New IT Strategy: Stopping Viruses at the
Gate
03/20/2003 01:05 PMIn the past, many companies relied on desktop antivirus software to
protect against malicious code. Antivirus firm Trend Micro champions a
different strategy: The company aims to filter out viruses at the
corporate gateway, before they ever reach the desktop. How does this
approach fit into the overall enterprise security picture?

"The Washington University in St. Louis (WUSL) announced that one
of its computer science teams has developed a new
technology to stop computer viruses and worms before they reach
your system. John Lockwood and his team didn't use software. Instead,
they created an open platform that augments a network with
reprogrammable hardware, called the Field-programmable
Port Extender (FPX). "The FPX can scan each and every byte of
every data packet transmitted through a network at a rate of 2.4
billion bits per second. In other words, the FPX could scan every word
in the entire works of Shakespeare in about 1/60th of a second," said
Lockwood. Real products based on the technology should appear soon.
More excerpts and references are contained in my blog
which also includes a photograph of an FPX module." I'm a little
confused as to what the big deal is about this. It's basically doing
two things: put antivirus protection at the network level instead of
the end client, which isn't a new idea at all and using an FPGA
hardware solution instead of software (which they seem to be saying is
faster). Am I missing something, or is this not that big of a deal?

Attachments and Prevents E-mail Viruses
07/15/2004 03:05 AMEmail Sentinel Pro 2.6 prevents users from receiving dangerous
e-mails, by blocking attachments, scripts, images and spamming
techniques before they reach the Inbox folder. Viruses aren't the only
reason to be concerned about HTML email. Spammers use email bugs,
scripts and images hidden in the HTML to track anyone who opens their
email. E-mail Sentinel Pro stops spammers from verifying an address.

On e-mail as a means of exchange...
On e-mail as a means of exchange...
03/06/2004 01:55 AMI've had lots of conversations over the last few years about ways
in which rising marginal cost could deal with grotesque abuses of
online services. There are probably a dozen posts in this blog about
that subject alone. Now the obvious example of a place where this kind
of thing has been proposed has been e-mail - people have been talking
about ways to get people to pay for e-mail "stamps" for years as a
possible means of avoiding spam. Bill Gates has proposed another version of this scheme recently. His idea -
ten-second pieces of computing time on the machine that sends the mail
being given to some worthy cause (or to just solve some abstract
puzzle). This would - apparently - be a gesture of good faith on the
part of the sender that a spammer couldn't possible match.
Now, my personal opinions about rising marginal costs have mainly
been about how to deal with noise, distance and abuse in online
communities. I once touched on the issue in connection with e-mail
(only because e-mail was a suitable jumping off point) and ended up in
an almighty fight with Cory
Doctorow about it. Since that time, I'm still of the opinion that
exponential graphs of effort or diminishing causality over space or
increasing marginal costs (all features of the real-world) still have
a role to play in how we solve gross abuses online. On the other hand
I've seen no evidence that there's a model that works particularly
well with regards to e-mail. Certainly my experience of sending the
fifty or sixty e-mails I send from my personal account a day (and the
other fifty or sixty that I send at work) wouldn't be radically
improved by having my various computers churn through puzzles for
twenty minutes a day.
With regards to the 1p-per-e-mail approach - I'm still of the
opinion that a more successful version would be about the
redistribution of money rather than the paying of it. What if the
person you sent your e-mail to got the 1p you spent to send it to them
and could then use that penny to send an e-mail in turn to whosoever
they wanted. In those circumstances, most users (who get as much
e-mail as they send) would be financially unaffected, the spammed
would get a financial reward for all the rubbish they were forced to
consume (there might even be a legitimate business model in collecting
spam) and the spammers would end up paying much much more money than
before.
This is not a new idea either, and nor do I think it's a
particularly practical one, but it does present some interesting
opportunities to think about e-mail in very different (ludicrous?)
ways - perhaps eventually even as a unit of currency that you write
upon and distribute. After all noted currency is only an abstraction
of value written on a rectangular piece of paper - why shouldn't our
future currency be based upon the transactions of plain text
files...
