October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, and as we have done the past two years we plan to use our handler diaries throughout the month to conduct a deep dive into various security issues. In 2007 we covered a large range of subjects based on what our readers submitted as ideas. In 2008 we took a closer look at the six steps of incident handling. This year we are going to examine 31 different ports/services/protocols/applications and discuss some of the major security issues plus pass along reader comments on tips and tricks for securing it.
