Uncover The Internet

SANS - The Internet Storm Center

by Wendy on March 16th, 2006

SANS, or the Internet Storm Center, is an interesting site that gives a heads-up to anyone surfing the Internet as to the possibility of malicious attacks. More from the site:

“The ISC was created in 2001 following the successful detection, analysis, and widespread warning of the Li0n worm. Today, the ISC provides a free analysis and warning service to thousands of Internet users and organizations, and is actively working with Internet Service Providers to fight back against the most malicious attackers.

…”Today the Internet Storm Center gathers millions of intrusion detection log entries every day, from sensors covering over 500,000 IP addresses in over 50 countries. It is rapidly expanding in a quest to do a better job of finding new storms faster, identifying the sites that are used for attacks, and providing authoritative data on the types of attacks that are being mounted against computers in various industries and regions around the globe. The Internet Storm Center is a free service to the Internet community.”

Although the site design is pretty ghetto and didn’t inspire a lot of trust in me at first glance, they do have a ton of useful information here; it’s well worth a look.
