A Guide to Cryptography in PHP
( 155 days 13 hours ago)
LinuxSecurity.com: In an ideal world, words like cryptography and security wouldn't even exist, but the real world is far from perfect, so software developers have to spend a good deal of time building security into applications. Cryptography is just one piece of the security puzzle, along with SSL/TLS, certificates, digital signatures, and so on. This article explains how to use PHP to implement the most common cryptographic algorithms. In addition to describing PHP's default encryption functions, you'll see how to use a wide variety of cryptographic libraries and packages. Building security in to your web applications is an important skill to have. Have you thought about adding cryptography to your php programs.

Computer Forensics Procedures, Tools, and Digital Evidence Bags: What They Are and Who Should Use
( 155 days 19 hours ago)
LinuxSecurity.com: Computer forensics is the application of computer investigation and analysis techniques to determine potential legal evidence. Since computers are vulnerable to attack by some criminals, computer forensics is very important. Understanding computer forensic procedures will help to capture vital information which can be used to prosecute an intruder that compromises a computer or network. Also, deciding on the specific tools for computers or other equipment that is needed to correctly analyze evidence is crucial. These tools are very useful but bigger companies that handle more equipment and information might benefit from something that can combine all these tools into one application.

( 155 days 19 hours ago)
LinuxSecurity.com: SH's (secure shell) most common authentication mode is called "interactive keyboard password authentication", so called both because it is typically done via keyboard, and because openssh takes active measures to make sure that the password is, indeed, typed interactively by the keyboard. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to fool ssh into accepting an interactive password non-interactively. This is where sshpass comes in. This article looks some of the security concerns with using sshpass. Do you use sshpass? If so do you think about the security issues with it.
