's professional
services group can help IT managers at large enterprise
companies get granular information on the assets they know they
have and the assets they may not be entirely aware of - as well
as who's using them.

"Other tools use NetFlow to track performance and availability
information," says Helen Donnelly, Evident's vice president of
marketing. "Evident's Usage Baseline service uses NetFlow to
help IT managers get a report on what assets are being used, how
and by whom."

NetFlow is a part of Cisco's IOS software that shows how
specific applications are being used and how that usage affects
the network. Vendors such as NetQoS, NetScout and AdventNet use
NetFlow to help improve performance on enterprise nets.

Donnelly says Evident can help large companies begin an IT
governance initiative. For example, IBM's office of the CIO
estimates it will save 6% of its global network costs with the
IT intelligence provided by Evident. And Fidelity Investments
has also saved over $90 million since implementing Evident,
according to the company.

The Usage Baseline requires customers to install Evident's
software in their data centers while the professional services
group does its work. The software resides on Microsoft Windows
or Sun Solaris servers and collects application flows, or
conversation data, from a variety of network probes, devices,
servers and end users. Evident uses a distributed model and
recommends users install its software on servers across networks
and in data centers. A centralized server collects the data from
distributed servers and acts as an administration console for IT
managers.

The Usage Baseline is available immediately for $150,000, to
assess a single data center in a period of four to eight weeks.

Today's focus: Many organizations don't have e-mail policies

By Michael Osterman

As part of a major survey we just wrapped up on hosted
messaging, we asked organizations about the e-mail policies that
they have established - or that they haven't.

We found that the most commonly instituted e-mail policy focused
on limiting the amount of storage per server through the
establishment of quotas. Three out of four organizations have
such policies, which are typically designed to maintain an
acceptable number of mailboxes per server, to keep back-up and
restore times at reasonable levels and so forth.

Less common, however, are policies related the retention or
deletion of e-mail. We found that fewer than half of
organizations have retention policies in place that specify how
long to keep e-mail, while only slightly more have retention
policies focused on limiting the length of time that e-mail can
be kept. Even fewer organizations have policies about when to
delete e-mail.

One of the problems organizations face if they do not have
appropriate policies regarding e-mail retention or deletion is
that they expose themselves to greater liability in the event of
a lawsuit or regulatory action. For example, imagine that a
court orders a plaintiff to turn over to a defendant all
relevant e-mail from five senior executives that discuss a
particular topic. If the plaintiff is unable to do so, a court
can instruct a jury to consider that the plaintiff might have
had something to hide in those e-mail messages and to take that
into account in their deliberations - not a very welcome
prospect if you're being sued.

Similarly, if you're being investigated by a government agency
and you keep stuff in e-mail longer than you must, you might be
exposing yourself to greater liability. For example, my neighbor
used to be a senior executive at a company in the aircraft
industry. His company was required to keep certain types of
documents for seven years - at seven years plus one day, all of
those documents were destroyed in order to limit potential
liability.

In short, all organizations should have an e-mail retention
policy in place that focuses on retention and deletion
schedules, acceptable use of e-mail and the like. I'd like to
hear your thoughts on this issue - please drop me a line at

LICENSE TO KILL

Mainstream companies are starting to reap benefits from
harnessing unused computing power. By lashing together sometimes
hundreds of servers to create a powerful grid, businesses are
using their technology better. But software licensing,
organizational and cultural issues, and data management can be
barriers to grid adoption. Find out how to overcome these
barriers - click here:

Today's focus: Using Bluetooth for more than a wireless headset

By Keith Shaw

Over the past two years, I've been hosting the Network World
Wireless & Mobility Technology Tour (the latest tour finished
just last week in Denver and Boston). The tour's keynote
speaker, Craig Mathias of the Farpoint Group, always asks the
audience whether they are using Bluetooth. A smattering of hands
go up in the air, and then he asks them if they are using
Bluetooth for something other than a wireless headset for their
phones. Most of the hands go down.

If you are serious about using Bluetooth for something other
than a headset, head to the Mobile Action Web site (
<http://global.mobileaction.com/product/product_Bluetooth.jsp> )
to read up on its new Handset Manager MA-720, a Bluetooth data
suite that aims to link cellular phones with PCs. The latest
versions adds more device access and improves data transfer
speeds, as well as provide a single platform for all
Bluetooth-enabled Mobile Action Handset Manager models, the
company says.

The $54.95 MA-720 comes with an ivory white Bluetooth dongle and
accompanying software that matches a user's cellular handset.
The software (Handset Manager Version 9.0) supports 20 languages
and more than 80 GSM, CDMA and 3G phone models (go to
<http://www.mobileaction.com/> for a complete list and the
latest software versions). The system supports any PC's
Bluetooth Human Input Devices (HID), including keyboards and
mice, Mobile Action says. The new version now supports wireless
applications and devices such as MSN Messenger and Skype, and
the dongle driver supports Windows XP Service Pack 2.

But connecting to a PC is just the beginning of the software -
it has a phone book editor that lets you edit, back up and
organize your contacts list on a PC and upload it via Bluetooth
to the phone; a calendar synchronization application; a picture
editor that lets you compose and edit pictures and GIF clips
into animations; an MP3 clipper that lets you clip parts of an
MP3 file in order to create MP3 ring tones; and an audio
composer that lets you edit personal polyphonic ring tones with
up to 128 different instruments.
