I.T security whitepapers?

Swindon

Hi,

Can anyone recommend websites that provide up to date I.T whitepapers, securitydocs is ok but alot of out of date papers...

Martyr

it really depends on what you want to read about.
some journals and sites focus on 1 particular subject more than others.
alot of the security conferences (blackhat/defcon/shmoocon) feature quality material on i.t security..but again, for more obscure/underground'ish type stuff, you have to look elsewhere, like forums..

Not sure if you would call his show a whitepaper, but there are interesting security and electronics tech discussions by Leo Laporte at http://twit.tv

A gold mine on security issues and solutions can be found at Gibson Research (lots a security freeware there too, including ShieldsUp) at http://www.grc.com
