  • IIS Security and Programming Countermeasures
    IIS Security and Programming Countermeasures By Jason Coombs ([email protected]) Introduction This is a book about how to secure Microsoft Internet Information Services for administrators and programmers whose work includes a requirement for information security, a computer industry specialty field commonly referred to as infosec. In this book the terms information security and infosec are used interchangeably with the more friendly term data security. This is not a book about hacking, cracking, and the tools and techniques of the bad guys, the so-called black hat hackers. This book teaches computer professionals and infosec specialists how to build secure solutions using IIS. It is your duty to secure and defend networked information systems for the benefit of the good guys who are your end users, clients, or less technical coworkers. There is nothing you can do that will transform a programmable computer running Microsoft Windows from its vulnerable condition to an invulnerable one. Every general purpose programmable computer is inherently vulnerable because it is controlled by software and is designed to allow new software to be installed or executed arbitrarily. Network computing based on programmable general purpose computers will never be safe from an information security perspective. Eliminating the feature of general purpose programmability from a networked computer and replacing its software with firmware reduces but does not eliminate vulnerabilities. These are immutable realities of present day computing and, as always, reality represents your biggest challenge. Microsoft is in business to get as much of your money as possible using whatever means will work at a given moment and in this respect they know virtually no equal in the software business.

  • Enhanced Embedded Linux Board Support Package Field Upgrade – a Cost Effective Approach
    International Journal of Embedded Systems and Applications (IJESA), Vol 9, No.1, March 2019 Enhanced Embedded Linux Board Support Package Field Upgrade – A Cost Effective Approach Kantam Nagesh1, Oeyvind Landsnes2, Tore Fuglestad2, Nina Svensen2 and Deepak Singhal1 1ABB Ability Innovation Center, Robotics and Motion, Bengaluru, India 2ABB AS, Robotics and Motion, Bryne, Norway ABSTRACT Latest technology, new features and kernel bug fixes shows a need to explore a cost-effective and quick upgradation of Embedded Linux BSP of Embedded Controllers to replace the existing U-Boot, Linux kernel, Dtb file, and JFFS2 File system. This field upgrade technique is designed to perform an in-the-field flash upgrade while the Linux is running. On successful build, the current version and platform specific information will be updated to the script file and further with this technique the file system automates the upgrade procedure after validating for the version information from the OS-release and if the version is different it will self-extract and gets installed into the respective partitions. This Embedded Linux BSP field upgrade invention is more secured and will essentially enable the developers and researchers working in this field to utilize this method which can prove to be cost-effective on the field and beneficial to the stake holder. KEYWORDS Embedded Linux, Upgrade, Kernel, U-boot, JFFS2 File system. INTRODUCTION Embedded systems form an essential part of the connected world. 1, 2 BSP (Board Support Package) is a collection of binary code and supported files which are used to create a Linux kernel firmware and filesystem images for a particular target.
