Cyber Risks · Help Net Security

Issue 1: April 2005 - (IN)SECURE Magazine

Summary: Help Net Security published the inaugural issue of (IN)SECURE Magazine in April 2005, with contributors including Lisa Dozois, Jerry Malcolm, Zach Riggle, Bob Toxen and Gavin Zuchlinski. Its table of contents covered whether Firefox is more secure than Internet Explorer, risks of portable storage devices, ten tips on protecting customer information from identity theft, Linux security for average users, wireless network security, preventing information leakage, securing Linux with Apache, ProFTPd and Samba, and PHP web application vulnerabilities.

What's compelling: The first issue's topics - browser choice, removable media, wireless configuration, and PHP application flaws - are the same categories security teams still manage two decades later, a reminder that the fundamentals age slowly even as the tooling changes.
