Security

"This article considers security aspects of internetwork routing, and gives an overview of basic IP router security practices. I don't intend for this to be a complete list, nor specific to a particular vendor's routers. Rather, I present some general areas of concern -- a roadmap for tightening the security of your routers. While this discussion applies to all routers, it is most critical for Internet-facing or other 'border' routers." By Fred Avolio.

"Pen testers may often go after the more glamorous or fun systems to hack, such as the vulnerable Solaris 8 system, or the Microsoft 2000 server vulnerable to the slew of recent RPC DCOM holes, leaving the core network infrastructure devices alone. I would caution the pen tester to think twice about overlooking these critical systems, for these are the proverbial keys to the kingdom." SecurityFocus, 9/29/03.
