Certification: Prying into Cisco's CCIE Security Lab Exam
Emmett Dulaney
Last month, I introduced the CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) certification in general, and the security track in detail. To obtain this certification, you must first pass a "written" exam (2 hours long, 100 multiple-choice questions through VUE or Prometric testing centers) and then an intensive lab-based exam. The topic areas on the written exam were covered last month. This month, I'll look at the topics covered in the lab exam, which must be attempted within 18 months after passing the written test.

The Open Road: A look at OpenSolaris
Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier
Since Sun released OpenSolaris back in June, I've been itching to spend a little time with the release and see what OpenSolaris has to offer and what might be coming up for Solaris enthusiasts and developers, as well as users who are new to Solaris.
Since OpenSolaris isn't really "finished," this will be more of a overview, rather than a critical review of the product.

Book Review: Extrusion Detection: Security Monitoring for Internal Intrusions
Kristy Westphal
Richard Bejtlich, author of The Tao of Network Security Monitoring, reverses his viewpoint of traditional network monitoring in Extrusion Detection: Security Monitoring for Internal Intrusions, and thankfully so. For a very long time in the security field, we have looked merely at attempting to protect our perimeters, yet study after study states that much of our problem stems from those on the inside of our organizations. Extrusion Detection is first-rate not only for discussing why inside monitoring needs to be considered but also for providing a practical guide about how to do this.
