USB

Mdh: Added expand

{{Expand}}
USB is an acronym for the ''Universal Serial Bus'', a method for attaching a wide variety of devices to a host system. USB provides for hot-swap of devices, and network-like communications that allow for additional ports to be added to a system by way of internal or external hubs, often mitigating the need to physically open a host system in order to add more device capacity.

Sender Policy Framework

2007-05-02T17:41:21Z

Mdh: added more.

{{Expand}}
'''Sender Policy Framework''' ('''SPF''') is a system to eliminate spam based on the idea that only certain computers should be allowed to send mail for a given domain. SPF allows a domain's owner to specify which hosts may send mail purporting to be from that domain by creating '''TXT''' type records in the DNS for the domain. Unlike [[DomainKeys Identified Mail]], only source hosts/addresses may be specified, meaning that should a host/ip address be compromised (such as by [[Address Resolution Protocol]] spoofing on an ethernet segment, or system compromise), unauthorized messages may still be sent originating from the given source address and would be accepted based on the SPF record. Any number of hosts may be specified in the TXT record for a given domain, and pointers to SPF records in other DNS zones may be included as well.

'''Firewire''' is the popular name is hardware using the '''IEEE1394''' standard for connecting to a host system. Much like [[USB]], Firewire is commonly used to attach storage devices and other external media. Firewire connectivity is available for a large variety of systems, and is frequently included by default in many [[Sun Microsystems]] and [[Apple]] workstation computers.

Some recent controversy centered around the development of a tool, [http://www.storm.net.nz/projects/16 here] which is capable of dumping a system's memory via a firewire port.

FreeBSD

Mdh: Added a little bit more, and categorized

'''FreeBSD''' is a [[Unix]]-like free software [[operating system]]. Originally developed at UCB, and based upon the 4.4BSD-Lite2 sources, FreeBSD has since evoled into a popular and modern system.

Ffs

Mdh: Berkeley FFS

'''FFS''' is one name given to the BSD '''Fast File System''', also known as '''UFS1''' or '''UFS2''' (referring to different versions of the file system). Modern FFS implementations are used in many systems based on 4.2BSD, 4.3BSD and 4.4BSD, including [[FreeBSD]], [[OpenBSD]], and [[NetBSD]]. Variants and derivative file systems are also in use on other platforms, including [[Solaris]]. Many differences in terms of capabilities and metadata exist between these systems, and compatibility is not guaranteed.

''Note: This article refers to the BSD Fast File System. For information on the Amiga Fast File System, please see [[Ffs (Amiga)]].''

== More Information ==

* More information regarding super-block metadata structures can be gleaned from the [http://threads.seas.gwu.edu/cgi-bin/man2web?program=fs&section=5 fs(5)] manual page in FreeBSD.
* An email list, ''freebsd-fs'', exists and can be viewed online [http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.fs/topics?lnk=rgh via Google Groups].

Hello! I'm a systems security engineer from ''Morgantown, WV''. I'm often found on [http://freenode.net/ freenode] IRC. I'm generally interested in security related topics, including DF, security in programming, systems security, cryptography (though quite novice with regards to the mathematical/algo design/cryptanalysis side of the house), et al.

Politically, I'm a moderate Libertarian. I believe strongly that it is our responsibility as security professionals to protect people both from a violation of their property and from a violation of their rights and liberties.

=== Interests ===

* Solaris
* FreeBSD
* Steganography
* Development - mostly C, some Perl, very little C# (mono)
