Automatic File Indexes with Apache
Russell Dyer
When visiting a Web site that provides files for downloading through an HTTP connection, you will sometimes see a neat file directory listing. A Web-based file directory or index typically will have a paragraph or so of text at the top or bottom describing the directory's contents. It will also have special icons next to sub-directories or key files. When you click on one of these icons or filenames, it will allow you to download the file selected. These indexes are typically generated by Apache with the mod_autoindex module. In this installment to my series on configuring the Apache Web server, I will discuss how to set up an automatic index page on a Web site.

Tool of the Month: DenyHosts
Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier
If you've ever looked through /var/log/secure or /var/log/auth.log (or whatever log file sshd logs to) on a public-facing system, you've probably noticed a number of failed login attempts for users that don't exist. Sometimes you'll even find dozens or even hundreds of failed login attempts — a sure sign that someone is attempting to access the system by brute-force attacks, trying to find a username and password combination that will give them access to your system.

Computer Security, It’s Not About the Software
Ben Rothke
Lance Armstrong’s autobiography is appropriately titled It’s Not About the Bike. A bike to a cyclist is a tool, and the tool is only as good as the one using it. Obviously, Armstrong’s multiple wins at the Tour de France are due in part to his excellent bike, but that was secondary to his superb training, conditioning, and riding skills.
If an information security champion were to write a book, an appropriate title would be It’s Not About the Hardware and Software. Effective information security stems from well-trained staff combined with effective policies, where hardware and software are secondary. Yet there is a widespread perception within information technology that the more security products you buy, the more security you have. If only it were that easy.
