Interesting Information Security Bits for 11/07/2008

Good afternoon everybody! I hope your day is going well.

Here are today’s Interesting Information Security Bits from around the web.

1. Virtualization: How to Isolate Application Traffic
   Lori has penned a nice article pointing out how we can use VLANs to isolate application traffic. She makes and excellent point in the article, “we’ve grown to use VLANs as an architectural tool rather than a security tool, and often don’t consider how valuable such a simple, existing technology can easily be applied to more emerging, cutting edge concepts.”
2. Typical Injection Points in a Web Application | Startup Security
   Damon fills us in on some good spots to check for vulnerabilities in web applications.
3. Discovering Rogue Access Points With Nmap
   Nifty way to detect rogue wireless APs from the wireside.
4. Researcher: Android may not need antivirus software
   Now I’m not saying you have to have anti-virus software for your mobile device, but I sure don’t agree with several of the statements made in this article.

That’s it for today. Have fun!
