Issue 43: September 2014 - (IN)SECURE Magazine

Summary: Issue 43 of (IN)SECURE Magazine, dated September 2014, covers topics including detecting evasive malware that fingerprints security systems, mobile hackers targeting the network, honeypots, securing the U.S. electrical grid, and DDoS defense at a large ISP. Contributors listed include Andreas Baumhof of ThreatMetrix, John Colley of (ISC)2, Brian Honan of BH Consulting and IRISSCERT, and Giovanni Vigna of Lastline.

What's compelling: The issue's lead topic - malware that fingerprints a security system to evade it - frames detection as an adversarial contest rather than a checklist, a problem the magazine paired with honeypots as a countermeasure.
