TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I got a lot of private emails from folks about the security post. Its good to
hear that a lot of you are taking security issues seriously. As purverors of
information, tech writers are uniquely valuable to a would be hacker. As such,
its important to remain vigilent.
A few people asked about how to increase the security on their home and work
machines. One suggestion is check out my white paper: Hardening Windows 2000 at http://www.anitian.com/corp/papers/Hardening_Win2k.pdf (edits and comments are
welcome!) I just revised this with a second edition.
Lance also has some great papers on Solaris as well.
Also, check out www.securityfocus.com . Its a geek site but there are a lot of
great papers on security issues. Another place of information is the SANS
institute www.sans.org.
Most importantly - use common sense. Be careful with information. It is a
commodity.
