Attacking and Defending

I will be working on a paper soon for two programs, I will have to develop a wiki for a program that defends the user and a program that attacks the user/system. I will be covering truecrypt and metasploit. I promise a very interesting article on metasploit due to the fact that is the only opensource Pen testing framework I have been able to find in my webscapde's.

Shields Up, and GRC.com

Ohh boy do I have a recommendation, first off I want to talk about grc.com and Steve Gibson the owner. Mr. Gibson is an amazing programmer who has the time to program neat little tools and host them for free in his site, the one I'm recommending today is ShieldsUp!, it is a web base port scanner that basically tell you where your firewall and your network has a exploitable hole. Aside from this amazing free tool Mr. Gibson is the proud created of SpinRite, a recovery tool from the heavens, a must see if you ever have a bad hard drive or windows corrupt on you.

the website for SpinRite and all of Steve Gibsons free tools is www.grc.com

Another Encryption vector

Did you know you can encrypt even your email connection. I love gmail, but I can't go out and say it has been the most secure of email applications. To solve this issue check out hushmail.com, don't get scam by network solutions secure ssl certificate emails. This one is completely free and is recommended by one of the founders of nmap the port scanning utility.
