"How To Build Your Own Network Intrusion Kit." Greetings; The enclosed are the written-up notes for a presentation I did at the recent "Access All Areas II" conference in London; the talk (based on ideas from my presentation slides from the '95 USENIX Security Symposium) describes how a simple network auditing tool/intrusion kit can be constructed with a minimum of keystrokes, with an aim of convincing journalists that this is not rocket science. Kindly bear this fact (that the talk is aimed at non-security non-unix people) before flaming me to death for such a "trivial" posting that may be beneath your dignity. That said, some of the concepts herein are quite amusing, and the modular toolkit approach to auditing tool construction is used to the full. The examples may provide useful teaching material for some people.

Yes, as a backup moderator for the (moribund) comp.sources.misc I should know better, but to be quite honest given the nature to the contents of the file (symlinks, gifs, etc) it's a whole lot easier to tar it up and post it, than to fight uphill against GNU sharutils.
