f6ce6ce0746488247aaaf2c3ee8e867cThis paper will discuss setting up encrypted communication for SNMP agents and trapd hosts through the use of Zebedee (Zee-bee-dee) UDP tunneling and encryption features. The goal is encrypted SNMP traps from the hosts to the management station and encrypted polling of the SNMP agent running on the host. All SNMP communication is handled by Zebedee with proper firewall filtering practices.

8d086961f802114fdecba45f4f33283fThis document describes buffer overrun vulnerabilities on Sun Microsystems SPARC machines. We will begin by examining the SPARC architecture, looking at the registers and the stack. We will then go on to see exact how buffer overrun vulnerabilities occur and how control over the processes execution is gained under SPARC and then detail how, from here, the vulnerability can be exploited to gain control over the computer by looking at exploit code that spawns a shell under Solaris.
f84c8fdc8a46ebf7eb620006ec7dd07dReversing the ELF - Stepping with GDB during PLT uses and .GOT fixup. This is a GDB tutorial about runtime process fixup using the Procedure Linkage Table section (.plt) and the Global Offset Table section (.got) by the dynamic linker ld-linux.so. ASM knowledge will be helpful. More info on ELF here.

159e1b0b51c948797a4feab7aa315e2eIn the local network, the act of sniffing has become a serious threat. Malicious users can use sniffing techniques to steal confidential documents and anyone's privacy by sniffing the network. Sniffing causes privacy intrusion, and can be done simply by downloading free sniffer tools from the Internet and installing them into a personal computer that resides on the local network. The documentation below discusses the use of Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets to effectively detect malicious users when they are sniffing the network. The tool Promiscan implements the techniques discussed in this document.
