Antivirus engines triggering on IE URL spoofing vulnerability while we wait for Microsoft to issue a patch
I received word from Cheetah, a firewall.cx member that the IE URL spoofing vulnerability demonstrated on this blog (a few posts below this) is now being recognised by some anti virus scanners as a 'URL spoofing exploit'. This is a good thing, since we're still waiting for Microsoft to issue a patch for the exploit. I have moved the actual demonstration link to a separate page so that anti virus products don't run around telling you that TFTFOTW is trying to do something evil. Rest assured that there is no malicious content on this site. It just goes to show that trust is a hard asset to win, and an even harder one to hold on to these days.
Once again, thanks to Cheetah for bringing this to my attention.

Security predictions for 2004
Well after you've read the post below this for IT predictions, you can have a look at some security predictions for 2004. I had also predicted the growth of personal firewalls in the enterprise, lets see how that comes about by the end of this year.
Security Predictions for 2004
The last paragraph really stands out. It makes three very pointed observations about how the IT industry and users have been dealing with security for the longest time, and why that has to change.

IT predictions for 2004, and Wi-Fi Security
I pulled these two gems off Slashdot.
The first are IT predictions for 2004, including the future of Microsoft and Linux, not to mention Sun, SCO, and Apple. Very worthwhile reading considering the guy who wrote this last year got 11 out of 15 predictions spot on. I'm not in total agreement with all his predictions, but what the heck, we'll know next year round won't we.

The second is a little Risk Assessment analysis of Wi-Fi networks. Don't expect too much technical detail, but some very good general risk identification ideas.

Happy new year all.
