Issue 21: June 2009 - (IN)SECURE Magazine
Summary: Issue 21 of (IN)SECURE Magazine, dated June 2009, covers topics including Windows 7 security features, a malicious PDF that compromises a system without being opened, using Wireshark to capture and analyze wireless traffic, and a technical overview of "unclonable" RFID. The issue also includes a Q&A with Ron Gula on Nessus and Tenable Network Security, secure development principles, and a historical perspective on the cybersecurity dilemma.
What's compelling: The lead item describes a malicious PDF that gets a machine owned without the user ever opening the file - a reminder that the delivery mechanism, not user behavior, is often the actual attack surface.
