| Google revamps Summer of Code for 2007 |
| Friday, February 23, 2007 |
Google's Summer of Code (SOC) will be back again this year, and this time, Google plans to take advantage of lessons learned to improve the program for everyone involved.
Now in its third year, SOC is a program that pays students to code for free and open source software (FOSS) projects. Since the program started in 2005, more than 1,000 students have participated in more than 100 projects, and perhaps 10 times that many have applied to participate. About 80% of participants completed their projects in the previous two years, earning themselves $4,500 and the projects that mentor them $500.

| Hardware Versus Software Firewalls |
| Sunday, February 18, 2007 |
According to estimates, an unprotected Windows computer system connected to the Internet could be compromised within twelve minutes. In light of this, the need for computer security has expanded in the last few years. Today, it is just as necessary for home users to secure personal computers as it is for businesses to secure office computers. In order to gain security benefits like those many businesses possess, home network security often utilizes the same models. The difference, however, has been that most home users do not have the financial resources for top of the line security equipment. This has led many home users to begin using security tools such as freeware firewalls and over-the-counter hardware firewall solutions.

| Security pros work to undo teacher's conviction |
| Saturday, February 10, 2007 |
Researchers led by the head of a Florida anti-spyware firm aim to recreate what caused a Connecticut school's classroom computer to start displaying pornographic pop-ups in October 2004, an incident that recently led to four felony convictions for the substitute teacher involved.
On January 5, a six-person jury found former Kelly Middle School substitute teacher Julie Amero guilty of four counts of risk of injury to a minor. The charges stem from an October 19, 2004 incident when the computer in the classroom in which Amero was teaching started displaying pornographic pop-up advertisements. Prosecutors argued that Amero surfed porn sites while in class, causing the pop-up advertisements, while the former teacher's defense attorney argued that spyware installed from a hairstyling Web site caused the deluge of digital smut.

| American Pie' actress of threatening sex abuse of dog |

Charges dropped against 'American Pie' actress of threatening sex abuse of dog
NEW YORK (AP) - "American Pie" star Natasha Lyonne, arrested after threatening to sexually abuse a neighbour's dog, left court a free woman Friday after a judge promised to dismiss the charges against her.
Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Anthony Ferrara said because Lyonne successfully completed a court-ordered drug program and paid US$2,000 restitution, he was sentencing her to a conditional discharge.
Assistant district attorney Remy Taborga confirmed Lyonne had met the conditions set by the court. The prosecutor recommended the conditional discharge, which means if Lyonne is not arrested within the next six months, the charges will be dismissed.

| identifying the assets and their values |
| Monday, December 04, 2006 |
Hi
Apart from identifying the assets and their values,
the starting point for such a risk assessment is
what we call the threat agent: hurricanes, floods, fire,
virus, intruder, ..., (spammer, employee, ...)
Then, vulnerabilities for each threat agent are defined,
like thatched roof, lack of antivirus software, lack of entry-control, ...
As a result, you may define threats, like uncontrollable fire,
virus infection, stolen devices or 'secrets', ...
Then you continue with probabilities, impacts, countermeasures, ...
as you know it.
One source of confusion I have seen is the "difference"
between threat agents and threats. Often, these are
used as synonyms, which leads to confusion. At least from a
computer security perspective, a threat agents exploits a
vulnerability to realise a threat.
Good luck 
Cheers
