1. Skills for the Future
By Don Parker
A lot of the emails sent to me ask a basic question: Just how does one br=
eak into computer security or what skills should you learn to get that fi=
rst security job. Lately though, I have been receiving many more queries =
on specifically how one can leverage an existing skill set to become an i=
nformation-technology security analyst.

2. Mother May I?
By Mark Rasch
"Sure, you can have a cookie, but you may not."We all have had that discu=
ssion before -- either with our parents or our kids. A recent case from N=
orth Dakota reveals that the difference between those two concepts may le=
ad not only to civil liability, but could land you in jail.

r-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to properly bounds-check user=
-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buff=
er.

An attacker may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code within the=
 context of application that invoked the ActiveX control (typically Inter=
net Explorer). Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service=
 condition.
