Forwarded From: Cancer Omega <comegaat_private> Site: RSI Denial-of-Service Database Type: Security Advisory Library and Related Databases URL : http://www.repsec.com/denial.html Who : Repent Security, Inc. Date: 04/30/98 Searchable by: Database delineated by focus of DoS attack, whether by application, machine, protocol or operating system. Areas covered include: Routers, Web Browsers, Windows (client and server), Netware, MacOS (client and server), AIX, BSD, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, Sun/Solaris, OSF/DGUX, TCP/IP, SMTP, IRC, DNS, non-OS-specific UNIX, X-Windows, Apache, Quake, and others. Sort by: Date Reported, Platform/Application/Protocol - From the page: "At no time will RSI provide exploit code nor DoS scripts for these types of attacks - so don't ask. If you are an NT administrator, we highly recommend that you bookmark this page. We also urge you to subscribe to the RSI-DoS Discussion mailing list as NT networks seem to be more succeptible to this type of attack than others. "RSI operates one of the most extensive and comprehensive databases of bugs, exploits, and vulnerabiliites (BEV) - anywhere. Due to its level of content, we have restricted access to the BEV database to those companies or individuals who have a specific need to access something of this nature." Reviewer's Comments: RSI lives up to the claim of having a very comprehensive database. On review of the collection of DoS attacks, this reviewer utilized his browser "Find" to scan for every type of DoS method he knew and consistently came up with a match of what he expected to find. Listings are short on exploit code, but long on practical portions which demonstrate the heart of an attack as well as patch, fix and upgrade information. This should suit many security-conscious admins quite well. In addition to the database, the site offers subscription to their own DoS alert mailing list. A definite plus if their advisories prove as timely as their database is comprehensive. The site appears to be under construction in several areas, but also seems to be getting populated on a daily basis. This reviewer's opinion is that the site is a diamond in the rough. Future additions, perhaps the addition of a search engine, could vastly improve data accessibility and ease-of-use. But these issues are a matter of aesthetics and should not dissuade those interested in preventing DoS attacks.
