	Vulnerability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vulnerability refers to a person's state of being liable to succumb, as to persuasion or temptation (see Thywissen 2006 for a comparison of vulnerability definitions).
		Common application: In relation to hazards and disasters, vulnerability is a concept that links the relationship that people have with their environment to social forces and institutions and the cultural values that sustain and contest them.
		A sub-category of vulnerability research is social vulnerability, where increasingly researchers are addressing some of the problems of complex human interactions, vulnerability of specific groups of people, and shocks like natural hazards, climate change, and other kinds of disruptions.

		Computer scientists and not security professionals will probably gain the most from the reading of the book, but there is enough practical discussion to allow the latter to gain more insight into various aspects of computer security, particularly in the mathematics of encryption.
		Taking a computer system to be a finite-state automaton with transition functions that change state, a security policy is defined as a statement that partitions these states into 'secure' and 'nonsecure' states.
		Computer Security: Art And Science by Matt Bishop (Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of California - Davis) is an extensive, 1084-page instructional introduction to the science and challenges of computer security, and which is useful as either a classroom text or as a self-teaching tool.

	Student Abstracts: BNL - Computer Science
		Computer visualization plays an important role in the evaluation of model results with observations and in detailed studies of the physical and chemical processes represented in the model.
		In order for a computer to be considered "remediated," the system must be completely current with system updates, be running all necessary anti-virus programs, and most importantly to have no high risk vulnerabilities.
		A high risk vulnerability is usually a result of an unnecessary service running on the system, such as FTP or Telnet, that creates an open port which an outside attacker can exploit.

	Vulnerability (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer security, the word vulnerability refers to a weakness in a system allowing an attacker to violate the integrity, confidentiality, access control, availability, consistency or audit mechanism of the system or the data and applications it hosts.
		Vulnerabilities are of significant interest when the program containing the vulnerability operates with special privileges, performs authentication or provides easy access to user data or facilities (such as a network server or RDBMS).
		A construct in a computer language is said to be a vulnerability when many program faults can have their root cause traced to its use.

	Exploit (computer science) (Linux Reviews)
		In computer security, an exploit is a piece of software, a chunk of data, or sequence of commands that take advantage of a bug, glitch or vulnerability in order to gain control of a computer system or allow privilege escalation or a denial of service attack.
		A 'local exploit' requires prior access to the vulnerable system and usually increases the privileges of the person running the exploit past those granted by the system administrator.
		Often, when an exploit is published, the vulnerability is fixed through a patch and the exploit becomes obsolete for newer versions of the software.

		With the same equipment and "brute force" technique, Gershon Kedem, a Duke associate computer science professor, and graduate student Yuriko Ishihara of Nagano, Japan, were also able to compromise many of the more commonplace passwords that guard access to UNIX-based computer networks.
		Kedem and Ishihara proved the 40-bit key is vulnerable to more than government sleuthing by subjecting the 40-bit key to an attack with the "massively parallel" PixelFlow computer.
		Kedem said he decided to use PixelFlow to test the security of on-line encryption at the suggestion of John Poulton, a UNC-Chapel Hill computer science professor who is a major architect of the graphics computer, built in collaboration with the Hewlett-Packard Corp.

	Student Abstracts: LBNL - Computer Science
		In today's computer systems and networks, the act of enciphering and deciphering messages is applied to the bits of data that we share across networks.
		The threat imposed on our computer systems by attackers is the primary reason that we have to send messages, or data, in secret code.
		The application of cryptography to today's computer systems and networks helps to ensure that electronic information remains in its original form while being delivered, and that it is not falsified in order to gain access to a remote computer.

	Experimental Break-Ins Reveal Vulnerability In Internet, UNIX Computer Security
		DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke University computer science researchers found that using an experimental computer, they could "crack"within an average 3 3/4 hours the encryption that protects such privately held information as credit card account numbers on the Internet.
		The identity of a solution -- called the "key" -- is supposed to be known only to the sender and receiver of a scrambled communication.
		In the case of a 40-bit key, the total number of possibilities is 2 to the power of 40 -- 2 multiplied by itself 40 times -- which is 1,099,511,627,776 different combinations of 0 or 1 binary digits, he said.
