    ISSN (Print) : 2320 – 3765 ISSN (Online): 2278 – 8875 International Journal of Advanced Research in Electrical, Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering Vol. 2, Issue 5, May 2013 SILC-A SECURED INTERNET CHAT PROTOCOL Anindita Sinha1, Saugata Sinha2 Asst. Prof, Dept. of ECE, Siliguri Institute of Technology, Sukna, Siliguri, West Bengal, India 1 Network Engineer, Network Dept, Ericsson Global India Ltd, India2 Abstract:-. The Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC) protocol, a new generation chat protocol provides full featured conferencing services, compared to any other chat protocol. Its main interesting point is security which has been described all through the paper. We have studied how encryption and authentication of the messages in the network achieves security. The security has been the primary goal of the SILC protocol and the protocol has been designed from the day one security in mind. In this paper we have studied about different keys which have been used to achieve security in the SILC protocol. The main function of SILC is to achieve SECURITY which is most important in any chat protocol. We also have studied different command for communication in chat protocols. Keywords: SILC protocol, IM, MIME, security I.INTRODUCTION SILC stands for “SECURE INTERNET LIVE CONFERENCING”. SILC is a secure communication platform, looks similar to IRC, first protocol & quickly gained the status of being the most popular chat on the net. The security is important feature in applications & protocols in contemporary network environment. It is not anymore enough to just provide services; they need to be secure services. The SILC protocol is a new generation chat protocol which provides full featured conferencing services; additionally it provides security by encrypting & authenticating the messages in the network.

  • How to Investigate and Solve Cybercrime
    1 DomainTools Cybercrime Investigation Connecting the Dots of Online DNA DOMAINTOOLS SOLUTION BRIEF WWW.DOMAINTOOLS.COM WWW.DOMAINTOOLS.COM 2 INTRODUCTION UNDERSTANDING THE DNA OF DNS DATA As anyone who has watched modern crime television knows, DNA of some form is often left behind at the scene of a crime. Similarly, when a cybercrime is perpetrated it is not unusual that traces of evidence are left behind in the form of Domain Name System (DNS) and Whois data. Cybercrime costs businesses billions every year. A 2012 Ponemon study found that cyber crime cost businesses on average $8.9 million each year (based on a study of 56 organizations), with a range of $1.4 million to $46 million. And attacks are becoming more frequent—The same study found that attacks were up 42% from the previous year. Whether it’s cybersquatting, the theft of valuable intellectual property, financial account hacking or the sale of counterfeit goods on a fraudulent domain, cybercriminals continue to grow more brazen and sophisticated in their tactics. To effectively combat this costly criminal behavior, cyber investigators must employ a range of new tools and techniques to quickly and proactively identify attackers. RESPONSE AND INVESTIGATION Whether you are attacked via a DDOS, phishing, malware or Advanced Persistent Threat tactics, one thing is consistent: in every case, there is a communication protocol applied. That is, all types of cyber attack involve sending information from one node on the Internet to another. DomainTools can help map these nodes and their connections, thereby providing investigators and response teams with the necessary information to stop further attacks and identify perpetrators.

  • Seamonkey Security Update (RHSA-2007-0980)
    seamonkey security update (RHSA-2007-0980) Original Release Date: November 8, 2007 Last Revised: November 8, 2007 Number: ASA-2007-459 Risk Level: None Advisory Version: 1.0 Advisory Status: Final 1. Overview: SeaMonkey is an open-source software suite from the Mozilla Foundation which provides a Web browser, Mail and Usenet client, an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client and an HTML editing utility. Several flaws were found in the way in which SeaMonkey processed certain malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running SeaMonkey. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2007- 5338, CVE-2007-5339, and CVE-2007-5340 to these issues. Several flaws were found in the way in which SeaMonkey displayed malformed web content. A web page containing specially-crafted content could potentially trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2007-1095, CVE-2007-3844, CVE- 2007-3511, and CVE-2007-5334 to these issues. A flaw was found in the SeaMonkey sftp protocol handler. A malicious web page could access data from a remote sftp site, possibly stealing sensitive user data. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2007- 5337 to this issue. A request-splitting flaw was found in the way in which SeaMonkey generates a digest authentication request. If a user opened a specially-crafted URL, it was possible to perform cross-site scripting attacks, web cache poisoning, or other, similar exploits.

  • There Are Two Dedicated Dspace IRC (Internet Relay Chat) Channels (I.E
    IRC Code of Conduct All DSpace support channels, mailing lists and meetings follow the LYRASIS Code of Conduct. We ask you to remain respectful in all discussions. We also encourage you to report any violations of the code of conduct to LYRASIS (see the Code of Conduct for more details). DSpace chat has moved to Slack Our old IRC channels are essentially unmonitored these days. Instead, we recommend joining our DSpace.org Slack for any chat-based support. You are also welcome to email your question to the dspace-tech Mailing List as an alternative, or choose one of the other DSpace Sup port options. There are two dedicated DSpace IRC (internet relay chat) channels (i.e. "rooms") on the irc.freenode.net server: #dspace (irc://irc.freenode.net/dspace) - all DSpace discussions and live Q & A.
