Kismet is an 802.11b wireless network sniffer. It is capable of sniffing using almost any wireless card supported in Linux, which currently divide into cards handled by libpcap and the Linux-Wireless extensions (such as Cisco Aironet), and cards supported by the Wlan-NG project which use the Prism/2 chipset (such as Linksys, Dlink, and Zoom). Besides Linux, Kismet also supports FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Mac OS X systems. Features Multiple packet capture sources, Runtime network sorting by AP MAC address (bssid), IP block detection via ARP and DHCP packet dissection, Cisco product detection via CDP, Ethereal and tcpdump compatible file logging, Airsnort-compatible "interesting" (cryptographically weak) logging, Secure SUID behavior, GPS devices and wireless devices fingerprinting. Kismet also includes a tool called gpsmap that can be used to create maps from logged GPS data. Full changelog here.

radmind is a suite of Unix command-line tools and a server designed to remotely administer the file systems of multiple Unix machines. Radmind operates as a tripwire which is able to detect changes to any managed filesystem object, e.g. files, directories, links, etc. However, radmind goes further than just integrity checking: once a change is detected, radmind can optionally reverse the change.

The at utility in Solaris has name handling and race condition vulnerabilities. Using the -r switch to remove a job allows an attacker to remove any file on the filesystem as root. Although at filters out absolute paths, a simple ../ directory traversal maneuver allows an attacker to remove files out of the allowed boundary.

PlatinumFTPserver, the server engine that runs as an application on Windows 9x and a service under NT/2K/XP, has a directory traversal vulnerability that allows remote attackers to enter directories that reside outside the bounding FTP root directory. Another vulnerability exists which allows an attacker to commit a DoS against the server. Version affected: 1.0.7. Version Unaffected: 1.0.8.

Hypermail 2, a popular tool that converts mails into html, has two buffer overflows. One exists in the hypermail program itself and another is in the CGI program mail. The overflow in the main program can be overflowed by sending an email while the CGI program can be overflowed by a DNS server being populated with faulty information. Versions affected: 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.1.5, possibly others. 2.1.6 is not affected.

ISS X-Force has learned of a worm that is spreading via Microsoft SQL servers. The worm is responsible for large amounts of Internet traffic as well as millions of UDP/IP probes at the time of this alert's publication. This worm attempts to exploit MS/SQL servers vulnerable to the SQL Server Resolution service buffer overflow (CVE CAN-2002-0649). Once a vulnerable computer is compromised, the worm will infect that target, randomly select a new target, and resend the exploit and propagation code to that host.

Rights Amplification in Master-Keyed Mechanical Locks - This paper describes a relatively unknown procedure for obtaining a master key if given access to a tumbler based master keyed lock and any low level key in the system. No special skill or equipment beyond a small number of blank keys and a file is needed, and the attacker does not need to engage in any suspicious behavior at the locks location. Countermeasures are described with provide limited protection under certain circumstances.

Ethereal is a GTK+-based network protocol analyzer, or sniffer, that lets you capture and interactively browse the contents of network frames. The goal of the project is to create a commercial-quality analyzer for Unix and to give Ethereal features that are missing from closed-source sniffers. Screenshot available here.
