OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set
ModSecurity is a good starting point to secure your web site. OWASP provides the core rule set (CRS) for ModSecurity rules against the most critical web application attack.
From OWASP:
ModSecurity is an Apache web server module that provides a web application firewall engine. The ModSecurity Rules Language engine is extrememly flexible and robust and has been referred to as the “Swiss Army Knife of web application firewalls.”

In order to enable users to take full advantage of ModSecurity out of the box, we have developed the Core Rule Set (CRS) which provides critical protections against attacks across most every web architecture.

Batch Audio Converter <=v.1.0.0 Stack Overflow (SEH)
Iseng-iseng nyari aplikasi yang bisa diotak-atik buat maenan SEH, dapet juga aplikasi Batch Audio Converter <= v.0.4.0.0 dan berhasil di eksploitasi dengan sukses melalui SEH Overflow (tulisan mengenai SEH secara jelas bisa dilihat di situs Peter Van Eeckhoutte dan situs underground Indonesia tertua, Kecoak Elektronik).

Pembuatnya adalah Freewaretoolbox, langsung aja saya download versi terakhir, yaitu versi 1.0.0 dan ternyata masih kena juga dengan buffer overflow.
Saya langsung kirim email ke pembuatnya untuk segera diperbaiki karena kalau dilihat, aplikasi ini sangat umum dipakai karena beberapa dari pengguna internet sering melakukan konversi dari format mp3 ke format wav atau ke format yang lain. Read more
Setting Up Prey on Back|Track 4
Did you know that Backt|Track 4 include Prey on their installation?
If you don’t, let setup this tracker device application.
First, you should check whether the prey installation exist or not. Try looking on /usr/share/prey, if they’re on its place, it’s ok now to configure this application.
Create account on your Prey Control Panel at Preyproject <http://preyproject.com>. Once it created, add your device and check your API and Device key (both are in the Control Panel and Profile page).
Go to /usr/share/prey/config and add your API Key and Device Key. Setup your email notification on your needs and Prey is ready to go.
Run Prey to make sure it’s sync all info to Prey websites.
