A document by CERT that gives home users an overview of the security risks and countermeasures.

IMO, most of the content is also relevant to SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) environments.

The Roberto Preatoni case - listing of all related resources

Submitted by Kai on Fri, 2007-11-09 09:56.
The Roberto Preatoni case is picking up speed around the world. This post is a quick update on the stories around, with links.

The background is found here. Short:


Roberto is a well known and respected security guy from Italy. He did a consulting job for the Telecom Italy, where he took part in the Tiger team back in 2003-2003. The Tiger Team where there to do pentesting. Some of the Tiger team members where arrested in January 2007, accused of spying. Now Roberto got arrested on the same charges.

This list is with newest first – as I have found them, or they have been reported to me. If you know other sources not yet covered, please add your comments! I will try to keep this list up to date.

Nov. 10: A Spannish (I guess) blog on security covers the news. Just a quick background on Roberto.
John Dunn blog offers some thoughts.

Nov. 6. - 9: 

Edit: A good quality Techworld update - still nothing new.

Edit: Microsoft want Roberto at Blue hat!
Italian version of same news. And at the TeckNudge.

Edit: A few more coverages:

  • eWeek covers the case here. A nice article that gives some background.
  • This blogpost from Spoonfork at security.org.my offers a couple of highly relevant questions on security in general. Nothing new about the case, though.
  • Planet-Websecurity offer some details, but nothing new. The article is copied from Sunnet Beskerming.
  • Techworld covers it (seems like cut’n’paste of the Computerworld story)
  • Ryan Naraine at Zdnet.com did some more digging.
  • Security.nl posted this article. Translation is needed, but it seems like it is just a summery of the same we know at this stage.
  • Digi.no (Norwegian) with some more details.
    Including that Roberto was on his way to the Paranoia conference in Norway. I am posting an update on this after I have talked to Arnfinn Roland, the guy who had to step in for Roberto.
  • Computerworld who brought the news to the world.
  • Dave Lewis had a short cover of the same.
  • The news was first broken (to me) by Alex Echelberry over at Sunbelt.
