Disarming Ooense to Facilitate Defense
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer security has traditionally focused on system defense, concentrating on protection and recovery of victim machines. Moving from the opposite perspective, we propose a complementary approach that focuses on limiting the attacking capabilities of the hosts. Software design and implementation weaknesses usually are at the basis of computer ooensive capacities. Since software redesign or patching on an extensive basis is not possible, we propose the adoption of a ltering strategy to block abuse attempts at the originating machines. As an example, applications of such an approach are presented at host level, in order to prevent root compromise attacks, and at network level, in order to prevent DoS attacks, among others. The proposed solution is not a silver bullet and could be bypassed by sophisticated users. However, we believe it can eeectively restrain the ooensive capabilities of hosts that could be easily seized by crackers. We discuss the pros and cons of the proposed solution and present an application to host and network security.

متن کاملVinegar as a disarming agent to prevent further discharge of the nematocysts of the stinging hydromedusa Olindias sambaquiensis.
Olindias sambaquiensis, known as agua viva, is an endemic hydromedusa that is distributed from latitude 23 degrees to 42 degrees south in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean and is known to cause severe stings. This is the first report of the use of vinegar in disarming O sambaquiensis nematocysts and includes preliminary observations on its use in managing the stings of hydromedusae.
