Guide to Firewalls and Network Security

Firewalls are among the best-known security tools in use today, and their critical role in information security continues to grow. However, firewalls are most effective when they are backed by effective security planning, a well-designed security policy, and when they work in concert with anti-virus software, intrusion detection systems, and other tools. This book aims to explore firewalls in the context of these other elements, providing readers with a solid, in-depth introduction to firewalls that focuses on both managerial and technical aspects of security. Coverage includes packet filtering, authentication, proxy servers, encryption, bastion hosts, virtual private networks (VPNs), log file maintenance, and intrusion detection systems. The second edition offers updated content and brand new material, from enhanced coverage of non-firewall subjects like information and network security to an all-new section dedicated to intrusion detection in the context of incident response.

Amateur robot programming?

I had an idea for a little security bot for my bedroom that I'd like to build and program. What I want to do is have the thing swivel back and forth, scanning the room, emit a beep every 4 seconds or so and when it detects motion fire little Nerf bullets or something similar at the target. Of course I know it would require some programming as well as a motion detector but I was simply wondering what I would need in order to create the program part of this project as well as any motherboards, memory and programs to make the programming. Its going to be very basic to begin with but I just need someone to tell me how/where i can learn to program motion detection and commands for firing at a target that has been detected and how to put it into the robot. For the motion detector im thinking of using something similar to that which is used in home security, I can get small motors for the swivelling and a 'gun' for the firing. Essentially I'm trying to recreate the lvl 1 sentry from TF2 and I just need a bit of help.

Police dog unleashed on innocent children and a handcuffed man... What should happen to the officer?

http://www.houmatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070730/NEWS/707300311/1026/NEWS01 THIBODAUX -- Residents of a city apartment complex say a police dog went after two children when an officer released it, even though the man he sought was already subdued and handcuffed. Thibodaux Police Chief Craig Melancon said this morning that he suspended officer Ronnie Comeaux one day without pay after a hearing Friday found that the officer wrongfully took his dog out of his car without a leash during a misdemeanor traffic stop. Melancon said his department’s two dogs are supposed to be used for felony stops, building searches and drug detection. Comeaux, who was scheduled to return to work today, will also have to take a course with his dog, Renata. The dog has been taken off patrol missions until it is retrained, Melancon said. The chief disputed allegations that the dog was purposely unleashed on a crowded street. Instead, Melancon said, the dog broke loose when the officer tried to leash it. The chief said this was the first time he could recall a Thibodaux Police dog breaking loose of its handler. The incident occurred between 7:30 and 8 p.m. Wednesday outside St. Charles Manor apartments near Sanders Street. Witnesses say Comeaux, a three-year veteran of the department, according to Melancon, said, "Go get him," then released his dog in the direction of Quincy Wagner, who was handcuffed, barefoot and kneeling on the ground. Wagner had moments earlier fled the officer after a disputed traffic stop, but surrendered after running a short distance on Sanders Street, which runs parallel to the apartment complex. The dog circled Wagner twice, witnesses said, before knocking a 12-year-old boy down and biting the pants leg of a 10-year-old boy, who had sought refuge by climbing onto a parked car. Neither child was seriously injured. Apartment residents estimated the dog ran free for six to eight minutes while officers issued it commands. Finally, an officer grabbed the dog. 'HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED’ Lafourche NAACP President Burnell Tolbert equated Comeaux’s one-day suspension with a slap on the wrist. "I think he needs to be fired," Tolbert said. Further, Tolbert asserted the incident shows that Comeaux was not properly trained. "We’ve got good control of the dogs," Melancon said. "You have to remember the dogs are highly trained, but they are still dogs." Courtney Phipps and Sheila Williams, the mothers of the two boys, asked for apologies from police and questioned why Comeaux would release the dog onto a street full of children, particularly when the suspect had been subdued. The mothers added they weren’t allowed to provide a signed statement when they went to the department Wednesday night. Williams said she met with an officer named John Sutton, but that all he did was take her name. "They did come in," Melancon said of the two mothers, "but they came in at the officer’s request. The children were photographed, and we spoke to the parents. The parents were rightfully upset." The mothers also aren’t pleased with the way officers responded to them on the scene. Phipps said a police officer told her that her child, 10-year-old son Semaj Alleyne, was in the wrong for running from the dog. Williams said another officer told her 12-year-old son Devaughn Brown that if he didn’t stop crying, he would go to jail. For his part, Wagner, a 24-year-old Thibodaux resident, said he has yet to receive a traffic ticket for obstruction of traffic, for which Comeaux originally stopped him. Wagner paid a $200 bond on a resisting-arrest charge and an obstruction-of-a-roadway violation and was released from the Lafourche Parish jail Wednesday night. He has a Sept. 10 court date. BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION Minutes before Comeaux patrolled Sanders Street, residents recalled, the neighborhood was filled with children riding their bikes or playing basketball like 12-year-old Devaughn Brown. According to his account, Wagner, a furniture-delivery man for Rent-A-Center, got off work around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday to take his daughter Kiara to McDonald’s to celebrate her ninth birthday. Before they were to go eat, he planned to stop on Sanders Street to visit his two brothers so they could give her a birthday present. Wagner said that as he was driving his 1993 Buick LeSabre on the street, he noticed Comeaux behind him in his police unit, so he pulled into a friend’s driveway nearby and let the officer pass. After he passed, Wagner pulled back onto the edge of the street to tell his brothers goodbye. That’s when, he said, Comeaux turned around and pulled up behind him with his lights flashing. When Wagner, who was still in his work uniform, asked him what he had done wrong, the officer said he obstructed the roadway for a vehicle that had just passed, Wagner said. Wagner said he asked the officer what type and color vehicle it was and Comeaux replied, "I don’t know at this time." An argument ensued between the two men, during which, Wagner said, Comeaux grabbed his arm forcefully to place him under arrest and he jerked his arm away. In an instant, the situation escalated and now, Wagner said, he could see the officer reaching for what looked like a Taser. anyway read the article for more details it continues... Shameful IMO... Something must be done about vengence, a badge, and a gun.

If this story is accurate I think the police officer should be reprimanded. If the person was already restrained and he released a dog on it which obviously can't tell the difference between children and a restrained man, then someone needs to learn some restraint and common sense. I think certain law enforcement agencies (not all) are given way too much power and way too little training. Having a badge and 60 hours from a community college or some experience in the military might not cut it. Maybe stiffer requirements should be required of all officers, like, hmmm, maybe a minimum of a bachelor's degree and 1 year of training??
