Hiding Inside a Rainbow
Steganography is the art of hiding messages so that uninitiated wouldn’t suspect the presence of a message. A rainbow table is a huge binary file used for password cracking. This is the first in a series of posts on research I’ve done on how to hide data in rainbow tables, and how to detect its presence.

Rooting Out Rootkits
On a Windows system, rootkit refers to a process that subverts the operating system to hide its activities. If an antispyware program checks for the presence of a rootkit-hidden file using ordinary Windows functions, the rootkit intercepts the function call and changes the results, eliminating any reference to the malware's protected files. Similar techniques hide Registry entries, processes, network connections, and so on.

How can I tell if an e-mail or Web site is “suspicious” ?
Since this has turned out to be a regular thing, I’ve decided to give this feature an official name: Simple Security. Security discussions don’t have to require you to have a degree in computer science for them to be useful, even though they can certainly sound that way. I opted for the simplest, most approachable name since I’m aiming to provide you with explanations in the most simple, approachable terms.
