Book Review: Comparing, Designing, and Deploying VPNs
Emmett Dulaney
My first thought when looking at this book was that if it contained no valuable information, I could still use it to prop open the door when the weather warmed. At well more than 1,000 pages, it gives the impression of being a brick. I am happy to report, however, that we�ve had many nice days since this book arrived, and there is no possibility that it will ever be used for anything other than reference � it is that good.

The Open Road: Testing Services with Telnet
Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier
There's been some hubbub lately about Andrew Tridgell's supposedly "reverse engineering" the BitKeeper protocol. It turns out, Tridgell did nothing more complicated than using telnet to talk to a BitKeeper server.
Though I'm not one to advocate using telnet as a way to administer remote systems, it can still come in handy from time to time � primarily as a way to test services. This month, I'll walk you through testing some basic services using nothing more than plain ol' telnet.

Debugging Expect
Cameron Laird
A "transition error" led to the delay of this article for more than a year. Although it was originally written early in 2004, its content remains equally accurate and pertinent today. This is typical for Expect � its author, Don Libes, expected it to be imitated and surpassed soon after he first released it at the beginning of the 1990s, but that's never happened. The book he published about it in 1994 remains in print, not because of the interest of antiquarians, but because Expect continues in 2005 to solve the important problems it addresses better than any other tool. Read on, then, and learn how you can make even better use of Expect with a few simple debugging techniques.

Spyforce-AI
Kristy Westphal
Whenever I hear of a software package that claims to protect against something ambitious like insider threats, identity theft, and cyberfraud, I have to get a closer look. Spyforce-AI is an ambitious and unique software package that boasts of addressing all three of these areas. If you, too, think that this is worth a closer look, read on to find out about my experience with the product. Note that this review was done on a pre-release version of the products current version 2.0.

Book Review: Brute Force: Cracking the Data Encryption Standard
Ben Rothke
Brute Force: Cracking the Data Encryption Standard is the story of the life and death of DES (data encryption standard). In the early 1970s, the U.S. government put out an open call for a new, stronger encryption algorithm that would be made into a federal standard, known as FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard.). Numerous solutions were submitted as the DES candidate, including one from IBM. The IBM solution, originally called Lucifer, was chosen to be used as the encryption algorithm. After that, it became known as DES.
