This article presents several abstracts of research papers related to computer security. The abstract of the article "An Anti-Sniffer Based on ARP Cache Poisoning Attack," discusses an anti-sniffer based on a new detection technique. The proposed technique uses mainly an ARP cache poisoning attack to detect sniffing hosts in an Ethernet network, and is implemented in a tool called SupCom anti-sniffer. The authors also test four anti-sniffers. The abstract of the article "Reducing Enterprise Risk With Effective Threat Management," describes that the risk is the buzzword of the year, and managing and reducing risk the twin Holy Grails. Threat management combines all operational actions of intrusion prevention and protection into a life cycle where one component feeds the next. The other abstract of the article "SB1386: One Year Later," represents a comprehensive review of SB1386 and its implications for businesses from both a legal and information security perspective. It presents technical requirements, including numerous proactive steps that can be taken by an organization to avoid the significant ramifications of noncompliance, to comply with this legislation.
