Attacking Systems (July/August 2004)

Submissions due 4 April 2004

Guest editors: Ivn Arce and Gary McGraw ivan.arce-AT-coresecurity.com,
gem-AT-cigital.com

Some security practitioners believe that the only way to know how to protect
a system against attack is to know how attacks really work. Such people
advocate teaching about attacks when building security expertise, carrying
out attacks as part of testing, and thinking and writing creatively about
attacks. Others feel that discussing, publishing, and teaching attacks is
irresponsible. Where do you stand?

This special issue is devoted to the idea of attacking systems in order to
better understand how to defend them. We're looking for a set of papers
exploring the following ideas:

    * exploiting software
    * attack categories: bugs and flaws
    * worms, viruses, and malicious code as an attack vector
    * attacking modern extensible systems: Java and .NET
    * rootkits, injection vectors, and networked machines
    * the politics of breaking systems
    * teaching students to break systems (pros and cons)
    * ethical hacking, red teaming, and penetration testing
    * attack modeling
