Not sure if this qualifies as it is software rather than information, but

http://www.ethereal.com/

is the homepage of the open source Ethereal network analysis product.

The Oxygen newsletter mentioned above is a must have for anyone involved with security, virii and all those things. It's put out by Panda but anyone can get it if you don't mind a few advertisements.

Thanks a Lot for all the feed back,in the last few months i've secured my job
This a great acomplishment that im very happy to share.

About Security, I check these sites every day:

We have Checkpoint firewall, so:

http://www.checkpoint.com/techsupport/alerts/index.html

http://www.checkpoint.com/defense/advisories/public/summary.html

New Viruses

http://www.pandasoftware.es/virus_info/ultamenazas.aspx

http://www.sophos.com

http://www.kaspersky.com

Small antivirus companies, give very early warnings, panda rates virus/worms from 1 to 4, experience tells me, rate 4 requires atention, meaning checking network traffic, IDS patterns, etc.

http://www.nod32.com/home/home.htm

Sources of security knowledge

http://www.sans.org

Check the top twenty list, is a must!

http://csrc.nist.gov/

Checklist and guidelines

Things worth reading are BS7799, CISSP, Common Criteria, Orange Book (ITSEC). Though i cannot tell how to get them.


Thanks again for all the feed Back.
