[Dark Reading] Vint Cerf: Father Knows Best. Entrevista a Vint Cerf parlant, entre d'altres temes, de seguretat i Internet.
He remembers the days when being called a "hacker" was an honor. "It used to be an honorific at MIT. But the abusive practices that have become so visible on the Internet has given a bad connotation here," Cerf says. "Purists wish that we could apply some other terms so as to keep 'hacker' what it once was, but I think the language has become too polluted."
(...)
Cerf says the biggest threats are the proliferation of spam, botnets, malware, and denial-of-service attacks. "Much work is needed to increase the security of the Internet and its connected computers," he says, "and to make the environment more reliable for everyone."
Cerf says the emerging Domain Name Security (DNSSEC) technology could help secure the Net's DNS servers, which have increasingly become targets. And more filtering of source IP addresses is needed. "And use of IPSec would foil some higher-level protocol attacks, and digital signing of IP address assignment records could reduce some routing/spoofing risks," he says. OSes need to be more airtight, too, and two-factor authentication should be more the norm than plain old passwords, he says.
But Cerf knows securing his baby won't be easy. "Security is a mesh of actions and features and mechanisms," he says. "No one thing makes you secure."
(...)
- Hangout: "Used book stores."
- After hours: "When I find time, I have my nose in a book."
- Comfort food: "Haagen-Dazs."
- Actor who would play Cerf in a movie: "Well, how about that guy in 'Matrix' who played 'the Architect?'"

Books, Publications, Journals és el recull de publicacions sobre informàtica forense i evidències electròniques que manté l'E-Evidence Information Center.
Within these pages, you will find a compilation of links to material related to all aspects of Digital Forensics and Electronic Evidence.
This site was a 'side effect' of my research and learning process conducted in connection with my ongoing Computer Forensic Research, in my search to find timely material to share with the Computer Forensic community.
També hi ha un apartat d'informació específica de cada sistema: Mac, Linux, Unix, Windows, ordinadors de mà.
