Security Risks Associated With Portable Storage Devices Portable storage devices are also subject to your standard day-to-day perils such as mechanical or electronic failure, damage from being dropped or being exposed to harsh environmental conditions or just plain getting lost or stolen. The latter two circumstance create a whole new threat level if sensitive data happens to be stored on the missing device.
Why Your Data Is at Risk Randy Nash discusses various methods by which critical data may be attacked. He compares the risks to data as it traverses a network (data on the wire) with attacks directed at a data repository (data at rest).
Blind Exploitation of Stack Overflow Vulnerabilities This paper presents a number of technical discussion points relating to the potential for exploiting stack overflow vulnerabilities without having direct access to the application which is to be exploited. The points raised in this paper discuss the key issues which would need to be overcome in order to do this, as well as presenting several ideas as to how this can be achieved from a "blind" perspective.
