Last week we posted an
article written by Ratter, the author of the first Windows CE virus.
This week we look at the techniques Ratter used to create the
virus, including a previous unknown method for hooking into DLLs without
the standard import section using what could be considered one of the
first vulnerabilities/exploits for Windows Mobile.
In addition, we have an article titled Electronic Evidence Can't Be Shredded
that outlines the many problems associated with data storage and its
value as evidence. How do you handle email storage? Are you backing
this data up? Are your users aware that their emails may be available
for evidence 10 years from now? These are all questions IT
administrators need to answer. Related to this is another article titled
Executing an IT Audit for
Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance that provides you with a guideline on
performing your own audit.
Finally, we have updated the Security Reference Guide with a new section
on Natural Wireless Jamming where we clearly illustrate just how
damaging Bluetooth, wireless phones, and microwaves can be to your
wireless network. As always, please check out the blog section and feel
free to comment on Virus Disclosure! |
