Intrusion Detection Systems are a "must" in IT Security. Here it can
be explained how to set up a roubust and powerfull IDS, hardened by
a pen-test (focusing, then, not only on attack but also on defense).

    SmashTheStack is a wargames network about coding, reverse

-  SSH with SFTP ChrootDirectory and HPN improvement
    The OpenSSH 4.8p1 version has a built-in function that makes sftp
    chroot easly than create a manual chroot environment by an internal
    sftp server. This is a special feature that not everyone knows. The

- Modding router firmware

     With new tree kernel 2.6.24, was develop (and still in
     developping) a new Broadcom wireless driver. This driver is better
     than legacy one and all the supported wireless card should upgrade
     dei built-in modules. A guide to b43-fwcutter and simple upgrade
     from legacy bcm43xx to b43 (maybe with some specificy protocol
     specification or driver information)


- QoS on linux and routers
     Quality of Service is a set of rules that define a packet priority
     above others. Setting this priority, network traffic can have some
     improvemnets, expecially in conjunction with VoIP traffic.
